John Dirk	JOHN DIRK was born in Rossville, Feb, 5, 1848. He attended the public schools for a number of years, afterward serving an apprenticeship at the Boston bakery. On Aug, 12, 1863, he enlisted in the Second Ohio Heavy Artillery, serving until the close of the Civil War. He was elected constable in 1867 and served continuously until 1879, when he was elected marshal, and served as chief of police. He declined a re-election and embarked in the pump business on the West Side in which he was very successful. He was a member of the city council from 1876 to 1879 and was president of the body in 1888 - 1889. To him belongs the credit of first agitating the idea of the city owing its gas works. He was elected Mayor in 1889. His administration was noted for good order. In August 1892, he was appointed by Governor McKinley a member of the board of managers of the Ohio penitentiary, which position he retained up to his death.
