DAMOS KAHLER
represents one of the pioneer families of Hardin county, and
their name figures prominently on the pages of the history of
Washington township. John Kahler, his paternal
grandfather, born in Wurtemberg, Germany, in 1778, emigrated to
the United States in 1834, and in the same year entered forty
acres of government land in Washington township, Hardin county,
while two years afterward, in 1836, he brought his family here.
His wife before marriage was Martha Shively, and they had
three children: Ludwig, John G. and one who died
when young.
John G. Kahler, born Apr. 26, 1821, in
Wurtemburg, Germany, came with his father to the United States,
and reaching man's estate he purchased land at different times
until he accumulated six hundred and forty acres, which was
afterward sold and willed to his heirs at different times and
with the exception of forty acres the property is still in the
possession of his children. John G. Kahler was a
worthy citizen of his adopted country and an industrious and
successful agriculturist of Hardin county. He served
Washington township as treasurer for ten years. He was
confirmed in the German Lutheran church and continued one of the
members of that denomination until finally uniting with the
Methodist Episcopal church, afterward living and dying in that
faith. He married Miss Eve M. Markley on Dec. 28,
1846, and nine children were born to them, namely: two who died
in infancy, Damos, William, Simon, Mary
(deceased), Frank, Emma (deceased) and Joseph.
John G. Kahler, the father, died on the 18th of February,
1908, when eighty-seven years of age, and his wife died on the
19th of October, 1905, when seventy-six years of age.
Their old family Bible shows with what earnest care and deep
research the book was read and studied, and its many markings
also show their familiarity with the Word of God. This
Bible is one of Martin Luther's translations, and
dates back to 1585.
Damos Kahler was born in Hancock county, Ohio,
Jan. 11, 1850, and was three years of age when his parents moved
to what is now Dola in Washington township. On the 18th of
December, 1876, he moved to his present farm of one hundred and
twenty acres of valuable farming land, all under a high state of
cultivation and his buildings are commodious and modern.
He has served his township as an assessor and school director,
and is one of the influential residents of Washington township.
He married Miss Helmena, a daughter of
Christian and Christena Heroe, Dec. 6,
1876, and they have had two children, Olive M. and Edward C.,
but the son died on the 7th of September, 1884. The
daughter is now the wife of W. W. Stump. Mr.
Kahler and his family are members of the Methodist Episcopal
church at Dunkirk, and he has served his church as a steward and
trustee.

WILLIAM
C. KAHLER, a prominent farmer of Pleasant
township, Hardin county, Ohio, was born in the township where he
now resides, in 1883, son of William and Mary (Bloom) Kahler,
and grandson of Conrad Kahler. Conrad was
one of the pioneers of Hardin county, and there made his
fortune. He was a native of Germany, and upon his arrival
in the county, Kenton was only a small village; there were few
settlers in the neighborhood, and land was plenty. The
only capital he had was his ambition, energy and pluck, as his
cash in hand consisted of only ten cents, and aside from the
clothes he wore his wardrobe was contained in a handkerchief
which was slung over his back. After living a short time
in his adopted country he began to prosper, and soon desired to
avail himself of the splendid opportunities all around him; he
lost no time, but invested his savings to good advantage, as
soon as he had worked long enough to obtain a little money, and
in time became the owner of 700 acres of land. He also
engaged in the manufacture of brick, building up an extensive
business in this line, and carried on this enterprise a number
of years. The two large dwelling houses now on the
family homestead were built in 1879, from bricks of his own
manufacture, and he also made the brick used in many large
buildings of the community. Not only did Conrad
Kahler acquire wealth, but he became an influential citizen,
and served at one time as commissioner of Hardin county.
His large estate was on the edge of the village of Kenton, and
extended three miles north of it. He and his wife, who was
Hannah Meyers, a native of Germany, were members
of the German Reformed church. They had children as
follows: Edward, William, Henry, Emma
and Minnie, all deceased; they were all born in Pleasant
township.
William Kahler was born in 1858, on his
father's farm near Kenton, and inherited his share of the
estate; he improved this land, and held it until his death, July
27, 1887. His widow, whose maiden name was Mary
Bloom, is also a native of Pleasant township, and survives
him; she was born Oct. 26, 1862. They were parents of two
children, Eva deceased, and William C.
William C. Kahler was reared in his native
township, and received his education in the public schools.
When old enough he began working on his father's farm.
Upon attaining his majority he moved to his present farm of one
hundred and sixty acres of first-class farming land. He is
a successful farmer, and carries on general farming in a
scientific and efficient manner. He is well known in the
community, where his entire life has been spent, and has many
friends.
In 1907 Mr. Kahler married Nettie,
daughter of John and Margaret Deucker,
natives of Germany and Hardin county, Ohio, respectively.
Mrs. Kahler was born in Buck township, Hardin
county, in 1888. John Deucker was born in
1853, and emigrated to the United States in 1870; he was married
in Hardin county, and owned two hundred acres of land in Buck
township, where he lived until 1897 and then removed to
Cleveland, Ohio. He and his wife had six children, all
born in the county, namely: William, Karl, Mary,
Emma, Minnie, and Nettie. Mr.
Kahler and his wife have one daughter, Madeline M.

Charles D. Kelley |
CHARLES DARRELL KELLEY
is prominently associated with Hardin county as a
journalist, and he represents a family which has been identified
with Ohio since before its admission into the union of states
and which has been represented in every prominent war of the
nation. It was the paternal great-great-grandfather who
became a resident of Ohio before its admission as a state to the
Union, when the territory, sparsely settled by sturdy pioneers,
was holding its own against British invasion and Indian wars.
His son Joseph, of Irish lineage and a native of Ohio,
was a trader, farmer and rural barrister, as was his father
before him. He married Sarah Shaw, a native of
Pennsylvania, and among their children was Matthew Kelley,
who was born in Pickaway county, Ohio, and at the time of his
death was a store keeper at Groveport, Ohio. He married
Louisa Weaver, and among the children numbered Isaac
Kelley, who became a father of the Kenton editor.
Isaac N. Kelley was born in Pickaway county, Ohio,
subsequently moved to Franklin county, this state, and after
attending school there and at Ada he engaged in farming in
Hardin county. His wife was before marriage Jennie
Rarey, a great-granddaughter of Charles Rarey, a
farmer, who came to this country from German before the opening
of the eighteenth century and was one of the first frontiersmen
in the vicinity of Columbus, Ohio. Her father settled in
Hardin county in 1854.
Charles D. Kelley was born on his parents' farm
three miles west of Kenton on the 8th of July, 1882.
During three years of his early life he attended school in
district No. 10 of the Scioto Valley. On the 1st of April,
1891, he accompanied the family on their removal to a farm
adjoining South Kenton, and a year or two later they took up a
permanent residence in Kenton, where the head of the household
became the deputy postmaster. All of the members of this
family are living excepting the father, whose death occurred
when Charles was a lad of fourteen, and it was by dint of
hard work, economy and perseverance that the large family
afterward held together. Young Charles continued
his attendance at school, working on farm, in factory and store
between terms, and was graduated from the Kenton high school
with distinction on June 6, 1901. He afterward continued
his education along special lines, but his specialty seemed the
literary field, black and white drawing and mathematics.
He was chosen by the Kenton schools to represent his city in an
interurban oratorical contest at Upper Sandusky on May 10, 1901,
and in his oration entitled "The Swing of the Pendulum" he
demonstrated forensic superiority and won the chief prize that
was awarded to the male division in the contest, which embraced
all the important cities of northwestern Ohio.
In 1901, in Kenton, Mr. Kelley engaged in the
newspaper business as a regular vocation, he having previously
at various times held small positions, such as carrying papers,
learning to set type, etc. Upon leaving school he accepted
a regular position as reporter on the Daily Democrat and
two years later became the city editor, but on the 1st of July,
1905, resigned the position to engage in newspaper work
elsewhere. He assisted in the starting of a new paper at
Sidney, and a few weeks later became associate editor of the
News-Republican at Kenton. He held that position until
Oct. 31, 1907, when he acquired twenty-five per cent of the
stock of The Kenton Republican Company, became a director and
the secretary of the company, and the editor-in-chief of the
company's publications.—The News-Republican, The
Hardin County Republican and The Graphic-News.
From the time of his first vote Mr. Kelley has
been a Roosevelt Republican; is a strong champion of principles
he believes to be right.—at the same time granting that other
men have a right to views of their own. He is not
affiliated with secret societies, but has given much time to the
reorganization and betterment of The Kenton Guards, Company I.
Second Regiment of Infantry. O. N. G. He enlisted in the
company on June 10, 1902, first as a private, being later
appointed company clerk, and then corporal; was elected first
lieutenant and commissioned Aug. 1, 1906; and was next elected
captain of the Second Infantry and placed in command of Company
I. At the time of this commission, made by Governor
Harris on Mar. 4, 1907, he is thought to have been the
youngest commanding officer in the state. During his
captaincy the command has won an excellent reputation through
its personnel and marksmanship.
Mr. Kelley married on June 29, 1907, Miss
Bess G. Stevenson, an accomplished young woman of Kenton,
great-granddaughter of Harvey Buckminster, who conducted
the pioneer stage coach line in this part of Ohio, running from
Detroit to Cincinnati, and in whose honor Buck township was
named. A daughter, Lillian Jane, was born to Mr.
and Mrs. Kelley on the 22d of November, 1909. As an
editor Charles D. Kelley has proved himself an
intelligent shaper of matter for public print, and as a citizen
he is identified with the earnest life of his community, public
spirited and patriotic and a diligent worker at anything he
attempts. His kindly and always sympathetic nature account
for no personal enemies, and his sturdy character and strong
personality mark him as one of the truest and best citizens of
his community.

IRA N. KELLY
is numbered among the successful and progressive agriculturists
of Washington Township, and he is also a member of the family
who were among the earliest pioneers of Ohio, his
great-grandfather on the paternal side, Joseph Kelly,
having come to this state from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1795.
Andrew S. Kelly, the father of Ira born in
Pickaway county, Ohio, moved to Hancock county of this state in
1853 and to Hardin county in 1872. He served his country
three years as a Civil war soldier, as a private with Company F,
Ohio volunteer Infantry and with Sherman on his
celebrated march to the sea. He served faithfully and well
as a soldier, and after his honorable discharge at the close of
the war he returned to peaceful citizenship and to the work of
the farm. His death occurred in the year of 1907 and his
wife passed away in 1891. She was in her maidenhood
Susannah Yates, and was born in Hancock county, Ohio, in
1836. Nine children were born of their marriage union,
namely: George E., superintendent of schools at
Krydersville, Ohio; Estella, Mrs.
Patterson; Sadie, Mrs. Kenode; William H.
and Samuel M., both druggists in Wellston,
this state; Joseph A., of Ada; Mark B., a cigar
dealer at that place; and June, deceased, and one who
died in infancy.
Ira N. Kelly, one of the sons in the above
family and now one of the representative farmers of Washington
township, has since 1901 owned a splendidly improved estate of
seventy-six acres but which in January, 1910, he sold and bought
in Trumbull county. He was born in Hancock county, Ohio,
in 1857, but he was reared and educated in the city of Ada,
attending the university there, but previously he had
taught school. He continued his educational labors after
leaving the university, teaching for twenty years in Hardin
county. In 1890 he was made the deputy recorder for Hardin
county, serving in that office until 1893, and in 1900 he was
appointed to that office and served for one and a half years.
He has also filled various township positions, was formerly a
justice of the peace and has also been a township clerk.
His name is thus prominently recorded on the pages of the
history of Hardin county, and he has proved a true and valued
citizen.
In 1879 Mr. Kelly was married to Miss
Margaret E., a daughter of Samuel and Rachel Carey,
and although their marriage union has been without issue they
have an adopted son and daughter, the former being Carl F.
Carey and the latter Fredea Willike.
Mrs. Kelly was born in Liberty township of Hardin county in
1861. Both she and her husband are members of the
Methodist Protestant church, active in its work and upbuilding,
and Mr. Kelly has served his religious home as a class
leader, trustee and as a Sunday school superintendent. He
is also prominently identified with the fraternal order of Odd
Fellows at Dunkirk, both he and his wife being also connected
with its auxiliary, the Rebekahs, and Mr. Kelly is
a past noble grand of the order.

JOSEPH V. KELLY,
an intelligent and progressive farmer of Dudley township, Hardin
county, Ohio, was born in that township Mar. 12, 1844. His
father, Benjamin Kelly, who was born in Pennsylvania, in
1800, came with his father to Ohio in 1835, settling first in
Marion county; later he came to Hardin county, where he cleared
eighty acres of land and erected a log cabin. In 1847 he
erected a small frame house of black walnut, which is still
standing on the old homestead. He lived here the remainder
of his life, and passed away in 1865. He was a cooper by
trade. He was a member of the United Brethren church, and
was not actively interested in political matters.
Benjamin Kelly married Martha Snoddy, who died in
1871, at the age of seventy years. Mr. Kelly and
his wife had fifteen children, of whom Joseph was the
youngest son. Besides Joseph three others are
living, namely: Isabel, wife of William Davis,
a farmer of Dudley township; Lucinda wife of Samuel
Smith; and Ellen, widow of B. Walters, of
Columbus, Ohio.
The boyhood of Joseph V. Kelly was spent on a
farm and he received his education in the public schools.
He helped his father with the duties of the farm until
twenty-one years old, then began farming on his own account,
renting land. After the death of his father he purchased
the shares of the other heirs to the old homestead, and his
mother remained with him. In 1891 he erected a modern
home, one of the finest residences in the section. He has
one hundred and forty acres of good fertile land, where he has
for many years carried on farming and stock raising. Mr.
Kelly is a Republican, and active in the interests of his
party, although he has never desired to hold public office
himself. He is a member of the United Brethren church and
has served many years as trustee of the same. Mr.
Kelly has for many years been extensively interested in
cattle, breeding and shipping Hereford stock.
In 1870 Mr. Kelly married Mary C. Lingo,
born Oct. 29, 1846, daughter of James H. and Emma (Kepper)
Lingo, and they became the parents of three children, two
who died in infancy, and James Claude, born in
1874. James C. Kelly has spent his life on a farm
and is well fitted to manage one to the best advantage. He
married Daisy Cramer, born Nov. 12, 1878, daughter of
John and Emma (Willison) Cramer; Mr. Cramer was a
farmer of Hancock county, Ohio, and died Dec. 27, 1902, at the
age of sixty-two years; his wife is living, at the age of
fifty-nine years, in Dudley township. She is a daughter of
George Willison and Elizabeth Hazelett. The father
of John Cramer. Charles Cramer, was born in
1853, in Germany, on a steamer which was navigating on the
Rhine. After migrating to America he settled in Columbus,
Ohio, where he followed his trade of shoemaker. He was
married at Arlington, in 1836, to Catherine Price, and
died in 1866. His son John was born Mar. 27, 1840,
in Hancock county. John Cramer was a soldier in the
Civil war, having enlisted in Company A. One Hundred and
Thirty-third Ohio Infantry. He was reported dead but was
later found by his father and brought home. James C.
Kelly and his wife became the parents of children as
follows: Lenard Ray, born Aug. 27, 1899; John
Merrill, born Feb. 12, 1901; Laura Dill born Jan. 16,
1903; Emma Catherine, born Apr. 28, 1905; and Joseph,
who died in infancy.
The wife of Joseph V. Kelly died Aug. 24, 1909,
and her death was mourned by the entire community. She was
for many years an earnest, devout member of the United Brethren
church, and active in the Ladies' Aid Society, as well as all
other work connected with the church. Her lovely
disposition and high character made her greatly beloved, and her
presence will be greatly missed in many circles. After
leaving school she remained at home until her marriage.
Mrs. Kelly was a kind neighbor, always ready to give
aid and counsel to the sick and distressed, as well as to lend a
helping hand to anymore who called upon her. She was a
kind, indulgent mother, a faithful, loving wife, and her
sorrowing family have the sympathy of all who know them.
She was the fourth child of her parents, and is survived by four
brothers and one sister.

GEORGE W. KLINGLER
- The Klingler name is an old and honored
one of Hardin county, and it also belongs to some of the
pioneers of the county. This family trace their ancestry
in this country to John Klingler, who came many years ago
from his native land of Switzerland to the United States and
with his family located in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania,
and there his children were born. That family included
Adam Klingler, who finally moved to Perry county, Ohio,
after his marriage to Elizabeth Fielder. There they
entered one hundred and sixty acres of land during President
Andrew Jackson's administration, reared their family and
died in peace and plenty. They became the parents of
twelve children, but only David, George, Jacob A., Joel,
Margaret and Leah moved to Hardin county, but not all
at one time, although inside of five years.
David Klingler came to this county in 1848, and
the land which his father entered he gave to him, it being then
in its virgin state, and it took hard and incessant toil to
bring to it the productive place which it soon was. He
built a hewed log house there with a board floor, it being
rather a comfortable and commodious dwelling, and he married
Miss Sarah Brosius of German parentage. Her people,
who were wealthy, emigrated to this country in an early day.
To David and Sarah Klingler were born eighteen children,
namely: Amos, Reuben and Joshua (twins),
Charles, David, Melanchton, Adam, Jacob, Sarah, Calvin,
Franklin, William, Mary and Amelia (twins),
Douglas, Silome, Cyrus and Catherine. Amos, Douglas
and Amelia are residents of Hardin county.
David Klingler, the father, died in 1875, his wife Sarah
having passed away twenty-four years ago.
Amos Klingler, the first born of the eighteen
children, was born in Perry county, Ohio, in 1842, and he has
always followed agricultural pursuits. In 1865 he bought
his present farm of eighty acres of wild and unimproved land,
but this unproductive place soon gave way to a valuable and well
cultivated homestead. In 1862 Amos Klingler married
Miss Lucinda Greenawalt, from Allen county, Ohio, and
their eight children are: David H., Reuben M.,
John C., George W., Clara, Isaiah, Nathan L. and Adam.
Clara, the only daughter, is the wife of C. M. Clun.
George W. Klingler was born in Liberty township,
Hardin county, June 6, 1867, and he was reared and educated in
his native township, and adopting the vocation of his ancestors
he has become a prominent and successful agriculturist. He
began life for himself without capital save willing hands and
ready mind, and his first investment in land was but a small
tract. To that he soon added forty acres more, then an
additional twenty and kept on increasing his landed possessions
until he now owns an estate of one hundred and seventy-five
acres of the finest farming land of the community and improved
with as fine a set of buildings as are found in Hardin county.
His barn is a convenient and commodious structure erected in
1904, and the home, modern and complete in its appointments, was
built in the following year of 1905. Mr. Klingler
makes a specialty of raising hogs.
On Aug. 26, 1893, Mr. Klingler was married to
Miss Bessie, a daughter of the Rev. Eli Beagle, a
minister in the Dunkard church. She was born in Blanchard
township of Hardin county in 1872. The four children of
this union are: Chauncey V., born in 1894;
Gladys, in 1898; Amos E., in 1902; and Raymond,
in 1904. The family are members of St. Paul's Reformed
church and Mr. Klingler is a member of the Grange.

whose sketch appears elsewhere in this volume and Annette
Ichler. Previous to her marriage Mrs. Kohler
taught school in Buck township, beginning at the age of fifteen,
and in the Grammar department of the Kenton schools for some
years. On Jan. 28. 1895, she was appointed a clerk in the
