JAMES WALLACE. James
Wallace was a native of Kentucky, and came to Ohio when
he was a boy of fourteen years old. Diming the war of
1812, he brought the mail once a week to Springfield on
horseback, returning with the same to Cincinnati. He
settled in Springfield about the year 1814; apprenticed
himself to William Moody, a harness and saddle
manufacturer, but, before finishing his trade, he bought the
remainder of his time, and, by the assistance of Pearson
Spinning, he opened a store in the village of Lisbon.
He soon returned, however, and entered Mr.
Spinning’s store as partner,* where he and Mr.
Fisher, on opposite corners, kept up a lively
competition. In 1823, Mr. Wallace had a
store in his own name, in the brick building immediately
east of the present Mad River National Bank building, where
for several years he continued as a leading merchant.
Mr. Wallace was a very affable man, a good
talker, somewhat excitable, and an excellent salesman.
He was opposed to any one leaving his- store without
purchasing goods, and often he was seen enticing customers
in from the streets or pavement as they were passing along.
He kept a great variety of goods, so it became proverbial,
if an article could not be found elsewhere, it could be had
at “ Jimmy Wallace’s.” Becoming
unfortunately embarrassed in his business in later years, he
sold out and left Springfield. He maintained, however,
during these and subsequent days, his standing in the
Presbyterian Church, and reached a good age ere the day of
his death.

Bethel Twp. -
SMITH WALLACE, farmer; P. O.
Donelsville; is a son of Hugh M. Wallace, who was
born in Kentucky, Aug. 14, 1778, and lost his parents when
young, but remained in his native State until about 20 years
old, when he came to the Northwest stopping in what is now
Bethel Township, Clark Co., Ohio; here began work for a
previous settler, David Lowry, who had erected a rude
pioneer grist-mill on Donnel's Creek. His labors
continued for Mr. Lowry several years, and it is
supposed that he married in the year Ohio was admitted in
the United States, Margaret Smith (an aunt of Gen.
J. Warren Keifer). She was born in what is now
Bethel Township. Their union lasted only a few years,
when the terrible destroyer, consumption, tore her from the
earthly care, leaving husband and one child. The
latter soon too passed into eternity and the former during
their union had entered the southwest quarter of Sec. 27,
Bethel Township. After continuous efforts and hard
labor, he had paid eighty dollars, but failed to complete
the task, hence lost both land and money. After the
death of his wife he remained in the employ of Mr. David
Lowry, until the desperate red man's deeds in 1812 were
to be suppressed. In this struggle he was a
participant, enduring many privations, but on July 6, 1814,
he married for his second wife, Eleanor Richison, who
was born in the Norwest, Feb. 10, 1793. Nine children
were born to them, of whom seven now survive. Soon
after hits marriage, Hugh again, with renewed
efforts, entered the same quarter section; by perseverance
and determination succeeded in completing his task.
This dense wilderness was gradually converted into open
fields. When they first settled on this farm, Mrs.
Wallace and her mother Mrs. Richison, would
frequently walk to Dayton, do their trading and return the
same day with groceries, etc., on their backs, making a
round trip of about 35 miles. Thus Hugh and
family trod the path of life until Feb. 15, 1864, when his
death severed the union, and she, too, passed away July 1,
1875, and thus ended the life of two worthy pioneers of
Clark Co. Smith Wallace was born June 23, 1817,
on the farm he now owns, on which his entire life save five
years, has been spent. His early life was spent in
assisting his father to clear up the farm on which he
cultivated crops. The log schoolhouse in which he
procured most of his education was at a distance of only
half a mile. His marriage was celebrated May 11, 1843,
with Sarah Stevens, of Shelby Co., Ohio, where she
was born, Aug. 4, 1822. The fruit of this union was
nine children and continued to cultivate it until his
younger brothers were of sufficient size to take charge
under the father's supervision, thence he settled near
Springfield as a renter, and five years later returned to
the home farm, which he purchased, and is now well situated,
though he and family labored long and hard. On June 3,
1868, when a large, new brick house was just completed, her
death severed the union. He married again on Dec. 10,
1874, for his second wife, Julia A. Copp, who was
born in Logan Co., Ohio, Jan. 4, 1838, and died in the faith
of the Christian Church, Oct. 26, 1879, leaving husband and
one child, a daughter, Gracie A. Mr. Wallace
has been solicited to fill various offices of trust in
county and township, but as yet never accepted. The
family have been members of different Protestant churches,
and no doubt much good has grown out of their labors.

AMOS WHITELEY, manufacturer, Springfield;
is a native of Clark County; was born near Springfield in 1838; he spent his
boyhood on the farm with his father,
Andrew Whiteley, but like his brother,
William N. Whiteley, early gave
mechanical pursuits nearly his entire attention, spending most of his time in
the same workshop, serving an apprenticeship, and thus rendering valuable
service to his brother, and assisting in producing the first Champion machine;
from the formation of the firm of Whiteley & Fassler and Whiteley, Fassler & Kelly, he was the principal business manager (the
firm devoting most of their time to the improving and perfecting of the Champion
machines), having charge of the accounting department and traveling salesman,
until 1867, when the Champion Machine Company, the history of which is fully
given elsewhere in this work, was organized with
Amos Whiteley at its head, since
which he has held the office of President of this company; he is also the
Treasurer and the General Ticket Agent of the Springfield Southern Railroad
Company, having entire charge of the accounting department; his rare energy and
business ability, the economy of his management and the value of his systematic
methods, under his supervision; he is one of the foremost citizens in all public
enterprises; is President of the City Council, and one of the men to whose
progressive energy and industry is due the development of Springfield, from a
country village to one of the leading manufacturing cities of the country; he
married, in 1860, Miss Josephine Ferrell,
daughter of Nathaniel and Sarah Ferrell. She has borne him two children,
both of whom were boys, and are receiving a thorough education at
Wittenberg College.

ANDREW WHITELEY; resident of the city of
Springfield; was born in Harrison Co.,
Ky., May 31, 1812; his parents were natives of
North Carolina and Kentucky; the father,
John Whiteley, was born in the former State, and the mother,
Christiana Hall, in the latter; the
father, though born in the State of North Carolina, was reared in Virginia,
going to Kentucky in early manhood; the ancestrial lineage was English on the
side of the father, and likewise English on the mother’s side, the more remote
ancestors, however, on the father’s side have been traced back to France,
Ireland and Germany, and those of the mother to France, Scotland, Wales, Germany
and Spain. The father was married to
Christiana, daughter of
William Hall¸ at the house of the
latter, some five miles east of Springfield, Ohio (now owned by
William Wilson), in the year 1811, and returned to Kentucky, where they remained until 1814,
when they came to the Reid neighborhood, some three and a half miles east of Springfield, where he was occupied
for two years in teaching school, then permanently located in the vicinity of
the Hall farm. He was a man of considerable prominence,
having been for some years
County Commissioner and a Justice of the Peace. The subject of this sketch was united in
marriage with Nancy C. Nelson, of
New England parents, Sept. 24, 1833, to which union there were born
six children, viz.: William N., Amos N.,
Eliza J., Nancy C., Caroline and
James B., all of whom are married and have children.
William N. married Mary McDermitt; they have two children; Amos married Josephine E. Ferrell¸ and has two
children; Eliza married
Johnson Morton, and has one child;
Nancy married
W. T. Stillwell, and has one boy;
Caroline married
Edward Myers, and has one child, and James married Maggie Johnson, and has one girl. Until the year 1852,
Mr. Whiteley had devoted his entire
attention to farming; then, for the next five years, in connection with farming,
he was engaged with his son, William N.,
in the invention of the reaping and mowing machine, which, as it were, has been
wafted by the four winds of heaven to all parts of the civilized globe, and the
genius of the inventor heralded to every clime.
Since that period, Mr. Whiteley has given his attention to inventions, principally, in the line of the same
machines – improving the reaping and mowing machines, and the automatic and
spring binder; taking out and re-issuing patents, etc., etc. Many of his best inventions are found in
the Champion reapers, mowers and binders.
The father of our subject was a strong Whig, in whose footsteps his son trod,
and on the coming of the Republican party, became an advocate of its principles,
to which he adhered until the close of the war.
In 1872, he voted for Horace
Greeley; in 1876, for Samuel J.
Tilden, and in 1880, for Weaver,
who, in his opinion, was an upholder and respector of the rights of the laboring
classes.

WILLIAM WHITELEY,
Springfield. Throughout Clark
County the name of Whiteley is a
household word, and there are few families more widely known over the State, in
fact, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and wherever machinery for farm labor
can be utilized, there the product of the inventive genius of the
Whiteley family have found a lasting
welcome. They come of English stock,
who settled in Virginia before the Revolution,
William's grandfather, Joseph, with his brother, John Whiteley, serving throughout
that struggle for liberty, the latter yielding up his life in that great cause.
Joseph raised a large family, John, the father of
William, being one of the number, he
being born in North Carolina while his parents were on a visit to that State,
but always claiming Virginia as the State of his nativity. In 1804,
John Whiteley came from Kentucky
to Ohio on a prospecting tour, and again, in
1810, made a like trip, and in the spring of 1811, was married in what is now
Clark County, to
Christiana Hall, a native of
Virginia, of English, German and Scotch extraction, whose parents came to this portion
of Ohio
at an early day.
John and wife went back to Kentucky where he engaged in teaching school, being a man of good
education, and there they remained until 1814, when they returned to Clark
County, where he continued school-teaching, being one of the early educators in
the neighborhood of “Fletcher Chapel;” they raised a family of seven children,
four sons and three daughters, as follows:
Andrew, Freelove,
William, Abner, Joseph, Nancy and
Sarah, the eldest being the father of
William N. Whiteley, head of the
Champion Works, and the leading spirit in their growth and development.
John and wife lived and died in this county, having done their duty well in the building up of
the moral and material interests of the neighborhood, in which they were honored
and respected people. The subject of
this sketch was born in the eastern part of
Springfield
Township Jan. 18, 1815, and grew to manhood, working
on the home farm; but the whole family being natural inventors, they early
turned their attention to the invention and improvement of farm machinery. Beginning in a small way on the farm
in the manufacture of plows, and later, mowers and reapers, which have developed
into the gigantic manufacturing interests known far and wide as the Champion
Company, the history of which will be found in this work.
William was married, in 1848, to Mary Ann Stickney, daughter John and Sarah Stickney,
natives of England.
Mrs. Whiteley was born in this
county, and has had one child, Mary E., and the family are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Mr. Whiteley has been identified with nearly every manufacturing interest that Springfield can
boast of today, and has been prime mover in many of them; his time and money
have ever been devoted to all classes of public benefits, and few men have done
more, according to his means, for the material welfare of his native county,
than William Whiteley; charitable and
benevolent to all, his generosity in helping his neighbor has been the cause of
much financial trouble to himself, yet he has gone on in his path and his
indefatigable industry, coupled with his great natural inventive genius, has
again attained for him a competency; politically a Republican, he has filled
many positions of trust and confidence, and his only desire through life has
been to do his duty, benefit his fellow-man, by helping to build up the moral
and material interests of his native county, and thereby merit the respect of
all good citizens, as well as leave to his family an unsullied character.

WILLIAM N. WHITELEY, a manufacturer, Springfield; is a son of
Andrew and Nancy (Nelson) Whiteley;
was born near Springfield,
Aug. 3, 1835.
NOTE: - Mr. Whiteley needs no
biography for the citizens of Clark Co., his history
is synonymous with that of Springfield and its best
and greatest interests. His native modesty moved him to
request that no personal mention be made of him.

ELIHU STEPHEN WILLIAMS
was born
Jan. 24, 1835, near New Carlisle, Clark Co., Ohio, and
is the son of Elder Henry Williams and Elizabeth
Williams, formerly Elizabeth Pettigrew.
His parents were born in Virginia, his mother remained
there until she was of age. His father was brought
to Ohio in 1807 when a child, and the family settled
near New Carlisle, where Eld. H. Williams now
lives. E. S. Williams worked on a farm
until 16 years of age, getting what education he could
in the winter school of the country district in which
his parents resided. Not satisfied with the
outlook, he demanded of his father that he should be
sent regularly to school. His father replied that
if he wanted a better education than he was getting at
home, to get it himself. The boy took his father
at his word, and with $1.50 in his pocket he started out
in life for himself. He worked by days' work among
the farmers until he got money enough to pay his board
for a few months, then, under the tuition of Mr.
Arnet, of Troy, he fitted himself to pass
examination for a certificate to teach school, which he
obtained, and taught school the following winter in
Brontet, of this county. By working in the summer
and teaching in the winter, he struggled on until he
acquired a fair education. In 1858, he commenced
reading law in the office of F. P. Cuppy, Esq.,
of Dayton, Ohio, and by working in the summer, and
teaching school, he supported himself until February,
1861, when he was admitted to practice by the Supreme
Court of Ohio. After closing a school he was then
teaching, he went to Southern Illinois to select a
location to follow his profession, and while there Ft.
Sumter was fired upon, and the nation had need of her
young men; he took the first train north for the purpose
of enlisting, but before he reached home Ohio's quota
was full; he then went to Mercer Co., Ohio, and hung out
his shingle in Celina, but in a few weeks the second
call for troops was made; he then took the stump for
volunteers in Mercer Co., then, as now, one of the
strongholds of Democracy. He raised fifty-six men
and reported to Camp Tod, Troy, Ohio; he then went into
the ranks as a private. The 71st O. V. I. was
organized, and on Oct. 5, 1861, he was elected 1st
Lieutenant of Company A, was commissioned February 14,
1862, was promoted Captain Feb. 10, 1863. He was
in the battle of Shiloh, leaving a sick-bed to fight
with the boys he enlisted; his Captain being slightly
wounded in the morning, he had command of the company
during the bloody battle of Sunday, holding his men in
front of the fight until night closed the contest.
He was with the four companies of the regiment,
stationed at Ft. Donelson, and was in the fight at
Donelson when his four companies defeated Col.
Woodward's regiment, who had captured Col.
Rod. Mason and the six companies at
Clarksville; he was promoted to the command of Company
H, and was with the regiment in all its marches and
skirmishes until September, 1863, when, although the
fifth Captain in the line of his regiment, he was given
the command of three companies and a section of
artillery and sent by the General commanding to take
charge of the post of Carthage, Tenn., situated 150
miles by river above Nashville. The post was
established by Gen. Crook with a division and
afterward held by Gen. Spears, with a brigade.
There were a large amount of Government stores
accumulated there for the use of the army, which could
not be removed on account of low stage of water in the
Cumberland River. The post was thirty-six miles
from any support, and the confederate commands of Col.
Hughs and Col. Hamilton, estimated
at from one thousand to fifteen hundred men, were within
striking distance of Carthage; and Gen. Payne
afterward told Capt. Williams that he did not expect the
post to be held a week; that he could not spare any more
troops; but from what he had heard of him he knew the
rebels would not get the place without a hard fight.
But Capt. Williams not only held the post
until the river raised sot that the Government stores
were removed, and his troops were not only vigilant and
active in camp duty, but a part of them were mounted
from horses captured and "pressed" from rebels, and did
splendid service in driving the guerrillas out of the
country, and before Christmas had killed and captured a
rebel solder for every man in his command, and by the
spring of 1864 had recruited a regiment of loyal
Tennesseeans, which, under the command of Col.
Garrett, did effective service for the Federal
cause. Carthage was then made a recruiting
station, and by the petition of Union citizens and the
request of Andy Johnson, then Military Governor
of Tennessee, he was detailed for service in organizing
Tennessee troops, and remained in Carthage until the
close of the war, participating in every movement
against the enemy in that part of Tennessee, rendering
effective service against the forces of the rebel
Gen. Wheeler in his famous raid in Middle Tennessee.
After the war was over, he remained in Smith Co., Tenn.,
and engaged in the practice of law, and took an active
part in the reconstruction of Tennessee, being a member
of the first convention held for that purpose in
Nashville. In April, 1865, he was commissioned
District Attorney for the Sixth Judicial District of
Tennessee, and held that position until the summer of
1867, and then resigned to accept the nomination as
Republican candidate for the Legislature to represent
the district of Sumner, Smith and Mason counties.
After an exciting and dangerous canvass, he was elected
by a handsome majority; and received the largest vote
ever polled for the Republican party in those counties,
and served for two years in what is known as the Radical
Legislature of Tennessee; he took an active part in all
the leading measures, and retired at the close of the
term with the confidence of his party and the respect of
opponents. He was married May 31, 1866, to
Alice Gordon, daughter of Dr. Wiley B. Gordon and
Virginia Gordon, who was the daughter of Gen.
Russwunn. In 1869, Capt. Williams
refused to be a candidate for any political office, and
remained on his farm until the year 1875, however taking
an active part with the Republican party, fighting in
battles all the more earnestly because the party was in
Tennessee prescribed and persecuted, and in a hopeless
minority. In January, 1875, he entered into
partnership with his brother, H. H. Williams, to
practice law in Troy, Ohio, and moved his family to that
place, where he now resides, busily engaged in the
practice of his profession.

Bethel Twp. -
HENRY WILLIAMS, retired farmer; P.
O. New Carlisle. We take great pleasure in
introducing to our readers the oldest continuous
resident of Clark Co. now living, Mr. Henry Williams,
who, since 1805, has lived almost within sight of his
present home. Long before Clark Co. was organized
our subject was engaged in doing the duty of the pioneer
boys, whose parents had emigrated from other States to
the great Northwest, to make homes for themselves and
children; and as they toiled early and late, they little
thought that their labors would be productive of such
great results as have followed during the life of the
second generation, whereby this beautiful and, by their
labor, has become the pride of Ohio. The father of
our subject, Henry Williams, Sr., with his wife,
Elizabeth (Albert) Williams, came from Greenbrier
Co., Va., in 1805, on horseback, each of them carrying
two children, our subject being the youngest, then only
3 months old. They settled on the farm now in
possession of Mr. Williams, the land having been
previously entered by a Mr. Shorts, a land
speculator, of Cincinnati. Henry, Sr.,
built the first cabin in the virgin forest, which
nothing had inhabited save the wild animals and the
Indian, of whom there were many still living in the
vicinity. He was drafted during the Indian war of
1812, under Capt. McPherson, leaving his wife and
small children to care for each other, while he, with
nearly every other able-bodied man, was protecting the
frontier from inroads and savages. There were nine
children in all - Isaac, Nancy, Jane, Henry,
Margaret, Elizabeth, Selah, Mary and John J. A.
Williams. The four eldest were born in
Greenbrier Co., Va. Our subject, the two youngest
daughters adn the youngest son are still living.
The game was very plentiful in early times, and Mr.
Williams tells us that his father, at one shot with
a rifle, killed seven wild turkeys. He remembers
well when Gerard was killed, near Troy, by the
Indians. The father of our subject died in 1845,
after living a long and useful life, his wife preceding
him, Nov. 9, 1829. The subject of our sketch was
married in 1832, to Miss Elizabeth Pettigrew, of
Rockbridge Co., Va. Her parents died some years
previous, they being aged when first settling here.
Their children were five in number - Elihu S., Julius
C., Henry H., Isaac W. and Elizabeth B. Mr.
Williams furnished three brave sons for the Union
army during the war of the rebellion, E. S. Williams
being Captain of Co. H, 71st O. V. I. Isaac W.
contracted disease and died a few years after the close
of the war. Henry H., now the Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas, Miami Co., was also wounded,
which has disabled him for life. Capt. E. S.
Williams was also Representative from Smith Co.,
Tenn., in the Legislature of 1867, and was Attorney
General of that State for two years, being appointed by
Gov. Brownlow. Our subject has for many
years been acting as Pastor in the Christian Church.
His sons are all prominent men, and do credit to their
name. Their mother died on Dec. 23, 1869, leaving
an example worthy of imitation. Briefly, then, we
have given a sketch of a gentleman and his family, who
have for many years been recorded among the prominent
ones of this county. During his pastorate,
extending over a period of forty years, Mr. Williams
received from all sources $200 in cash; and under
his ministrations, 500 souls were brought to Christ.
He is still active in mind, but infirm in body, and is
at this time 76 years of age, being born Feb. 27, 1805.

Bethel Twp. -
JOHN J. A. WILLIAMS, farmer; P. O.
New Carlisle; belonging to the family of the first
settlers of Bethel Township is J. J. A. Williams,
youngest son of Henry and Elizabeth Williams,
mentioned in the biography of Henry Williams, of
this township. He is now reckoned among the old
settlers of this county, being born in 1818, the same
year that Clark County was organized. He has from
choice followed the occupation of farming, and is now
living on the farm where he was born; the house is still
standing, and in good repair. Few boys cling so
closely to their childhood's home, but, but those that
do have the satisfaction of knowing the appreciation
felt by their neighbors, and also have witnessed the
grand improvements made in the county since their
boyhood. The numerous lines of railroad skirted by
the magic wires that transmit the news in an instant
from one end of the State to the other, have all been
built and put into active operation since his
recollection, while the pretentious farmhouse takes the
place of the rude log cabin, that were sparsely
scattered through the woods a half century ago.
J. J. A. Williams was married in 1847 to Miss
Annie M. Kissinger, of York Co., Penn. Her
parents, Benjamin and Margaret Kissenger, came to
this township about 1833. John and his wife
had seven children; those living are Mary E., the
wife of John Mann; Margaret A., the wife
of John W. Shroyer; John F., Ida M. and
Charley E. Henry C. and Ella died in
infancy. The children will never know, except by
the recital of the stories, of the privations of the
early settlers, and in this history will be found the
sketches and incidents connected with the lives, not
only of the first settles of this township, but of the
pioneers of the county. Mr. Williams has
been connected with the public schools, in an official
capacity, for sixteen consecutive years. He enjoys
an excellent reputation as a man of correct business
habits, and his children may have a just pride in the
record of their ancestry, who have always been noted for
their integrity and excellent business qualifications.

LEWIS
WISE, farmer; P. O. Springfield. Mr. Wise was born in
this county Dec. 14, 1829; he has followed farming all his
life, and is of a true, genuine, hospitable nature. He was
married, Sept 18, 1856, to Melinda Hatfield, daughter of
James and Margaret (Kitchen) Hatfield; they have had six
children, viz., Alice, Joseph, Charles C., James H., Minnie
E., John S., all living except Alice and Joseph, who have
crossed the river to that purer and better home in heaven.
Mrs. Wise was born in this county Sept. 8, 1833; Mr. and
Mrs. Wise moved to their present home a few days after their
marriage, being their first and only moving. Mr. Wise is the
son of Jesse and Debora (Strong) Wise; Jesse was a native of
Virginia, and, when but a small boy, his father died,
leaving the mother with the care of their two children,
Jesse and Polly, and, in 1801, she, with her children, came
to Ohio and to this county, traveling all the way from
Virginia here on horseback, with one of the children before
and the other behind her on the horse. Mrs. Wise's father,
James Hatfield, was a native of Kentucky, and her mother of
Pennsylvania, he coming to Clark County in 1806, and she in
1812. Lewis' mother died in 1832, and his father in 1876.
The farm on which Mr. and Mrs. Wise now live was entered by
her Grandmother Hatfield about the year 1808, and has
remained in the possession of some of the family ever since;
and on the 25th of August, 1880, when a family re-union was
held on the old farm, there being present 100 persons, all
relatives, except three, of Mrs. Wise; during the day, the
older ones related many interesting incidents which had
occurred on the old farm during their boyhood days.

Samuel Wolf
Springfield Tp. |
SAMUEL
WOLFE, farmer; P. O. Springfield; son of Henry and
Elizabeth (Haller) Wolfe; was born near Harper's Ferry,
Va., June 14, 1809. When Samuel was 11 years old, his
parents came to Ohio and settled on the farm now owned by
him; they were among the early settlers of this county;
their family consisted of nine children, of whom Samuel
is the seventh child. Mr. Wolfe was a man who
never sought public office, but worked quietly along on his
farm, providing well for his household; and Samuel,
like his father, has passed through life having the Golden
Rule for his motto, following the same strictly, being loved
and respected by all who know him. Samuel has
always lived on the farm, and received his education at the
district school. He was married, in 1847, to
Margaret J., daughter of George and Rachel (Prickett)
Kitt; Mrs. Wolfe was born in this
county in 1823, and it was her Grandfather Prickett
who bought the old mill of Lagonda from Simon Kenton.
To Samuel and Margaret J. Wolfe, were born the
following children: Elizabeth C., Rachel Ann, James
Milton, George H., Louisa, John K., William (who died
Jan. 20, 1878), Frank and Howard. For
thirty-three years they lived happily together, enjoying the
comfort of each other's society and doing their duty in all
things; but, on the 19th of July, 1880, death visited this
happy home and took from him his partner through life's joys
and sorrows, leaving a void in the household and heart of
her companion that can never be filled. Mr. Wolfe
remembers, when a boy, of seeing the Indians on his father's
farm, but at that time they were friendly. He is a
Republican in politics, and is considered one of the honest,
upright pioneers of his township - a plain, practical man,
with no pretensions but honesty, morality, charity and
justice toward all mankind. In 1865, he and wife
united with the Baptist Church, in which faith his wife
died, and of which Mr. Wolfe is a consistent member,
patiently awaiting the day when he shall meet, in a better
land, those whom he knew and loved on earth - such being the
hope and consolation that religion gives him.

Isaac C. Wood |
Springfield Twp. -
ISAAC COREY WOOD,
retired farmer; P. O. Springfield. This well-known pioneer
comes of pure English origin, his paternal and maternal
grandfathers, Jeremiah Wood and Thomas
Corey, having been natives of England, who settled in
New Jersey at an early day. Here his father, Isaac
Wood, was born, July 10, 1771, and was married, Oct.
9, 1797, to Jane Corey, a native of that
State, born July 2, 1779, and in 1798 they came West and
settled in Warren Co., Ohio, where they remained until
March, 1812, when they came to Clark County, settling on
Sec. 15, Springfield Township, removing, in the following
year, to Sec. 9, where his son Thomas now resides;
they had thirteen children: six are yet living; five
sons reside in this county, and one daughter in Allen Co.,
Ohio; he died Aug. 24, 1825, his wife surviving him
forty-six years, dying May 12, 1871. The subject of
this sketch was born in Warren Co., Ohio, May 16, 1802;
removed with his parents to this county in 1812, and here
grew to manhood, attending the primitive log schoolhouse a
short time, where he learned the rudiments of reading,
writing, etc. On the 15th of June, 1825, he was
married to Honora Scantlin, daughter of
Jeremiah and Diana Scantlin, he a native of Ireland and
she of Virginia, her father being killed in the war of 1812,
while bravely fighting against the English foe, sacrificing
his life in behalf of freedom and to defeat the oppressors
of his native land. Mrs. Wood was born
in Virginia Dec. 12, 1808, and, after her father’s death,
her mother married John Collins, who died in
that State, when she was married to Spalding
Winchester, who came with the family, in November, 1822,
to Clark County, settling in the west part of Harmony
Township, removing thence to Springfield Township, where
they died in 1857, sincere members of the M. E. Church, she
dying Aug. 15, and her husband Sept. 15, of that year.
About forty-five years ago, Mrs. Wood joined
the Free-Will Baptist Church, and has since taken an active
interest in that denomination. Politically, Mr.
Wood was a Whig, casting his first vote for Clay
in 1824, but, upon the formation of the Republican party, he
joined its ranks, and, since his first vote, has never
missed casting his ballot for the Presidential nominee of
his party, and has always been an Abolitionist; he has been
a rigid temperance man all his life, and his honesty and
integrity are too well known to be doubted, his word at all
times being as good as his note. On the 15th day of
June, 1875, they celebrated their golden wedding by an
excursion to the Soldiers' Home at Dayton, whither they were
accompanied by twenty-two of their friends, and, if both
live to the same date of June, 1881, they will be fifty-six
years man and wife - an event that seldom occurs in the
annals of married life. Mr. Wood belongs
to no church, his motto through life being the Golden Rule,
which he has ever tried to follow in all his transactions
with his fellow-men. For over sixty-nine years he has
lived in Clark County, and has judiciously saved the results
of his industry, but is without children on whom to bestow
his means; he has retired from active business, and, with
his aged wife, is now enjoying the blessings of a moral,
well-spent life.

GEORGE S. WRIGHT; P. O. Enon.
Mr. Wright was born Mar. 1, 1845; is the son of Levi
and Mary J. Wright; whose parents emigrated from
Frederick Co., Va., settling in Clark Co., Ohio, at Green
Plains (a Quaker settlement), in 1818. He remembers of
having heard his grandfather (Richard Wright, who
died in 1864) say that when he settled at Green Plains, that
he was compelled to wagon his grain to Cincinnati for
market, often trading a bushel of wheat for a pound of
coffee. Our subject was reared on a farm, and his
father having died in 1848, he was compelled, in early life,
to attend the arduous duties of providing for sister,
brother and widowed mother, who still reside on the same
farm near Green Plains, with the exception of the sister,
Mrs. Howe, who resides in Brattleboro, Vt. On
account of these early cares, he received but a common
school education When the cry of war rang through the
land for volunteers, and President Lincoln made his first
call for 300,000 to protect the nation's flag, Mr. Wright
dropped his school-books, and at the early age of
seventeen years, responded to that call, by enlisting, on
the 11th day of January, 1862, in the 10th O. B., which was
soon assigned to the Army of the Southwest, under Gen.
Grant, participating in the battles of Shiloh (Pittsburg
Landing), Corinth (where he and his gun came near being
captured, only escaping by a desperate struggle), Iuka
Jackson, Grand Gulf, Vicksburg (forty-two days'
siege), Kenesaw Mountain, Marrietta and Atlanta, Ga.,
where his gallant corps commander, Gen. McPherson,
was killed on that memorable 22d of July, 1864. The
rebels, having been driven entirely out of the Southwest,
and Gen. Sherman taking up his march for Savannah,
all troops, whose terms of enlistment were first expiring,
were ordered to Nashville, to which place the rebel Gen.
Hood was fast making his approach; but the Union forces
were there in time to give him a hot reception, and at this
place the 10th O. B. fought its last fight for the Union
cause and the stars and strips. Mr. Wright
having served his three years, was held two months over that
time, on account of the battle of Nashville, where 600
soldiers laid down their lives after the term of enlistment
had expired; he was then honorably discharged from the
service of the United States, Mar. 2, 1865. Though
serving as a private through all this period, he was
recommended for a commission for bravery at the battle of
Corinth, of which particular mention is made in the army
records, and in the Whitelaw Reid's History of Ohio in the
war (2d Vol.). On account of his age the General of
the army did not consider the recommendation favorably.
Leaving the service, we again find him engaged in the quiet
pursuit of farming and stock-raising. Continuing at
that vocation until 1870, at which time he studied
railroading and telegraphing, and was employed on several
Western roads in Illinois and Iowa. Returning to Ohio
in 1875, he connected himself with the Atlantic and Great
Western Railroad, as agent and operator at Enon, Ohio, where
he still is employed. On Oct., 1875, he was married to
Miss Mary E. Randall of Springfield, Ohio, the issue
of this marriage is a daughter (Estie), born Jan. 10,
1880. We are sorry to record the death of Mr.
Wright's wife, which took place Apr. 14, 1880, in the
23d year of her age. We leave Mr. Wright where
we found him, young in years, but old in experience, ready
and waiting (if need be) his country's call. Is a
supporter of the present administration.
