a time, after which he made a journey through Canada, and
then located at Cincinnati. Here he worked at his
trade two years; in 1852 he bought a small farm near Mt.
Washington, which he has since conducted in connection with
his trade. His first marriage was with Sarah,
daughter of John Kauffman, and to this union six

JACOB S. KUHN,
deceased, who was one of Anderson township’s best men, was
born there Dec. 19, 1843. His parents died when he was
young, after which he lived with a sister, Mrs.
James Matthews, until he was about fifteen years
of age, when he concluded to learn the blacksmith’s trade
with a Mr. Lemon Cox. He was serving his
apprenticeship when the Civil war broke out, and he laid
aside his tools, and took his musket to defend his country,
enlisting in Company D, Seventieth O. V. I., for three
years, or during the war, and served all of that time as a
private. He was made a prisoner at Jackson, Miss.,
with thirteen others, and was held as such for eleven
months, being the only one of the fourteen that came from
the prison alive.
After the war Mr. Kuhn followed his trade
for twelve years, and by good workmanship and fair honest
dealing soon built up a good trade. He then entered
mercantile trade at the same point, keeping a general stock,
and was engaged thus up to the time of his death. The
venture was successful, and he left his widow and two sons
in good circumstances. He was a member of the
Methodist Church, and a Republican in politics. He was
a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and the I. O. O.
F., being a member of Mt. Washington Lodge, in which he
filled the Chair and presided over the assembly. He
was enterprising, devoted to religious work, and a great
help to the church of which he was a member. A kind
and indulgent husband, his death was mourned by all who knew
him.
Mr. Kuhn was married, Nov. 6, 1854, to
Miss Jemima Bogart, born July 14, 1837, in this county,
daughter of Abraham and Patsey (Bridges) Bogart,
whose sketch appears in connection with that of James
Bogart, in this work. This marriage was blessed
by two sons: Henry S., married to Mary
Bridges, and Edward T., unmarried. The sons
are engaged in the mercantile trade at Cluff post office,
Hamilton Co., Ohio.
