EDWARD
B. WEST. Since pioneer times the West Family has
had an influential share in the activities of farming and other
lines of endeavor around the Sylvania community of Lucas County.
A fine farm just at the edge of Sylvania village is now owned and
occupied by Edward B. West, who has found in farming a
means of satisfying his ambitions in a business way and also of
providing for home and family.
He was born in the town of Whitford, Michigan, February
16, 1868. His father A. B. West was a native of New York State
and came west when a youth, the family locating in Monroe County,
Michigan, but close to the line which on account of the boundary
dispute between Michigan and Ohio was at one time in Michigan and
another in Ohio. A. B. West subsequently moved to
Toledo, taught school there, then returned to the old farm in Monroe
County, and afterwards, while still living on his farm, taught
school in Sylvania. He finally moved to Sylvania and made it
is permanent home until his death. While a farmer and the
owner of a farm for many years, he spent some fourteen or fifteen
years in the useful vocation of teaching. His death occurred
in 1896 at the age of seventy-one, while his wife passed away at
seventy-three in 1899.
The children of A. B. West and his wife were:
Emma, wife of O. S. Comstock, a farmer at the edge of
Sylvania; Anna, wife of Earl Harroun, a farmer near
Sylvania; Henry T., who is now teaching in Kenyon College at
Gambier, Ohio, and married a Miss Ashley, whom he met while
attending Oberlin College; and Edward B. Their children
also included William, Alice and Nellie, who died in
childhood.
Edward B. West grew up in Lucas County, and
since starting out independently ahs been a substantial farmer.
He is a republican and is a member of the Congregational Church.
He married Georgia Randall, who is now deceased. His
three children are Walter, Ralph and Mary.
