JAMES POOL, now deceased, was
a resident of Greenfield township, Fairfield county, and the
qualities of an upright manhood were his, winning for him
the esteem and confidence of his fellow men. He was
born near Pittsburg, in Washington county, Pennsylvania,
December 11, 1819, and was a son of William Pool, a
native of England, who on crossing the Atlantic to America
took up his abode in Washington county, Pennsylvania.
The subject of this review acquired his education in the
public schools and spent the days of his boyhood and youth
in the county of his nativity. In 1842 he sought a
home in Ohio, removing to Hocking county, where he engaged
in farming for twenty years, becoming one of the successful,
well known and esteemed agriculturists of that community.
While there he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Waller,
a native of Ohio and a daughter of Samuel Waller,
whose birth occurred in Virginia, and who was a soldier of
the war of 1812, while the grandfather of Mrs. Pool
was one of the heroes of the Revolution, valiantly aiding in
the struggle for independence.
In 1862 Mr. Pool went with his family to New
Albany, Indiana, and there he established a marble and
granite business in connection with his brother, the
partnership, being maintained for four years. On the
expiration of that period our subject sold out and in 1866
removed to Lancaster, Ohio, where he embarked in the same
line of business. After conducting the enterprise for
a while, however, he put aside cares along that line and
purchased one hundred and sixty acres of fine farming land,
a portion of which is within the corporate limits. He
located thereon and throughout his remaining days gave his
attention to the development and cultivation of land, the
rich fields returning to him golden harvests for his
industry and diligence. He was very reliable in
business and well does he deserve the success which he has
gained.
Unto Mr. and Mrs. Pool were born four children,
of whom three are now living. Asbury S. resides
in Lancaster and married Miss Maria Stone by whom he
has seven children: Lola, Belle, Minnie, Frank,
Harry, Smith and Ollie. Francis M. wedded
Miss Ollie Valentine and they reside in Lancaster.
William died in youth. Margaret Elizabeth,
to whom we are indebted for the history concerning her
father, became the wife of Thomas J. McFarland, who
for many years was a successful and popular traveling
salesman. His parents were John C. and Amanda
(Carlisle) McFarland, the former born in Greenfield
township, Sept. 22, 1819, was a son of Walter and
Margaret (Courtright) McFarland, both of whom were early
settlers of Greenfield township, Fairfield county, casting
in their lot with the pioneers here. Unto Thomas J.
McFarland and his wife have been born two children.
The elder is Eugene, a resident of Greenfield
township, who married Miss Julia O'Connor and they
have three children - Margaret A., Mary and
Frances B. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
McFarland is Mary, the wife of Burns Schryver,
of Circleville, Ohio. Mr. McFarland was called
to his final rest and his remains were interred in Forest
Rose Cemetery of Lancaster. He was devoted to his wife
and children and also had many warm friends throughout the
community.
Mr. Pool was a Democrat in his political views
and he and his wife were active, zealous and earnest members
of the Methodist Episcopal children of Lancaster. He
started out in life a poor boy, but accumulated a handsome
competence during the years of an active and honorable
business career. He possessed many sterling traits of
character and wherever known was esteemed for his genuine
worth. He died June 26, 1898, and was buried in Forest
Rose cemetery. His wife, who was born in 1820, still
survives him and is yet an active old lady of eighty-two
years. The family is one that is widely and favorably
known in Fairfield county, having long been residents within
its borders.
