	JACOB PERRY WINTERMUTE, merchant, Mt. Liberty, Ohio, is the third in descent from George Wintermute, or Windemuth, as originally spelled, who was an emigrant from the old country, settling in Sussex county, New Jersey, in the early part of the last century, and from whom has descended an extensive family connection, now scattered over all the northern States, territories and Canada.      His son George, who died in 1837, in the ninetieth year of his age, was married to Nancy Arason, a descendant of Jeptha Arason, who was commissioned and sent over by one of the King Georges' to do some surveying, receiving for his services a large tract of land in the northern part of New Jersey.      His son George, the father of the subject of this sketch, was born in Sussex county, New Jersey, Apr. 28, 1787, was married to Anne Wintermute, nee Lanterman, Oct. 24, 1807, and at once removed to Fayette county, Pennsylvania, where he followed his trade of blacksmithing, removing from thereto Trumbull county, Ohio, in 1809, where he, with an elder brother, was drafted and served in the War of 1812.  After the close of his term of service, the times being very hard in that then new country, he moved back to Fayette county, Pennsylvania, in 1814, where he remained until the year 1825, when he again moved to Ohio, this time settling in Muskingum county, ten miles west of Zanesville, which place he made his permanent residence until the date of his death, Jan. 4, 1862.  His widow died Feb. 1, 1871, at her daughter's, near the old homestead.  They had a family of six sons and one daughter, as follows; Arason, John Ogden, Asahel Wells, Sarah Ann; Ashfordby, James Frey, and Jacob Perry, all of whom are living with the exception of the second son, who died in Grayville, Illinois, Apr. 3, 1876.      The subject of this sketch, the youngest of the family, was born in Hopewell township, Muskingum county, Ohio, Dec. 15, 1852, and remained on the farm until his sixteenth year, when he went to Zanesville m the fall of 1848 to learn a trade with his brother, remaining with him four years, after which he engaged in daguerreotyping, following the business in various parts of the State about seven years.      On the last day of December, 1857. he was united in marriage, in Zanesville, Ohio, by the Rev. David E. Thomas, to Ettie A. Buckmaster, who was born in Muskingum county, Feb. 7, 1837, and who was a daughter of C. W. Buckmaster, whose biography appears in another part of this work.  This union resulted in a family of two sons and two daughters, as follows: Robert Corbin, born June 27, 1861; Nina, Oct. 14, 1863, both in Norton, Delaware county, Ohio; William Edward, Apr. 4, 1869, and Pearlie, Apr. 9, 1876, both in Mt. Liberty, Knox county.      After a residence in Zanesville of a little more than one year he removed to Norton, Delaware county, Ohio, and engaged in mercantile business with his brother, remaining there five years, when he changed his location to Mt. Vernon, and became one of the firm of J. W. Purviance & Co.  Just after the date of this move—May, 1864—he was called into the service of his country, being orderly sergeant of company C, One Hundred and Forty-fifth regiment, Ohio National guard.  The regiment did garrison duty on Arlington Heights, Virginia, the whole term of their enlistment.      In the spring of 1867 he changed to his present location and engaged in mercantile business alone, where, by steady persistence and careful management, he has made his business a success.      At the present time he holds the honorable and responsible position of grand worthy patriarch of the Grand division Sons of Temperance, of Ohio, having been elected thereto Oct. 28, 1880.

	S. D. WORKMAN, Howard township, farmer, post office, Howard. - He was born June 2, 1814, in Maryland, and at the age of thirteen years came to Howard township.  He lived with his father until his twenty-fifth year, when he was married to Fileana Denison.  They settled immediately on their farm and commenced business in the woods.      In 1841 Mr. Workman loaded his wagon with rye and started for Loudonville; but while crossing the Clearfork river, just as he was in the centre of one of the spans of the bridge, the stringers gave away, and he with his grain and team fell a distance of twelve feet, the water being about five feet deep, the bridge falling partially upon them.  He was under the wagon bed, but by some good fortune he was rolled out from under it.  One of his horses was held under water by a portion of the bridge.  The grain was in bags and sank to the bottom of the creek.  By some means the alarm was given and the people flocked to the rescue.  The most interesting feature of the affair was that all came out with but slight injuries.  Another strange incident was that his vest was lying upon the bags of grain, and when the bridge went down it was carried to the bottom of the river.  After reloading the grain they started off.  Mr. Workman turned his head to gaze for the last time upon the spot, and by reason of the sun shining brightly, the first thing that he saw was his vest floating down the stream.  He commanded his hired man, Mr. Snyder, who was with him to get it, as there was four hundred dollars in it.      He has four children - Amanda, Olive, Barbara, and Andrew, the latter at present a merchant in Danville.  Source:  History of Knox Co., Ohio, Its Past and Present – Publ.

	SOLOMON WORKMAN, Brown township, farmer and stock raiser, post office, Danville, son of David Workman, born in Alleghany county, Maryland, May 7, 1813, was brought to Knox county by his parents when a boy thirteen years old, his father locating in Howard township, on Jelloway, where he erected a rude log cabin to shelter his family; then by the help of Solomon, the subject of this sketch, they went to work clearing the land and making it ready for tilling.  This they continued until they had a very good and comfortable home.      At the age of twenty-five years he married Mary A. Brandbury, June 8, 1837, she being a daughter of Richard and Mary Brandbury, born in England, Feb. 14, 1818.  His father gave him eighty-five acres adjoining him, where he then moved and set up housekeeping, remaining about five years, when he exchanged said farm with his father for a farm in Brown township, where he now resides, it being a very pleasant and comfortable home.  By their marriage they became the parents of ten children: Elizabeth, born May 27, 1838, died Aug. 17, 1860; Richard, Sept. 23, 1839; David, July 25, 1841; Mary, Sept., 1843; Barbara, Oct. 14, 1845, died in Aug., 1880; Jerusha F., January 1, 1848; Marilah H., January 9, 1849; Normanda F., Nov. 16, 1853; Columbus J., July 31, 1856; Amos C., Feb. 22, 1859.  He and his companion are consistent members of the German Baptist church of Danville.

	SOLOMON C. WORKMAN, Brown township, farmer and stock raiser, post office, Jelloway, and son of Joseph and Sarah Workman, was born near Frostburgh, Alleghany county, Maryland, Jan. 12, 1807.  In 1812 his father, with his family, moved to Ohio, and located in Union township, Knox county, near the present village of Danville, on a farm of one hundred and sixty acres, and there erected a log cabin for his family.  In those days the country was thinly settled, wild Indians were seen occasionally, and a block-house was erected upon the farm on which he settled to protect the early settlers from those savages.  There was also hereabouts in those days plenty of game, such as bears, turkeys, wolves, panthers, foxes, wild-cats and deer.      On the fourth day of October, 1827, he married Miss Polly Draper, daughter of Isaac and Nancy Draper, born near Morgantown, Virginia, Nov. 7, 1800.  Her father was one among the first settlers in Coshocton county, who came from Virginia on pack-horses, and endured all the hardships of frontiersmen.  He died at the ripe age of ninety-three years.      Joseph Workman, his father, also endured all the hardships of a frontiersman, and reared a family of fourteen children - eight sons and six daughters, Solomon being one among that number.      Joseph died upon the farm, on which he settled, in the seventy-second year.      Some time after Solomon's marriage he rented his father-in-law's farm, remaining but one year.  In 1829 he purchased two hundred acres of wild land in Union township, said county, of Hosmer Curtis, for the sum of four hundred dollars to be paid in four yeas, where he erected a cabin, and moved into it.      In May, 1833, Benedict Peherenbaugh came from Germany - a dealer in brass clocks.  He at once engaged to help sell them for three months for the sum of seventy-five cents per day and one dollar on each block.  When his time expired he engaged the second time for three months on the same terms.  He then sold the farm spoken of to said party for the sum of eight hundred dollars, to be paid for in brass clocks at cost and carriage from Germany, which was in 1835.      In the spring of 1836 he gave possession of said lands to Peherenbaugh, moved to Rochester, Coshocton county, Ohio, on the Mohican river, and there commenced the sale of his clocks.  He also traded for stock and other articles, particularly notes and obligations, at the same time paying strict attention to military wild lands, and titles and locations, as they were the only wood lands to be purchased, or for sale, as about all were taken up or sold.  In the fall of 1836 he secured, of the heirs of Alexander Brevard, a Revolutionary solder in North Carolina, a title for three hundred acres of land in Brown township, Knox county, located in the Jelloway valley, where be moved in 1837 from Coshocton county, lodging in a cabin built by squatters on said lands, and commenced to improve them.  On the first day of January, 1837, he started east in search of land titles, crossed the Ohio river at Steubenville, travelled through a part of Virginia and Pennsylvania, crossing the corner of Maryland, returning home by the way of Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Canton and Wooster, arriving at home the third week of February of the same year.  Here he felt it to be his  special duty to compliment his friends, Benedict Peherenbaugh and his three brothers, Fadilla, Peter, and Christian Peherenbaugh.  From his first acquaintance to the last he found them gentlemen of truth and honesty.  He failed to accomplish any thing on his first trip, and in May of the same year he made the second journey to the State of Maryland, visiting some of its principal towns, but failed the second time in getting the required and desired information.  He then started for home by the way of Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Canton, arriving at home in a short time in Brown township, and lodged in his cabin in the woods.  He then gave his attention to the clearing of the land and erection of buildings, laboring from year to year until the present time, and he has now elegant buildings and a fine farm.  He also attends to other matters, such as getting up petitions for roads, securing rights for opening and working the same for the benefit of the whole country.      Roads in early days were few and not in good condition, but as the country settled up they became better by working them thoroughly.  At one time a tax was levied for the erection of school-houses and paying teachers for instructing the young.  Knowing the difficulties a man labors under who has no education in the matter of keeping accounts and in conducting business generally, he, of course, favored those movements.      He believes that our common schools should be our high schools, language excepted.      In 1827, when he left his father's house to go into the world and transact business for himself, he could not read or write, and he very soon saw the necessity of an education.  Procuring a few books, slate, and writing paper, making use of them all, in a short time he could read, write, and cipher.  Seeing that he could learn as well as others he was not a long time in acquiring the rudiments of an education.      In early times it was difficult to sell produce for cash, and it had to be hauled to Bristor, Dover, Massillon, or Newark, and then get only from sixty to eighty cents per bushel for wheat, and seldom a dollar.      At the time of the grading of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago railroad, by the way of Loudonville, he had on hand five hundred bushels of wheat, worth from sixty to seventy cents per bushel.  Hearing that the Clear Fork mill, situated near Newville, was buying and paying seventy-five cents, he concluded to go over and sell his wheat, but failed, and then went to Loudonville and Wooster and found no market.  From there he proceeded to Elyria, Lorain county, but found the market dull.  While at the latter place a dispatch came from the city of New York showing an advance in the prices.  He contracted one thousand bushels of wheat, at one dollar per bushel, to be delivered at his barn in Brown township, Knox county, and received five hundred dollars on said contract, to be taken on or before the fourth day of July.  He then started home, arriving the next morning, when he changed horses and started out, buying five hundred bushels at a cost of from seventy to seventy-five cents per bushel, to be delivered on tract. short notice, the parties selling receiving one-half of said contract.  Wheat declining they failed to take balance, although tendered, but about the first of August of the same year, wheat began to advance, and kept on until it reached one dollar, when the company spoken of made a demand for the wheat, but as they failed to comply with the contract he, of course, declined to let them have it.  Wheat continued to raise until October and November of the same year, when he hired teams and hauled it Massillon and Fulton, and realized one dollar and seventy-five cents per bushel out of this wheat.      May 13, 1868, just at twelve o'clock at night, the lady of the house discovered it to be on fire.  Water was applied with the assistance of neighbors, but without avail, the building soon being burned to ashes, and only a small amount of the household saved.  He then built the house he now lives in the same year, commencing on the tenth of August, and moved into it on the thirteenth of November.      Mr. Workman has been the owner of one thousand acres of land in the Jelloway valley, Brown township, a part of which he sold, and a part he gave to his children, leaving him the owner of three hundred and twenty acres.      Mr. and Mrs.  Workman are the parents of eleven children, six living, and five dead, four of whom died in infancy, one at maturity; grandchildren, total forty-one; deaths, ten, leaving thrity-one living; great-grandchildren fifteen, fourteen living.      In politics he is a Democrat, and in religion a German Baptist.  He was elected twice by his church to preach, but declined, not thinking himself a suitable man for a minister; for he believes that a minister should teach by example as well as words.      Mr. and Mr. Workman are enjoying good health at the ripe old ages of seventy-four and eight-one years.      Mr. Workman held the office of treasurer a number of years in the township, also justice of the peace for three years.
