MICHAEL KING,
farmer, was born Feb. 29, 1820, section 35, Thorn township;
his post office is Thornville, Ohio. He is a son of
Christian King and grandson of Rev. John King,
who was the first preacher ever settled on the soil of Perry
county. The Rev. John King was a native of a
Rhinish Province in Germany; same to America with his wife
and his sons, John, Peter and Christian, (the
father of Mike), and one daughter, Morelius,
with him, prior to the adoption of the Federal Constitution,
which fact naturalized him and made him a voter without
papers. He must have come to Ohio and settled on
section 35, in Thorn township, as early as 1802 or 1803.
At any rate he found a very few neighbors, and of that best
friend to man, money, he had but 25 cents left on arrival in
the forests of Perry. He had, however, a four-horse
team of good horses and a good old fashioned wagon, and, it
is to be presumed, a good share of provisions and clothing
in it. He must have been a fine German scholar, as any
one may learn by inspection of the superb constitution, in
his hand writing, of the Presbyterian and Lutheran church of
Zion, dated in 1805, and now in possession of the venerable
George Daniels, of Thorn township. From the
date of his arrival in America, probably in 1787, to 1802 or
1803, when he came to Ohio, he resided in the State of
Virginia. He was an expert in the selection of land in
a new country, and this characteristic has benefited his
descendants to this day, who still hold the same acres, and
many more, selected at first by this old patriarch of the
early time in Perry county. He pre-empted a half
section, began cutting a road from his cabin to the Zane
Trace, and hauled salt form Chillicothe by way of Lancaster,
for a livelihood. He must also have saved some money,
for a few years later, the searching glances or land buyers
was turned upon his acres, not yet safe from their power to
obtain, when he, through the friendship and aid of the
Receiver at Chillicothe, closed his pre-emption and got a
patent. He was a teacher of German and music in the
infant schools of his day, and his enterprise also erected a
still house in Virginia and Ohio, and the whisky he made was
doubtless as pure as the gospel he preached. He was a
heavy set, stoutly built man, of kind disposition, inclined
to books and industrial vocations. His children, born
in America, were George, Jacob, Mrs. Spoon and
Mrs. Brock, Christena King, Philip King and the Rev.
Henry King now of the Reform Church, and still living,
and who, with Mrs. Catharine Brock, post office
Hamilton, Ohio, are the sole survivors of the ten children.
Philip died near Salem, Ohio, and was the father of
Peter King, late of Perry; George died near
Stoutsville, Fairfield county; Peter King died near
Glenford, Perry county, where some of his children still
reside; Morelius, wife of Alexander Costonion,
died on the home farm, section 35, where with Christian
she shared the paternal homestead. Christian King,
father of Michael, prior to 1812, was married to
Margaret Basore, a sister of Mrs. John Humberger,
still living. They became the parents of Nine sons and
three daughters, who grew to be men and women, and one child
that died young. The sons were, John, Samuel,
Michael, Henry, Christian, Frederick, David, Simon, and
Reuben. The daughters were, Mary M.,
deceased, wife of Henry Humberger, also deceased;
Margaret, widow of Daniel Fisher; Mary Ann wife
of Jacob Ramsey, Columbia City, Indiana. The
father of the children died in 1852, and the mother followed
in 1862, in the 69th year of her age. He made a will
and appointed his sons, Samuel and Michael,
its executors. Michael King was married Jan. 3,
1847, to Miss Franey Auspach, daughter of
Christian Auspach. Their children are, Franklin,
husband of Miss Ella, daughter of John Beagler,
Thornville, Ohio; William Henry and David, Miss
Tena Ann and Miss Ida Alice - three sons
and two daughters. He began his married life, by
buying, in partnership, one hundred and eighty-three acres,
subject to dower of Molly Humberger and two-elevenths
belonging to heirs where he now resides, for $20 per acre,
subject to dower. He paid in part a quarter section of
land in Whitley county, Indiana, at %600. He now owns
in fee one hundred and seventy-six acres alone and is
helping his married son to pay for one hundred and
twenty-eight acres in section 13, Thorn township. His
barn caught fire in 1869, by a overheated threshing machine
while in motion, and he lost it and its contents, but it was
insured for $800, and he has replaced it with a splendid
structure. In 1860 he built of brick, a comfortable
farmer's mansion, and though not modern in all its parts, is
a model of comfort and, especially the part devoted to the
kitchen and dining rooms, where the best of bread and the
most golden rose scented butter tempt the gustatory nerves
and pronounce the highest eulogy on the high toned,
practical education of Perry county wives and their blooming
daughters.

PHILIP
KLIPSTINE, farmer, Monroe township, post office
Corning; was born Aug. 20, 1820, in Greene county,
Pennsylvania; son of William and Nancy (Shuman)
Klipstine. When Philip was about
four years old, his father moved to Tyler county, Virginia.
When twenty-two years of age Philip came to Monroe
township, Perry county. Having but little financial
means he worked by the month as a farm hand, until Apr. 23,
1843, when he was married to Miss Emeline Reese.
He then purchased the farm where he now resides. They
are the parents of four children - Sarah, married to
James C. Dew; Mary married to William J. Todd;
Martha, married to Thomas Killkinney, since
died; Kate, married to Cyrus M. Brown.
When Mr. Klipstine first came to this township, deer
and wild turkey were abundant. He has seen the
hardships of pioneer life, having cleared over one hundred
acres of rough timber land, and he now enjoys the fruits of
his labor, living in a comfortable home, independent of
work.

JOSEPH
KUHN, farmer, son of Michael Kuhn, who
emigrated from Strausburg, France, in 1831, after which he
married Nancy Clover who became the mother of
Rosanna, George, John, Lewis, Mary and Joseph Kuhn, the
subject of this sketch, who was married to Miss Harriet
Louisa Murdock, in October, 1875. When a boy only
nine years old he began life in the service of George
Skipton, and his childless wife, who was Jane,
daughter of James McCormick. Mr. Skipton died
in 1880, at the advanced age of eighty-four, and by his will
left his beautiful farm of sixty-seven acres to Joseph
Kuhn, subject to the life estate of his aged widow.
This high testimonial to the worth of faithfulness of Mr.
Kuhn, was not more than he deserved, and is evidence of
an appreciation thus worthily express by his benefactor and
benefactress.
