Marion F. Sandy |
MARION F. SANDY,
of Groveport, Madison township, was born in that village on the 29th day of
September, 1857. His lather, Albert Sandy, was a cooper when that
trade was a leading one in all the wheat growing and salt producing regions,
especially along the canals and other waterways and in the vicinity of the mills
and salt works, and at the
points where hogs were slaughtered, cured and packed for transportation to the
markets. In its time, and before present methods came into vogue it was a
lucrative trade
and furnished opportunities for securing a comfortable living and an eventual
competence to thousands of independent proprietors in all parts of the great
state of Ohio.
His mother was Miss Mary Mansfield
before marriage. There was one son and two daughters born to Mr. and
Mrs. Albert Sandy, one of the latter being deceased.
He was educated in the schools of Groveport. After
attaining manhood's estate and fitting himself for it, he became a contractor
and builder, which he followed successfully, and in which he is still engaged.
He occasionally, executes contracts for the county.
In all his dealings and transactions with private
individuals, and the public he has sought to give fair equivalent for what he
receives believing in that principle rather than in the greedy maxim:
"Take care of the first and also of the second."
Mr. Sandy is unmarried. He is a Democrat
from the strongest and sincerest conviction, and a member of the Order of Odd
Fellows, and has been for five years the financial secretary of Gordon Lodge, I.
O. O. F.
The Sandy Family is well known and widely
esteemed through the lower part of Franklin county and across the Fairfield
border, and the subject of this sketch is no=less highly and generally esteemed
by all who know him.

ROBERT A. SHAW, former Mayor and
now a resident of Groveport, was born in the city of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, in 1845.
His father was John Shaw, an extensive woolen manufacturer, who married
Miss Charlotte Potter, and to whom were born eight children, four sons
and four daughters, of whom five ate living at this time.
He attended the common schools of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, and
without waiting for the completion of his education, enlisted in the One Hundred
and Forty-second Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and served for five months.
After being mustered cut of the military service he came to Groveport, in this
county, and for thirteen years was engaged as traveling salesman. In 1878
he was elected Mayor of Groveport, and as the most convincing evidence of high
esteem by which he is held by his citizens, it is only necessary to say that he
has held that office ever since. No higher testimonial could be paid to
the personal and official character of any man. He is a consistent
Republican.
He was married in 1874 to Miss Hannah Decker,
and two sons came to brighten the household, both of whom are living. One
of the sons, R. L. Shaw, has been a clerk in the office of the Adjutant
General of Ohio since the inauguration of Governor Nash.
Mr. Shaw is also an extensive land owner in
Madison township, being the proprietor of a farm of 125 acres of splendid and
well situated land, on which he breeds the finest speciments of Jersey cattle.
The people of Groveport and Madison township have only
sentiments of the highest esteem and regard for Mr. Shaw because of his
many and amiable traits of character.

JOHN
WILLIAM SHOOK, M.D Mr. John William Shook was born
near Lancaster, Fairfield county, in 1853, son of John A. Shook, both of
whom are deceased, the latter dying in 1859, the former in 1868, at the age of
40 years. There were two others in the family - James P. and
Elizabeth B. Shook, both of whom are living.
The subject of this sketch was educated in the district
schools of Fairfield county, Ohio, and to prepare himself for his professional
career entered the Columbus Medical College, from which institution he was
graduated in the spring of 1885, being one of three of the class entitled to
honorable mention. Dr. Shook is both a skilled physician and most
capable surgeon, but the ethics of hte profession prevent us from even
mentioning the success that has attended his professional career. Suffice
it to say he commands the confidence and esteem of the entire public and the
personal gratitude of scores.
Dr. Shook was married to Miss Laura F.
Hutchinson, a native of Perry county, Ohio, who has borne him four children,
viz.: Kate M., Hazel I., James E. and Helen E., the two
latter being twins, James dying at the age of two years.
Dr. Shook is a member of the Republican party, a
very active member and promoter of the Knights of Pythias and an all-around
popular citizen.
Special mention should be made here of John A. Shook,
the father of Dr. Shook, who was one of the best known and most estimable
of Fairfield county's citizens. He was a man of enterprise, spirit and
progressive character and one of the first white settlers of Butler county,
Kansas, where he broke the virgin soil and established a primitive home.
But on account of the decease of his wife the first summer after settlement, a
most lovable and highly esteemed lady, he returned to Fairfield county, and
there remained up to the time of his own demise, an event that was deeply
deplored by the entire community.
