TIPTON HALL
was born Nov. 10, 1822, in Archer Township, Harrison Co., Ohio. His
father, W. P. Hall, was born in eastern Ohio on the banks of the Ohio
River, and his parents dying when he was quite young he was thrown on his own
resources, early manifesting those qualities which have endeared him to the
citizens of Harrison County. After the death of his parents he resided
with Otho French, and was engaged in farming, but soon after he became of
age he learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed during the remainder of
his life. About the year 1815 he was married to Hannah Tipton,
daughter of John Tipton (who was one of the earliest settlers of Harrison
County), and after marriage he located in Archer Township, where he resided a
short time; then removed to Green Township, where he purchased a farm, on
which he died. His family consisted of nine children: Louis, Tipton,
John G., Johnson, B. S., Elizabeth, Sarah Jane, Harriet and Rachel,
all of whom reached maturity and became highly respected and eminent citizens of
Harrison County. In politics Mr. Hall was a Republican, and among
the offices he held in his township may be mentioned that of supervisor.
Early joining the Methodist Church both himself and wife were stanch supporters
of that faith. In 1808 his wife died and was laid to rest in Conaway
Cemetery, and ten years later he himself followed her he had so dearly
cherished, and was placed beside her. They were estimable people, fully
beside her. They were estimable people, fully meriting the respect in
which they were held.
Tipton Hall remained at home assisting in the
duties of the farm until in March, 1847, he was married to Rachel Fife,
daughter of John Fife, a resident of Green Township. They settled
on a farm in Archer Township, and have ever since been among its leading people.
The following children have been born to them: D. W., in March,
1848; Eliza Jane, born Jan. 21, 1850, now Mrs. Thomas Snyder; Hannah
Matilda, born Mar. 9, 1853, died Dec. 25, 1856; Caroline, born Feb.
3, 1858, now Mrs. Charles McClain; Emma R., born Aug. 23, 1864, and
John E., born May 20, 1867. In politics Mr. Hall s an ardent
Democrat, and takes a lively interest in the affairs of the county at large, as
well as those of his own immediate vicinity. For two terms he held the
office of trustee, discharging its duties to the best possible interests of his
township. He is a man of deep convictions, a lively imagination, and one
whom it is a pleasure to meet. His farm comprises forty-eight acres, is
under excellent cultivation, and is one of the best producing in his
neighborhood. The buildings are neat and substantial, giving evidence of
the taste and skill of the owner.

JOHN
NEWTON HANNA is descended from one of the earliest families who settled
in Harrison County, Ohio, and is of Scotch-Irish extraction, his ancestors
having immigrated to America in an early day, some of whom came to Harrison
County when the country was a wilderness. About the year 1800 one of their
descendants, Samuel Hanna, came to and entered a tract of land in Short
Creek Township, where he located and passed the remainder of his days, and at
his death the farm became the property of his son, James Hanna, who was
born upon the place in the year 1803. IN 1824 he married Miss Margaret
Fulton, a native of Fayette County, Penn., born there in 1803. They
resided on the farm in Short Creek Township until 1859, when they both fell
victims to typhoid fever, then epidemic, and died, the mother on Aug. 10, and
the father Aug. 25, of that year. Their union had been blessed with eleven
children, five of whom are now living, and the second eldest survivor is the
gentleman of whom this sketch is given.
John Newton Hanna was born on the original
homestead and grew to maturity with his parents, receiving the advantages of the
common schools and a thorough education at Franklin College, New Athens, Ohio.
In 1861 he married, Margaret A. Finley, a daughter of Dr. Robert
Finley, a leading physician and surgeon of Mount Pleasant, Ohio. In
1867 they removed from their farm to Cadiz, where Mr. Hanna engaged in
mercantile business, and was also interested in the machine shops of that place.
It was during their residence there that Mrs. Hanna died, the sad event
occurring in March, 1871. She was a consistent member of the Presbyterian
Church. By that marriage three children were born, as follows:
Flora Evangeline (deceased when aged sixteen years), James F. and
Angie Gertrude. In 1878 Mr. Hanna was united in marriage with
Miss Mahala Narragon, a native of Ohio, and this union has been blessed
with one child, William Grimes born in 1880. Since 1873 Mr.
Hanna has resided on the original homestead, which now consists of 290 acres
of finely improved land. He is one of the leading farmers of his section,
and is very popular and highly respected; politically he is a Republican.

WILLIAM HARRISON,
a leading and progressive agriculturist of Short Creek Township, Harrison
County, Ohio, was born in that township November 21, 1842. His father,
Hezekiah Harrison, was a native of Maryland, and was born in 1804, of
English ancestry. In 1820 he came to Harrison County, locating in Green
Township, where he and his brothers rented land. In 1829 he was married to
Miss Lydia Hilbert, daughter of David Hilbert, and six
children were the result of this union, viz.: David, in Marion County,
Kas.; Albert J., who died in May, 1889, leaving two sons, now residing in
Cadiz, aged respectively twenty-three and twenty years (Albert J. was a
soldier in the War of the Rebellion, having enlisted in the One Hundred and
Twenty-sixth O. V. I.; at the battle of the Wilderness, under Grant, he
lost an arm, which was ultimately the cause of his death); Henry H., a
dentist in Wheeling, W. Va.; William, the subject of this sketch;
Milton, who died when two years of age; and Arabella, who resides in
Cadiz. Hezekiah Harrison, in partnership with his
brother-in-law, David Hilbert, built the Union Vale Mill, which
still stands. He and his wife made their home in Green Township until
1839, in which year they moved to Short Creek Township, where, after engaging in
the occupation of farming, the mother died in 1869, at the age of fifty-six
years, and the father, in 1877, when aged seventy-three years. Politically
he was a member of the Republican party, and in religion he was associated with
the Presbyterian Church.
William Harrison, of whom this sketch is
written, received a good common-school education, and was brought up to farm
life, following that vocation until the breaking out of the War of the
Rebellion, when he enlisted in the "United States Signal Corps, serving two
years at Washington City, and returning to Harrison County at the close of his
term of service. In 1867 he was married to Miss Sallie A. Hargrave,
daughter of Joseph and Margaret Hargrave, of Harrison County, Ohio, the
parents of five children, viz.: William, in Archer Township, Harrison
County; Joseph M., in Jefferson County; Sallie A. (Mrs. Harrison);
Elisha, in Cadiz, and Mary O., wife of I. J. Thompson, in Mt.
Pleasant, Jefferson County. After marriage Mr. Harrison
carried on, for about ten years, a saw- mill and lumber business in Short Creek
Township, and in 1877 they came to the farm where they now reside, not far from
the old home farm where his parents and family lived for nearly twenty years.
Mr. and Mrs. Harrison are the parents of four children, as follows:
Caroline Hilbert, Frederick, Ralph B. and Claribel, all at school.
The home of the family is situated about three miles from the town of Cadiz,
adjoining the Cadiz and Harrisville pike. "There are eighty-seven acres of
valuable land, where Mr. Harrison carries on general farming and
the growing of small fruit. His farm is underlaid with a valuable and
accessible vein of coal nearly six feet in thickness. He and his wife are
members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of the New Athens District; he is a
member of the F. & A. M. , and in politics is a Republican. Mr.
Harrison is a representative self-made man, his success in life being due to
his own individual efforts, and be and his wife enjoy the respect and esteem of
the community at large.

THE
HENDERSON FAMILY. William Henderson, grandfather of
William and James O. Henderson, farmers, of Cadiz Township,
Harrison County, came from Pennsylvania in an early day, and settled upon a
piece of unimproved land in what is now the State of Ohio. Later he
removed to the place where the remainder of his life was spent, which land has
ever since remained in the family possession. He was married to Nancy
Wilkins, of what is now Carroll County, Ohio, who bore him ten children,
all of whom have passed away, save three: Mrs. Sally Love, Mrs. Jane
Patterson (widow), and Mrs. Catharine Trimbull (widow), all now
residing near Athens, Harrison County.
Alexander Henderson, one of those
deceased, was born in Cadiz Township, Harrison Co., Ohio, August 9, 1813, and
when about nine years of age he came with his parents to the present Henderson
farm. He received a good, practical education, and then, not being
sufficiently robust for farm life, took up the profession of school teacher,
which he continued for several years; but his health improving, he abandoned the
school-room for the pursuits of agriculture. In 1843 he was married to
Miss Margaret Finical, a native of Washington County, Penn., but who
came, when ten years of age, with her parents, Isaac and Margaret
Finical, to Harrison County, Ohio. After their marriage Mr. and
Mrs. Henderson made their home, until 1804, on the farm where Samuel
Richey now resides, and then removed to the place where he died March 17,
1883, aged seventy years, and where his widow yet resides. At the time of
his decease Mr. Henderson was the owner of 400 acres of
well-cultivated land, situated some three and a half miles from Cadiz. He was a
stanch Republican, and in his lifetime had held various political positions of
honor and trust in his county; he was county commissioner for six years, and
also township trustee; for several years he was president of the First National
Bank of Cadiz. He was the father of three children: William (a
farmer in Cadiz Township), Alvin (now a physician in New York), and
James O., on the home farm.
WILLIAM HENDERSON was born May 11, 1844, on the
first farm located by his parents in Harrison County, and received his education
at the schools of his district. In 1804 he responded to his country's call
for troops by enlisting in Company K, One Hundred and Seventieth O.N.G., and
during the one-hundred-days service he was stationed near Washington, also in
the Shenandoah Valley. He participated in the battle of Winchester and
other engagements occurring in the valley, and was fortunate enough to escape
being wounded. Receiving an honorable discharge, he returned home to the
pursuits of peace. On December 7, 1871, Mr. Henderson was married
to Miss Rachel H., daughter of James and Mary (Barnes) Robison, of
Archer Township, Harrison County, and three children have been born to them,
viz.: Margaret, Alvin and Grace Barnes, all
living at home. Mr. Henderson is a member of the G. A. R. at Cadiz, and in
politics is a Republican. His farm of 320 acres is devoted chiefly to
sheep -raising.
JAMES O. HENDERSON was born in Cadiz Township,
Harrison Co., Ohio, February 20, 1847, and secured his primary education at the
common schools of his district, which was supplemented by an attendance at the
colleges at New Athens and Hopedale, and the university at Ann Arbor, Mich. In
1874 he was united in marriage with Miss Belle, daughter of
Charles Wells, of Cadiz Township, and they then settled on the farm
where they have since resided—the old homestead of his father. This farm is a
model one, highly improved and well watered, comprising 225 broad acres. In
politics he follows in the footsteps of his father, being a zealous Republican,
but he is no office-seeker, his time being devoted exclusively to the work of
his farm.
The Henderson family is a representative
one in Harrison County, and it can be truthfully said that none commands higher
esteem or a larger share of respect.

A. B. HINES,
county recorder, is descendant of one of the oldest families of Harrison County,
Ohio, and was born in Nottingham Township, Feb. 2, 1854. His father,
John R. Hines, is a farmer by vocation, and in January, 1853, was married in
Nottingham Township, to Elizabeth Christy, daughter of Robert and Jane
Christy, all natives of Harrison County. To this union were born ten
children, of whom eight are still living, three in Harrison County, viz.: our
subject, in Cadiz; J. Henry Hines, doctor of dentistry; and Mrs. Belle
J. Fulton, all married; the remaining five reside in Iowa, including one
daughter, Mrs. Charles Starwaltz, of Murray, Clarke County, and one,
Laura, at home with the father in that State. The mother of this
family was a truly noble Christian woman, who reared her children in the way
they should go, and died at the age of forty-five years, three months and
thirteen days, in Murray, Iowa, where the father still lives at the age of sixty
years, and to which place he removed from Stock Township, Harrison Co., Ohio, in
November, 1879. He has been a leader in the Methodist Episcopal for many
years.
John Hines the paternal great-grandfather of our
subject, was a native of Westmoreland County, Va., but in 1804 removed to
Steubenville, Ohio, and in 1807 to within five miles west of Cadiz, Ohio,
purchasing a farm on the Moravian road. His son, William, the
grandfather of our subject, was but four years of age when brought by his
parents to Steubenville.
Albert B. Hines led an uneventful life until
about the age of eleven, when he was afflicted with an attack of that dread
disease, cerebrospinal meningitis, which carried away a younger brother, but
from which Albert B. recovered after two years of suffering. He
then resumed his life upon the farm, sharing its toils and duties until nineteen
years old, when, feeling that his strength was inadequate to the requirements of
a successful farmer, he relinquished agriculture and for one year attended
"Ground Hog" Seminary in Cadiz Township, under the instruction of M. B. Adams,
a county examiner where he remained one year, but, his health continuing to
fail, he in 1875 began teaching at Elk Run District. He had taught about a
year when he began to realize that he had not fully recovered from the disorder
with which he had been afflicted, his left foot failing in the performance of
its functions. In the meantime, however, he had turned his attention to
the study of medicine, and in 1877 returned to Hopedale College, but at the end
of a month, his foot trouble having become more serious, he caused an
examination to be made, when it was pronounced by the physicians that he was
suffering from partial paralysis of the sciatic nerve. He then realized
that he could never practice actively as a physician, and resumed teaching.
By 1878, however, he had lost the use of his lower limbs entirely, and was
obliged to ride to and from his school. But he was possessed of great
determination, and manfully held to his duties until 1880, when he was compelled
to cease in the performance of them, as he had grown gradually worse and worse.
His sufferings had been simply excruciating, and it was only by the exertion of
almost superhuman will power that he was able to keep up at all. Some
fifteen times he had submitted to the cauterizing of his back and limb with an
iron heated to whiteness, the operations lasting thirty minutes each, and after
the burnings the pain was much more intense than during the operation.
In 1879 the parents of Mr. Hines moved to Iowa,
and in January, 1880, he received word that his mother had died, when he at once
removed to the Far Wet, where for some time he herded cattle, hoping that open
air would prove a benefit, but he was frequently thrown from his pony, owing to
his disabled condition, and was of course unable to re-mount. Being thus
obliged to relinquish herding, he turned his attention once more to teaching,
and, with the aid of a wheel chair as a means of locomotion, was able to teach
two summers. He then, in 1883, sold his herd of fifty cattle and returned
to Harrison County with his sister Belle J., wife of Philip Fulton,
with the intention of making a short visit only, but he was elected township
clerk of Stock Township for one year, and subsequently was induced by the
entreaties of friends to enter the mailing department of a card and novelty
house in Cassville. In 1885 he received the nomination on the Republican
ticket as candidate for the office of county recorder, to which position he was
triumphantly elected, receiving more ballots than any other nominee for any
office in the county. He filled his term with so much satisfaction to all
concerned that he was re-elected in 1888, again running farm ahead of his
ticket, and is now filling out his second term.
In the fall of 1882 Mr. Hines had made the
acquaintance of Miss Laura E. Laughlin, daughter of Hugh C. and
Emeline Laughlin, of Jewett, Harrison County, and on Oct. 16, 1884, they
were married. One child, Walter A., was sent to bless this union,
Oct. 30, 1885. Since taking up his abode in Cadiz, to which point his
official duties have called him, Mr. Hines has established a side
business in card and novelty manufacturing, which has continued to thrive until
the present day. Mr. and Mrs. Hines are highly esteemed members of
the Methodist Episcopal Church.

PETER HINES. The Hines
family in this country were originally natives of Westmoreland County,
Penn., where, in 1801, was born Jacob, the founder of the Hines
family in Harrison County, Ohio. He remained at home until his
marriage in early life with Susanna Brugh, also a resident of
Westmoreland County. The young couple immediately sought out a home, and,
having decided on coming to Ohio, where they arrived in 1830, they purchased a
tract of 100 acres in Archer Township, Harrison County, and moved into a log
cabin, which had been erected by the previous owners. By steady and continuous
work, they made much of the land fertile, felling the trees and clearing up the
debris. Betsy, George, Margaret, Bruce, Peter, Amos, John, Abbie and
Susan are the names of the children born to them. In politics,
Democratically inclined, Mr. Hines held offices in his township,
the duties of which he discharged to the full satisfaction of his constituents.
At various times he was member of the board of education of his township, and
also trustee; he and his
wife were members of the Presbyterian Church. On December 21, 1854, he
died and was buried in the Ridge Cemetery, his wife surviving him till she
reached the patriarchal age of eighty-two, when she died October 20, 1885, and
her remains were laid beside those of her husband.
Peter Hines, the subject proper of these lines,
remained at home, assisting in the management of the home place, and enjoying
the advantages of the common schools during the winter months. On October
22, 1857, he married Maria, daughter of John Webster, a resident
of Rumley Township, Harrison Co., Ohio, and after marriage they settled in the
log cabin on the home place, in which they resided until he purchased the
interests of the heirs. They then removed into their present residence.
Two children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hines, viz.: Linwood, born
in 1858, and Elmer H., born in 1872. In politics Mr.
Hines is a Democrat, and has been often honored by his fellow citizens with
the various offices in their gift, among which may be mentioned school director
and trustee. He and his family belong to the Presbyterian Church at Ridge.
Mr. Hines is emphatically a self-made man, having by his own labor
acquired all the property of which he now has such an abundance. His farm
of 221 acres is among the most fertile in his section, and is in excellent
condition for general agricultural purposes.

JACOB HUSTON,
the subject of this sketch, was born January 25, 1834, in Moorefield Township,
Harrison Co., Ohio. Here he spent his youth, in those occupations that
usually fall to the lot of the boys on the farm, and his attendance at the
schools that were then in existence was limited to an occasional short term in
the winter season. On March 23, 1858, he was married to Sarah Ann Zemueraly,
who bore him the following named children: Alexander, Mary
Margaret (Mrs. William Packer) and Benjamin F. (deceased). He
has always been an enterprising and eminently successful man. His chief
business has been that of farming and stock-raising, dealing in various kinds of
stock—buying and selling largely. In this business his excellent judgment,
as well as his knowledge of men and affairs, has stood him in good stead.
He now resides on his farm, which is situated about four miles west of Freeport,
Harrison County, and consists of about 635 acres, all in a good state of
cultivation. He has been a remarkably strong man, one of great endurance.
His success has been of his own achieving, having begun life with little save
his own physical and mental resources to assist him. Foremost in all
matters tending to the benefit of his section, loyal to the interests of the
people, he has always endeavored to keep abreast of the times. Since
Mrs. Huston's death, his household has been managed by his sister.
Mr. Huston is a Republican in his political belief, and always
takes an active interest in his party. His father, Edward Huston,
who was a native of Pennsylvania, was married, August 18, 1818, to Catherine
Lamb, and his children were Robert (deceased), Sarah
(deceased), John L. (deceased), Christina, Susanna,
Edward, Catherine (deceased), Jacob, William
(deceased), Samuel (deceased), Mary Ann (deceased) and
Alexandria and Benjamin, twins. Edward Huston
came to Ohio with his parents in 1803, and with them settled in Moorefield,
Harrison County. In politics he took an active part, and was always among
those who worked for the success of the Republican party. On December 9,
1802, he passed away, and March 2, 1870, was followed to the grave by his wife.
His father's family comprised the following: Isaac, Alexander,
Jacob, Benjamin, Catherine, Elizabeth, Edward
and Ruth. The Huston family, since their earliest
coming into Harrison County, have been prominently identified with the
progressive movements of the times, and have always had the respect of the
entire community.
