REV.
ADOLPH DENGLER is the pastor of St. Henry's Roman
Catholic church at Harrietsville, Ohio. The parents of
Rev. Dengler died in Germany and he is the only
representative of his family in America. He received
his elementary education in his native of country in the
schools of Baden, and came to America in 1892, to continue
his studies at the college of St. Meinrad in Indiana.
He studied theology at Mt. St. Mary's Seminary at
Cincinnati, and was ordained to the ministry of the Holy
Catholic church at Columbus, Sept. 21, 1901. He was
assistant pastor of Holy Cross church at Columbus for one
year, and came to St. Henry's in November, 1902. The
church is a very beautiful one and was erected of dressed
stone at a cost of $20,000, in 1894. In connection is
the parsonage, a modern residence, very handsome and
appropriate. The parishioners comprise about forty
German families. Two outlying missions are also served
by the pastor, one at Berne, in Noble county, and the other
at Hohman, Washington county. One visit to his
missions necessitates a ride of 17 miles, yet he holds two
services each Sunday, one at his home church and one at one
of the missions, alternating between them. A school is
in connection with this church, which is taught by a layman,
and where proper instructions are given in all details of
religious and educational work. Father Dengler
is a young man of progressive ideas and broad culture, an
honor to his high calling and also to those who confide
their spiritual training to him.

CASSIUS O. DYE.
- Ezekiel Dye was the first of that name to settle in
what is now Noble county. He was born in New Jersey,
removed to Westmoreland county, Pa., and in 1804 removed
once more to Ohio settling in what is now Brookfield
township, then a part of Morgan county. He took up
land from the government, the deed being signed by
President James Madison. The place is still known
as the "Old Dye Settlement," and a portion of the
original land purchase still remains in the possession of
the descendants. EZEKIEL DYE
was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, taking prominent
part in the battle of Monmouth. He was married twice,
the first wife being Betsy Cox, of Pennsylvania, and
of the same family as "Sunset" Cox. She bore
him ten children: Thomas, Ezekiel, Vincent, William,
John, Amos, Rebecca, Polly, Sarah, and Acha, all
of whom are now deceased, leaving descendants in Eastern
Ohio. The second marriage was to Mrs. Sarah
(Egbert) Paul, and to them were born nine children:
Joseph, Louis, James, FURMAN, Morgan,
Betsey, Lucinda, Charlotte and Cynthia, all of
whom are now deceased except Furman, the youngest.
Mr. Dye was a nephew of Anthony Applegate, of
Revolutionary fame, who was shot in his own door by the
Tories. Furman Dye was the youngest child of
Ezekiel Dye, and was born in March, 1820, at the old
homestead near Renrock, now Noble county. He was
reared in that vicinity, and has spent his entire life in
Morgan and Noble counties. He received a good
education and taking up the study of medicine, prepared for
that profession, but never practiced. He has always
been a man of note in the section of the state in which he
lived, taking a prominent part in public affairs as a
political speaker. He was married to Lucy McElroy,
a native of Noble county, and a daughter of Samuel
McElroy, of Irish descent and an early settler of
Eastern Ohio. To Mr. and Mrs. Dye were born
seven children: Laura, now Mrs. Carr, of
Coshocton; Wayland, a physician, now deceased;
Henrietta, deceased; Courtland H., deceased;
Georgia, wife of J. A. McClellan of Cumberland;
Cassius O.; and Forrest R., city editor of
the Zanesville Signal. Furman Dye and wife are
both living and enjoying their old age in the village of
Renrock. Cassius O. Dye was born in Morgan
county, on Nov. 28, 1866, and was reared and educated there.
He began his career as a teacher, and followed that vocation
for about eight years, in the meantime reading law. In
1892 he came to Caldwell and continued his studies in the
offices of J. M. McGinnis, and in March, 1893, he was
admitted to the bar beginning to practice immediately, and
continuing to the present time. In the spring of 1899
he was elected mayor of Caldwell, serving one term, and in
the spring of 1899 he was again elected to that position,
serving another term. In the fall of 1897 he was the
Democratic candidate for Representative in the state
legislature, and although the county is about six hundred
Republican, he was beaten by only eighty-eight. Mr.
Dye was married in 1888 to Florence Thorla,
daughter of F. W. Thorla, an old resident of
Brookfield. Four children have been born to them,
Valerie Ethel, Dorothy Edith, Donald Leslie, and
Florence Muriel. Mr. Dye is a member of the
Knights of Pythias, being district deputy Grand Chancellor
for the counties of Noble, Washington, Morgan and Monroe.
He and wife are members of the Presbyterian church.
