	LOVETT TAFT SCOFIELD, who has made continuous advancement since starting in business life as a clerk in a country store, is now president of the Andrus-Schofield Company, dealers in teas, coffees and spices.  He was born in Reynoldsburg, Franklin county, Ohio, Aug. 10, 1858.  His father, Frederick A. Schofield, was a native of the state of New York and in his boyhood days became a resident of Reynoldsburg, where in later years he followed merchandising, continuing in active connection with the trade interests of that place until 1868.  He then removed to Westerville, Franklin county, where he again engaged in merchandising.  He was widely and favorably known throughout the county and in Columbus, and was a successful business man whose enterprise and firm determination constituted the secret of his business progress.  He was a splendid example of the self-made man of the old school, modest and retiring in disposition, yet possessing that force of character which enabled him to win success along the lines of legitimate trade.  He died Nov. 21, 1906, having for about eighteen years survived his wife, who passed away in 1888.  She bore the maiden name of Martha E. Davis, and was a native of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania.      Lovett T. Schofield pursued his education in the public schools of Reynoldsburg, Kirkersville, and Licking county, Ohio.  He left the high school at the age of eighteen years to become his father's assistant in the country store at Kirkersville and at Westerville.  Some time later he was admitted to a partnership in his father's business, and the relations between them continued for fifteen years.  In 1881 Mr. Schofield came to Columbus and purchased an interest in the tea, coffee and spice business owned by W. F. Andrus, and the firm became a partnership arrangement under the style of the Andrus, Scofield & Company.  On the 1st of January, 1905, the business was incorporated as the Andrus-Scofield Company, Mr. Andrus remaining the president until the 1st of June, 1908, when Mr. Scofield purchased his interest in the business of which he is now practically the sole proprietor.  In disposing of his product he handles it through salesmen and jobbers and does an extensive business, represented by a large annual figure.  He specializes in teas, coffees and spices, yet also handles other commodities and manufactures flavoring extracts, bluing, ammonia, et cetera.  The trade has constantly grown and the business is one of considerable importance as an element in the commercial activity of Columbus.  Mr. Schofield is also president of the Federal Manufacturing Company and a director of the North American Lead Company of this city.      In 1892 occurred the marriage of Mr. Schofield and Miss Minnie H. Huffman, of Carey, Ohio.  e votes with the republican party and, as every true American citizen should do, keeps well informed on the questions and issues of the day, but the honors and emoluments of office have had no attraction for him.  He belongs to the Ohio and Columbus Country Clubs, and in Masonry has attained the Knight Templar degree.  He is also connected with the Elks lodge, and the Knights of Pythias.  He is known locally as a pedestrian and in this exercise finds much of the rest and recreation so necessary as a preparation for the onerous duties of a business career that makes close demands upon his time and energy.  The secret of his success is largely due to  his concentration, combined with clear insight into complex business situations.

	DR. R. ZENAS SEEDS was born in Jackson township, Franklin county, Ohio, January 12, 1845.  His parents were Dr. John Seeds and Asenath Seeds (Britton), both of whom were born in the United States, the former in Ohio and the latter in Virginia.  When but four hears of age his father died, leaving his mother with a family of seven children, himself the youngest.   His early life was one of privation and hardship.  Until he arrived at the age of fourteen, his education was obtained at the district school, three miles distant, and was consequently very limited.  He spent the winters, from his fourteenth to his eighteenth year, at the Union schools of Mechanicsburg, Champaign county, working on the farm of his uncle, Lewis Britton, during the summer months.  He then went to Antioch college, Green county, Ohio, where he finished his literary education in the fall of 1867.  His early hopes and aspirations were to be a physician, and when a boy he was always, in mimicry, making "pills and powders."  During his college course he had paid particular attention to those branches of study most nearly connected with the science of medicine, and now resolved to adopt that as his profession.      He attended his first course of lectures at Starling Medical college, Columbus, in the winter of 1868-69, and graduated second in a class of seventy-two members, in the winter of 1869-70.  He then returned to his adopted home in Hilliard, and to his uncle, James S. Britton, who had always been his best friend in his attempts to obtain an education and prepare himself for his life work, both pecuniarily and by his sound advice.      He was married to Electa Davis, eldest daughter of Asa Davis, esq., and grand-daughter of Samuel Davis, one of Franklin county's first settlers, who was a comrade of ex-governor McArthur, and several times a prisoner of the Indians.  Asa Davis when but a boy was in the war of 1812, with "Mad Anthony Wayne," in some of his marches against the hostile savages.      Dr. Seeds was in the war of the Rebellion, although but nineteen years of age.  He and an older brother with the General Sherman until after the capture of Kenesaw mountain.  His brother, Dr. S. M. Seeds, remained with the army as assistant surgeon of the Thirteenth Ohio volunteer infantry, until the close of the war.  In the spring of 1870 Dr. R. Z. Seeds commenced the practice of medicine at his present home, in Hilliard, where he has built up a practice and a character that any person might well be proud of.  (Source: * Centennial History of Columbus, and Franklin Co., Ohio by William Alexander Taylor - Vol. II - 1909 - Page 54
