  10. ↑ "Dennis Shinew, father of our subject [Thomas Shinew], was born in Canton Fribourg, Switzerland, about 1828. When he was seven years old he was brought by his parents to the United States, who located in Columbus, Ohio: about 1840 they came to Wood county, and Mr. Shinew bought eighty acres of land in Section 12, in Portage township. Here he erect a log house, with its stick chimney and puncheon floor. He died after four years' residence in Wood county. Mrs. Shinew lived to be eighty years old. When sixteen years old Dennis left home, and went to work for a farmer for fifty cents a day. January 8, 1850, he has married to Miss Catherine Gunder; who was born in Harrisburg, Penn., September 16, 1834, and a daughter of Isaac Gunder. Mr. Dennis Shinew bought land in Montgomery township, for which he went in debt, and in March came to Section 9, Portage township, and bought seventy-seven acres, on which he lives at present. To him and his wife have been born these children: Thomas, our subject: Isaac, a farmer of Portage; George, also of Portage; Ellen, now Mrs. James Nelson, of Wood county; Eliza, who died in infancy; Susan, at home; Matilda, who married George Neirnberger, of Portage township; Frank D., living on a farm in Portage. Mr. Shinew is a Democrat, but is not an office seeker, and is not bound by party ties. He is a member of the German Baptist Church. He is a self-made man, and one whose success has been won by hard work. In 1877 he built one of the most substantial brick residences in the township, which has often been a rendezvous for travelers, who would make it a point to go there for meals and lodgings, with which they were always accommodated. Mr. Shinew has retired from active life, and is at present enjoying the fruits of his early labors."
