JAMES G. LEWIS .- During many years the Lewis family have been honored residents of Trumbull county, and during later years have been conspicuously identified with the public life of Girard. Edward J. Lewis. the father of James G., was born in Weathersfield township of Trumbull county January 20, 1860, but his father, J. E. Lewis, was from Wales. On coming to America in 1836 he established his home in Pennsylvania, and later became numbered among the early pioneers of Trumbull county, Ohio, where he found employment as a bookkeeper and was also associated with Todd and Morris in the mining business. He lived to the age of

sixty-four years, and was laid to rest among others of the honored early pioneers of Trumbull county. His politics were Democratic and his frater- nal relations were with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. In his early life J. E. Lewis married Sarah Perry, who was of Welsh descent, but a native daughter of Pomeroy, Ohio.
Edward J. Lewis is the younger of the two sons born to J. E. and Sarah Lewis, and in his native township of Weathersfield he grew to mature years and received his educational training. When but a lad of ten he started out for himself, working for a time at any honorable occupation that presented itself and thus became familiar with many lines of work. principal among which was the milling business, which he followed for sixteen years. From 1892 until 1899 he was engaged in the coal business, and in 1898 he was appointed by President Lincoln as the post- master of Girard, and is now serving his third term in that office. He is a stanch and true Republican, an efficient worker for his party's interest, and he is well known in the county in which his life has been spent. In 1880 Edward J. Lewis was married to Elizabeth Williams, whose birth also occurred in the township of Weathersfield, but her father, Richard W. Williams, was born in Wales. Coming to the United States he established his home in Weathersfield township, Trumbull county, Ohio, during the early history of this community, and soon became one of its well known residents. Six children were born to Edward J. and Elizabeth Lewis, --- James G., Bessie. Adessa, John T., Richard W. and Edna.
James (. Lewis is a native born son of Girard, his birth occurring on the 22nd of September, 1881, and here he was reared and received his elementary educational training. this being supplemented by a course at Hall's Commercial College at Youngstown. He is now serving his ninth vear as the assistant postmaster of Girard and his second term as the city treasurer. Like his father, he is an active party worker in the interest of Republican politics, and in addition to his official duties he is an able news- paper correspondent for several journals. He is a member of the Masonic order. of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of the Modern Woodmen of America and of the Royal Arcanum.
JOSEPH KREITLER, father of Mrs. Henry A. Simon, aud 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 pur- chased a small tract of land, cultivating it and working at his trade until

1826. 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 descend- ants 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-frane 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. Ile 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 informed on current events throughout the world. He was thoroughly Americanized, loved the Stars and Stripes, and, in view of his early advan- tages, reached a plane of life most ereditable alike to himself, his family, and his adopted country.
C. I. C'LINITE .-- A man of energy, industry and perseverance, endowed with much mechanical ability and ingenuity, C. I. Clinite, of Warren, is busily and successfully engaged in business as a contractor and builder, his home being at No. 68 West Market street, Warren. A son of John Clinite, he was born April 29, 1852, in Fowler, Trumbull county, coming from substantial pioneer stock. his Grandfather Clinite having located in Trumbull county on coming to the United States from Germany, in the early part of the last century.
Born in Germany, John Clinite was but two years old when he was brought to Ohio. He was reared to agricultural pursuits, and when ready to establish a home of his own located in Warren township, where he carried on general farming for some time. He subsequently moved with his family to Fowler, and there spent his last years. He married Lucy Baker, who was born in Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, of German ancestry, being a daughter of Philip Baker, who was born in Germany.
With the exception of a few years spent in Union City, Randolph county, Indiana, C. I. ('linite has always been a resident of Trumbull county. He was educated in Warren, attending the graded and high schools. At

the age of eighteen years he began learning the trade of a brick layer, and after becoming proficient in it almost the first work that he did was on the present Methodist Episcopal church edifice. For thirteen years Mr. Clinite was in the employ of J. R. Sealy, and was afterwards foreman, in Youngs- town, for Thomas Connell. Forming then a partnership with R. S. Elliott, he was associated with him for six years, carrying on a lucrative business as a contractor and builder. Since the death of Mr. Elliott, Mr. Clinite has conducted the business alone, in his operations being uniformly suc- cessful, being one of the leading contractors of the city.
Mr. Clinite married, in 1874, Rebecca Mesmer, and to them two daugh- ters have been born, namely: Mary, wife of C. L. Schoroer, of Warren, and Helen, wife of A. L. Ohl, of Warren. A zealous advocate of the principles of the Republican party, Mr. Clinite has acceptably filled many local offices, serving in the City Council, and on the City Board of Health. He is a prominent member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and takes great interest in promoting its welfare. He is widely known throughout Trumbull county, and has erected many buildings of note, among them being the Christian Church building, the First Church building, the Wal- lace and Parker blocks, and other buildings in Warren.
