BENJAMIN F. CRONINGER
- Five miles north of the city of Wauseon, in Dover
township, is located the pleasant homestead farm of Mr.
Croninger, who is one of the well-known and popular
citizens of this section. He was born Jan. 16, 1868,
and is a son of David and Lydia (Esterline) Croninger,
the former of whom was born in Stark county, Ohio, and here
the mother died in 1882, and her widowed husband now
maintains his home in Stryker, Williams county. They
became the parents of nine children, all of whom are
residents of Ohio, their names, in order of birth, being as
follows: Amos, Margaret, Elzina, Francis, Mary E.,
Malinda, Elizabeth, Julia, Benjamin F., and James.
Benjamin F. Croninger secured his early education in the
public schools of Fulton county, and he has been identified
with agricultural pursuits from his youth to the present.
In 1902 he purchased his present farm, which comprises forty
acres and which he is making one of the fine places of Dover
township, being animated with a spirit of progress and
having indomitable energy. He has won success through
his own efforts , and his advancement is therefore the more
pleasing to contemplate. He is a Republican in
politics, and he has been incumbent of the office of road
supervisor since 1902, while he served one year as a
member of the school board. He and his wife are
members of the Christian church. In 1888, Mr.
Crominger was married to Miss Eliza First, who
was born and reared in Fulton county, being a daughter of
Shuman and Ellen First, who were
born in Wayne county, and whose marriage was solemnized in
Fulton county, in 1866. They now reside on their home
farm, near Ottokee, this county. Mr. and Mrs.
Crominger have these children, all of whom are at home:
Alonzo, Hazel, Ada, Mildred and Wilma.
