FRANK E. CALDWELL, is the
present well-known sheriff of Trumbull county. Although he has
held that office only since the 3rd day of January, 1898, he has
already demonstrated that the trust reposed in him by the people
will be fully and efficiently discharged. A native of the
county, he was born in Bristol township, Aug. 18, 1851, and is the
son of Jas. and Mary Caldwell. His education was
acquired in the district schools and Cortland Academy, his parents
having moved to Cortland when he was about fourteen years old.
After about five years here they moved to West Mecca, and there our

two years. He next returned to Cortland and engaged in the
same line for two years, when he went to Tuscarawas county,
remaining a year, then came back to Trumbull county, and after his
marriage again returned to Tuscarawas county and remained a year,
after which he came to Warren and became deputy clerk of the courts
under his brother, O. A. Caldwell, where he remained about five
years, then becoming deputy sheriff under Sheriff Hoyt, and
continuing in the same position four years under Sheriff McKinley.
He then became bookkeeper for Kirk, Christy & Co. for two
years, when he was one of hte principal organizers of the Warren
Hardware Company, of which he was secretary and treasurer four
years, when poor health compelled him to resign this position.
HE was elected sheriff in the fall of 1897 and assumed the duties of
that office Jan. 3, 1898. His wife was Miss Tillie Jeffery
a native of Mecca Township. She is the daughter of William
H. and Fannie S. Jeffery. To Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell

ALEXANDER CAMPBELL.
Few men of Trumbull county, Ohio, have been more closely identified
with her advancement or contributed more fully to her general
welfare than the subject of this sketch. He is the son of
Hugh and Jane Campbell and was born in Liberty township on the
old Campbell homestead, Aug. 25, 1843. He received the
advantages of a liberal education, attending the schools of Girard,
Warren and Hiram College, equipping himself for the profession of
teaching which he commenced at the age of twenty years and
successfully pursued for thirty years, three years of the time
filling the position of superintendent of the Hubbard High School.
He was eminently successful in his chosen profession, as is evinced
by his teaching the home school sixteen years up to the time he was
honored by county office. A life-long Republican, he has
served in different capacities as a public officer. For
several years he served on the board of education. In 1873 was
a member of the board of trustees. In 1874 and 1875 he was
mayor of Hubbard, and in 1896 he was elected a member of the board
of county commissioners of Trumbull county, Ohio, assuming the
duties of the office in September, 1896. He is a capable and
efficient officer, proving the wisdom of his selection. Mr.
Campbell married Caroline Veach, daughter of Benjamin
and Louis Bentley Veach. She was born in Hubbard township
and attended Polland High School and Hubbard Academy. Six
children have been born to this union, Charles, a farmer of
Hubbard; Dudley, superintendent Church Hill schools; J.
Clyde, assistant paymaster of Mahoning Valley Iron Mills; Roy
and Blanche, at home; Lillie May, who died at the
age of nineteen. The family are members of the M. E.

county, having been born in Lordstown township, May 28, 1859.
He is the son of Solomon R. Chryst, whose sketch appears

where he studied law and was admitted to the bar in June, 1882.

to questions of corporation law and the management of trusts and
estates than to practice in the courts. He is one of the
leading members of the Trumbull county bar and one whose judgment on
legal questions is counted very good. He was joined, Apr. 15,

SOLOMON CHRYST. One of the
most favorably known men of the county is the subject of this
sketch. He came as a Christmas gift to his parents, Jacob
and Lydia Regal Chryst, of Lehigh county, Pa., in the year 1833.
In 1836 he came with his parents to Lordstown township, and it is of
interest to note that a position of his school days were spent at
Hiram College where he was instructed in mathematics by our late
President Garfield. Mr. Chryst has been a practical
business man from his youth, having begun to buy stock at the age of
sixteen, which he has followed more or less ever since. He is
the owner of an excellent stock and grazing farm of 400 acres in
Lordstown, one of the best in the county. In 1868 he went to
Warren city, where he resided some twenty years, dealing in
groceries, meats and general supplies, and returning to the farm in
1887. Our subject has been twice married; first on May 24,
1855, to Miss Elizabeth Johnson, by whom he had three
children - Chas. C. manager of the Park Hotel, Warren, O.;
Frank S., attorney at the same place, and Blanch E., now
deceased. Mrs. Chryst died Apr. 1, 1882. In
December, 1886, he was married to Miss Emma Jane Gifford, a
native of Somersetshire, England, who was born in October, 1855.
Two children have blessed this union. May Elizabeth and
Solomon R., Jr. Mr. Chryst cast his first vote for
Fremont and has ever been a firm believer in protection.
He has the confidence of his fellow men, is free and liberal with
his means and has held many positions of public trust, being at
