Washington Twp. - JOHN T. QUAY, farmer; P. O., Iberia; was born in Center Co., Penn., Sept. 26, 1830.  His parents were natives of that county; they moved into Marion Co., O., when Mr. Quay was but five years of age.  Nov. 18, 1852, he married Miss Catharine Holmes, whose home was in this vicinity, though her parents were originally from the State of Pennsylvania.  After marriage they settled on the farm of Mr. Holmes, where they remained about two years; they then removed to his father's farm - his parents having removed to Marion Co.  They have had six children - Isaac Ervin, (who died when a little over five years of age); James Melvin, born Oct. 18, 1854, (and was married May 3, 1876, to Miss Ella Gillis of North Bloomfield Tp.); Emma V., Sept. 9, 1856, (and was married Mar. 4, 1879 to James Hammond both of these are residing on farms owned by Mr. Quay); John T., Jr., born May 4, 1858; William S., May 14, 1859; Eva D., Feb. 13, 1861; and George Elroy, Apr. 20, 1865.  Prosperity has, in the main, attended the efforts of Mr. Quay.  At one time his barns and all they contained of grain and farm implements were destroyed by fire.  More recently a tornado unroofed his home, exposing its inmates to the fury of the elements.  But after all these misfortunes he has succeeded, not only as a farmer, but in gaining a high place in the esteem of his fellows.  A trustee of Ohio Central College at Iberia and active in furthering its interests, steadfast in his religious principles and constantly striving for the success of his church, prominent in all movements calculated to better the community in which he resides; and none holds a higher or more secure place in the confidence and esteem of his fellow men.
