MICHAEL C. DAUB,
an honored resident of Rice, Monroe township, Putnam county,
Ohio, is the senior member of the firm of Daub & Lewis,
who for the past five years have been successfully engaged
in the manufacture and sale of high-grade tile at this
point. Michael Daub, father of M. C. and H.
M. Daub (postmaster at Rice), was a native of Germany,
where he was born Nov. 1, 1813. In his youth he became
proficient in a trade which is now gone into decadence,
learning to manufacture wrought iron nails, the whole
process being accomplished by hand. He worked at his
trade until seventeen years of age, having in the meanwhile
acquired a good German education. At the age noted he
came, in company with an uncle, to America, and settled in
Lancaster county, Pa., and when twenty-five years of age, he
was united in marriage to Catherine Harmon.
Their children in order of birth are as follows:
Lydia, wife of James Whitmer; Amos who died in
infancy; David; Rebecca, wife of James A. Bruner;
Catherine, wife of James A. Mills; Sarah,
wife of Andrew Rockey; Henry M. and
Michael C. The parents retained their resilience
in Lancaster county, Pa., for many years and there all their
children were born, the father having been engaged in
farming and quarrying. In 1866 he came to Sandusky
county, Ohio, and thence removed to Seneca county, where he
remained until 1885, when he came to Putnam county.
The mother's death occurred in 1880, she having been a
devoted member of the United Brethren church.
Michael C. Daub was born in Lancaster county,
Pa., Dec. 5, 1857, passing his youth on the old homestead
farm and receiving a common English education. In the
year 1880 he came to Monroe township, Putnam county, Ohio,
and has since been identified with the interests of this
section. For a time he was engaged in farming and
later purchased forty acres of wooded land, and gave his
attention to its reclamation. He finally bought a farm
of eighty acres and devoted himself to its cultivation for
five years. In 1890 he became identified with his
present line of business, the firm having a well equipped
plant, from which is turned out tile of the most superior
order—a fact which has secured to them a good patronage,
which is constantly increasing in extent. Mr.
Daub is well deserving of the title of a self-made
man, since he has gained his present prosperity entirely
through his own efforts. In politics he is a stanch
republican. In 1882 he was united in marriage to Margaret
A. Parrott, who was born in Fayette county, Ohio, Apr.
1, 1862. The children of this union are Wallie B.,
Alpha, Arullie, Leafy M., and Perry W.
Mrs. Daub's father, J. S. Parrott,
is one of the substantial and honored pioneer citizens of
Monroe township, being of German descent. His
grandfather, Samuel Parrott emigrated from the
fatherland and settled in Rockingham county, Va., where he
owned a large plantation, distillery and a number of slaves.
In an early day he removed with his family to Perry county,
Ohio, where he remained until his death. He was a
democrat in politics and a Presbyterian in his religious
faith; he was an active participant in the Revolutionary war
and saw many years of hard service. Phillip
Parrott, father of John S., was born in
Rockingham county, Va., and there passed his entire life.
He was the proprietor of 360 acres of land, and conducted an
extensive business in the distilling and merchant-milling
line. He took up arms in defense of the Union in the
war of 1812. He married Barbara Snider,
of Rockingham county, Va., and their children in order of
birth were as follows: Bronson M., Susanna, Jeremiah,
Leanna, John, Mary A., Samuel, Barbara E. and John S.
In politics the father was a democrat, and religiously was a
member of the Methodist church, while his wife adhered to
the Presbyterian faith.
John S. Parrott was born in Rockingham county,
Mar, 23, 1825, and in that county was united in marriage to
Angeline Fifer, a native of the same county,
born Oct. 25, 1821, the daughter of Benjamin and
Elizabeth A. (Daugherty) Fifer, the former of whom was
born June 28, 1803, and the latter July 3, 1810. Four
years after their marriage Mr. and Mrs.
Parrott removed to Fayette county, Ohio, and thence
to Illinois, finally returning to Fayette county, where the)
remained until 1865, when they removed to Monroe township,
Putnam county, locating in the woods and reclaiming a farm
of seventy-four acres. In politics Mr.
Parrott was an adherent to the faith of his father, and
has served his township as trustee; both In and his wife
have long been members of the Christian church Mr.
Parrott inherited a distinctive loyalty and in the time
of his country’s need tendered his services in her defense,
enlisting July 3, 1862, as a member of company C, Ninetieth
Ohio volunteer infantry, and participating in active
campaign work throughout Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and
Georgia—in which connection he participated in the battles
of Stone River, Shelbyville, Nashville, Chickamauga, Lookout
Mountain and Mission Ridge. The children of Mr. and
Mrs. Parrott are in order of birth as follows:
William H., Mary J., Perry F., Samuel E., Elizabeth E.,
Cynthia A., Cyrus H., Margaret, John S., Harvey and
Rose E.
