A. M. OHL, grocer and
dealer in hardware and queensware at Smithville, Ohio, is a native
of Manchester, Summit Co., Ohio, born May 9, 1862. His
grandparents on the paternal side, Henry and Susannah Ohl,
came from Pennsylvania to Summit County at an early day, and were
among the pioneers of that county, the men and women who reclaimed
the land from the wilderness and helped to place Ohio in the proud
rank she holds among the most prosperous and influential
States in the Union. Henry Ohl was a resident of Summit
County for more than sixty years, and died there at the age of
eighty-two years; his wife, Susannah, also lived to an
advanced age. With the single exception of his father all of
Mr. Ohl's ancestors were long-lived people. On
his maternal side his grand-parents were also from Pennsylvania, and
they too were of these sturdy pioneers of Summit County, where both
are yet living, each being ninety years of age. They had nine
children, and had lived in Manchester more than fifty years, and had
celebrated their golden wedding some years before a death had
occurred in their family.
The father of A. M. Ohl, and who was named
Solomon, was born in Trumbull County, Ohio, Aug. 26, 1828.
After his marriage he moved to Manchester, were he lived the rest of
his lifetime, dying Jan. 19, 1869, when but forty years old.
He was a carriage builder, and carried on that business in
Manchester until his death. He was a man of strict religious
principles, a member of the German Reformed Church, in which he was
both deacon and elder. He was an honest and upright man, and
had the respect of every one who knew him. Mrs. Ohl was
born in Summit County, Jan. 13, 1832, and is still living in
Manchester, and is now the wife of Jacob H. Myers, of that
place. The only child of Solomon and Anna Ohl was the
subject of this sketch. He was but five years old when his
father died, and he continued to live with his mother until he was
twenty-one. He learned and worked at many trades. First
he tried blacksmithing, which he gave up to become a teacher of
Penmanship. He next tried painting in oils, and afterward
house painting, then butchering, and next kept a grocery. His
next venture was in keeping a dry goods store in Orrville, this
county, for more than a year; then sold out and moved to Smithville,
April 1, 1888. There he has the largest and best stocked
grocery and hardware store in the town, carrying a full stock of all
goods in this line.
Dec. 17, 1885, Mr. Ohl married Miss Mary J.
Fike, daughter of George and Catharine Fike, of Greene
Township, Wayne County. Mrs. Ohl was born Wayne County,
Oct. 14, 1865. Mr. Ohl is an enterprising young man, of
much push and energy and much versatility, who can turn his hand to
almost anything and has always been successful. He bears an
excellent reputation for honesty and trustworthiness as a business
man and citizen.
