CHARLES E. REESE, M. D.
The state of Ohio, with its pulsing industrial activities
and rapid development, has attracted within its confines men
of marked ability and high character in the various
professional lines, and in this way progress has been
conserved and social stability fostered. He whose name
initiates this review has gained recognition as one of the
able and successful physicians of the state, and by his
labors, his high professional attainments and his sterling
characteristics has justified the respect and confidence in
which he is held by the medical fraternity and the local
public.
Dr. Charles E. Reese was born in Hocking
township, Fairfield county, upon his father's farm, Oct. 14,
1857, and represents an old family of Pennsylvania.
His paternal grandfather, Maurice Reese, was born in
Washington county, of the Keystone state, and about 1799
removed to Fairfield county, settling in the midst of the
forest west of Lancaster. He married Miss Hannah
Meek and they became the parents of twelve children,
including Isaac Reese, who was born in Hocking
township, Fairfield county, in 1812. He has one of the
prosperous farmers of the neighborhood, successfully
carrying on agricultural pursuits in his native township for
many years. He married Miss Susan Guitner, who
was born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, in 1822, and when
eight years of age removed with her parents, John and
Gertrude Guitner, to Fairfield county, the family
settling in Berne township, where the father and mother
spent their remaining days. Mr. and Mrs. Reese
reared a family of several children, namely: George W.
and Isaac N., both the whom followed farming;
Charles E., of this review; Francis M., who is a
farmer; Almeda M., the wife of Daniel Murphy,
of Lancaster; Jennie, the wife of Frank Smith,
an agriculturist; and Fannie M., who wedded Samuel
Childs, of Rushville, Ohio. Year after year the
father devoted his energies to agricultural pursuits and the
well tilled fields yielded to him golden returns for the
care and labor he bestowed upon them. He was a man of
decision of character, fearlessly upholding his honest
convictions and his many sterling traits won for him the
esteem and warm regard of all with whom he came in contact.
His political support was given the Republican party and on
that ticket he was elected to several minor offices.
His death occurred in 1886, and his wife died in 1892.
Both were devoted members of the German Lutheran Church.
Dr. Reese, whose name forms the caption of this
article, spent his youth in the usual manner of farmer lads,
taking his place in the fields at the time of early spring
planting and assisting in the cultivation of the crops until
after the autumn harvest. In the winter months he
attended the district schools and later became a student of
the public schools in Lancaster. Afterward he
continued his education in the private school for three
years and then entered upon the study of medicine, reading
under the direction of Dr. Harman, in Lancaster.
He further continued his studies in the Ohio Medical College
of Cincinnati until he was graduated with the class of 1885.
Dr. Reese then came to Lancaster, where he
opened an office, and steadily he has worked his way upward
in a profession where promotion comes in recognition of
broad learning and superior skills. He has ever kept
in touch with the advanced thought and discoveries of the
day bearing upon his practice and is quick to adopt any new
methods which he believes will assist him in checking the
ravages of disease and restoring health.
In 1877 was celebrated the marriage of Dr. Reese and
Miss Jennie D. Miller, of Lancaster, a daughter of
David R. and Isabella (Gallagher) Miller The
Doctor belongs to Mt. Pleasant Lodge, No. K. of P. For
seven years he was physician for the Boys' Industrial
School. In manner he is a genial and affable
gentleman, and the sunshine in the sick room where anything
depressing has a detrimental influence and all that is
bright and enlivening acts in the opposite way. His
prominence in the profession is the result of earnest labor
and capability, and the public and the medical fraternity
acknowledge his worth as a citizen and as a physician.

Col. Henry B. Reese |
HENRY B. REESE.
For more than thirty years Henry B. Reese was in the
employ of the government in the capacity of paymaster and
over the record of his public career there falls no shadow
of wrong or suspicion of evil. He was most prompt,
reliable and faithful in the discharge of his duties and is
a representative of a high type of American citizenship.
He is now living retired in Lancaster, enjoying a well
merited rest. He was born in this city, Apr. 21, 1832,
and is a representative of a prominent family of Fairfield
county. William J. Reese, his father, was born
in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the 5th of
August, 1804, and pursued his education in Washington, D.
C., where he continued his studies for several years.
In October, 1829, the Rev. John Wright performed the
marriage ceremony which united the destinies of William
J. Reese and Mary E. Sherman, a daughter of
Judge Sherman and throughout the period of their married
life they resided in Lancaster, where Mr. Reese had
located in 1827. In his political views he was a
Republican and was a man of wide influence. He possessed
many sterling traits of character and was held in high
esteem for his genuine worth. A leader of public
thought and opinion his influence was felt in behalf of
progress and improvement. He attained to the advanced
age of eighty years, pass ing away in Lancaster in December,
1883. His wife, surviving him for several years, died
on the 29th of August, 1900, in her eighty-eighth year.
In their family were five children: Henry B., of this
review; Rosanna, who is now Mrs. Hoyt, of New
York city; M. M., the wife of Joseph S. Reber,
of St. Louis, Missouri; Mary H., the wife of M. N.
Granger, of Zanesville, Ohio; and Julia L., of
Chicago.
In the city of Lancaster Henry B. Reese acquired
his early education and supplemented his primary training by
study in the city of Philadelphia. At the end of that
period he went to Mansfield, Ohio, where he entered the law
office of Judge T. W. Bartley as a student, though
his studies were terminated in the office of Charles
and John Sherman. He then returned to Lancaster
and was united in marriage to Ellen Kirk, a
daughter of William Kirk, of Philadelphia.
Taking up his abode in the city of his birth he entered the
employ of the Hocking Valley Bank, but at the outbreak of
the Civil war his patriotic spirit was aroused and he
offered his services to his country and became a member of
the First Ohio Infantry and was elected captain of the
company and soon afterward was appointed by President
Lincoln, major and paymaster for the three months
troops of Ohio. On the expiration of that period he
was appointed paymaster of the army and served in that
capacity continuously from 1861 until July 5, 1888, covering
twenty-seven consecutive years. During that time
millions of dollars passed through his hands and every cent
was faithfully accounted for. He is a man of
unquestioned honesty, whose word was as good as any bond
solemnized by signature or seal. He regards a public
office as a public trust and no trust ever reposed in him
has been betrayed in the slightest degree.
The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Reese was blessed
with five children, but they lost one in infancy. The
others are William H., Hattie E., Mary E. and Helen C.
The family has ever occupied a leading and en viable place
in social circles, where true worth and intelligence are
received as the passports in good society. In his
fraternal relations Mr. Reese is a Knight
Templar and in politics is a pronounced Republican,
unswerving in his fidelity to the party and active in his
efforts to promote its growth and success. He resides
at the old home of his father's on Wheeling street, and is
one of the most respected residents of Lancaster.
Mr. Reese is widely and favorably known
throughout the state, his abilities well fitting him for
leadership in political and social life. The terms
progress and patriotism might be considered the keynote of
his character, for throughout his career he has labored for
the improvement of every line of business or public interest
with which he has been associated, and at all times has been
actuated by a fidelity to his country and her welfare.

MRS. MARY E. REESE.
The life tenure of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Reese covered
a most important period in the history of the country.
She passed the eighty-eighth milestone on life's journey,
and while woman does not figure prominently in public
affairs and therefore lives the quiet life of the home she
nevertheless exerted an influence which had its bearing upon
the nations history. She was the eldest sister of
John and W. T. Sherman, the former one of the most
celebrated statesmen; the other one of the most
distinguished military commanders whose name graces the
annals of America. Through her close connection with
one of the most prominent families of America she kept in
constant touch with public events and the nation's progress,
and her influence, though quietly exerted, was nevertheless
potent in shaping events of far-reaching influence. In
social circles of Lancaster she was long a leader. Her
entire life was here passed with the exception of ten years
spent in Philadelphia.
Her birth occurred in Lancaster on the 21st of April,
1812, her father being Charles R. Sherman. From
the time of her marriage, which occurred when she was seven
teen years of age, she was a leader in society in Lancaster,
known to all of its people and highly esteemed and honored.
Her true womanly qualities, superior culture, learning and
innate refinement, combined with sympathy and tact, early
gained for her a position in Lancaster which was even
strengthened as the years went by, and the impress of her
individuality yet remains upon the cultured life of
Lancaster.
When her brother, General W. T. Sherman,
afterward the hero of many a battle and the loved commander
of a great army, but then broken in spirit and much
distressed on account of cruel and unjust treatment, came to
Lancaster on a furlough, after he had been relieved by
Secretary Cameron on the plea that he was either drunk
or crazy, she was the one to whom he went for sympathy, and
it was her faith in his ability that fortified him and gave
him the encouragement that induced him to return to the
army, where he was destined to rise to high honors and fame.
But Mrs. Reese never forgave Cameron for the
injury to her brother, and at the marriage of her neice to
Don Cameron she declined to be escorted by the
Secretary, notwithstanding he had apologized for the
treatment of the General.
In the old homestead, a part of which, now modernized,
still stands on the hill, between the residences of E. B.
White and Philip Rising, the home in which her
brothers and sisters were reared, Mary Elizabeth Sherman
was married in her seventeenth year to William J. Reese,
a wealthy young lawyer of Philadelphia, who had begun the
practice of his profession in Lancaster. The courtship
which resulted in this marriage furnishes one of the pretty
legends associated with historic Mount Pleasant, a unique
pile of rocks on the northern boundary of the city.
The popular version of the story is that Miss
Sherman, to test the lover's courage and affection,
sprang from the face of the bluff, which rises two hundred
feet and more from the base, and was immediately followed by
Mr. Reese. Alighting on the declivity
many feet below, both were saved from injury, and
immediately she gave her "promise true" to the brave young
fellow. Somewhat short of the romance, the incident,
as related by Mrs. Reese, was as follows: One
afternoon she was induced by some of her school friends to
play truant and the bevy ascended Mount Pleasant, where they
were wandering about when they chanced to encounter a party
of young men, among whom was Mr. Reese, who at
that time was paying marked attention to Miss
Sherman. Not wishing to meet her admirer, she
started on a run to evade them, her foot slipped on the
verge of the precipice and over she went, landing a few feet
below on a ledge of rock, where she lay unconscious.
Young Reese noticed her disappearance and
sprang after her, and by the aid of the others lifted her
back to the plane above, and she was assisted home in a
semiconscious condition. When medical aid was summoned
it was found that the teeth of her old-fashioned tortoise
shell comb had been driven their length under the scalp and
broken off, necessitating the use of a knife for their
removal. The young lady was badly bruised by the fall,
but was otherwise uninjured. A piece of her dress,
which was torn off in her descent, was picked up by her rescurer
and preserved for years as a cherished memento. The
heroine of this little escapade gave her hand in marriage to
her rescurer, developed into a woman of splendid graces of
character which endeared her to all and the ties of respect,
friendship and love strengthened as she approached a
beautiful old age. She reached the age of eighty-eight
years, passing away in 1900. A chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution has been named in her
honor. In Lancaster, where she so long resided, her
memory is still enshrined in the hearts of all who enjoyed
the pleasure of her friendship.

WILLIAM J. REESE.
William J. Reese was a prominent factor in the
history of Lancaster for many years. Here he practiced
law, was connected with merchandising and journalistic
interests, and contributed largely to the general welfare by
his co-operation in many movements for the general good.
He promoted public progress along many lines and his efforts
in behalf of the city made his history an important chapter
in the annals of this section of the state.
William J. Reese was born on the 3rd of August,
1804, in the city of Philadelphia, and there he acquired a
liberal education. Wishing to make the practice of law
his life work, he studied and was eventually admitted to the
bar. The year 1827 witnessed his arrival in Lancaster.
At that time a year's residence was demanded before one
could enter upon active practice here and when the requisite
period had elapsed. Mr. Reese opened an office
and began practice. He was a cultured, refined and
brilliant young attorney, with a mind alert and active,
quick in perception, logical in thought and sound in
reasoning. He had soon demonstrated his ability to
handle the intricate problems of jurisprudence and
successfully cope with the elder and more experienced
members of the bar, and in a short time he had a large and
growing clientage, but his efforts were not confined to one
department of business activity. In 1829 he joined
Samuel F. Maccracken in establishing a dry goods store
in Newark. This store was placed in charge of
Daniel Duncan, who had been one of Mr.
Maccracken's clerks, and to him, in 1832, Mr.
Reese sold his interest in the business. In the
same year he purchased an interest in the Lancaster Gazette,
in partnership with Charles Borland, but when
a year had passed he decided that he did not care for
journalistic work and disposed of his share in the paper to
Colonel P. Van Trump. Merchandising was to him
more congenial and in 1832 he purchased the interest of
Henry Matthews and Joe Buttles in
the dry goods stock of Henry Matthews &
Company, of which firm Thomas Reed was a
member, and the business was then continued under the firm
name of Thomas Reed & Company until March,
1838, when General Reese disposed of his
interest to Messrs. Culbertson and Nye.
On the 13th of November, 1838, David Rokohl
purchased a third interest and the firm then became
Culbertson, Nye & Rokohl. In the
year 1843 General Reese removed to
Philadelphia, where, in connection with John
Heylin, he opened a jobbing house, but after a few years
it was found that the enterprise was unprofitable. His
health also failed him and he returned to Lancaster, where
he lived in retirement until his death.
Mr. Reese was united in marriage to he eldest
daughter of Judge Charles R. Sherman and in the days
of his prosperity he erected one of the finest and most
commodious homes in Lancaster. He was also a prominent
and influential citizen here and his efforts in behalf of
the public good were widely recognized as most beneficial
and acceptable. He was the captain of a fine
military company at one time and was serving as brigadier
general of the Ohio State Militia at the time he removed to
Philadelphia. For several years he was secretary of
the board of fund commission for the state of Ohio and his
official service was characterized by the utmost fidelity.
He was an enthusiastic Mason and the author of the present
ritual. He succeeded Judge Sherman as
master of the Masonic lodge in Lancaster and his prominence
in Masonic circles is indicated by the fact that for eight
years he was the grand master of the grand lodge of Ohio.
A charter member of St. John's Episcopal church, he was
zealous and enthusiastic in its behalf and his influence in
that direction was of no restricted order. He aided in
laying broad and deep the foundation for the present social,
moral, intellectual and material benefit of Lancaster and
well does he deserve to be numbered among its honored
pioneer settlers.

JOHN W. REYNOLDS, one of
the early settlers and highly respected citizens of
Fairfield county, now resides in Hocking township. His
birth occurred in Madison township. His birth occurred
in Madison township near Clearport on the 19th of October,
1835. He is a son of William and Mary Ann (Hedges)
Reynolds, and the family is an old and prominent one in
this portion of the state. His father was born in
Madison township and was a son of Richard Reynolds,
whose birth occurred in the state of Delaware. At a
very early epoch in the history of the state of Ohio,
however, he emigrated westward and took up his abode in this
county. He died in early manhood, when his children
were quite small. William Reynolds the father
of our subject, was a witness of much of the improvement and
development of this portion of the state. He visited
Lancaster before there was a railroad there or even a pike
had been completed in the county. Farming was his
chief occupation through life, and he followed that pursuit
in Fairfield county for a number of years and subsequently
removed to Hocking township, where he made his home until
his death. There he also devoted his energies to the
tilling of the soil, and his labors resulted in securing
large crops. He died in 1863 on the fifty-first
anniversary of his birth. His political support was
given the Whig party in his early life, and on its
dissolution he joined the ranks of the new Republican party,
which he always endorsed by his ballot, but he never sought
political office as a result for public fealty. His
Christian faith was indicated by his membership in the
Methodist church, and he took an active part in its work,
earnestly striving to promote the cause of the denomination.
His wife was born in Fairfield county and was a daughter of
Caleb and Elizabeth Hedges. Her father was one of
the old and honored settlers in Fairfield county, and lived
and died upon the family homestead. Mrs. Mary Ann
Reynolds still survives her husband, and is now residing
with one of her sons in Delaware county, Ohio, at the age of
eighty-seven years. She has long been a devout member
of the Methodist church and is beloved by all who know here
for her many excellent qualities of heart and mind. By
her marriage she became the mother of twelve children, six
of whom are yet living.
John W. Reynolds, the eldest of the family,
remained in the place of his nativity until about thirteen
years of age, when he accompanied his parents on their
removal to Hocking county, remaining with them until he had
attained the age of twenty-two. Three years later he
was married, and he was twenty-eight years of age when, in
response to the country's call for aid to suppress the
rebellion, he enlisted May 4, 1864, in Company I, One
Hundred Fifty-first Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in which he
served until Aug. 28, 1864. He was then discharged at
Camp Chase, Columbus, and was appointed provost marshal,
filling that position until the close of the war. When
hostilities had ceased he was relieved from his position
through act of Congress just after the surrender of
General Lee. During the greater part of his
services with the army he was in Washington, being there
stationed at the time Early made his raid into the north.
At one time he went to arrest a party of deserters.
They resisted, and in the fight which followed Mr.
Reynolds had his shoulder dislocated, the bones of his
right wrist broken and his skull mashed. The attending
physician said he might live a month, but not longer.
Owing to his wonderful constitution he rapidly recovered,
but to this day he suffers from the effects of the fight.
Prior to his enlistment in the regular army, Mr. Reynolds
was a member of the State Militia and after the outbreak of
war he was appointed enrolling officers, but just as the
appointment came he enlisted and never served, but held the
office just the same, as another man served in his place
while he was acting as marshal. After his final
discharge he returned to Fairfield county and has since been
identified with its agricultural interests. Some time
after he also erected the ill which he has since conducted.
It is a water power mill, operated by the head waters of the
Hocking river, the supply coming from springs in its
immediate vicinity. Mr. Reynolds is well known in
connection with agricultural and intellectual interests, and
in business circles. He sustains an unassailable
reputation, for his actions have ever been guided by the
strictest business ethics. Before and after the war
Mr. Reynolds traveled all over Ohio, engaged in
installing mill machinery and repairing steam engines, as he
is one of the most skilled mechanics in the state, but in
recent years, owing to his poor eyesight, he has remained at
home.
In 1859 Mr. Reynolds led to the marriage altar
Miss Maria E. Baird, who was born in Hocking County,
Ohio, and died about twenty-six years ago. She was the
mother of nine children, all daughters: Sarah E.
became the wife of Salem B. Pierce, a farmer of
Ringgold, Ohio, by whom she has three children, Burley,
Ray and Dorcas. Mary Dorcas died at
the age of thirteen years. Elizabeth is the
wife of Richard Hayden, of Richwood, Union county,
Ohio, where he is following farming. They also have
three children, William, Pearl and Richard.
Catherine is the wife of Peter Moyer, a resident
farmer of Marion county, Ohio, and unto them have been born
three children: Bessie, Floyd and Zelda.
Electa is at home. Zelda is living in
Columbus. Minnie is the wife of James Love.
Cora married Jasper Creighton, of Lancaster.
Alice is the wife of Samuel Pugh, of South
Perry, Hocking county, Ohio. One child of this family
died in infancy.
After the death of his first wife Mr. Reynolds
was again married, his second wife being Miss Nancy
Windland, who was born in Monroe county, Ohio, and
passed away about thirteen years ago. She was devoted
and faithful member of the Christian church and her loss was
mourned not only by her immediate family but by many
friends. Thomas is a blacksmith, engaged in
business in Lancaster, Ohio. He married Meda Howard
and has one child. Elmer, whose home is in
Buena Vista, Hocking county, is married and has one child.
George Elwood, a twin of Elmer, is at home. He
was a soldier in the Spanish-American war, being a member of
Company I, Fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Miriam
Vaughan, Marietta and Frank are still under the
parental roof, and an infant died unnamed.
Mr. Reynolds has figured in public affairs,
having served as constable of Hocking township for some
years. He votes with the Republican party and keeps
well informed on the issues of the day, so that he is
enabled to support his position by intelligent argument.
He was formerly a member of the Methodist church, but is now
unidentified with any religious denomination. In
matters of citizenship he is always loyal to what he
believes is upright and hesitates not in his support of any
measure which he thinks will promote the weal of county,
state or nation. Wherever known he is highly commended
and respected for his genuine worth. He is a man of
pleasing disposition, courteous deportment and genial
temperament and his circle of friends is almost co-extensive
with his circle of acquaintances.

CLARENCE M. ROWLEE. The efforts of Clarence M. Rowlee in the field
of business activity have been of such a character as to
promote the prosperity of the entire community. He is now
the field superintendent of the Columbus (Ohio) Natural Gas
& Fuel Company, with headquarters at Lancaster and for a
number of years has been actively associated with the work
of developing the gas regions of this portion of the slate.
He was born in Potter county, Pennsylvania, and pursued his
educational in the schools there. His parents. William
and Mary (Bovier) Rowlee, were both natives of New York,
but for many years resided in the Keystone state, where the
father carried on agricultural pursuits.
Upon the home farm our subject was reared and early
became familiar with the duties and labors of the fields.
Later, however, he became connected with the oil fields of
Pennsylvania, where for a time he was employed in the
capacity of a clerk and afterward engaged in prospecting and
operating. In 1885 he left the oil fields of Bradford,
McKean county, Pennsylvania, disposing of his interests
there and came to Ohio, where he inspected the gas fields in
and around Lima and for two years he worked there. Later he
entered the employ of the Peoria, Decatur & Eastern
Railroad, with headquarters at Mattoon, Illinois. After two
years spent in this occupation he came to the vicinity of
Lancaster and a short time afterward entered the employ of
the Columbus (Ohio) Natural Gas Company, of which he was
made the field superintendent. He was among the first to
drill a well, which was sunk to the depth of two thousand
feet and afterward to twenty-four hundred. This work was
accomplished in 1889 and he, as a member, met with a fair
degree of success. Not only the stockholders of the company
but also outside parties became convinced that the gas belt
of this portion of the state had been discovered. Improved
machinery was purchased, pipe lines established and a
reducing station built, Mr. Rowlee having
supervision of all the departments of the operative work.
His good judgment, coupled with long experience, has made
him an efficient superintendent, who capably directs the
work of fifty or sixty employes in the company's service. He
now occupies a pleasant office in the new Marten block of
Lancaster and from that place directs all business. Under
his capable management the enterprise has proven a
profitable one and is doubtless in the beginning of its
usefulness. In 1890 Mr. Rowlee was united in marriage
to Mrs. Julia Boyer, of Columbus, Ohio, who by
her former husband, George Boyer, had a
daughter, Helen. Mr. Rowlee is a
prominent Mason and has passed beyond the degrees of
Lancaster Lodge, No. :87, F. & A. M., becoming a member of
the chapter and the commandery of this place. He is also
identified with Mount Pleasant Lodge, No. 48, K. of P.;
Chickasaw Tribe, No. 100, I. O. R. M., of Thurston; the
Unity Senate, No. 25, of the Ancient Essenic Order, of
Lancaster, and the K. O. T. M., No. 57, of Lancaster. Mr.
Rowlee is a typical American citizen, enterprising,
progressive and alert. He is constantly on the outlook for
broader business opportunities and his capability has
already secured to him a responsible position in the world
of industrial activity.
