His parents, Jacob and Mary Ann (Alspach) Zoll, were
natives of Schuylkill County, Penn., and among the earliest
settlers of Fairfield County, Ohio. They started with
teams for this county, Apr. 15, 1834, and landed Apr. 22, in
Eagle Township, where they settled on a tract of 240 acres of
land which Jacob Zoll had entered the year before, and at
once began to clear up and improve their land. Jacob

August, 1880, aged eighty-three years. They were parents
of nine children: David, Mrs. Ellen Oman, Mrs.

where they now reside, and here they have a fine farm of eighty
acres of well improved land. Their union has been blessed
with nine children, four of whom are now living: Mrs.
Mary Jane Hartman, Rufus R. of Bluffton, Ohio; Jacob W.
and William H. They lost three of their children in
one week by diphtheria, in October, 1862. Mr. Zoll

ten years. He and his worthy wife are members of the
Lutheran Church. He is one of the honored pioneers of
Eagle Township, a valuable citizen, highly respected by the
