SIMON
MARION WAGONER. While John Wagoner,
who planted the family tree in the United States, was
born in Alsace-Lorraine, Simon Marion
Wagoner of Swan Creek is in the third generation of the
family in Ohio. His parents, John & Catharine
(Kessler) Wagoner, are natives of Seneca County. The
grandfather, John Wagoner, of Perry
County, was a son of the immigrant, John Wagoner.
John Wagoner, Sr, came to the United States
when he was 15 years of age. When John Wagoner
came to America he was accompanied by his older brother,
who wanted to enlist in the Army, but on account of the
age of the younger brother the young man had difficulty
in enlisting, & finally both were made
soldiers. The brother was killed at the Battle of the
Cow Pens, & at Yorktown John Wagoner was
within 15 feet of General Washington when
General Cornwallis surrendered to him. The
maternal grandparents of S. M. Wagoner, John
Kessler & his wife, came from Germany & they were
early settlers in Sandusky County. The paternal
grandfather, John Wagoner, Jr., was
a soldier in the War of 1812, & he was at Detroit when
Hull surrendered. After his marriage John
Wagoner, Jr., purchased an 80 acre farm from his
father in Sandusky County, but in 1852 he sold it to a
brother & he then located in Swan Creek Twp, Fulton
County. He entered 40 acres & bought 40 acres
across the line in Henry County. It was all wild land &
he cleared & improved it. He died in 1907, at the age of
86 years. His wife had been dead 40 years. Simon
M. Wagoner was the oldest child born in the family
of John Wagoner, and the others are:
Mahla, who is deceased, married Frank
Werich; Mary, wife of Charles
Stevens, of Liberty Center, Ohio; Jacob, of
Swan Creek; Thomas J., of Swan Creek; Sarah,
wife of Michael McGee, of Sandusky County;
Emma, wife of James Gabriel, of
Ashtabula County; & George, who died in
childhood; & John, deceased. While the
Wagoner family history begins in the
Revolutionary War & cropped out again in the second War
with England, S. M. Wagoner sustained the
reputation of the family in the Civil War, enlisting
February 04 1864, in Company 9, Ohio Volunteer Infantry,
S S, under Captain W. L. Sterns, & he was
mustered in on the 18th of March. He was a private to be
armed with a Spencer rifle, but bartered the position
for a Majors commissioning the 60th Ohio Volunteer
Infantry, much against the wishes of his Company.
Major Wagoner was in many of the hard
fought battles of the Civil War, including the Battle of
the Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court House, Nye River,
North Ann River, Salem Court House, Cold Harbor,
Petersburg, where he was stationed at the time of a mine
explosion, & he was at Weldon Railroad. At Cold Harbor
Major Wagoner was shot in the right arm, & he was sent
to an Army Hospital at Washington City. Later he was in
the following battles: Yellow Farm, Ream Station, Poplar
Grove, Pegram Farm, Squirrel Level Road, Hatches Run,
Notaway River & Fort Steadman. On July 28 1865, Major
Wagoner received his discharge. When Mr.
Wagoner was again a private citizen he cleared a
40 acre tract he had purchase from his father. He built
a house & barn & made other necessary improvements
there, later buying another 40 acre timber tract, which
he also converted into farmland, & he was always active
in farm work until 1913, when he rented his land,
although he lived in retirement at the old homestead
where he began his activities at the close of the Civil
War. In September 1866, Mr. Wagoner
married Catharine Smith. She was born
September 06 1843, in Seneca County. She is a daughter
of Abraham & Rebekah (Berkstresser) Smith. They
were natives of York State, but they came early to Ohio.
The children born to Mr. & Mrs. Wagoner are:
Charles & William, of Toledo; Alpha, wife
of Ralph Earhart, of Huntington, Indiana;
Estella, wife of Charles Hoyt, of
Toledo; & 1 child, Rebekah, who died in infancy.
Mr. Wagoner has been an active man in
community affairs. While he had but meager educational
advantages, knowing only the Log School Houses of the
day, he has served Swan Creek Twp as Justice of the
Peace, & he has served as an Elder in the Christian
Union Church. In politics Mr. Wagoner is a
Democrat. He is a member of Hendricks Post, Grand Army
of the Republic, at Colton, Ohio. For 30 years he served
the Post as Quartermaster. There is perhaps no
family represented in the citizenship of Fulton County
more completely imbued with American patriotism that
that of Simon M. Wagoner. He & his descendants
are eligible to membership in the Sons & Daughters of
the American Revolution & he himself has earned the
lasting esteem of his nation for the part he played in
preserving the Union. Mr. Wagoner was born in
Sandusky, Ohio, August 27 1842, was a young man when he
entered the Army, & during the half century since the
War he served equally well in civil responsibilities by
clearing & developing one of the good farms in Fulton
County.

THOMAS
JEFFERSON WAGGONER The honored name he bears
would suggest that Thomas Jefferson
Waggoner of Swan Creek Twp is affiliated with the
Democratic Party. Mr. Waggoner was born in
Washington Twp, Henry County, February 02 1858, & he is
a son of John B. & Catharine (Kessler) Waggoner.
In early life he attended the District School , but hard
work has always been part of his life history. On
November 03 1879, Mr. Waggoner married Mary
Alice Null, who is a daughter of George
and Christina (Arnold) Null.
For 2 years after his marriage he resided with his
parents, then he bought 40 acres of land, with 15 acres
partly cleared, & he at once cleared all of it but 5
acres retained for pasture. The rest of the land is
under cultivation. All necessary farm buildings have
been added, & later his father gave him another tract of
40 acres. Later he bought 39 acres only a short distance
from it, & withal he has one of the good farms in Swan
Creek Twp. On each tract there is a small amount of
timber, & timber always adds to the value of farm
land when the beauty is taken into consideration.
The children in the Waggoner family are:
Nettie, the wife of Louis Hoffman,
of Swan Creek; Myrtle Belle, wife of John
Sweeney; James, who farms the home place;
Alice, wife of Allen Worden, of
Toledo; George, of Henry County; Jesse, of
Minneapolis; Ethel, wife of Charles Detwiler,
of Toledo; Pearl, wife of Floyd Baker,
of Swan Creek; Harry, of Toledo; & LeRoy,
of Toledo, who served in the Light Artillery in France
in the World War (WW I). It will be noted that
Mr. Waggoner had a son in the World War. That
is an additional service to one of the most patriotic
families found in Fulton County. Mr.
Waggoners own father was a Civil War soldier, & his
first American ancestor bore arms for the independence
of this country in the War of the Rebellion. While the
family has done its part in the various wars of the
nation, their sustained service has been equally notable
in making homes & clearing lands in the middle west, &
the farm & home of Mr. Waggoner in Swan
Creek Twp is an impressive evidence of the substantial
character and industry of its owner.

NEWTON HOMER
WARD
was for a number of years associated in the
furniture business at Fayette with L. J. Pike, a
veteran business man of the community, and since Mr. Pike's
death the establishment has been carried on with progressive
enlargement of its facilities and service by Mr. Ward.
Mr. Ward was born at Holbrook, Canada, Apr. 3,
1874, son of Samuel and Sarah Matilda (Freland) Ward.
His father was a shoemaker, and after leaving Canada
followed his trade at several points in Michigan until 1886,
when he located at Fayette, Ohio. For nearly thirty
years he continued his trade and business here, but since
1915 has been retired and makes his home with his children.
His wife died in February, 1908. Newton H. is
the youngest of the children, the others being noted as
follows: Chauncey A., of Fostoria, Ohio;
Della, Mrs. George Newberry, of Croswell, Michigan;
Olive, Mrs. J. E. Dodge, of Omaha, Nebraska, and Eva,
Mrs. Carl L. Ely, who died at Clayton, Michigan, in
August, 1899.
Newton Homer Ward was about twelve years of age
when his father came to Fayette. Already he had begun
contributing to his own support by selling newspapers.
While he attended the high school and the Fayette Normal
University, he was dependent upon his own exertions for his
living and his education. At the age of nineteen he
began learning the cabinet maker's trade in the Barnes
Furniture Factory at Adrian, Michigan, but subsequently
returned to Fayette and worked as a cabinet maker and clerk
in the furniture business of L. J. Pike. That
relationship continued for several years and in 1904.
Mr. Ward was taken in as an equal partner with Mr.
Pike, and the business was profitably and harmoniously
managed between them until the death of Mr. Pike in
May, 1910, Mr. Ward soon afterward becoming sole
proprietor. He is a licensed embalmer in Michigan and
Ohio, and has served as registrar of deaths in the State of
Michigan. He has a store completely stocked with all
the lines of furniture demanded by the local trade, and also
has a picture and picture framing department.

ISAAC V. WILLIAMS,
who died Aug. 4, 1919, had spent nearly half a century in
the Delta community of Fulton county. His capable
wife, Mrs. Williams, is still living at Delta where
for many years she has conducted the leading millinery
establishment.
The late Mr. Williams was born at Reedtown,
Seneca county, Ohio, Sept. 3, 1840, son of James and
Vanluah (Whitten) Williams, the former a native of
Richland and the latter of Coshocton county. They
spent their married lives in Seneca county as farmers, and
James Williams was also a minister of the Protestant
Methodist Church.
Isaac V. Williams in April, 1864, enlisted in
Company G of the One Hundred and Sixty-fourth Ohio Volunteer
Infantry. There were four brothers in the war, in
three different regiments. Isaac Williams
was sent first to Johnson's Island and then did garrison
duty in Washington, District of Columbia. In about a
hundred days he was discharged for physical defect and
returned to Seneca county.
Mr. Williams came to Delta Apr. 6, 1869, and
followed his trade as a carpenter and also clerked in a
hardware store. For several years he was a hardware
and dry goods salesman and also lived in South Dakota to
benefit his health. While in the northwest he clerked
in a bank and in a merchandise establishment for summers,
always returning to Delta for the winter.
May 12, 1863, Mr. Williams married Sarah
Elizabeth Smith, of Norwalk. She is a daughter of
Lemuel and Mary (Rogers) Smith, both of whom were
born in Wayne county, Ohio. Her grandparents were
Elisha and Sarah (Ames) Smith and Joel and Elizabeth
(Eles) Rogers. Both families acquired government
land in Ohio in early days. The story is told by her
great-grandfather, Elisha Ames illustrating his
remarkable vigor, how when he was ninety-two years of age he
drove with a horse and buggy from Syracuse, New York, to
Norwalk, Ohio, and returned the same way, showing no ill
effects from the experience. Mrs. Williams'
father, Lemuel Smith, enlisted in the Union Army but
died Feb. 7, 1861, on the day he was to leave with his
regiment, the Fifty-fifth Ohio Infantry.
While a young woman Mrs. Williams learned
the millinery trade in Cleveland, and the week after her
arrival she opened a millinery shop in Delta. She owns
a two-story business room, the oldest and best patronized
establishment in the town. Mr. and Mrs.
Williams had a foster daughter, Lulu Clancy, whom
they reared as their own child, and she is the wife of
William Nachtriebs, of Elkhart, Indiana. Their
son, George Nachtriebs, is in Detroit. Mr.
Williams filled various offices in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, being chorister and in charge of the
musical service for thirty-five years. He also filled
the chairs of the Masonic Lodge, and was a member and for
many years chaplain of McQuillin Post of the Grand
Army of the Republic.

JOHN T. WILLIAMS,
who for almost twenty years has been one of the responsible
residents of Delta, Fulton county, Ohio, having since 1901
lived in comfortable circumstances in the town, is
characteristically a man of abundant energy, and during his
long period of agricultural labors has lived in many states.
Although now nearing octogenarian age, and independently
placed financially he still is comparatively active, day by
day, to which commendable trait he may probably attribute
his continuance in good health.
He was born in December, 1843, in Rushville, Indiana,
the son of George and Rebecca Williams. The
Williams family is originally Welsh, in which
principality its family record goes back clearly to the time
of the Roman occupation of Britain. The branch to
which John T. Williams of Delta, Ohio, belongs
appears to have been well established in Virginia in
colonial times, and in that state George Williams,
father of John T. was born. George Williams
and his wife were, however, early settlers in Indiana, where
he followed the occupation of most pioneers. In 1857
the family moved to Edgar county, Illinois, and there
George Williams died. Their son John T.,
who was thirteen years old when they removed from Indiana,
had grown to manhood before the time of his father's death,
soon after which sad bereavement of the family moved to Otoe
county, Nebraska, where John T. homesteaded eighty
acres of prairie land, which during the succeeding yeas he
appreciably improved. His mother died in Lincoln,
Nebraska, but he continued to live on his homestead.
In 1875 he went to Washington territory, where for about a
year he lived a hardy lilfe, herding sheep. He was a
man of self-reliant, independent spirit, inured to
hardships, and, withal, a good farmer. In 1876 he went
to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the centennial
celebrations, after viewing which he returned to Nebraska,
and took over the management of 380 acres of land near
Lincoln of that state. Three years later he went into
Kansas where he herded sheep near Lacon, and for one year
worked as a section hand on the railroad. Next he
spent two years farming near Marysville, Kansas, after which
he came to Ohio. That was in 1881 since which time he
has lived in the state, and for the greater part of the time
has followed agricultural pursuits. For many years he
had the management of a good farming property situated at
Napoleon, Henry county, and belonging to Dexter Woods of
that place, and after the death of the latter he readily
found employment on the John Lutton farm south of
Delta. He lived a steady life, was provident, and
during the many years of steady work accumulated a
competence, so that in 1901, when he came to live in Delta
and purchased a fine residence situated in a plot of three
acres, he to all intents and purposes retired from strenuous
labors, although as a matter of fact he has since that time
found himself undertaking even arduous tasks upon his
property and in helping neighbors. Having always lived
an active life he found retirement irksome, and as the years
have passed he has generally been able to find a way of
keeping himself sufficiently employed, and generally those
tasks have been useful and practical.
Politically Mr. Williams is a democrat, although
he has not interested himself actively in political
movements. He has taken a closer interest in local
affairs than in national, but has never been much drawn by
politics. In voting for local offices he has generally
considered the individual more than he has the party.
Fraternally he is a member of the Knights of Pythias order,
and religiously he is a Methodist, member of the local
Methodist Episcopal Church.
In 1894 he married Rachel Quick, who was born
near Wooster, Ohio. They have one child, a daughter,
Cora, who married Archie Miller, but latterly
has lived with her parents.

WILLIAM WALLACE
WILLIAMS, who during his active life,
which ended Mar. 29, 1890, was one of the most prominent
citizens of Delta, Fulton county, Ohio, a former mayor and
leading attorney of that place, and who also had to his
credit personal service in a military capacity during the
Civil war, the period during which the manhood of the nation
was tested to the uttermost.
He was born in Michigan Feb. 3, 1833, while his
parents, David and Phoebe Williams were on a visit in
Michigan, to a brother of Mrs. Williams. William W.,
however, was early thrown upon his own resources, his
parents dying when he was still comparatively young.
He went to live with Doctor Taylor in Wauseon, Ohio,
attending the public schools of that city. What he did
in his early manhood does not appear in data before the
present biographer, excepting that during the Civil war he
was in the military forces of the Union, enlisting in
Company I of the Thirty-eighth Regiment of Ohio Volunteer
Infantry, and eventually receiving honorable discharge from
the national forces. In 1867, being then thirty-four
years old, he married, soon after which important event in
his history he began to study law, resolving to qualify for
admittance to the legal profession. Eventually he was
admitted, and for many years thereafter was one of the most
prominent lawyers of the Delta section of Fulton county.
He resided in that place, his law practice centering there,
and in that city he was greatly esteemed. He was a man
of commendable public spirit, a convincing public speaker,
and he took a helpful part in the civic affairs of Delta.
He was popular in that part of Fulton county, and held the
confidence of the people of Delta; so much that they elected
him mayor of the town. He was fifty-seven years old in
the year of his death, 1890, and his life, although not of
very long duration, was yet filled with consequential
achievements, not the least of which was his strength of
purpose in making his own way after the death of his
parents.
He was a good Christian, member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church of Delta, and a steady supporter thereof.
Politically he was a republican, and was a factor of some
consequence to that party in his home district. He
took a leading part in political movements in his own
district; in fact he was active and useful in almost all
phases of the public affairs of Delta. As a veteran of
the Civil war he belonged to the local post of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
His wife has lived a widowhood of thirty years, and
fifty-three years have passed since she, Jane
Casler, was married to William Wallace
Williams. She was born within twenty-five miles of
Toronto, Canada, Jan. 30, 1845, the daughter of Hugh and
Elizabeth (Yake) Casler, who were both Canadians by
birth, although Mrs. Williams is descended in
the maternal line from an old colonial New York family, her
grandparent having been born at Mohawk River, New York
state, the son of John Yake, who came from
Germany to one of the New York settlements. In the
paternal line Mrs. Williams evidently belongs
to a family of British antecedents, long resident in Canada.
She has lived quietly in Delta amid a large circle of good
friends since the death of her husband thirty years ago, and
she owns an artistic bungalow on Front street. The
children born to William Wallace and Jane
(Casler) Williams were: William,
who is a successful and enterprising business man in
Minneapolis, Minnesota; Ila, who married Lewis
Cameron, of Delta; Charles, who died at the age
of twenty-one years, just as he had entered promising
manhood; Harry, now of Detroit, Michigan, is a
veteran of two wars, having served through the
Spanish-American war, rising to the rank of sergeant, and as
a commissioned officer in the World war, 1917-19; Paul,
now of Wauseon, also a former soldier, having for seven
years been in the United States Regular Army; Leland S.,
of Wauseon, who is also a veteran of the Spanish-American
war. The family is thus of military record in the last
three wars in which the nation has engaged, a noteworthy
record of patriotism, seeing that in each case the service
was voluntary. Mrs. Jane (Casler) Williams is a
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in her younger
days took an earnest part in church work, and also in the
social functions of community life of Delta.

EDWARD G WRIGHT.
George &
Ann (Parr) Wright were English immigrants to America. They
were born in Lincolnshire & immigrated in 1867, coming
direct to Fulton County. They settled in Fulton Twp, but
soon moved to Amboy. Their son, Edward G. Wright, of
Amboy, relates the family history. They bought land in
the timber & cleared it & made a farm of it. Mr. Wright
died there in 1912, & at the advanced age of 85 years Mrs.
Wright still lives at the family homestead. The
children born in the Wright Family are: Edward G.
Wright, of Amboy; William, of Toledo; James
R., of Toledo; Clara, wife of John
Hartell, of Amboy; Brainard, of Prairie Depot;
Ralph, of Cincinnati; & Arthur, of the home place in Amboy.
When he was 12 years old Edward G. Wright began
working out by the month, & when he was 25 he had saved
enough to buy 40 acres. There was only 7 acres cleared & the
rest was under water. Mr. Wright set
about improving the land by drainage & building & adding
more land until he now has 120 acres, with 95 acres under
cultivation. The remainder is woodland, which he uses
for pasture. On January 04 1867, Mr. Wright
married Ida Mohr, of Amboy. She is a daughter of Peter &
Barbara (Greisinger) Mohr, the father from Germany & the
mother a native of Fulton Twp. Their children are: Clara,
wife of Alfred Gunn, of Amboy; Ivan, at home;
Lelia, wife of Graydon Loar, of Lenawee
County, Michigan; & LaVern, at home with the parents.
Mr. Wright went to the Common School, & as a
man he has served as a member of the School Board. He votes
the Republican ticket. While his father was English & his
father-in-law was German, there is no question about his
Americanism. The family belongs to the Methodist Church & he
is a member of the Board of Stewards.

Mr. & Mrs.
George G. Wright |
GEORGE
G. WRIGHT. This is one of the names held in
grateful memory in Fulton county, because of the long
residence of Mr. Wright, the industrious part he took
in earlier and later days as a farmer, and the honesty and
good will that distinguished all his relations with the
community.
He was born at Kirkby, England, Apr. 30, 1831, a son of
Edward and Catherine (Grantham) Wright. His
parents lived all their lives in England. George
Grantham Wright was reared and trained to agricultural
pursuits, followed farming in England, and on July 7, 1858,
married Ann Parr. Mrs. Wright was born at
Osgodby July 7, 1834, daughter of William and Elizabeth
(Tomlinson) Parr. Her mother died in England in
1845 and her father married for his second wife Mary Ann
Rushton and later came to America and lived out his
years at Manchester, Michigan, where he and his wife are
buried.
In 1858 George G. Wright came to America, and in
Fulton county bought sixty acres in Amboy township. A
large part of the land was covered with woods and for a
number of years he made a determined fight against the
powers of the wilderness, until he saw his farm under
cultivation and with excellent improvements. That old
homestead where he settled more than sixty years ago was the
place where death came to him on Mar. 19, 1912, and Mrs.
Wright still occupies the farm. She is now
eighty-six years of age, and still in good health and
retains her faculties. The late Mr. Wright
still occupies the farm. She is now eighty-six years
of age, and still in good health and retains her faculties.
The late Mr. Wright was an earnest member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, serving as steward,
superintendent of the Sunday School and was most regular in
the performance of his church duties. He also served
as a school director and politically voted as a republican.
The oldest of the children is Edward G., of
Amboy township, William lives in Lucas county, Ohio,
Catherine E. died in infancy. James is a
resident of Toledo, Clara Alsena is Mrs. John
Hurtle of Amboy township, Brainard lives at
Prairie Depot, Ohio, and Ralph is a resident of
Cincinnati.
The youngest of the family is Arthur Clinton,
who lives with his mother and manages the home farm.
In December, 1900, he married Edna Ford, who was born
in Lucas County, Ohio, June 17, 1876. Her parents were
Wallace and Eliza (Willson) Ford, the former a native
of Massachusetts and the latter of Fulton county, Ohio.
Arthur C. Wright, and wife have seven children:
Dorothy, George Stanley, Paul Willson, Harold Arthur, Marian
Eliza, Freda Frances, and Rachel Lucile.
