  JOSEPH H. RITCHIE who owns a well-improved farm of 120 acres which is located in section 25, Hoaglin township, is one of the wide-awake and influential agriculturists of the county, and a gentleman whose influence has been invariably cast for the upbuilding of the community.  He was born Sept. 30, 1855, in Licking County, Ohio, and is a son of Joseph and Susan (Stoolfire) Richie, who settled in that county about 1850.
     Joseph H. Ritchie was married Oct. 3, 1876, to Mary B. Merchant, a native of Licking County and a daughter of William W. Merchant, formerly a prominent resident of that county.  To this union four children were born Clyde D., Nathan L., Herbert E. and Susanna M.  Mr. Ritchie has taken an active interest in township affairs, has served for many years as director of school district No. 3 and is now serving on the township Board of Education.  He is a Republican and was formerly trustee of the township, serving in that office most creditably and satisfactorily.  Religiously, he is a member of Fairview United Brethren Church, of which he is at present treasurer.
