Whetstone Twp. -
JOHN TRIMBLE, retired, Bucyrus; is a native of the Buckeye
State, having been born in Jefferson Co., Feb. 15, 1805.
His parents, Hugh and Ann (Long) Trimble, came from
Ireland to the United States in the latter part of the
eighteenth century, locating in Pennsylvania until 1800, when
they came to Jefferson Co., Ohio. In 1823, they came to
Whetstone Township, locating in the northern part, on land now
owned by Mr. Eichelberger. The father had come to
Whetstone Township the previous year, and entered 320 acres of
land. He was singularly upright, and after many years of
toil secured a comfortable home. The mother died in 1830,
and the father followed her in 1840. They were the parents
of nine children, two of whom are yet living - John and
William, the latter living in Liberty Township.
John Trimble remained with his father until the age of 22,
when he was sent to Delaware, Ohio, to enter the eighty acres of
land upon which he now lives. He walked to and from
Delaware, and upon his return was given twenty acres of the
eighty he had entered. On the 31st of January, 1828, he
was united in marriage with Miss Icy, daughter of
Daniel and Patience Parcher, his wife being born in Vermont,
Jan. 30, 1803. Her parents had come to New York, thence to
Mentor, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio, thence to Crawford Co., Ohio, in
1823. To John and Icy Trimble was born the
following family: Asenath, Icy, Mary A., Lafayette,
Nelson J., Sarah, John W., Lyman and Eliza; the
former three are the only ones now living. After his
marriage, Mr. Trimble began living on his twenty-acre
tract of land. In time he added considerably to his small
farm; but soon afterward gave it to his children, that they
might have something to start with in life. Mr. Trimble
has been a Republican since the organization of that party, and
was formerly a stanch Whig. Two of his sons, John
and Nelson, were soldiers in the late war. John
did not live to return home; his daughter Asenath is
the wife of G. W. Kieffer; Icy is the wife
of Franklin Bowers, and Mary A., the wife of J.
A. McMichael; the latter son-in-law, was also in the late
war. Mr. Trimble has held several township offices,
always serving with honor to himself and satisfaction to his
constituency. His wife died on the 25th of February, 1874;
he has the unlimited respect and confidence of his
fellow-citizens. As a member of the Baptist Church, he has
lived a long, consistent life.
