B.
M. INMAN, county clerk of Sandusky county, Ohio, and a
representative citizen of Fremont, belongs to an old prominent
Sandusky County family, where he was born, May 10, 1877.
His parents were Frank M. and Delia (Ensberger) Inman.
FRANK M. INMAN was born and
spent his life in Sandusky County. He owned farming lands
and was quite prominent in Democratic circles and served six
years as county clerk. His father, Benjamin
Inman, was a man of importance in his day and served two
terms in the Ohio State Legislature. Benjamin
Inman died Apr. 14, 1877.
B. M. Inman was educated in the public schools
of his native county and afterward taught school for some time,
accepting then the office of assistant county clerk, in which
capacity her served for six years, his father being clerk during
this period. He then became interested to some degree in
the oil business, but, since 1903, when he was first elected
county clerk, the larger part of his time has been given to the
duties of this office. In 1906 he was reelected and it is
safe to say that he is one of the best qualified as well as most
popular county clerks that Sandusky County has been able to
secure, for years past. In his work he is ably assisted by
his capable wife, who was formerly Miss Clara Swank, who
is a daughter of David Swank, a prominent pioneer of
Sandusky County. Mr. and Mrs. Inman are members of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. Politically he is a
Democrat and fraternally he is an Elk, Odd Fellow and Knight of
Pythias. Mr. Inman was the only child of his
parents and bears the rather unusual name of B. M.
