                  JAMES C. M. FLOYD, 
					M. D., who, for over a quarter of a century has been 
					engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery at 
					Steubenville, O., occupies a very high position in his 
					profession and stands equally well as a useful and 
					public-spirited citizen.  He was born Jan. 30, 1852, in 
					Cross Creek Township, Jefferson County, Ohio, and is a son 
					of JOHN and Catherine (Winters) 
					Floyd. 
     Dr. Floyd comes of Welsh ancestry.  His 
					great-grandfather, William Floyd, came to Jefferson 
					County in 18094, having been brought to America by his 
					mother forty years previously.  William Floyd 
					acquired land in Jefferson County and the name of Floyd 
					has been identified with this part of Ohio ever since. 
     The boyhood of this subject of this sketch was spent on 
					her father's farm in Cross Creek Township where he attended 
					school until the age of eighteen years.  Afterwards he 
					spent one term in the Hopedale Normal College and one year 
					at Scio College.  By the time he reached his legal 
					majority he had decided upon the profession he intended to 
					follow and all his studies from then on until his 
					graduation, June 24, 1875, were directed to the science of 
					medicine.  These included preparatory reading with a 
					prominent physician at Wintersville, O., and subsequent 
					attendance at Bellevue Hospital Medial College, New York 
					City, with lectures in the Long Island College Hospital at 
					Brooklyn, N. Y.  Dr. Floyd selected Richmond, 
					Jefferson County, Ohio, as his first field of professional 
					work and continued in practice there from September, 1875, 
					until March, 1883, when he located permanently in 
					Steubenville. 
     On Dec. 27, 1878, Dr. Flood was married to 
					Miss Rachel E. Aber, who is a daughter of Jackson 
					and Eliza (Conner) Aber, natives of Pennsylvania. 
					Dr. and Mrs. Floyd have an attractive home at No. 236 
					North Fifth Street and his office is at No. 239 on the same 
					street.  He is a valued and active member of several 
					medical organizations, including those of the county and 
					state, and occasionally contributes to their literature.  
					In politics, Dr. Floyd is a Republican.  With 
					his wife he attends the Second Presbyterian Church.

                  SHERMAN M. FLOYD, 
					deputy county auditor of Jefferson County, Ohio, has always 
					resided in this county over which he is well and favorably 
					known.  He is a son of John Floyd, a prominent 
					citizen and formerly commissioner of the county, and was 
					born in 1863.   
     Sherman M. Floyd was reared in the public 
					schools and received a business course in the Iron City 
					Business College at Pittsburgh.  He then turned his 
					attention to agricultural pursuits, at which he continued 
					with much success until 1903 when he entered his present 
					office as deputy county auditor.  He has a thorough 
					knowledge of the office in all its details, and upon being 
					strongly importuned became a candidate for the nomination 
					for auditor, in 1910, subject to the will of the Republican 
					primary.  He has always been active in politics and has 
					contributed in no small degree to the success of the party 
					in the community in which he has lived.  He served as 
					clerk of the board of education of Cross Creek Township five 
					years, clerk of the township five years, was president of 
					the Jefferson County Agricultural Society two years, and was 
					a member of its board of directors seven years.  Mr. 
					Floyd owns the old Floyd homestead of 106 acres 
					in Cross Creek Township upon which William Floyd 
					settled in 1807 and which has been in the Floyd 
					possession since that date. 
     In 1890 Mr. Floyd was united in marriage with 
					Miss Lulu A. George and they have three children: 
					John E., Eleanor E. and William McK. Floyd.  
					Religiously, he is a member of Winterville M. E. Church, of 
					which he was treasurer for a period of twelve years.  
					He is a member of Steubenville Lodge, No. 1, K. P., and of 
					the Patrons of Husbandry.

                  STEPHEN ELLSWORTH FLOYD, 
					city engineer at Mingo Junction, O., conducts extensive 
					farming operations in Cross Creek Township, where he and 
					wife own a valuable farm of one hundred and forty-seven 
					acres, the old Roberts place, which has been in the
					Roberts name continuously since 1800.  Mr. 
					Floyd was born on his father's farm in Cross Creek 
					Township, Jefferson County, Jan. 18, 1860, and is a son of
					John and Catherine (Winters) Floyd. 
     John Floyd also was born in Cross Creek Township, 
					Jefferson county, Ohio, Feb. 20, 1827, being the grandson 
					and only heir of William Floyd, who, with a small 
					family, came from Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and located 
					in Cross Creek Township in 1804.  John Floyd was 
					married to Catherine Winters in January, 1851, and 
					eight children were born to them, six sons and two 
					daughters, all of whom survive except one daughter.  
					The eldest son, J. C. M., is a physician residing at 
					Steubenville.  J. Howard is a farmer in Cross 
					Creek Township.  W. Everett is a teacher of 
					music and resides at Wheeling Island, West Virginia. 
					Stephen Ellsworth is a civil engineer and farmer. 
					Sherman M. owns farm land and at present is serving 
					as deputy auditor of Jefferson County.  Porter B., 
					the youngest son is a farmer and resides at home as also 
					does Emma L., the surviving daughter.  Mr. 
					Floyd is one of Cross Creek Township's most respected 
					citizens. 
    Stephen Ellsworth Floyd attended the local schools in 
					boyhood and then entered the Ohio State University at 
					Columbus, where he completed a three year course in civil 
					engineering and has made much progress in his profession.  
					For some years he has divided his time between this and 
					agricultural pursuits.  On Oct. 16, 1884, Mr. Floyd 
					was married to Miss Carrie Roberts, a daughter of 
					James and Rachel (Taylor) Roberts, and a granddaughter 
					of William and Esther (Johnston) Taylor.  The 
					father of Mrs. Floyd was born in Cross Creek Township 
					and the mother in Ross Township.  They have both passed 
					away and their burial was in Cross Creek Township.  
					They had three daughters:  Elizabeth, Laura and
					Carrie, the last named, Mrs. Floyd, begin the 
					only survivor.  She inherited the old homestead of 
					father and grandfather and still holds it in her name. 
					Mr. and Mrs. Floyd have two children: Taylor 
					Winters, who is employed in a wholesale grocery house at 
					Fayetteville, Ark.; and Catherine Esther, who resides 
					with her parents.  In these two families,  the 
					Floyds and the Roberts, are united old pioneer 
					settlers of this section, people of courage and enterprise 
					who took their lives in their hands when they ventured into 
					what was then a wild and tractless wilderness.

                  JAMES A. 
				  FRAZER, in association with his son, Gilbert N. Frazer, 
				  conducts a large business enterprise at Steubenville, under 
				  the firm name of the Frazer Heating & Ventilating 
				  Company, at No. 214 Market Street, and is a 
				  representative of old pioneer families of this section. 
				  James A. Frazer was born at Millersburg, 
				  Holmes Co., Ohio, Mar. 4, 1847, and is a son of James 
				  and Eliza (Gray) Frazer and a grandson of 
				  James Frazier.      Robert 
				  Gray, the maternal grandfather of Mr. Frazer, 
				  with his brother, James Gray, came to 
				  Steubenville from Baltimore, Md., in 1793, and the former was 
				  a leading plaster contractor of his day and the later operated 
				  the first brickyard established here.  They were men of 
				  means and enterprise and after Robert Gray 
				  had purchased much land, including what is now the Second Ward 
				  of Steubenville, together they laid it out as it is today. 
				  James Frazer, father of James A. 
				  Frazer, was a farmer and a gardener, and he came to 
				  Steubenville in 1821.      James 
				  A. Frazer was small when his parents took up their 
				  permanent residence in Steubenville.  His first work was 
				  at glass cutting, later he helped his father in gardening and 
				  in marketing produce.  In 1863 he enlisted for service in 
				  the State guards, under Captain Prentiss, and 
				  in the spring of 1864, at Steubenville, Ohio, entered into the 
				  regular service, enlisting in the 157th O. Vol. Inf., and was 
				  mustered out late in the same year.  He then returned to 
				  Steubenville and for about eighteen months was in charge of 
				  the card room in the Steubenville Battton 
				  Factory, later was connected for three years with the 
				  Means Foundry and Machine Works, since when he has 
				  been engaged in the tin and heating business, together with 
				  other city enterprises.  Since 1901 Mr. Frazer 
				  has had his son associated with him.       
				  In `870 Mr. Frazer was married to 
				  Miss Josephine Hipsley, who died in July, 1886.  
				  They had six children born to them, James, Jessie, 
				  Mary, Earl, Gilbert N. and Benjamin.  
				  The eldest son, James Frazer, is the senior 
				  member of the firm of Frazer & Spence, 
				  engaged in a plumbing business at Mingo Junction, Ohio.  
				  Jessie is the wife of Frank Miller, of 
				  Steubenville.  Mary is the wife of
				  Joshua Aldrich, of this city.  
				  Earl and Benjamin are both in the 
				  West, the former being connected with railroad work at San 
				  Francisco.      Gilbert N. 
				  Frazer, of the Frazer Heating Ventilating 
				  Company, was born and educated at Steubenville and 
				  has been brought up in the business with which he is 
				  connected.  For five years he was with the Wheeling 
				  Corrugated Iron Company, was in the business one year at 
				  Pittsburg and later at Martin's Ferry, and then came with his 
				  father.  In the same year (1901) he was married to
				  Miss Emma J. Culver, of Wheeling, and they 
				  have two children:  Wilma E. and 
				  Angie M.  Mr. Frazer and his 
				  father are both members of La Belle View Methodist Episcopal 
				  Church.  He is identified with the Maccabees and his 
				  father with the Turners' Society and with E. M. Stanton Post, 
				  G. A. R., No. 166.

                  MRS. 
				  MARGARET FRAZIER, who, with her sons, conducts the well 
				  known homelike hostelry, the McNeal Hotel, at Mingo Junction, 
				  Ohio, is one of the best known and mot highly respected ladies 
				  of this place.  Mrs. Frazier was born in 
				  the town of Cardiff, Wales, Mar. 1, 1853, and is a daughter of 
				  David and Mary (Davis) Davis.     
				  David Davis was a competent mill worker, 
				  beginning in boyhood and becoming a heater, puddler and 
				  roller.  In 1863 he brought his family to America, and 
				  for the first three years they lived at Mt. Savage, Pa., and 
				  from there moved to a farm in Preston County, West Virginia.  
				  Five years were spent there and then Mr. Davis 
				  removed to Cairo, Ill., where he died, in 1877, at the age of 
				  forty-eight years.  His widow survived him a long time, 
				  her death taking place at the home of her only son, 
				  David Davis, at Mingo Junction.  There were 
				  eight children in the family, Margaret being 
				  the eldest.  The others were:  Mary Jane, 
				  who is the wife of James Brooks, of New 
				  Castle, Pa.; Ruth, now deceased, who was the 
				  wife of Benton Fell, of New Alexandria;
				  Naomi, a twin sister to Ruth, 
				  who died aged four months; David, who resides 
				  at Chicago, Ill.; Sarah Ann, who married Clarence Rine, 
				  of Kentucky; and two children, both bearing the name of
				  Benjamin, died young.     
				  Mrs. Frazier was ten years old when the 
				  family came came to America and easily recalls the long voyage 
				  of sixteen days on the ocean.  She remained at home with 
				  her parents until her marriage, which took place at Cairo, 
				  Ill., to William Frazier, and to their 
				  marriage six children were born, namely: Minnie, who married
				  Garfield Gilgrist, of Columbus, Ohio, and has 
				  six children - Florence E., Thomas A.,
				  Carl V., Robert Randell, Emily B., and
				  Forest M.; Harry W., living at Steubenville, 
				  who married Mary Jane Bates, and has one 
				  child, Margaret; Blanche, who married 
				  George Simmons, of Mingo Junction, and has two 
				  children - Harland and Minnie; George 
				  J.; Sarah Ella, who married 
				  Carl Trig, and resides at Mingo Junction; and 
				  Benjamin H.       In May 
				  following their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Frazier 
				  came to Mingo Junction, where he secured work in the mill, and 
				  she added to the family income by keeping boarders.  From 
				  this she drifted into the restaurant business and for years, 
				  with her sons, conducted the Home Restaurant at Mingo 
				  Junction.  It prospered because it justified its name.  
				  Finally Mrs. Frazier and sons decided to go 
				  into the hotel business, and after selling out their 
				  restaurant to Thomas Hughes, they took charge 
				  of the McNeal Hotel, in October, 1909.  This is a 
				  convenient, well appointed house, with twenty-five sleeping 
				  rooms and a commodious dining room, parlor, office and 
				  kitchen, all of which are fitted up according to modern 
				  demands.  Mrs. Frazier charges from one 
				  dollar a day upward according to location of apartments, 
				  baths, etc.  While she has found it profitable to cater 
				  to railroad men to a large degree, her patronage is by no 
				  means confined to them.  She has never operated a bar in 
				  any of her business enterprises, but has provided comforts of 
				  all kinds and keeps a table un-excelled for good, wholesome 
				  food.  She owns valuable real estate at Mingo Junction. 
				  Mrs. Frazier is a capable woman and has 
				  proved her efficiency in everything she has undertaken.  
				  She is beloved by her family and is held in the highest esteem 
				  by all who know her.  For a number of years she has been 
				  identified with the W. C. T. U. at Mingo Junction and is a

					Company of Steubenville, Ohio, has extensive business 
					interests and has had an active career, although but now 
					entering the prime of life. 
     Mr. Freeman was born in New Cumberland, 
					W. Va., in 1875, and was but seven years of age when brought 
					by his parents to Steubenville.  Here he grew to 
					maturity and received a good preliminary education in the 
					public schools, which was supplemented by a course in Ohio 
					State University, from which he was graduated with the class 
					of 1898.  He became identified with his father in the 
					sewer pipe business at Freeman, Jefferson County, and 
					continued there for a period of four years.  He 
					organized the Eastern Ohio Sewer Pipe Company and built the 
					plant at Irondale, the largest plant of the kind in this 
					country.  He was general manager of that concern for 
					two years, at the end of which time he sold out his interest 
					and assisted in the organization of the Ohio Plaster and 
					Supply Company of Steubenville, of which he has since been 
					vice-president.  He was one of the organizers and is 
					president of The Cattrell Bros. Company of 
					Wierton, W. Va., and is secretary and treasurer of the 
					Van Meter Construction Company.  He is an 
					active member of the Chamber of Commerce of Steubenville, 
					and also is a member of the Country Club.  In 1902 
					Mr. Freeman was married to Miss Helen W. 
					Mooney; of Steubenville, and they have two sons, 
					Charles A. and Ledlie C. Freeman.  
					Religiously he is a member of the Second Presbyterian 
					Church.

                      WILLIAM 
                      FREUDENBERGER, an extensive oil operator and large dealer in real estate 
                      at 
                      Steubenville,
 Ohio, is a resident of thirty years’ standing in this 
                      city.  He was born in Germany and was fifteen years old when he came to 
                      America.
                       
                           For the first 
                      three years of his life in the United States,
                      William Freudenberger lived at 
                      Keokuk, Iowa, and it was from there that he came 
                      to Steubenville
                      and secured employment as a clerk in a clothing store.  When oil was first developed in Ohio 
                      he became interested, and through foresight and judicious investments acquired 
                      valuable oil lands and leases and for many years has been identified with oil 
                      production in not only the fields of Ohio but also in Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and 
                      West Virginia.  He is president of 
                      the Steuben Oil and Gas Company, and is a director in the Hill Oil and Gass 
                      Company of Oklahoma.  
                      Mr. Freudenberger 
                       is also interested in city real estate 
                      and probably handles more valuable realty here than any other dealer.  He has been identified for years with 
                      the most active and progressive class of citizens, has served as a member of the 
                      city council and president pro tem, and as councilman-at-large, and is very 
                      active and useful as a member of the Steubenville Chamber of Commerce. 
                           On May 31, 1883,
                      Mr. Freudenberger was married to
                      Miss Lilly Love, who was born and 
                      reared at Steubenville, and they have four 
                      children: Robert L., who is engaged 
                      in the life insurance business at Steubenville; and 
                      Daisy, Elmer M. and Walter J. 
                           During the 
                      Spanish-American War, Mr. Freudenberger 
                      served in Company D, Second West Virginia Infantry.  He is identified thus with the United 
                      Spanish War Veterans and belongs also to the Knights of Pythias, the Elks, and 
                      Heptasophs, the Protected Home Circle and to the Steubenville Country Club.
