WILLIAM
HIMEBAUGH, White Eyes township;
farmer; born in Harrison county, February, 1818. His
father, Peter Himebaugh, was a native of
Northumberland county, Pennsylvania, and was of German
ancestry. William remained at home until he was
eighteen, when he apprenticed himself to a cabinetmaker at
Cadiz. In 1840 he came to this county, and he and his
brother, Peter, started a shop at Chili, where they
continued in the furniture business for eight years,
William teaching school during the winter. In 1843
he married Miss Sarah Alexander is a native of the
county Tyrone, Ireland, and was born April, 1825. Her
father, John Alexander, was educated at Dublin.
He studied medicine at the same place, but never practiced
his profession. He came to Buffalo, New York, in 1825;
lived there a short time, then moved to Pittsburgh where he
staid a couple of years; then came on to White Eyes township
and purchased the farm on which he resided till his death,
in 1854, at the age of eighty-four. He was the second
justice of the peace in the township, and held that office
until he was too old to serve. He was a ready writer,
and an occasional contributor to the newspapers.
Mr. and Mrs Himebaugh became the parents of two children -
Milton, born July, 1845, enlisted December, 1861, at
camp Meigs in Company G, Eightieth O. V. I. He
was clerk of the brigade commissary department, but at the
battle of Jackson he took a musket and went into the battle,
and received a ball near his heart while fighting. He
was patriotic and brave, and a young man of great promise.
William A. was born May 28, 1857, is reading law, and
is the only child living. Mr. Himebaugh moved
to Washington county in 1818, and returned to Chili in 1852.
He was elected county auditor in 1854, was installed in
March, 1855, and was re-elected in 1856. He is the
only Republican in the county who has held a county office
two terms in succession, and the only one who has ever held
the office of county auditor. In 1861 he bought and
moved on to the old Alexander place in White Eyes,
remained there until 1875, when he went to Avondale, and in
1877 located on the farm where he now resides.
Mr. Himbaugh was a strong and influential union
man. Jun, 1863, was appointed by the provost marshal
enrolling officer of a district including Crawford township.
The most interesting event that occurred while discharging
his duty in Crawford, took place on Madison's run, in the
vicinity of where a lodge of the "Golden Circle" was in the
habit of holding its meetings. He called on a young
man who was working in the cornfield for the purpose of
enrolling him. When asked for his name and age he
replied, "I don't go mit dis abolition war. I fights
nix for de nigger. I gives no name and I gives no how
old." Mr Himebaugh replied, "All right, sir,
there is another way of getting your name and age," and
turned to go to his horse. While passing from the
field to the road he saw two other persons cross the fence,
with clubs in their hands, and join the Dutchman in the
field.
When about 200 yards away he heard some loud swearing
from the Dutchmen, but could not understand what they were
saying. He had to go by the Dutchan's house in order
to get to his horse, and the three followed him, keeping at
a distance and pretty quiet until Mr. Himebaugh was
past the house, then they hastened their pace, and as soon
as they saw they could reach the house, the Dutchman
interviewed in the field, began swearing, "Now you're as far
as you gets, for I shoots you." He then went into the
house and came out with a gun on his arm, still swearing
that he would shoot. Mr. Himebaugh stood on the
opposite side of the fence with his hand on his revolver
waiting for a motion from the Dutchman, and telling him at
the same time that he was ready to open the ball at any
time. The other two were afraid to show themselves
after they got into the house.
However, the Dutchman did not shoot, but continued his
murderous threats, while Mr. Himebaugh walked
deliberately to his horse that was hitched a few rods
distant, when he found the saddle girth was cut. One
of the trio was then immediately dispatched past haste to a
magician in the neighborhood, and got him to use all his
power in the black art to put a stop to "dis enrolling
bizness." But, regardless of the shot-gun and the
conjurations of the charmer, the enrollment of Crawford was
completed.
The Dutchman was indicted by the United States grand
jury at Cleveland, was arrested and lay in jail and the
dungeon for a long while at that place. The other two
ran off and have not made their appearance since.
From 1862 to 1869 Mr. Himebaugh was United
States revenue assessor. He has been justice of the
peace in White Eyes township for twelve years, and holds
that office at present.
