   EMANUEL FLORY
   In the latter half of the century preceding 1800 Abraham Flory
   lived near Meyersdale, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Of his family,
   Joseph, Henry and Emanuel emigrated to Ohio in 1805 ; they were
   likely members of the first organization in the Miami Valley.
   
   They located on government lands near each other, southwest of
   the present village of Trotwood but which was then an unbroken
   wilderness. Joseph, the ancestor of the Florys, a member of Salem
   Church located on what is now known as the Elder Jacob Garber
   farm, Henry on the Waybright farm and Emanuel on the Samuel
   Pfoutz farm. In the division of Miami Valley territory in 1811 they
   became members of Wolf Creek Church where Emanuel was elected
   to the ministry and later ordained and given oversight of Salem Church
   in 1817.
   
   Later he moved to the vicinity of Palestine, Darke County, and be-
   came identified with the early church at that point. He is said to
   have been an earnest student of the Bible, taking it with him to the
   fields to plow and in spare moments read and searched for its hid-
   den truths. He was a vigorous expounder of the Word but always
   in the German language. He is known to have been twice married ;
