ALBERT ALBAUGH, a
prominent and influential citizen of Union Township, Miami
County, Ohio, resides on a farm of 200 acres in all, and in
addition owns the farm on which his daughter resides in the
same township. He is a man of exceptional business
capacity, and from a humble beginning worked his way to the
front rank among the substantial men of the community.
He was born in Darke County, Ohio, July 4, 1850, and is a
son of John and Aseneth (Mendenhall) Albaugh.
JOHN ALBAUGH was born in
Montgomery County, Ohio, whither his parents had at an early
date moved from Pennsylvania. When a young man he
moved to the vicinity of Gettysburg, Darke County, Ohio,
where he farmed until early in the sixties. He then
moved to Union Township, Miami County, where he spent the
last years of his life. He had taken sick prior to his
removal from Darke County, and never recovered his health,
his death occurring at the age of sixty-eight years.
His wife survived him but three mouths, dying at the age of
sixty-five. They were parents of ten children.
Albert Albaugh was but a baby when his
parents moved to Union Township, and here he grew to
maturity. His educational training in the schools was
limited, as his father was disabled, and he, being the
oldest son, was obliged to do the work on the farm.
Thus hard work and self-reliance came to him at an early
age, and proved the foundation for his future success.
When nineteen years of age he purchased a team of horses,
for which he incurred an indebtedness of $200, but soon was
able to pay this off. He worked at home until he was
thirty years of age, and was constantly laying by a part of
his earnings, which he used to good advantage in discounting
notes. He purchased the farm on which his daughter,
Mrs. Younce, now lives, and made his home on that
place for twenty-three years. In 1907 he purchased his
present home farm for a cash consideration of $11,000, and
has since lived upon it. He follows general farming
and tobacco raising. He is a director of the Miami
County Fair Board, to which he was elected in 1907.
Politically, he is a Republican.
Mr. Albaugh was united in marriage with
Ida A. Herley, and they have three children: Leonard,
who married Dorothy Rue and lives on the home place;
Alma, who married Clark Younce and has
a son, Aubrey; and Esther, who also lives with
her parents. Religiously, they are members of the
United Brethren Church.

proprietor of the West Milton Lumber Company, at West

intersection of Hamilton Street and the C, H. & D. Railroad.
He was born in Miami County, Ohio, in 1860, his grandfather
being one of the earliest settlers of the county, locating
in the vicinity of West Milton.

Mendenhall, who was born and reared near West Milton,

giving up that position he conducted a lumber yard at
Bellefontaine, Ohio, for two years, in partnership with a
brother. In 1905 he moved to West Milton, where he
purchased the lumber yard of Joseph Murphy, conducting it
successfully until June 22, 1908, when it was destroyed by
fire. The same year he erected his present splendid
plant, the largest and most complete in this part of the
county. He carries all kinds of soft lumber, sashes
and doors, and general building materials, and enjoys a
liberal patronage at the hands of the people of the
vicinity.

musical course in Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, and
is now giving instructions in music; and Lilley, who
