Burton Cain
BURTON CAIN.     Burton Cain, well known in commercial circles at Outville, where he conducts a large hay and grain business, descends from a family which for upwards of a century has been identified with the agricultural interests of this county, his grandfather, William Cain, having come here from Ireland at an early date, locating on the farm on which his grandson, Burton, was born.  He passed away there at the advanced age of eighty-two years, after having reared the following children; John, Andrew, Isaac, William, Joseph and two daughters.
     Isaac Cain was born Aug. 14, 1823, and spent his entire  life on the old homestead, containing one hundred and eighty-six acres in Union township, two miles east of Outville on the Black road, the place being known as "Mount Pleasant" farm.  He was well known throughout the township for his industry, through which he became quite prosperous, and was accounted among the county's best agriculturists.  His good character gave him an excellent reputation throughout the township for his life was always conducted as nearly as possible in harmony with the teachings of Christianity, as set forth in the Presbyterian church, of which he was a member.  He was indeed a desirable and worthy citizen, entertaining the confidence and respect of all who knew him.  He was twice married, his first wife, Minerva Parkerson, having passed away in 1855, leaving one child, John, who resides in Outville with Burton.  His second wife, Mary Condit, was a native of New Jersey, where her birth occurred Sept. 13, 1824.  With her parents, Isaac and Jane (Dobbins) Condit, natives of New Jersey, she came to Licking county when thirteen years of age and after a long and useful life passed away Feb. 28, 1901.  She was the mother of the following children:  George W., a resident of Columbus, Ohio; Burton; Jennie, the wife of William Yearly; Fannie, who became the wife of Frank Wells, of Harrison township; Mattie, who resides with her husband, Charles Nichols, in Westerville, Ohio; and Joseph B., who passed away in infancy. 
     On the farm on which his father was born and spent his entire life Burton Cain was reared, there familiarizing himself with the various departments of agriculture, and during boyhood acquired his education in the neighboring schools.  He remained upon the home place until 1898, when he located in Outville and established himself in the hay and grain business and also in handling live stock, in both enterprises being an extensive buyer and shipper.  In connection with his business interests here he still owns a part of the old homestead, the farm consisting of ninety acres, and in partnership with his half-brother John, he keeps the property under cultivation and raises general crops and stock, which he handles in connection with his business in the village.  He is an enterprising business man and, his volume of trade steadily increasing, the concern of which he is proprietor is one of the most prominent in the commercial circles of Outville.
     In 1891 Mr. Cain wedded Mary Alice Turner, a native of Kirkersville, Harrison township, where her birth occurred Aug. 9, 1859.  Her parents were Harvey and Elizabeth (Jackaon) Turner, her father a native of Perry county and her mother of Delaware county.  Mr. Turner, by a former marriage with Sarah Deweese, had one child, Elizabeth Embry, who resides in Kirkersville.  The children of his second marriage are: Mary Alice; Katie Embry, a resident of Newark, Ohio; William, who lives in Kirkersville; and Retta, who resides in Columbus, Ohio.  Mr. Cain gives his allegiance to the democratic party and, being a public-spirited man, he is always ready and willing to assist in promoting all measures designed for the general improvement of the community.  He belongs to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Red Men, in behalf of which organizations he takes an active interest, and he is a member of the Presbyterian church.  His business relations have always been straightforward and, being a man of excellent judgment and careful management, the commercial worth of the enterprise he conducts has added much to the financial standing of the town, in which he is favorably known as a representative and honorable citizen.

JOSEPH HAMLIN CONARD, a well known and representative farmer of Licking county, who has devoted his entire life to the tilling of the soil, was born in Burlington township, this county, Mar. 14, 1850, a son of Nathan and Catherine (Montgomery) Conard.  His paternal grandfather, Nathan Conard, came to Ohio from Loudoun county, Virginia, in 1805, and settled in Licking county, where, in in 1807, he purchased a farm of two hundred acres from James Stansbury, thus founding the old Conard homestead, where the remaining years of his life were spent.  Year by year he added to his original holdings until he became one of the most prosperous agriculturists and influential citizens of the community, at the time of his demise leaving to each of his nine children a farm of one hundred and twenty-five acres or more.  He was very prominent among his fellow citizens and served for many years as justice of the peace.  He took a very active interest in church work, being a member of the Methodist church.  A loyal and public-spirited citizen, he was at all times an earnest advocate of civic improvement and lent his aid to many measures destined for the general good.  He was in his seventy-sixth year when called to his home beyond.  His wife bore the maiden name of Miss Butcher, and survived him several years, her death occurring when she had attained the venerable age of ninety-six years.  Na than Conard, Jr., the father of our subject, was born on the old homestead about 1815, where he spent the years of his boyhood and youth.  Reaching manhood, he located in Burlington township, where his remaining days were spent in farming.  His death occurred when he was seventy years of age.  He was a republican in politics, and for several years served as an officer in the Methodist church.  His wife, Catherine (Montgomery) Conard, was born in Perry township, Licking county, Mar. 28, 1817, a daughter of Henry Montgomery, of whom mention is made elsewhere in this volume.
     Joseph Hamlin Conard, reared under the parental roof, acquired his education in the common schools of Licking county and at the age of twenty-two years went to live with an uncle and aunt, Joe and Betsy Conard, who bad never married.  Here for about twenty-four years he cared for them and looked after their agricultural interests, and at their death came into possession of their farm, which had been the birthplace of his father and which he continues to make his home.  This farm comprises one hundred and fifty acres, and be bought another farm of two hundred and eight acres in this township.  This property is yielding him excellent returns, and he is justly accounted one of the substantial agriculturists of this county.
     On Oct. 4, 1878, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Conard to Miss Eliza J. Parks, a daughter of James Parks, of Burlington township, who sacrificed his life in the Civil war.  Unto Mr. and Mrs. Conard have been born five children: Etta G., the wife of Frank Melick, residing in Burlington township; John A., who is operating one of his father's farms; Mary M., Wesley Ray and George C., all at home.  Following the example of his father and grandfather before him, Mr. Conard is a stalwart supporter of the republican party and is a member of the Methodist church, of which he is an elder and trustee.  His years of residence in this community have brought to him a host of warm friends and he is highly esteemed by all who know him and especially so by those who know him best.
