LUCIUS E. COCHRAN,
whose numerous and important business interests and connections have
made his name a familiar one all over and beyond the State of Ohio,
and whose personal attributes have won him the confidence and esteem
of his fellow-citizens at Youngstown, was born June 12, 1842, in
Delaware County, Ohio, and is a son of Robert and Nancy (Hummason)
Cochran.
The Cochran family was founded in Trumbull County,
Ohio, by George H. Cochran, the grandfather of our subject, who
transferred his mercantile interests from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania to
Vienna Ohio. His son Robert, one of his six children, passed the
greater part of his life as an agriculturist in Logan County, where he
and his wife were leading members of the Christian Church.
They had a family of four sons and three daughters.
Lucius E. Cochran was educated in the district
schools and later took a commercial course at Pittsburg, following
which he accepted a position as clerk in a general store. In
1862 he became bookkeeper for the firm of Andrews & Hitchcock,
prominent business men of Youngstown, with whom he remained until
1867, when he went into business for himself, becoming a member of
the mercantile firm of Andrews Brothers & Company, at
Haselton, Ohio, a suburb of Youngstown. In 1880 Mr. Cochran
was elected president and treasurer of a large business combination,
which united the firms of Andrews Brothers, Andrews Brothers &
Company, and the Niles Iron Company into a corporation known as
the Andrews Brothers Company. In addition to the duties
of this position, involving immense responsibility. Mr.
Cochran is connected, either as a principal and important
official, in some of the greatest combinations of capital and
industry that now occupy the attention of the business world in this
section. He was president of the Youngstown Car Manufacturing
Company; was also president of the Youngstown Bridge Company; and is
president of the Youngstown Iron and Steel Roofing Company;
president of the Youngstown Pressed Steel Car Company; president of
the G. M. McKelvey Company; president of the Edwin Bell Company,
conducting a cooperage business, of which he was one of the
originators; president of the Mahoning Valley Water Company;
vice-president of the Commercial National Bank; vice-president of
the Morris Hardware Company; a director of the Youngtown Carriage &
Wagon Company; a director of the Ohio Steel Company, of which he was
one of the founders, and a director of the Pittsburg, Cleveland &
Toledo Railroad Company. He was one of the originators of the
Mahoning & Shenango Dock Company, as well as of the Mahoning Ore
Company, of which latter concern he was formerly vice-president.
Mr. Cochran deserves the title of captain of industry, for he
has reached his elevated position in the business world through a
natural business genius.
In 1868 Mr. Cochran was married to Mary
Isabella Brownlee, a daughter of John and Leah (Powers)
Brownlee. They had two sons, Robert B. and
Chauncy A., the former of whom is now deceased. Chauncy
A. Cochran is a very prominent young business man at Youngstown,
is a secretary of the Youngstown Iron & Steel Roofing Company, and
also of the Youngstown Pressed Steel Company. He married
Sarah E. Davis, daughter of the late Hon. John R. Davis,
of Youngstown, whose sketch appears elsewhere in this volume, and
resides at No. 680 Bryson street, Youngstown.
Mr. Cochran has always been identified
politically with the Republican party. During his residence at
Haselton he served 22 years as postmaster, being an appointee of
President Grant. His fraternal connections include membership
in all the highest branches of Masonry, he having attained the 32nd
degree. Both he and his wife are members of the Memorial
Presbyterian Church at Youngstown.

H. CREED, a successful farmer and one of the leading citizens
of Struthers, residing on a fine farm of 160 acres located in
section 12, Poland township, was born in Trumbull County, Ohio, Mar.
5, 1849, and is a son of William and Harriet (Ames) Creed, a full
sketch of whom will be found in this work under the name of John
A. Creed. William Creed was but a few months
old when his parents moved to the Rayen estate farm of
600 acres, in Coitsville township, on which he was reared, securing
his education in the Milligan District school, in Coitsville
township. His father died when he was 14
years old, after which he continued to reside with his mother until
the time of his marriage. In 1875, one year after his
marriage, he moved to Holland, near Warren, Trumbull County,
and rented the Christopher Milligan farm for three years,
after which he returned to Coitsville township and rented the
Kimwell farm for seven years. In 1880, he bought his
present farm, on which he located two years later, and immediately
began making improvements. The house was then situated on the
west end of the farm and this he moved to the east end, on the
Struthers and Poland road, now known as Poland Avenue, and later
sold this house after having removed it to another lot. In
1903, he built a commodious, modern 12-room house, and in 1889 he
erected a fine large barn. Mr. Creed runs a
dairy in connection with his farming, and keeps about 25 cows.
With Dr. W. A. Morrison of Struthers, he bought 50 acres of
land in Struthers, adjoining his farm, which was formerly the
Joseph Sexton farm, and this property was laid out
in town lots, the greater part of which have been sold. Mr.
Creed is also a director of the Struthers Savings and Banking
Company. Fraternally he is a member of the Protective Home
Circle, and is religiously associated with the United Presbyterian
Church of Struthers, of which he is a trustee.
On Apr. 30, 1874, Mr. Creed was united in
marriage to Susan W. Reed, a daughter of John H. Reed,
and a sister of William Reed, of whom a sketch appears in
this work. Children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Creed,
namely: Nellie J., who married Enos Humm, of
Struthers, has four children, Harry, Roy, Alice, and
