C. PERRY DICKEY.
There is no other occupation so important as that of farming because the
man who tills the soil is the one who produces the raw materials without
which the world cannot go on. Therefore upon his industry and
success rests the prosperity, the life even of humanity. Ohio has
always had among its citizens some of the best farmers in the country,
and the finely cultivated fields and sleek cattle, together with the
sanitary and modern buildings and machinery bear witness that the
present generation is not falling behind, but is keeping up the
reputation already gained. One of these representative farmers of
Harrison County, who has the distinction of having spent his life upon
his present farm, is Perry C. Dickey of Franklin township.
Perry C. Dickey was born in Franklin Township,
Apr. 16, 1874, a son of William W. and Cecilia (Barrett) Dickey,
and grandson of Benny Dickey. William W. Dickey was born in
Harrison County, Ohio, and spent his life in agricultural pursuits.
After reaching man's estate he began farming in Franklin Township, and
became the owner of 160 acres of land. His death occurred in 1914,
but his widow survived him until 1917, when she too passed away.
Their children were as follows: Alice A., Nancy Jane, Mary
and C. Perry. The family all belonged to the Christian
Church. During the war between the North and the South William
W. Dickey was a soldier in the Union army, and for eighteen months
served in the Eightieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry.
C. Perry Dickey received his educational
training in the public schools of Franklin Township, and his practical
knowledge while working on the homestead under his father's supervision.
He has spent all of his time and efforts on developing and cultivating
his farm which contains 155 acres, and here he is now engaged in a
general farming and stock-raising business with very satisfactory
results.
On Aug. 29, 1896, Mr. Dickey was married to
Amy McGill, a daughter of Thomas and Esther (West) McGill and
a niece of Robert McGill. Thomas McGill died Mar.
15, 1920, and his widow still survives. Mr. and Mrs. Dickey
have two children, twins, Ralph W. and Doris Wilma. Ralph W.
Dickey married Builah Patterson and they have two daughters,
Doris Jane and Marjorie June, and live at Dennison, Ohio.
Doris Wilma Dickey married Bryce Smith and they live at
Deersville, Ohio, and have two children, Ralph Dwight and Elda
Madeline. The Christian Church of Franklin Township holds the
membership of Mr. Dickey and his wife, and they are highly
regarded by the congregation.

GEORGE A. DUNLAP is making in his
native county an excellent record as a representative of the pedagogic
profession, and is at the time of this writing superintendent of the public
schools of the village of Jewett, Harrison County, where his academic and
executive ability ahs brought exceptional efficiency in all departments of the
school work, his progressive policies having the loyal support of the people of
the community. Mr. Dunlap was born in Cadiz Township, this county,
and is a son of John A. Dunlap, of whom individual record is made on
other pages of this volume, so that a repetition of the data is not required in
this connection.
The district school locally known as the Pike's Peak
School in Cadiz Township afforded to George A. Dunlap his preliminary
educational discipline, and thereafter he completed a preparatory course at
Franklin College, in which institution he continued his studies in the regular
academic or literary department until his graduation as a member of the class of
1905, when he received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. A year after his
graduation he became a member of the corps of instructors in his alma mater, and
he continued his successful service as a teacher in Franklin College for three
years. During the ensuing three years he was superintendent of the village
schools of New Athens, Harrison County, and he then resumed his pedagogic
service at Franklin College, where he remained three years. The following
three years marked his efficient service as superintendent of the public schools
of Hopedale, Harrison County, and in the autumn of 1918 he accepted his present
position in which his administration has proved most effective and popular.
He has high standing as one of the enthusiastic and successful representatives
of his profession in his native county, he is a republican in political
allegiance, both he and his wife are active members of the Presbyterian Church
in their home village, and he is affiliated with the lodge of Free and Accepted
Masons at Cadiz, the while both he and his wife maintain membership in the

JAMES L.
DUNLAP is to be considered fortunate in that he is the owner of the
fine old homestead farm on which he was born and reared and which is one of
the valuable places of Monroe Township, Harrison County, a portion of the
farm being included in the corporate limits of the village of Bowerston.
Of the sterling pioneer family of which he is a representative adequate
record is given in the personal sketch of his older brother, John N.
On his present farm James L. Dunlap was born
Sept. 11, 1882, the youngest of the three children of the late James and
Martha (Willett) Dunlap, and the public schools of Bowerston afforded
him his early educational advantages. He has remained continuously on
the old home farm, which comprises 111 acres, and is now the owner of the
property, which he makes a stage of progressive and successful enterprise in
the important domain of agriculture and stock-growing. He is one of
the representative farmers of the younger generation in his native township,
is a democrat in politics, is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, as well as the adjunct organization, the Daughters of Rebekah, in
which latter his wife likewise holds membership, and both are active members
of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Bowerston.
On the 6th of September, 1905, was solemnized the
marriage of Mr. Dunlap to Miss Olive E. Deselms,
daughter of Truman and Celestine (Brown) Deselms of Harrison County,
and they are popular factors in the social life of their home community, the

JOHN N. DUNLAP. Even a
cursory survey of the generic history and various personal and genealogical
sketches appearing in this publication can not fail to reveal that the
Dunlap family has played a large and worthy part in the development and
upbuilding of Harrison County, with whose annals the name has been
prominently identified for more than a century. Adam Dunlap, a
native of Ireland, was there reared to manhood, and there was solemnized his
marriage to Rebecca Work. In 1812 these sterling citizens
became pioneer settlers in Harrison County, Ohio, where they passed the
remainder of their lives upon their pioneer farm, in Athens Township.
Mr. Dunlap was one of the founders of the Nottingham Presbyterian
Church and was otherwise influential in the pioneer community. He died
Sept. 22, 1830, and his widow passed away on the 20th of May, 1846.
They became the parents of six sons and six daughters, and other reviews in
this publication give ample data concerning those who have here represented
the family in the various generations. David Dunlap, so of
Adam, was born in Pennsylvania and was a boy at the time of the family
immigration to Harrison County, where he grew to manhood on the frontier
farm. He continued his association with farm industry until his death,
and his wife, whose maiden name was Mary Ann Kail, was born in
Carroll County, a representative of a pioneer family. Of this union
were born four children, of whom James was the second in order of
birth, the date of his nativity having been Aug. 6, 1836, and his father
having been at that time a farmer in Carroll County. He was about
seven years old the time of his mother's death, in 1843, and the father
later married Jane Logan, they having continued their residence in
Carroll County until death. James Dunlap was reared in Carroll
County and early gained full experience in connection with pioneer farm
enterprise, the while he profited by the advantages afforded in the
primitive schools of the day. In 1859 he married Mary Jane McHugh,
a native of Carroll County, and she died in the autumn of 1867. The
two children of this union were Julia Violet, who died at the age of
five years, and Laura B., who became the wife of John Timmerman,
of Harrison County. Dec. 26, 1870, recorded the marriage of James
Dunlap to Martha Willett, who was born in Carroll County, Nov.
10, 1845, a daughter of James and Salinda (Newell) Willett, both of
Willett and Newell families having come to Ohio in the pioneer
days. James Dunlap finally came from Carroll County and
established his residence on a farm in Monroe Township, Harrison
County, a portion of the place being now within the corporate limits of the
Village of Bowerston. On this homestead he and his wife passed the
remainder of their lives, he having passed away on the 9th of February, 913,
and she having survived until Feb. 24, 1916. They became the parents
of three children: William Burt, born August 12, 1872, now engaged in
the real estate business in the city of Indianapolis, Indiana, married
Miss Elizabeth Hines and they became the parents of four children -
David, Helen, James Russell (died in early childhood), and Margaret
Grace; John N. was the next in order of birth; and James L.
resides on the old homestead farm. James Dunlap was a staunch
adherent of the Democratic party, and served as township trustee and member
of the school board. In addition to his property in Harrison County he
became the owner of land in Jasper County, Illinois, and in states farther
to the west. His wife was a zealous member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Bowerston.
John N. Dunlap, who is now a representative
merchant and popular and influential citizen of Bowerston, was born on the
home farm, adjoining this village, and the date of his nativity was Dec. 18,
1874. The public schools of Bowerston enlisted a due share of his
attention during the period of his boyhood and early youth, and he continued
to be associated with the work of the home farm until he had attained to the
age of twenty-two years. In the late '90s he became a clerk in the
general merchandise store then conducted by his older brother, William B.,
at Bowerston, and this connection continued until his brother sold the stock
and business four years later. Later the two brothers became
associated in repurchasing the business, and since 1906 John N. has
been the sole owner of this substantial and well conducted general
merchandise business, besides which he has been for the past several years a
stockholder and director of the Minings Safety Device Company, which
controls one of the leading industrial enterprises of Bowerston.
Mr. Dunlap is always ready to give his influence and co-operation in the
furtherance of measures and enterprises tending to advance the best
interests of his home village and county, is a democrat in political
allegiance, and is serving in 1920 as a valued member of the village council
of Bowerston. Both he and his wife are active members of the local
Methodist Episcopal Church, and he is serving on its official board.
In 1901 Mr. Dunlap married Miss Cora E.
Hines, daughter of Samuel and Catherine Hines, and she passed to
the life eternal on the 30th of August, 1909, being survived by two children
- James Arthur, and Mabel. For his second wife, Mr.
Dunlap wedded Miss Cora B. Smith, daughter of Abraham H.
Smith, of Stock Township, and the one child of this union is a daughter,
Mary Ethel.

JOHN A. DUNLAP. In the
compilation of the various personal and family reviews appearing in this
edition it has been specially gratifying to note that there remain in
Carroll and Harrison County, a large percentage of representatives citizens
who are scions of sterling pioneer families of this section of the state,
and this distinction applies to Mr. Dunlap, who owns and resides upon
the fine old homestead farm in Cadiz Township which figures as a place of
his nativity, his birth having here occurred Dec. 1, 1859. His
grandfather, Samuel Dunlap, was born and reared in Pennsylvania, a
son of Adam and Rebecca (Work) Dunlap, the former of whom was a
native of Ireland, whence he came with his parents to America when he was a
lad of ten years. He was reared and educated in Pennsylvania, where
his marriage occurred, both he and his wife having passed the closing yeasr
of their lives in Harrison County, Ohio, where they were pioneer settlers.
In the old Keystone State, about the year 1800, Samuel Dunlap married
Miss Sarah Dickerson, daughter of Thomas Dickerson, and in
1807 they came to what is now Harrison County, Ohio, and established their
home in a pioneer log cabin in the midst of the forest, Mr. Dunlap
having secured 168 acres of government land in Cadiz Township, and having
reclaimed the same into a productive farm, which continues in the possession
of the family to the present day. His death occurred Oct. 2, 1839, and
his widow passed away Nov. 11, 1858, their name having place on the roster
of the honored pioneers of Harrison County, where they lived and labored to
goodly ends. They became the parents of seven children, all of whom
are now deceased, one of the last survivors having been Mrs. Nelson
Pearce, of Cadiz Township.
Adam Dunlap, father of John A. Dunlap,
was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in 1805, and thus was a child of
about two years at the time of the family removal to Harrison County, where
he was reared under the conditions and influences of the early pioneer days,
his educational advantages being limited to the primitive subscription
schools, which he attended in his boyhood. He eventually became the
owner of his father's old homestead farm, on which he continued to reside
until his death and which is now owned and occupied by his son John A.
He added to the area of the original tract and was the owner of a
valuable landed estate of about 400 acres at the time of his death, in 1883.
He was a staunch supporter of the cause of the Democratic party, and
assisted in the erection of the Nottingham Presbyterian Church edifice, he
having been a liberal supporter of this church, of which his wife was a
zealous member.
As a young man Adam Dnnlap married Miss
Martha Thompson, daughter of David Thompson, of Cadiz Township,
and she was still a young woman at the time of her death. They became
the parents of three children: Sarah became the wife of John
Porter; Martha married Samuel M. Porter; and Mary
became the wife of John D. Barricklow. The second marriage of
Mr. Dunlap was with Miss Elizabeth Jane Spratt, who was born
in Pennsylvania but who was a child at the time of her parents' removal to
Harrison County, Ohio. She preceded her husband to eternal rest, her
death having occurred May 15, 1871, when she was forty-two years of age.
Of their children the eldest, Nancy E., now deceased, became the wife
of A. M. Ferrell, and they established their home in West Virginia;
Elizabeth Jane, deceased, became the wife of Robert Holliday,
of Moorefield Township, Harrison County; Samuel died in early
childhood; Amanda Adeline, deceased became the wife of Henry
Bartow, who survived her; John A., of this review, was the next
in order of birth; William S., deceased, was a substantial farmer in
Athens Township; and Clara Belle died at the age of eleven years.
John A. Dunlap learned in his boyhood and youth
the best methods of carrying on farm enterprise, for he early began to lend
his aid in the various activities of the old home farm, which has continued
to be the state of his progressive service as one of the reprehensive
agriculturists and stock-growers of Harrison County to the present day.
He is the owner of a well improved and valuable landed domain of 300 acres
and is one of the substantial and influential citizens of his native
township. In the live-stock department of his farm enterprise he gives
special attention to the raising of sheep and Shorthorn cattle of the best
types. In his many yeas of active association with farm industry he
has kept abreast of the advancements made in this important field of
enterprise, and as a citizen he is loyal and public-spirited. His
political allegiance is given to the Republican party, and he and his wife
are active members of the Presbyterian Church at New Athens.
On the 6th of December, 1882, was solemnized the
marriage of Mr. Dunlap to Miss Mary Hannah Chaney, who was
born and reared in Cadiz Township, a daughter of James and Margaret
Chaney. Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap have three children: George Alvin,
who is now superintendent of the public schools at Jewett, Harrison County,
married Miss Anna Dickerson and to them were born two children,
Vivian Maxine and John Albert, but the son is deceased.
Chauncey Adam married Miss Ola Garner, and they now reside in the
city of Cleveland. Clyde Beatty, of Cadiz, married Miss
Helen Grear, and they have six children - Mary Josephine, Elizabeth
Jane, Zora Leonda, Mildred Ellen, Edith May and a baby daughter.

WILLIAM F. DUNLAP, whose death
occurred Nov. 26, 1920, was a representative farmer and honored citizen of
Athens Township, Harrison County, and member of one of the oldest and most
influential pioneer families of this county. Within the pages of this
publication will be found many references to the family, which has played a
large and worthy part in the civic and industrial development and upbuilding
of he county.
William Finley Dunlap was born in Athens
Township Aug. 2, 1858, and was a son of Samuel and Mary Jane (Dunlap)
Dunlap, the former of whom was born in Athens Township Dec. 24, 1825,
and the latter of whom was born in Moorefield Township, a daughter of
Adam and Jane (Pattison) Dunlap, who were numbered among the very early
settlers of Moorefield Township, even as the parents of Samuel Dunlap
were pioneers of Athens Township, the two branches of the family still
having many representatives in Harrison County. Samuel Dunlap
was reared under the conditions and influences of the pioneer days, passed
his entire life of Athens Township, and was there the owner of a valuable
landed estate of 489 acres at the time of his death. He was a son of
Robert and Mary (Pattison) Dunlap, both natives of Pennsylvania,
where the former was born in the year 1794, a son of Adam and Rebecca
(Work) Dunlap, who came to Harrison County and settled in Athens
Township in 1812, there passing the remainder of their lives as sterling
citizens who endured their full share of the trials and hardships of life on
the frontier. Adam Dunlap was influential in pioneer politics, as a
staunch advocate of the principles of the democratic party, and he was one
of the founders of the Nottingham Presbyterian Church. His death
occurred Sept. 22, 1830, and his wife passed away May 20, 1846.
Robert Dunlap developed one of the pioneer farms of Athens township and
was one of the leaders in community affairs. As a democrat he served
in various township offices, and he and his wife were zealous members of the
Nottingham Presbyterian Church. They became the parents of six
children: Hugh P., Samuel, Nancy, Rebecca, Mary and Robert, Jr.,
all now deceased. Mr. Dunlap died Mar. 2, 1860, his wife having
passed away Sept. 29, 1852.
Samuel Dunlap, like his father and grandfather,
had the sterling qualities of mind and heart that made him specially well
equipped for leadership in community sentiment and action, and he was called
upon to serve in local offices of public trust, including those of township
clerk and township trustee. In his youth he was for a time engaged in
teaching in the rural schools, but his active career was mainly marked by
close and successful association with agricultural and live-stock industry
in his native township. He and his wife were zealous members of the
Nottingham Presbyterian Church, in which he served in various official
positions, including those of trustee, treasurer and deacon. His
marriage to Mary J. Dunlap was solemnized in 1857, and of their three
children William F., of this review, was the eldest; Emily
became the wife of John A. Jamison and is now deceased; and James
P. is deceased. Samuel Dunlap passed to the life eternal
June 29, 1882, and his widow died on the 18th of August, 1900, the remains
of both being laid to rest in the Nottingham cemetery.
William F. Dunlap acquired his early education
in the district schools of Athens Township, and he continued to be
associated with the activities of his father's farm until about four years
after the death of his father. In 1886 he purchased his homestead
farm, which he developed into a splendid estate of 569 acres, devoted to
diversified agriculture and stock-raising, with special attention given to
the raising of sheep. Mr. Dunlap long stood well to the front
as one of the leading farmers of his native county and in all of the
relations of life he well upheld the high honors of the family name.
He was a staunch supporter of the cause of the democratic party. He
served as township trustee and was influential in public affairs in his
community. He and his wife held membership in the Presbyterian Church
at New Athens.
