Burton Cain |
BURTON CAIN.
Burton Cain, well known in commercial circles at Outville,
where he conducts a large hay and grain business, descends
from a family which for upwards of a century has been
identified with the agricultural interests of this county,
his grandfather, William Cain, having come
here from Ireland at an early date, locating on the farm on
which his grandson, Burton, was born. He passed
away there at the advanced age of eighty-two years, after
having reared the following children; John, Andrew,
Isaac, William, Joseph and two
daughters.
Isaac Cain was born Aug. 14, 1823, and
spent his entire life on the old homestead, containing
one hundred and eighty-six acres in Union township, two
miles east of Outville on the Black road, the place being
known as "Mount Pleasant" farm. He was well known
throughout the township for his industry, through which he
became quite prosperous, and was accounted among the
county's best agriculturists. His good character gave
him an excellent reputation throughout the township for his
life was always conducted as nearly as possible in harmony
with the teachings of Christianity, as set forth in the
Presbyterian church, of which he was a member. He was
indeed a desirable and worthy citizen, entertaining the
confidence and respect of all who knew him. He was
twice married, his first wife, Minerva Parkerson,
having passed away in 1855, leaving one child, John,
who resides in Outville with Burton. His second
wife, Mary Condit, was a native of New Jersey,
where her birth occurred Sept. 13, 1824. With her
parents, Isaac and Jane (Dobbins) Condit, natives of
New Jersey, she came to Licking county when thirteen years
of age and after a long and useful life passed away Feb. 28,
1901. She was the mother of the following children:
George W., a resident of Columbus, Ohio;
Burton; Jennie, the wife of William
Yearly; Fannie, who became the wife of Frank
Wells, of Harrison township; Mattie, who
resides with her husband, Charles Nichols, in
Westerville, Ohio; and Joseph B., who passed away in
infancy.
On the farm on which his father was born and spent his
entire life Burton Cain was reared, there
familiarizing himself with the various departments of
agriculture, and during boyhood acquired his education in
the neighboring schools. He remained upon the home
place until 1898, when he located in Outville and
established himself in the hay and grain business and also
in handling live stock, in both enterprises being an
extensive buyer and shipper. In connection with his
business interests here he still owns a part of the old
homestead, the farm consisting of ninety acres, and in
partnership with his half-brother John, he keeps the
property under cultivation and raises general crops and
stock, which he handles in connection with his business in
the village. He is an enterprising business man and,
his volume of trade steadily increasing, the concern of
which he is proprietor is one of the most prominent in the
commercial circles of Outville.
In 1891 Mr. Cain wedded Mary Alice
Turner, a native of Kirkersville, Harrison township,
where her birth occurred Aug. 9, 1859. Her parents
were Harvey and Elizabeth (Jackaon) Turner, her
father a native of Perry county and her mother of Delaware
county. Mr. Turner, by a former marriage with
Sarah Deweese, had one child, Elizabeth
Embry, who resides in Kirkersville. The children
of his second marriage are: Mary Alice; Katie Embry,
a resident of Newark, Ohio; William, who lives in
Kirkersville; and Retta, who resides in Columbus,
Ohio. Mr. Cain gives his allegiance to the
democratic party and, being a public-spirited man, he is
always ready and willing to assist in promoting all measures
designed for the general improvement of the community.
He belongs to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the
Red Men, in behalf of which organizations he takes an active
interest, and he is a member of the Presbyterian church.
His business relations have always been straightforward and,
being a man of excellent judgment and careful management,
the commercial worth of the enterprise he conducts has added
much to the financial standing of the town, in which he is
favorably known as a representative and honorable citizen.

J. H. CONARD |
JOSEPH HAMLIN CONARD,
a well known and representative farmer of Licking county,
who has devoted his entire life to the tilling of the soil,
was born in Burlington township, this county, Mar. 14, 1850,
a son of Nathan and Catherine (Montgomery) Conard.
His paternal grandfather, Nathan Conard, came to Ohio
from Loudoun county, Virginia, in 1805, and settled in
Licking county, where, in in 1807, he purchased a farm of
two hundred acres from James Stansbury, thus founding
the old Conard homestead, where the remaining years
of his life were spent. Year by year he added to his
original holdings until he became one of the most prosperous
agriculturists and influential citizens of the community, at
the time of his demise leaving to each of his nine children
a farm of one hundred and twenty-five acres or more.
He was very prominent among his fellow citizens and served
for many years as justice of the peace. He took a very
active interest in church work, being a member of the
Methodist church. A loyal and public-spirited citizen,
he was at all times an earnest advocate of civic improvement
and lent his aid to many measures destined for the general
good. He was in his seventy-sixth year when called to
his home beyond. His wife bore the maiden name of
Miss Butcher, and survived him several years, her death
occurring when she had attained the venerable age of
ninety-six years. Na than Conard, Jr., the
father of our subject, was born on the old homestead about
1815, where he spent the years of his boyhood and youth.
Reaching manhood, he located in Burlington township, where
his remaining days were spent in farming. His death
occurred when he was seventy years of age. He was a
republican in politics, and for several years served as an
officer in the Methodist church. His wife,
Catherine (Montgomery) Conard, was born in Perry
township, Licking county, Mar. 28, 1817, a daughter of
Henry Montgomery, of whom mention is made elsewhere in
this volume.
Joseph Hamlin Conard, reared under the parental
roof, acquired his education in the common schools of
Licking county and at the age of twenty-two years went to
live with an uncle and aunt, Joe and Betsy Conard,
who bad never married. Here for about twenty-four
years he cared for them and looked after their agricultural
interests, and at their death came into possession of their
farm, which had been the birthplace of his father and which
he continues to make his home. This farm comprises one
hundred and fifty acres, and be bought another farm of two
hundred and eight acres in this township. This
property is yielding him excellent returns, and he is justly
accounted one of the substantial agriculturists of this
county.
On Oct. 4, 1878, was celebrated the marriage of Mr.
Conard to Miss Eliza J. Parks, a daughter of
James Parks, of Burlington township, who sacrificed his
life in the Civil war. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Conard
have been born five children: Etta G., the wife of
Frank Melick, residing in Burlington township; John
A., who is operating one of his father's farms; Mary
M., Wesley Ray and George C., all at home.
Following the example of his father and grandfather before
him, Mr. Conard is a stalwart supporter of the
republican party and is a member of the Methodist church, of
which he is an elder and trustee. His years of
residence in this community have brought to him a host of
warm friends and he is highly esteemed by all who know him
and especially so by those who know him best.
