annals of the community. There is Irish and Scotch in the ancestry,
Francis H. Hamilton, the Irish immigrant who planted the family tree in
America, having been a weaver in Ireland. When he came to the United

lived all of his life in Harrison County, Ohio. The The
Hamilton family were Presbyterians. When Samuel D. Hamilton was

College.
Francis F. Hamilton began business activities by
knapping limestone, and later became a road builder, and continued in that line
for five years. His father and two brothers were associated with him.

school teacher, continuing thirteen years in that capacity, and in November,
1918, was elected clerk of courts of Harrison County, Ohio. He is a member

SALATHIEL M. HAMILTON.
With a fine farm of 380 acres in Moorefield Township, Harrison County, Mr.
Hamilton has secure prestige as one of the substantial and representative
agriculturists and stock growers of his native county, where he stands also as a
representative of a well known pioneer family, his father. Andrew
Hamilton having here passed his entire life and having been a successful
farmer. He was in the very prime of his useful manhood at the time of his
death, in 1865, when his son Salathiel L. was about two years of age.
Andrew Hamilton chose as the wife of his young manhood Miss Maria
Kennedy, who was born in Moorefield Township, a daughter of Return
Matthew Kennedy, who was one of the honored and influential citizens of
Moorefield Township at the time of his death, June 16, 1888. Mr.
Kennedy was born at Georgetown, District of Columbia, Mar. 15, 1803, a son
of Matthew and Christina (Hines) Hamilton, whose marriage was solemnized
in the district of Columbia. Matthew Kennedy was born in Scotland,
in 1767, and was their reared to manhood. He was a young man when he
immigrated to America and he remained near Georgetown, District of Columbia,
until 1806, when he came with his family to Jefferson County, Ohio, whence he
came to Harrison County in 1811. He took up 160 acres of Government land
in Moorefield Township, and in 1814 he removed thence to a tract of 320 acres
which he entered in section 13 of that township. There he passed the
remainder of his life, as one of the sturdy, and industrious pioneers of the
county and as an influential representative of the democratic party in this
locality. He was the father of a fine family of seventeen children, of
whom two died in infancy.
Return Matthew Kennedy was eight years old at
the time when the family home was established in Harrison County, where he was
reared to manhood under the conditions of the early pioneer period. On the
19th of February, 1824, he married Miss Jane Moore, who was born Sept.
20, 1792, a daughter of Robert and Margaret (Armstrong) Moore, and of
this union were born six children - Mary A., Howard, Robert, Jackson, Maria

parents of seven children: Matthew (deceased), Salathiel M. and
Daniel. After the death of Mr. Hamilton his widow became the
wife of John G. Moore, no children being born of this union.

Salathiel M. Hamilton gained his youthful
education in what was locally known as the Irish Ridge District School, in
Moorefield Township, and as a young man he initiated independent enterprise as a
farmer in his native township. Here abundant success has crowned his well
directed endeavors, and he is now the owner of one of the large and valuable
farm properties of his township, as noted in the opening paragraph of this
review. His birth occurred in Moorefield Township on the 9th of December,
1862. He has taken loyal interest in community affairs but has had no

BENJAMIN E. HARRISON. In
connection with his ownership of a fine farm of 100 acres in North Township,
Harrison County, Mr. Harrison has in his possession the original patent
or deed to the property, the same having been issued by the Government to
Emanuel Hendricks, bearing date of Dec. 10, 1827, and bearing the signature
of John Quincy Adams, who was then President of the United States.
They ancient document is on old-time sheepskin parchment and is an interesting
historical object.
Benjamin Edgar Harrison was born in the township
that is now his place of residence, and the date of his nativity was Oct. 5,
1869. John Harrison, of Yorkshire, England, was one of the first
English pioneer settlers in North Township, Harrison County, where he
established his home in 1816 and where he secured a tract of Government land.
In 1823, however, he returned to his native land, and there his death occurred
about ten years later, when he was seventy years of age, his wife likewise
having died in England, where he owned an excellent farm of 114 acres, in
Yorkshire. Joseph Harrison, son of John, was sixteen years
of age when he accompanied his father to Harrison County in 1816, and here he
assisted in the reclamation of the frontier farm. He returned to England
in 1823, but in 1826 he again came to Harrison County, where he developed a
productive farm in North Township, and where he continued his residence until
his death, April 13, 1878. He was first a democrat and later a republican
in politics, and his earnest religious faith was that of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. He was a man of sterling character and marked ability, and he
contributed his share to the civic and industrial development and progress of
Harrison County. In 1828 he wedded Miss Ellen Hartley, whose
father, Christopher Hartley, came from Carlton, England, and became a
pioneer farmer in Harrison County. He remained in North Township until his
death in 1864, at the venerable age of eighty-six years, and his widow was
seventy-eight years of age at the time of her death in 1867. Their
children were seven in number. Mrs. Harrison died in 1853, at the
age of forty-seven years, and was survived by two sons, John and William C.,
a third son, Joseph, having died in 1847, at the age of seven years.
In 1857, Joseph Harrison married Sarah Heron, who long survived
him and whose death occurred in 1890, when she was seventy-seven years of age.
Mr. Harrison served as township trustee and was otherwise influential in
community affairs, with high place in popular confidence and esteem.
William C. Harrison, son of Joseph and
father of the subject of this review, was born on the old family homestead in
North Township Oct. 29, 1837, and in this township he passed his entire life,
which was marked by continuous and successful association with farm industry.
As a boy and youth he attended school at Richmond, Jefferson County, where for
some time his roommate was Gen. George A. Custer, who met his death in
the historic Indian massacre that perpetuates his name, a personal letter from
General Custer to William C. Harrison being one of the prized
family heirlooms at the present time. In 1863 Mr. Harrison and his
wife established their home on the farm in North Township which continued to be
the stage of his activities until his death, in 1912. He made excellent
improvements on this place of 166 acres, and he was one of the representative
farmers and influential and honored citizens of North Township, where he served
two terms as township trustee. He was affiliated with the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, was a republican in politics and his widow, who now
resides with her youngest daughter at Dennison, Tuscarawas County, is a devoted
communicant of the Lutheran Church.
In the autumn of the year 1860 Mr. Harrison
married Miss Elizabeth Ann Waddington, who was born in Harrison County,
Dec. 4, 1841, and who is the daughter of William and Ann (Wallace) Waddington,
whose marriage was solemnized in this county in February, 1839. William
Waddington was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1815, and came to America in
1835. His wife was born in Pennsylvania and as before intimated, was a
resident of Harrison County at the time of their marriage. They
subsequently established their home on a farm in Tuscarawas County, where they
passed the remainder of their lives. They became the parents of ten
children - James, Elizabeth, John, William Henry, Mary Jane, Sarah, Amos,
Isaac, David Fillmore and Elmer. Of the children of Mr. and
Mrs. William C. Harrison the first born was Elmer, who died at the
age of eighteen months; Mary is the wife of C. Melvin Liggett,
a farmer near Leesville, Carroll County; Anna is the wife of Frank
McCullough, of Richmond, Jefferson County; Hannah died in infancy;
Benjamin Edgar, of this review, was the next in order of birth;
Laura is the widow of Homer Porter, and resides at East
Springfield, Ohio; William W. is a resident of Denver, Colorado; Grace
is the wife of Ross Stewart, of Carrollton, Ohio; Joseph is
specifically mentioned in an appending personal sketch; and Florence is
the wife of Chester Adrian of Dennison, Ohio, where he widowed mother
resides with them.
Benjamin Edgar Harrison, who is more familiarly
known by his second personal name, gained his early education in the district
schools of North Township and supplemented this by a commercial course of one
year at Scio College. From his boyhood he has been continuously associated
with farm industry in his native township, and his successful activities include
a well order dairy business. His political allegiance is given to the
republican party, and he and his wife hold membership in the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Scio, where he is also affiliated with the lodge of the Knights of
Pythias. He is alert and progressive in his farm enterprises and as a citizen
takes deep interest in all tings touching the welfare of his native county.
On the 6th of November, 1895, was solemnized the
marriage of Mr. Harrison to Miss Sadie Markley, daughter of
Mathias and Sarah Jane (Shambaugh) Markley of whom adequate mention is
made on other pages of this work, in the personal sketch of Jeremiah J.
Arbough. The personal sketch of Jeremiah J. Arbaugh, The
Markley family was one of the pioneer prominence and influence in
Harrison County, and Mathias Markley, father of Mrs. Harrison,
passed his entire life in this county, his death having occurred on his
old home farm in Rumbley Township Oct. 22, 1887, and his widow having burned him
by a number of years. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison have five children_
Byron W., Ralph, Eva, Frederick and Edgar. Byron W. Harrison daily
responded to the nation's call for service in connection with the late World
war, but was rejected one week after arriving at Camp Sherman, Ohio, by reason
of impaired vision. HE made a Jan. 5, 1921, Sue Frances Crawford
daughter of Alexander and Nannie (Mitchell)
Crawford, of North Township. Ralph Harrison, in and out of same data

JOHN HARRISON. Both by
reason of his sterling character and large and worthy achievement and his status
as a representative of one of the honored and influential pioneer families of
Harrison County, is the late John Harrison entitled to special tribute in
this history. He passed virtually his entire life on the fine old
homestead farm which was the place of his birth in North Township, this county,
and in his civic relations as well as his career as a representative of
agricultural and livestock industry in his native county he was emphatically the
apostle of progress, true and earnest in all of the relations of life and well
worthy of the high esteem in which he was uniformly held. He was born July
10, 1830, on the ancestral farmstead in North Township, and on this place his
death occurred Dec. 2, 1908.
John Harrison was a son of Joseph and Ellen
(Hartley) Harrison, both natives of England. Joseph Harrison
was born on a fine old homestead known as Stubbens Farm, near Otley,
Yorkshire, England, and was a son of John Harrison who first came from
England to the United States in 1814 and who at the time made his way as far to
the west as Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After his return to England he there
remained until 1816, when he came again to America and soon afterward became the
first representative of the English pioneer families in North Township, Harrison
County. In 1823 he returned to his native land, and there his death
occurred about ten years later, when he was seventy years of age. He was
a farmer by occupation during his entire active career, and in England was the
owner of an excellent farm of 114 acres of Yorkshire. His wife like wise
passed the closing years of her life in England.
Joseph Harrison was a youth of sixteen years
when he came with his father to the United States in 1816, and the home was
established in a pioneer log cabin on a tract of about eight acres of timbered
land in North Township, Harrison County, where he did well his part in felling
the forest trees and making the tract available for cultivation. In 1823
he returned with his father to England, but in 1826 he came again to the pioneer
farm in North Township, Harrison County. In 1828 he here wedded Miss
Ellen Hartley, daughter of Christopher Hartley, who came from
Carlton, England, and became a pioneer settler in Harrison County, Ohio, where
he secured land in North Township and where his family joined him in 1820.
Here he died in 1864, at the venerable age of eighty-six years, and his wife,
Mary, passed away in 1867, aged seventy-eight years, their children having been
seven in number. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Harrison,
settled on the farm which later became the property of their son John,
subject of this memoir, and in 1835 they here replaced the primitive log house
with a substantial frame building. Here Mrs. Harrison died in the
year 1853, aged forty-seven years, and of their three children John and
William became substantial farmers of North Township, the third son
Joseph, Jr., having died in 1847, at the age of seven years. In 1857
Joseph Harrison contracted a second marriage, when Sarah Heron
became his wife, and he remained on his old home farm until his death, April 13,
1878, his widow having long survived him and having passed away in 1890, at the
age of seventy-seven years. Both were earnest members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, as was also the first wife. Joseph Harrison was a
democrat until the anti-slavery movement led him in 1846 to transfer his
alliance to the free-soil party, from which he withdrew to ally himself with the
republican party at the time of its organization. He had no desire for
public office, but his civic loyalty caused him to give effective service as
township trustee of North Township.
John Harrison gained his early education by
attending winter sessions of the pioneer schools, and during the intervening
summer seasons he found his youthful services in requisition in connection with
the work of the home farm. He became not only the largest landholder in
North Township, with a finely improved farm of 420 acres, but he also owned a
farm of 290 acres in Carroll County. He was one of the foremost and most
successful exponents of livestock industry in this section of the state, was for
a number of years a leader in the raising of sheep in Harrison County, but later
gave his attention largely to dairy farming, in which connection he shipped
large quantities of milk to Pittsburgh and other points, his shipment of milk in
the year 1890 having aggregated nearly 15,000 gallons. Mr. Harrison
was emphatically a man of prescience, enterprise and progressiveness, and in
this connection it is interesting to record that he introduced the first mowing
machine placed in operation in North Township, in 1857, besides which he
manufactured and installed on his farm the first tile drain pipe in the
township, his manufacturing of drain tile having been successfully continued for
eleven years, within which he supplied much of the tiling utilized in his
township. For fully half a century John Harrison rode a mowing
machine in each successive season, and he took great pride and satisfaction in
his successful association with farm industry, in connection with which he was a
leader in progressive movements in this section of the Buckeye State. On
his farm he raised the largest steer ever shipped out of Harrison County, this
animal having been shipped to Pittsburgh and having there tipped the scales at a
weight of 3,250 pounds.
In politics Mr. Harrison became a stalwart
advocate and supporter of the principles of the republican party, and in the
climacteric period leading up to the Civil war he was a staunch abolitionist.
A man of well fortified convictions, he never lacked the courage of the same,
and his wife was guided and governed by the highest principles, so that to him
was justly accorded the respect and confidence of his fellow men. His
widow survived until Aug. 4, 1920. She was a devoted member of the
Presbyterian Church.
On the 22d of April, 1852, was solemnized the marriage
of John Harrison to Miss Euphemia Patterson, who was born and
reared in Carroll County and who was a daughter of John and Isabella
(McMillan) Patterson, the latter of whom died Sept. 13, 1859, and the former
died Nov. 17, 1846. They were married Nov. 25, 1824. The
Patterson family was founded in Carroll County in the early part of the
nineteenth century. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison became the parents
of twelve children, concerning whom brief record is here given: Joseph T.,
who is engaged in the practice of law, as one of the representative members of
the bar in the City of Cincinnati, married Miss Vernelia Smith, and they
have one child, Louis Kerper. James M., who owns and resides
upon a fine ranch in the State of Washington, is, in 1920, serving his
second term as representative of Skagit County in the Legislature of that state.
He married Miss Ora Holmes, and they have three children - George,
Mina and John. John P., born Mar. 31, 1857 died Aug. 2,
1895. Charles S. was a resident of the State of Kansas at the time
of his death on Mar. 21, 1899. He was born Mar. 22, 1858.
Isabella and William were twins, born June 22,1860. Isabella
died Mar. 24, 1896, and William died December 11, 1909. Isabella
became the wife of Nelson Carter and was a resident of Marshall
County, Kansas, at the time of her death. Her twin brother, William
was a resident of California for a number of years prior to his death.
Ella continued to reside in Harrison County until her death, in August, 1909.
Abraham L., who was born Feb. 28, 1864, died at Gunnison, Colorado, in
the year 1882. Thaddeus S. is associated with his brother Milton
B. in the management of the fine old home farm in North Township.
Effie is the wife of Sherman McKlveen, of Scio, this county.
Milton B. is the youngest of the sons. Virginia is the wife of
Harry H. Whittaker, of Stock Township.
Thaddeus S. and Milton . Harrison have,
maintained a partnership alliance in the ownership and operation of the old home
farm since 1909, and the aggregate area of their holdings is 254
acres. They are well upholding the prestige of the family name as
progressive agriculturists and stock-growers and as loyal and public-spirited
citizens. They give special attention to the raising of pure-blood
Aberdeen Angus cattle, and in this department of farm enterprise they have been
successful in their activities during a period of more than a decade.
Thaddeus S. is numbered among the eligible bachelors of his native county.
Milton B. married Miss Alice Viola Haines, daughter of George
D. Haines of whom individual mention is made in the following sketch of this
volume, and the four children of this union are: Wilbur L., Famy Marie,
Delmar S. and Virginia Belle.

JOSEPH HARRISON,
younger brother of Benjamin Edgar Harrison, in whose personal sketch
preceding this sketch, is given adequate record concerning the family
history, was born on the farm which is his present place of residence, in
North Township, Harrison County, and the date of his nativity was Mar. 24,
1880. He has remained continuously on the old home farm, and his
youthful education was acquired in the public schools of his native
township. His practical experience in connection with farm activities
has well qualified him for successful enterprise in this important
field of endeavor, and he is one of the representative agriculturists and
stock-raisers of the younger generation in North Township. His
political allegiance is given to the republican party, and he and his wife
hold membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
The year 1910 recorded the marriage of Mr. Harrison
to Miss Eva Carpenter, who was born and reared in Guernsey
County, and who is a daughter of Frederick and Mary (McCourt) Carpenter.

ROSS M. HAWTHORN is
another of the native sons of Harrison County who is giving vigorous and
effective impetus to farm industry in this county, and since May, 1911, he
has staged his activities on his present excellent farm of 130 acres in
Short Creek Township. He was born in this township Dec. 17, 1868, and
is the eldest in a family of three children, his next younger brother being
Reed I., now a resident of the State of Indiana, near South Bend, and
the youngest of the three being William Boyd Hawthorn, who is
individually represented on the other pages of this work.
Mr. Hawthorn is a son of James Lemmon and
Jennie (McLaughlin) Hawthorn, whose marriage was solemnized on the 18th
of Oct., 1866, and who now reside at Harrisville, this county, where the
father is living retired. The mother is a representative of a pioneer
family of which due record is given in this publication.
James L. Hawthorn was born in Mount Pleasant
Township Jefferson County, Ohio, May 14, 1844, was there reared and educated
and there learned in his youth the trade of blacksmith. During the
early years of the Civil war he was a Government blacksmith, stationed at
Nashville. In the winter of 1862 he engaged in the work of his trade
at Harrisville, Harrison County, where he continued as the sturdy and
honored village blacksmith until 1900, when he purchased and removed to a
farm adjoining that village. He continued the management of the farm
until 1908, when he sold the property and returned to Harrisville, where he
has since lived retired. He is a son of William and Mary (Lemmon)
Hawthorn, the former of whom was born in Mount Pleasant Township,
Jefferson County, in March, 1817. His death occurred in 1896.
His wife was born in 1822 in Harrison County and is also deceased. She
was a daughter of Griffith Lemmon, who was a native of Ireland
and a sterling pioneer settler in Harrison County. William
Hawthorn was a son of John Hawthorn, who was born on the
vessel on which his parents took passage in immigrating from Ireland to
America, and he became an early settler in Jefferson County, Ohio, where he
passed the residue of his life. William Hawthorn learned in his
youth the cooper's trade, but the greater part of his active life was given
to farm enterprise. Both he and his wife were zealous members of the
United Presbyterian Church. They became the parents of four children -
Martha, James, Alexander and Sheridan.
Ross M. Hawthorn is indebted to the public schools
of Harrisville for his early educational discipline, and as a young man he
engaged in farming in Jefferson County. He continued his activities in
this line six years, and for two years thereafter was engaged in the lumber
business at Adena, that county. In 1902 he returned to Harrisville,
where he maintained his home until 1911 and where he gave the most of his
time during this period to the lumber business. In May, 1911, as
previously noted, he removed to his present farm, where he has since
continued his activities as one of the progressive and successful
agriculturists and stock-growers of his native township and county. He
is a republican in politics and he and his wife and son hold membership in
the United Presbyterian Church at Harrisville.
April 29, 1891, recorded the marriage of Mr.
Hawthorn to Miss Elizabeth L. Simpson, daughter of Edward
and Catherine Simpson, of Harrison County, and she was summoned to the

WILLIAM BOYD HAWTHORNE,
one of the representative farmers of the younger generation in Short Creek
Township, Harrison County, was born in this township on the 21st of
December, 1883, and is a scion of a family whose name has been worthily
linked with the history of eastern canal Ohio for more than a century.
He is a son of James L. Hawthorne, who was born in Mount Pleasant
Township, Jefferson County, Ohio, May 14, 1844. William Hawthorne,
father of James L., likewise was a native of Mount Pleasant Township,
where he was born in March, 1817, his death having occurred in 1896.
His wife, whose maiden name was Mary Lemmon, was born in Short Creek
Township, Harrison County, in 1822, and was about eighty years of age at the
time of her death. Her father, Griffith Lemmon, a native of
Ireland, was one of hte very early settlers of Harrison County.
William Hawthorne was a son of John Hawthorne, who was born on
shipboard while his parents were voyaging from their native Ireland to
America, where he was reared to manhood. He became one of the pioneer
farmers of Jefferson County, Ohio, where he endured the trials and
vicissitudes of frontier life and where he remained until his death.
As a young man William Hawthorne learned and
followed the cooper's trade, but the major part of his active career was
marked by close association with the basic industry of agriculture.
Both he and his wife were zealous members of the United Presbyterian Church.
Their children were four in number - Martha, James Lemmon, Alexander
and Sheridan.
James Lemmon Hawthorne gained his early
education in the common schools of Jefferson County and at the age of
seventeen years he entered upon an apprenticeship to the trade of
blacksmith. In the winter of 1861 he established his residence at
Harrisville, Harrison County, where he opened a blacksmith shop and where he
continued his vigorous application to the work of his trade until the year
1900, when he removed to a farm adjoining the village and turned his
attention to agricultural and live-stock enterprise. In 1908 he sold
his farm of 140 acres, and since that time he has lived retired in the
village of Harrisville, in the enjoyment of the peace and prosperity that
are the fitting reward for his former years of earnest endeavor.
On the 18th of October, 1866, was solemnized
the marriage of James L. Hawthorne to Miss Jennie McLaughlin,
a daughter of William McLaughlin. She was born and reared in
Harrison County and concerning the family adequate record is given on other
pages, in the sketch of Wilmer W. McLaughlin. Mr. and Mrs.
Hawthorne are members of the United Presbyterian Church in their home
village, and his political allegiance is given to the republican party.
Of their three children the eldest is Ross M., who is a farmer in
Short Creek Township; Reed I. is now a resident of South Bend,
Indiana; and William Boyd is the immediate subject of this sketch, he
being familiarly known by his second personal name.
William Boyd Hawthorne acquired his early
education in the excellent public schools of Harrisville, and in 1900, the
year which marked his father's retirement from the work of his trade and
assumption of farm activities, he himself initiated independent activities
as a farmer in Short Creek Township. Here he ha since continued
his successful and progressive enterprise as an agriculturist and
stock-grower, and in 1917 he purchased and established his residence on his
present well-improved farm, which comprises 185 acres of the excellent land
of Short Creek Township. In the live-stock department of his farm
industry Mr. Hawthorne is giving special attention to the breeding
and raising of registered Shorthorn and Holstein cattle. He is a
republican in political adherency and he and his wife hold membership in the
First Presbyterian Church at Adena, Jefferson County.
April, 1904, recorded the marriage of Mr. Hawthorne
to Miss Lydia Townsend, daughter of David and Adaline (Morris)
Townsend, of Harrison County, and the three children of this union are
Wilmer Townsend, David Forrest and James Binford.

Bowerston. For fifteen years he was a member of the township board
of education, and for one term was township trustee. A man of the
strictest probity, he has lived up tothe highest conceptions of
Christian manhood, and deserves the esteem in which he is held by his
neighbors.

Heavilin, was born in Monroe Township, Harrison County, Ohio, and
his wife, Mary J. (Borland) Chaney was born in the same township,
being a daughter of James Borland. The grandfather of
Mrs. Heavilin, Joshua Chaney, was one of the very early farmers of
Monroe Township, and became well known in Harrison County.
Henry William Chaney lived all of his active years in his native
township, but the last few years of his life were spent at Dennison,
Ohio. He and his wife had the following children: Lucy
T., Mary Bell, Ada Jane died when young, James B. William H.
lives in South Bend, Indiana, Olive B., Loris died when Young,
Jessie D., Loren L. and Alpha A. The Chaneys

and learned to be a practical farmer under his father's watchful
supervision. He remained at home until his marriage, which
occurred Apr. 20, 1904, when he was united with Jennie Fisher, a
daughter of Ozias and Mary (Wyandt) Fisher.

HENRY HEAVILIN has been a
resident of Harrison County from the time of his birth, which occurred in

enterprise was gained in Cadiz Township, in the rural schools of which he
acquired his youthful education. In 1878 he removed to his present
homestead farm, which comprises 184 acres, and the many improvements which
he has made on the place. Including the erection of the commodious and
attractive house and other farm buildings, give evidence of the thrift and
prosperity that have attended his well ordered activities as one of the
substantial farmers of his native counts. He has always shown loyal
interest in and given support to measures and enterprises advanced for the
general good of the community and while he has had no ambition for political
activities or public office he is aligned as a staunch supporter of the
cause of the republican party, both he and his wife holding membership in
the Methodist Episcopal "Church.

JOHN H. HENDERSON, who is
successfully engaged in the real-estate and insurance business at Scio,
Harrison County, is one of the representative citizens of this village and
served several years as clerk of its municipal government. He was born
in Jefferson County, Ohio, Nov. 17, 1872, and is a son of Oliver W. and
Margaret (Guiney) Henderson, the former of whom was born in Ireland on
the 12th of March, 1844, and the latter was born in Archer Township,
Harrison County, Ohio, Apr. 15, 1846. Oliver W. Henderson was a
lad of about fourteen years when the family immigrated to America in 1858,
and his father William Henderson, settled on a farm in Cadiz
Township, Harrison County, Ohio, where he remained the greater part of the
time during the remainder of his life, he having been for a short period a
resident of Carroll County. He and his wife were active members of the
Presbyterian Church. They became the parents of five children -
Sarah, Jane, Oliver W., Joseph and Bell.
Oliver W. Henderson was for a time engaged in farm
enterprise in Jefferson County, but the major part of his active career was
devoted to farm industry in Harrison County. He is now living retired,
and he and his wife reside in the home of their younger son, the subject of
this review. The elder of their two children, is William A.,
who is a resident of Scio, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson are

years. From 1898 to 1905 he conducted a general store at Smithdale,
Harrison County, where he also served as postmaster, and from 1905 to 1910

WALTER J. HENDERSON is
the owner of one of the many admirable farms that mark Archer Township,
Harrison County, as a center of Progressive and prosperous industry along
agricultural and live-stock lines, and his popularity and prominence in his
home community is shown by the fact that he is now serving as township
clerk, besides having previously held the office of township trustee and
that of member of the township school board.
Mr. Henderson was born at Leesville, Carroll
County, Ohio, on the 13th of July, 1870, but has the distinction of being a
representative of one of the honored pioneer families of Harrison County.
He is a son of John C. and Mahala P. (Fisher) Henderson, the former
of whom died on the 31st of January, 1919, and the latter died Oct. 8, 1877.
Of the children of this union the eldest is Hester Virginia, who is
the wife of Ephraim Thompson, of Warren, Trumbull County; James
Homer, who was born July 1, 1868, died Oct. 14, 1905, the maiden name of
his wife having been Ida Worstell; Walter J., of this review, was the
next in order of birth; Susie Rebecca is the wife of Joel Cramblet,
of Stock Township, Harrison County; Robert H. married Miss
Gertrude Welsh, and they now reside in the City of Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania.
John C. Henderson, who achieved marked success
as a teacher and civil engineer, was born in North Township, Harrison
County, July 21, 1839, and was a son of James and Susanna (McClintock)
Henderson. James Henderson was born in Indiana County,
Pennsylvania, Sept. 10, 1813, and was four years of age when his parents
became pioneer settlers in Harrison County, Ohio. He was a son of
John Henderson, who was born in Ireland and who came with his parents to
America when he was sixteen years of age. Upon arriving in this
country he ran away from his parents, who made a futile search for him and
who finally returned to their native land without him. Many years
later one of his brothers came to the United States, and through him he
measurably renewed the family associations of his childhood. After
eluding his parents, in a boyish spirit of adventure, John Henderson
made his way to Maryland, in which state was eventually solemnized his
marriage to the doubly orphaned daughter of George Henderson, who had
bequeathed to her a large amount of property, she having been in the home of
her uncle at the time of her marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson
removed to Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and later became early settlers in
Rumley Township, Harrison County, Ohio, where Mr. Henderson purchased
a large tract of land and improved a fine farm. There his death
occurred in February, 1862, and his widow survived until May 13, 1877.
They became parents of four sons and seven daughters, nearly all of whom
remained in Harrison County.
James Henderson remained with his parents until
October, 1838, when he married Miss Susanna McClintock, of Monroe
Township. Thereafter he followed the trades of carpenter and
cabinetmaker at Hanover, Harrison County, until 1857, when he purchased and
removed to a farm in that vicinity. There he passed the remainder of
his life, his death having occurred Nov. 1, 1889, and his widow having
survived him by a number of years. Both were members of the
Presbyterian Church and he was a democrat in politics. Though not a
seeker of such preferments, he was called upon to serve in various offices
of local order. His wife was a daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth
(Fisher) McClintock, the former a native of County Cork, Ireland.
Mr. McClintock and his wife were married in Harrison County, and here
passed the remainder of their lives on their farm in North Township, their
children having been ten in number.
John C. Henderson gained his early education in
the common schools of Harrison County, and supplemented this by a thorough
course in New Hagerstown Academy in Carroll County, where he fitted himself
both for teaching and for practical work as a surveyor. He followed
the pedagogic profession with marked success for nearly thirty years, and
also did an appreciable amount of important surveying service. He
passed the closing years of his life on the old Schaffer farm in
Harrison County. He was a staunch democrat, was affiliated with the
Masonic fraternity and was a member of the Presbyterian Church. A man
of noble character and high intellectual attainments, he made his life count
in worthy achievement and ever commanded the high regard of all who knew
him. At the age of twenty-three years he wedded Miss Hester Fisher,
of North Township, and she died Jan. 4, 1865, her only child having died on
the 5th of the following November. Apr. 2, 1866, recorded the marriage
of Mr. Henderson to Miss Mahala P. Fisher, a sister of his
first wife, and, as previously noted in this review, her death occurred in
1877, mention having also been made of the children of this union.
Mrs. Henderson was, like her husband, a devout member of the
Presbyterian Church. In 1879 Mr. Henderson married Miss
Sarah, a daughter of George McPeck, of Archer Township, and she
survives him, no children having been born of this marriage.
Walter J. Henderson was but seven years old at
the time of his mother's death and was but two years old when his parents
returned from Carroll County to Harrison County, where he was reared to
manhood and where he has resided continuously in Archer Township save for a
period of three years passed in Cadiz Township. In addition to the
advantages of the public schools he attended Scio College one term and was
for a similar period a student in Franklin College at New Athens, besides
which he had the privilege of being neared in a home of distinctive culture
and high ideals. He is now the owner of a well improved farm of 131
acres and is one of the successful exponents of agriculture and live-stock
enterprise in Archer Township, the while he has secured vantage place in
popular confidence and esteem and is leader in community affairs. His
political allegiance is given to the democratic party, and he and his wife
are active members of the Ridge Presbyterian Church.
On the 13th of February, 1895, was solemnized the
marriage of Mr. Henderson to Miss Eva M. Dosson, daughter of
Alexander and Margaret (Shambaugh) Dosson, of Harrison County, and
they have five children - Mahala C., Earl B., Joseph S., Gladys R.
and Ralph Clement. Mahala C. is the wife of Frederick Greer,
of Cadiz, and now resides at Holliday's Cove, West Virginia. They have
three children - Lloyd A., Ida Elizabeth and Mary Margaret.

WILLIAM
H. HENDERSON has resided continuously, save for a period of twelve
years during which he was engaged in the photographic business at Scio, on
the old homestead farm which was the place of his birth. This place,
comprising 130 acres, is one of the valuable farms of North Township,
Harrison County, and its owner was here born on the 7th of November, 1859, a
representative of one of the sterling pioneer families of this township.
John Henderson, grandfather of William Homer Henderson of this
review, was born in Ireland and was sixteen years old at the time of the
family immigration to America. He was reared to manhood in Maryland,
after having run away from his parents and the other members of the family,
who did not gain trace of him till many years later. This independent
youth finally went to Hagerstown, Maryland, where he formed the acquaintance
of a daughter of George Henderson, who is of Scotch lineage.
This young woman became his wife, she having been a girl at the time of her
parents' death and having received from them a goodly heritage of property.
From Maryland the young couple removed to Indiana County, Pennsylvania,
where they remained until 1816, when they came to Harrison County, Ohio, and
became pioneer settlers in Rumley Township, where Mr. Henderson
secured a large tract of land and reclaimed a productive farm from the
forest wilds. On this frontier homestead he continued to reside until
his death, in February, 1862, and his widow passed away May 13, 1877.
They became the parents of four sons and seven daughters, and all but one of
the number attained to years of maturity, the while nearly all continued
their residence in Harrison County after establishing homes of their own.
James Henderson, son of John, was born in
Indiana County, Pennsylvania, Sept. 10, 1813, and was about four years old
at the time of the family removal to Harrison county, Ohio where he was
reared on the pioneer farm and afforded the advantages of the primitive
schools of the period. As a young man he learned the carpenter's
trade, at which he became a specially skillful workman. Though he
developed one of the excellent farms of North Township, he continued for
many years to give more or less attention to the work of his trade. He
and his wife ware earnest members of the Presbyterian Church. Of him
the following appreciative estimate has been written: "Kind of heart
and genial in disposition, he was an agreeable companion and excellent
neighbor. He was noted for his great hospitality in his home, and his
kindness to the poor and his sympathy for those in affliction or distress
knew no limit. He was always ready to help in time of need."
In October, 1838, was solemnized the marriage of
James Henderson to Miss Susannah McClintock, of Monroe Township,
she having been a daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Fisher) McClintock,
whose marriage was solemnized in Harrison County. Mr. McClintock
was a child at the time of his parents' immigration from Ireland to the
United States. He developed one of the excellent pioneer farms of
Monroe Township, and there he and his wife remained until their deaths,
their children having been ten in number. Mr. McClintock was a
member o the Presbyterian Church and his wife of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, in the faith of which she was reared. Her parents were early
settlers of Harrison County. James Henderson remained on his
farm until his death, on the 1st of November, 1889, and his widow survived
until the year 1893. Concerning their children, the following brief
record is consistently entered: John C. was one of the
representative farmers of North Township at the time of his death in
December, 1918, his birth having occurred July 21, 1839; Thomas M.
died in the year 1873; Alexander served as a member of an Ohio
regiment under enlistment for a term of one hundred days in the Civil war.
Elizabeth Jane, who became the wife of John Lyle, died in
1918; George died in the year 1903; Lovina became the wife of
John R. McCauley, and is now deceased; Barbara is the wife of
Dr. Judson T. Beall; Henry W. died in the year 1867; and William
Homer, subject of this review, is the youngest of the number.
William Homer Henderson gained his early
education in the public schools of Hanover, which village is situated near
the old home farm on which he was born and reared and on which he now
resides. Here he has been continuously identified with agricultural
and live stock industry from his early youth save for a period of twelve
years devoted to the photographic business in the village of Scio, this
county. He keeps the farm of 130 acres up to high standard and is one
of the highly esteemed citizens of his native county. He is a democrat
in politics and served two years as trustee of North Township. For
fully a quarter of a century he has served as an elder of the Ridge
Presbyterian Church, in which he and his wife are zealous and
influential members.
Nov. 12, 1915, recorded the marriage of Mr.
Henderson to Miss Laura McCombs, daughter of Wesley McCombs,
of whom specific mention is made on other pages of this volume. Mr.
and Mrs. Henderson have one child, Emma Almeda.

ALFRED B. HILDRETH.
It is only since 1909 that Alfred B. Hildreth, of Athens Township,
has been a resident of Harrison County, Ohio. There must be something
in a name, William Shakespeare
notwithstanding, as Mr. Hildreth was born Dec. 10, 1884, in Harrison
County, West Virginia. He is a son of Elmer and Mary Hildreth,
of West Virginia. She is a daughter of Joseph A. and Martha
(Wadsworth) Hildreth. The grandfather and grandmother were
John and Sallie (Criss) Hildreth.
Elmer Hildreth is a farmer and still lives in
Harrison County, West Virginia. Alfred B. Hildreth is the
oldest child, the others being Leslie C., Snoye G., Carl, Cole, Roy
and Estema. The family are members of the Christian Church.
A. B. Hildreth, as was the rest of the family, was educated in the
public schools of West Virginia.
On May 18, 1908, A. B. Hildreth married
Jennie Freeland, a daughter of Caleb and Sarepta Freeland.
Their children are: Vance, born Dec. 22, 1913, and Irene Annette,
born August 22, 1918. Within a year after their marriage
Mr. and Mrs. Hildreth bought a farm of ninety-one acres in Athens
Township, on the Cadiz and New Athens road, where he is engaged in general
farming and the livestock business. While he has always lived in
Harrison County, he has lived in both West Virginia and Ohio.

DEMPSEY S. HINES
is effectively maintaining both as a citizen of loyalty and public spirit
and as a successful exponent of agricultural industry the distinctive honors
of a family name that has been linked with the history of Harrison County
for more than a century, and it is pleasing to record that his activities as
a farmer are staged on the fine old homestead in Cadiz Township upon which
his great-grandfather, Rudolph Hines, settled in 1814.
Rudolph Hines was born in Germany, a son of
John Hines, and was a youth when he accompanied his parents to America,
prior to the War of the Revolution, in which he took part as a valiant young
soldier in the Continental Line. He came to Ohio in the early part of
the first decade of the nineteenth century, as is demonstrated by the fact
that it is a matter of record that in 1806 he removed with his family from
Steubenville, Jefferson County, this state, into Virginia, where he was
engaged in farming about eight years, within which time he saw the first
steamboat pass down the Ohio River. In the spring of 1914 he came with
his family to Harrison County and established his home in a pioneer log
house that long remained a landmark in Cadiz Township, on the farm now owned
and occupied by his grandson Dempsey S., of this sketch. He reclaimed
much of his land from the virgin forest and continued to occupy the little
log house until his death, at the age of ninety yeas, his wife surviving him
but a short time. They were the parents of twelve children, all of
whom are now deceased.
William Hines, son of Rudolph and Sarah
(Huff) Hines, was born in Allegany County, Maryland, Mar. 19, 1800, and
was four years old when the family home was established at Steubenville,
Ohio, whence about one year later removal was made to Virginia, as above
noted. Thus he was about twelve years of age when the family home was
established in Harrison County, Ohio, where he was reared to manhood on the
pioneer farm, and where on the 15th of February, 1827, was solemnized his
marriage to Isabella, daughter of John and Jane (Mahon) Hitchcock,
the former a native of Maryland and the latter of Ireland, she having been a
child at the time of the family immigration to America, and the parents of
her husband likewise having been natives of the Emerald Isle.
William Hines continued to reside upon the old home farm of his father
until he too was summoned to eternal rest, Sept. 8, 1887, his wife having
survived him by more than a decade, her death having occurred Apr. 15, 1899.
Mr. Hines was eighty-seven years of age at the time of his death, and
was one of the best known and most highly honored pioneer citizens of the
county, where his valuable landed estate comprised about 380 acres at the
time of his death. His widow was born Jan. 24, 1806, and thus was
ninety-three yeas of age when she passed from the stage of mortal life,
secure in the reverent affection of all who knew her. They were
earnest members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in politics
Mr. Hines was first a whig and later a republican. Of the children
the eldest was John R., who was born May 14, 1828, and who was a
resident of of Iowa at the time of his death; Sarah Jane, born
Oct. 29, 1830, became the wife of Gilespie Haverfield and she died in
January, 1915; the next child, a son, died in infancy; Lemuel Browning,
born Apr. 15, 1834, finally established his home in the state of California,
and he died in the fall of this sketch, will be more definitely mentioned in
a following paragraph; Mary Ellen, born Jan. 13, 1839, became the
wife of Joseph McBeth, of Deersville, Harrison County, and she died
Jan. 13, 1920; Samuel M., born Apr. 27, 1841, was a successful farmer
in Nottingham Township, Harrison County, and his death occurred Oct. 29,
1901; James M. was born Mar. 5, 1844, and died in May, 1920;
Thomas H., was born July 5, 1847, and died on the 30th of the following
December; and Ezra Lawson, who was born May 20, 1851, died May 17,
1865.
William Fletcher Hines was born on the old
homestead in Cadiz Township Feb. 28, 1837, and he received the advantages of
the common schools of the locality and period. He remained on the home
farm until the outbreak of the Civil War, when, in 1861, he enlisted as a
member of Company F, Ninety-eighth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, which was
assigned to the Army of the Cumberland and with which he continued in active
service nearly three years. He participated in sixteen major battles,
besides many skirmishes and other minor engagements. He was slightly
wounded in one engagement, but this did not long incapacitate him, but it
was his misfortune, however, to have contracted typhoid fever, which caused
him to be confined four months in a military hospital at Nashville,
Tennessee. Upon his recovery he rejoined his regiment, with which he
remained until the close of the war, his honorable discharge having been
received June 10, 1865.
After the close of his faithful and gallant service as
a soldier of the Union Mr. Hines returned to the home farm, and on
the 7th of February, 1867, was united in marriage to Miss Christina
Spiker, who likewise was born and reared in Harrison County, a daughter
of Christopher and Ara (Carnes) Spiker, who were pioneers of the
county, where the father died in 1870 and the mother in 1879.
William F. Hines continued his active operations as one of the
representative farmers of Cadiz Township until 1911, when he removed with
his wife to Cadiz, where he lived retired until his death, which occurred
Dec. 7, 1917, and where his widow still resides where he lived until his
death, which occurred Dec. 7, 1917, and where his widow still resides.
His farm, a part of the land entered by his grandfather, is now occupied by
his son Dempsey S. In politics Mr. Hines was unfaltering
in his allegiance to the Republican party, he was affiliated with the Grand
Army of the Republic, and his religious faith was that of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, of which his venerable widow likewise is a devoted member.
They became the parents of five children: Ara Bell is the wife
of Oliver B. Tipton, of Harrison County; Dempsey S.
immediately subject of hits review, was the next in order of birth;
Philip Ora is a resident of the city of Chicago; Mary Maude is
the wife of D. R. Baker, of Harrison County; and Lemuel Oscar
died in childhood.
Dempsey S. Hines was born near the farm upon
which he now resides, and the date of his nativity was Jan. 21, 1869.
His early education was secured in the public schools of Cadiz Township, and
for the past twenty years he has had the active management of the old
homestead farm on which his great-grandfather settled more than a century
ago. Here he now owns 102 acres, and he is one of the enterprising and
progressive agriculturists and stock-growers of his native county. He
has served since 1918 as a member of the Board of Trustees of Cadiz
Township, and is a loyal and liberal in support of measures advanced for the
general good of his home allegiance being given to the Republican party and
both he and his wife are active members of Asbury Chapel of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, not far distance from their attractive rural home.
Aug. 3, 1898, recorded the marriage of D. R. Hines
to Miss Myrtle Belle Smith, daughter of Frank and Sarah Elizabeth
(Johnson) Smith, of Cadiz Township, and the two children of this union
are Wilma Frances, born June 1, 1899, and Pauline Bernice,
born May 3, 1913. Wilma married on Jan. 21, 1920, William
McClellan Patterson, son of William N. Patterson, of Harrison
County.

J. ELMER HINES may well take
pride in the status that is his as one of the substantial representatives of
agricultural and live-stock industry in Archer Township, Harrison County,
for here he has maintained his home from the time of his birth and here he
stands as a popular scion of a family that has been one of prominence in
connection with civic and farm activities in Archer Township for fully
ninety years. His grandfather, Jacob Hines, was born in
Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he was reared to manhood and where
was solemnized his marriage to Miss Susanna Brough. In 1830 the
young couple came to Harrison County, Ohio, where Jacob Hines
purchased 100 acres of land in Archer Township, his original dwelling having
been the pioneer log house erected by having been the pioneer log house
erected by the former owner. He reclaimed his land into one of the
productive farms of the county and became one of the influential and horned
men of his community. He was a democrat in politics and was called
upon to serve in various township offices, including those of trustee and
member of the school board of his district. He was born in the year
1801, and thus was fifty three years of age at the time of his death, which
occurred on the 21st of December, 1854, his widow attaining to the age of
eighty-two years and her death occurring Oct. 20, 1885. Both were
active members of the Presbyterian Church. Their children were nine in
number: Betsey, George, Margaret, Bruce, Peter, Amos, John, Abbie and
Susan.
Peter Hines was born in Archer Township,
where he passed his entire life and where he gained, through his own ability
and efforts, substantial prosperity in connection with farm industry.
He not only purchased eventually the interests of the other heirs to the old
home farm of his parents but also bought other land, with the result that he
finally became the owner of a well improved and valuable farm estate of more
than 200 acres, all in Archer Township. In politics he gave unswerving
support to the principles of the democratic party, and both he and his wife
were zealous members of the Presbyterian Church. On the 22d of
October, 1857, was solemnized the marriage of Peter Hines to Miss
Maria Webster, daughter of the late John Webster, of Rumley
Township, this county. The death of both occurred in the year 1901,
Mr. Hines having passed away on the 4th of March and his widow having
died in the following September. They became the parents of two sons,
John Leonard and Jacob Elmer, the latter being the immediate
subject of this sketch and John Leonard being individually mentioned
on other pages.
J. Elmer Hines was born in Archer
Township on the 27th of February, 1871, and is fourteen years the junior of
his only brother. He gained his early education in the public schools
of his native township, and has remained from the time of his birth on the
fine old homestead farm, which he has made a center of most progressive
enterprise in agriculture and stock-growing his property comprising 214
acres of most fertile and productive land, with the best of improvements,
including substantial and well-kept farm buildings. He is a loyal
supporter of measures and enterprises tending to advance the best interests
of his home community and native county, is a democrat in political
allegiance, and he and his wife hold membership in the Presbyterian Church.
Mrs. Hines is the gracious and popular chatelaine of one of the
beautiful rural homes of the county, and her cultured tastes give her
leadership in the social life of the home community. Mr. and Mrs.
Hines have one child, Robert Clive, who was born on the 1st of
September, 1903. It should be noted that ancestors of Mr. Hines
were gallant soldiers of the patriot forces in the war of the Revolution and
that his brother holds active membership in the Society of Sons of the
American Revolution.
On the 27th of December, 1901, was solemnized the
marriage of Mr. Hines to Miss Edith Welling, who was born at
Taylorsville, Kentucky, and who is a daughter of George Robert and Eliza
Ann (Darneal) Welling, the former of whom was born in the city of
Baltimore, Maryland, and the latter at Rock Haven, Kentucky. Mr.
Welling was a successful merchant, as well as postmaster, at
Taylorsville, Kentucky, at the time of the Civil War, and was employed by
the United States Government to purchase horses and mules for use by the
Union forces in the field. He died of yellow fever in the city of New
Orleans, just following the close of the Civil war, to which city he had
gone with a shipment of horses and mules. Mrs. Welling died
when Mrs. Hines was a child of Welling died when Mrs. Hines
was a child of between five and six years. Of their children Mrs.
Hines is the youngest; Mary Belle is the wife of Dr. Edwin R.
Montgomery, a representative physician at Louisville, Kentucky;
Charles Carter is deceased; Elizabeth is the wife of Amos F.
Brough, of Monterey, California. Mrs. Hines is a graduate
of Nazareth Academy at Bardstown, Kentucky, and also of the Kentucky State
Normal School in the City of Louisville. The Bardstown academy was the
first to open a school exclusively for women in Louisville. She is a
cousin of the widow of Admiral Dewey, her mother having been a sister
of the mother of Mrs. Dewey, who was a sister of the late John R.
McLean, the Cincinnati newspaper man.

JOHN L. HINES, M. D., a man of high attainments and cosmopolitan experience,
is now living in semi-retirement on the fine old homestead farm that figures
as the place of his nativity and that is one of the valuable rural estates
of Archer Township, Harrison County. He, as a bachelor, he resides in
the attractive home of his only brother, Jacob Elmer Hines, of whom
individual mention is made preceding with incidental and interesting record
concerning the family history. In the pleasing seclusion of the farm
Doctor Hines was born on the 23d of December, 1858, and his
preliminary educational discipline was obtained in the district schools of
Archer Township. Thereafter he was for two years a student in Wooster
University and he then entered historic old Washington and Jefferson College
in Pennsylvania, in which institution he was graduated as a member of the
class of 1882 and with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. There he became
actively affiliated with the Phi Delta Theta college fraternity, in their
affairs of which he continues to take lively interest. After leaving
this university Doctor Hines attended Bellevue Medical College in the
City of New York for one year, and the following year found him a student in
the College of Physicians and Surgeons in the City of Baltimore, Maryland.
He then returned to Bellevue Medical College, Baltimore, where he was
graduated with the Doctor of Medicine degree. During the winter of
1905 he toured through England, France, Italy and Switzerland, and in 1910
he amplified his foreign experience by travel not only in England, France,
Belgium, Italy and Holland but also by a tour through Egypt and Palestine.
Since his return from the latter tour he has remained with his only brother
on the old homestead farm. He is a man of studious habits and
distinctive culture, and in addition to his foreign trips he has traveled
extensively in his native land. He is a democrat in his political
proclivities and is affiliated with the Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution.
