Biography

"...he married a widow with two children, living near Franklin Square, Columbiana county. Here the family resided until about 1851, when they removed to a farm near Freeburg, OH, which was his home the remainder of his life. He was a very strong and healthy man and seemed to take pleasure in hard work. To "eat bread in the sweat of his face" seemed a delight to him, idleness to him was sin. Being honest, industrious, frugal and religious, and having decided opinions as to a father's duty to his children he endeavored to fix these principles in the lives of his offspring at an early age. He gave to each a fair common school education. As a farmer he was fairly successful. His well kept farm was left a heritage to his children. 

  In 1885 death again visited his home and robbed him of his companion, leaving him again with a broken home, his children having all gone to homes of their own. His younger son, John, and family returned to the old home shortly after, and he was thus relieved of the cares of home and farm. After this he spent much of his time visiting among his children, for whom he had a great love and fatherly concern. He was a man with a ready answer, his repartees were often very forceful. In politics he was a staunch Republican. The Evangelical was his church home in which he was a class leader for thirty-five years. He dearly loved the church of his choice, but was quite at home with the Methodists or Brethren and loved to mingle with them in revival service. Being quite a good singer, he led the congregation with his strong voice with life and spirit. He dearly loved the old church music. His home was always open to the circuit rider and many found a welcome and shelter there. At the age of 74 he was suddenly called to his eternal home leaving to his children the previous memory of a Christian life."S1
