JOHN L. KINCAID,
a prosperous farmer of Champion township, Trumbull county, Ohio, is
a native of the township in which he now resides, born Oct. 17,
1848, a son of Thomas Kincaid, who was born in County
Tyrone, Ireland, in 1800. Thomas was the son of
James and Ruth Kincaid, life-long residents
of Ireland and of Scotch lineage. Thomas learned the
weaver's trade, which, with farming, he followed in Ireland.
He and his brother Robert were the only members of the family
who ever came to America. The latter settled in Canada, while
Mr. Kincaid came to the United States, accompanied by
his family, about 1830. He lived at Warren for a time, then
purchased a tract of timbered land of seventy-five acres, upon which
there was a Log cabin. He came without means, save enough to
purchase stock with. He began to clear off his forest land and
two years later he sold his young stock and oxen to a Mr.
Adams, who had a large farm in Warren township, and with the
money made a part payment on his land, and then was employed by
Mr. Adams for one year, receiving one hundred and fifty
dollars and his house rent with feed for two cows. At the end
of the year he returned to his own land and there resumed work and
remained there until his death in his ninetieth year. He was
twice married. His second wife was Mrs. Mary (Lamb)
Rafferty, a daughter of Alexander Lamb, a native
of Tyrone. By this marriage union the following
children were born: Laura, James, Thomas,
Alexander, John L. By the first marriage the issue
was one daughter, Mary J. The mother had two children
by her first marriage—Nancy and Henry.
John L. Kincaid began his career by farming his
father's land on shares for a few years, and then bought a tract of
land in Warren township, where he began to make necessary
improvements. He built a small house at first and has from
time to time added to his first land purchase, until he now owns one
hundred and thirteen acres, all in a fine state of cultivation.
He was united in marriage May 20, 1869, to Emma
Blankenburg, born in Girard, Trumbull county, Ohio, a daughter
of Henry Blankenburg, born in Germany, and left an orphan at
the age of nine years, being reared among strangers. When a
young man he came to America, locating at Girard, where he engaged
in mining. He was industrious and saved his earnings. In
1854 he bought a tract of land in the northwestern part of the
township. There the improvements consisted of a small clearing
around a small log cabin. He continued to work at the mines a
part of his time for several years, and devoted the balance of his
time to his farm. By thus vigorously working he became the
owner of a good farm property and there resided until his death.
His wife's maiden name (mother of Mrs. Kincaid) was
Dorothy Hardman, a native of Germany, and a daughter of
Michael and Margaret Hardman. She
came to America with her parents at the age of three years and was
reared at Girard, where the father bought a farm and resided many
years. Mrs. Kincaid's mother died on the farm.
The children in this family were Emma, Alice, Mary,
Lewis and Charles.
The children born to Mr. and Mrs.
Kincaid are as follows: William H. Mary
Alice, Dora B., Nellie May, Clarence J.
and Harvey G., born Nov. 30, 1890, died May 3, 1892.
William H. married Laura Neff and they have one son,
Merle; Mary Alice married Josephus Stine
and their son is named Harry; Dora B. married
William Hulmes and their son is Harold; Nellie
May married Bird Pangborn. The mother
belongs to the Grace Evangelical church. In politics Mr.
Kincaid is a Democrat.

JOSEPH
KREITLER, father of Mrs. Henry A. Simon, and
long honored as a sturdy and industrious pioneer of Lordstown
township, Trumbull county, was born in Diesen Hohenzollern, Germany,
December 9, 1829. He was the youngest son of John and
Bridget (Rebholtz) Kreitler, both natives of Germany, and there
the mother spent her active years. The father came to America
late in life, spending his later days with his son at Warren Ohio.
Joseph Kreitler received a good common school education in
the fatherland and afterward was apprenticed to learn the trade of a
millwright, which he followed in Switzerland until 1853. He
then came to America, settling in South Dedham, Massachusetts, where
he worked at the cabinet-making trade until 1860, when he settled at
Warren, Ohio. The next year he purchased a small tract of
land, cultivating it and working at his trade until 1876. His
sons were in the meantime doing all they could toward clearing up
the land their father had bought. From that year (1876) he
engaged in farming, although it was a vocation in which he had no
experience, but he made a success of it and remained on the place
until his death, April 25, 1895. He married, July 31, 1855,
Josephine Kaeppler, a native of Baden, Germany, who came to this
country with her widowed mother, brother and sisters, who settled
near Boston, Massachusetts, where some of the descendants still
live. Mrs. Kreitler died June 15, 1903. She had
reared eight children: Joseph, George, Josephine, Louisa,
Charles Franklin, Albert, Reinhart and Walter Edwin.
Mr. and Mrs. Kreitler were devout Christians and reared their
children in habits of morality and industry.
In closing this memoir, it may not be amiss to state by
what process Mr. Kreitler carved out his successful life.
He landed upon our shores, a stranger in a strange land, unable to
speak or read the English language. His earthly possession was
a five-franc piece and at the time of his coming times were very
dull. Had his money been sufficient, he would have returned to
his native land. There was no demand for other than skilled
labor and that at low wages. Fortunately, he secured work in a
wood-working shop, where handles were turned out in large
quantities. He remained there a year, receiving but sixty
dollars for his work. He then found employment in a furniture
factory of Truesdale and Townsend, in which he
continued until he went to Ohio. Before his death he had well
mastered the English language, and was an extensive reader, well
Americanized, loved the Stars and Stripes, and, in view of his early
advantages, reached a plane of life most creditable alike to
himself, his family, and his adopted country.
