Person:Peter Everingim (1)

"Born in Newark, New Jersey, June 10, 1809, Peter Everingim was but a boy whe he was brought to Ohio, and was here reared amid pioneer scenes. Settlers were then few and far between, and the farmers used to haul their surplus products from Richland to the lake settlements with ox teams. Sandusky was the nearest market place until the canal was extended to Milan. Working with his father, he learned the carpenter's trace and lived in Richland county until 1838, when he settled in Lyme township, Huron county. In that township he bought prairie land, while just across the line in Sherman township he purchased timbered land. Building a substantial hewed log house, he devoted his time to improving his land and tilling the soil. He was very successful, and bought land in Peru township and in Kosciusko county, Indiana. In 1852 he sold his Lyme township property and bought 178 acres in Ridgefield township and occupied it a number of years. Locating then in Monroeville, he purchased a comfortable home, and there resided until his death, in 1888, aged nearly four score years. His wife, whose maiden name was Jane Champion was born in Pennsylvania, but was brought by her parents to Richland county, Ohio when a child. She died in 1888, leaving seven children, namel: Alfred, John, William, Elizabeth A., Thomas, James S. and Charles T."
