FRED WASSMAN, JR., is manager of the firm styled Fred Wassman & Son. which conducts the flourishing shoe store at No. 3267 Belmont street, Bellaire.
Fred Wassman, Sr., was born in Wheeling, West Virginia, and is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wassman, both natives of Germany. The elder Mr. Wassman and wife came to this country before marriage and settled at Wheeling, where they were married. Though practically without capital, having a good trade mpon which to rely, he soon afterward opened in the Eighth Ward of that city a boot and shoe store, which he conducted with success for many years. About 1870, however, he disposed of this business and moved to Bel- laire, where he erected a large building-the one now occupied by Seller's music store and the Wassman tailor shop and there he opened another boot and shoe store, and also engaged in some manufacturing. The last named industry, though having realized from
454
CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF BELMONT COUNTY,
it large profits, he discontinued in 1885, and turned his attention exclusively to the mer- cantile business. In 1801 he erected the large and elegant building on Belmont street where the business is now being conducted and a year later moved there. A wise finan- cier, successful in his line, he always derived from his business a large income, part of which he invested in city property. At the time of his death, which occurred in 1900, in his 71st year, he owned besides his shoe store four other large shops on Belmont street ex- tending to the Carroll corner. Mr. Wass- man and his wife had six children, whom they reared, all but one of whom were born in Wheeling -- Louisa, who married a Mr. Braunlich; Minnie, Fred, Jr., William, who is married and is a merchant and tailor in Bellaire; Charles, who is also married, and who is cashier of the Baltimore & Ohio R. R. at Bellaire, and Carrie. The family now re- side in the building partly occupied by the store. Mr. Wassman was a man of pro- nounced political views and affiliated with the Democrats. Fraternally he belonged to the 1. O. O. F.
Fred Wassman, Jr., has for some time been connected with the shoe store which he is now, with the help of his sisters, Minnie and Carrie, so ably conducting. The building in which he is carrying on his business is a large three-story structure, 33 by Ho feet, and his store is on the first floor. The Bell Tele- phone office is on the second floor, and the Masonic Hall on the third. Mr. Wassman handles the best grade of goods, a thorough- ly up-to-date stock, and the largest probably of its kind in the city. His show window is certainly the most attractive and draws a large and paying custom. As a business man he stands high in his community, and by his honesty and square dealing, as well as marked ability, he has won the confidence of all who know him.
Besides attending to his store, Mr. Wass- man finds time for the performance of public and social duties, and he served the Third Ward very efficiently for four years as a mem-
ber of the City Council. In politics he is a Democrat. . Fraternally he affiliates with the K. of P .: Uniform Rank, K. of P .; the B. P. O. E. and the F. & A. M., Lodge No. 267, of Bellaire. Though the parents were Lutherans, Mr. Wassman and his brothers and sisters are Presbyterians.
JOHN GIFFIN, a representative farmer and most highly esteemed citizen of Pultney township, Belmont County, Ohio, who is also a survivor of the Civil War, was born in Pease township, on High Ridge, April 26, 1842, a son of Robert and Sarah (Hinkle) Giffin, and a brother of Hugh Giffin, in whose sketch in this volume appears extended men- tion of the Giffin family, which originated in Scotland and was founded in Virginia 116 years ago.
Mr. Giffin was reared on the home farm and secured his education in the district schools of Pease township. His life has been an agricultural one, broken into by a ser- vice of five months in the army in Company 1, 170th Ohio Vol. Inf., during the Civil War, and he now recalls those experiences as a member of Branum Post, G. A. R., No. 221.
In 1866 Mr. Giffin married Margaret C. McAllister, who is a sister to the wife of Hugh Giffin. After marriage our subject and wife resided on High Ridge until 1878, and then moved to Franklin station, Rich- land township, where Mr. Giffin was engaged for three years in farming, returning then to Pease township, where he operated very suc- cessfully for 16 years the place known as the Alexander farm. The tract known as the Nelson farm was then for sale, and this Mr Giffin bought and farmed it for five years, selling then in order to purchase his present most desirable farm located in section 2. Pultney township, to which the family re- moved in April, 1902.
The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Giffin were nine in number, namely, Andrew Chal-

mer, who died at the age of seven months; Joseph A., who resides in Pease township, married Emma Wise and has two children, Carl and Russell; Anna M., who is the wife of Charles Wise, resides on the Keyser farm and they have three children, Nellie F., Flor- ence and Theodore; Frank Merwood, who married Gertrude Cunningham, resides near Bellaire, their children being Lelah, Frank, Ralph and Edith, deceased; Lizzie D., Martin Wilbur, Everett J., Calvin Earl and Margaret Helen, all at home, making a pleasant, happy family circle.
Until 1880 Mr. Giffin voted the Demo- cratic ticket, but since that time he has ac- tively supported the Republican party. While a resident of Richland township he served ac- ceptably as township trustee and is now president of the Pultney township school board. Mr. Giffin's fraternal membership is in the order of Knights of Pythias. His an- cestors have all been earnest workers in the Presbyterian Church, and in that faith he was reared by a careful and pious mother. He is an elder in the Rock Hill Church and is clerk of the session. Mr. Giffin is a public spirited man.
CHARLES ARNOLD, one of Bellaire's eminent and valuable citizens, is a member of the drug firm of Charles Arnold & Company, whose first-class establishment is at No. 3123 Union street. Mr. Arnold has been connected with this drug business since July 5, 1892, hav- ing purchased at that time the store of D. TI. Darrah, which had been established for a num- ber of years. A full line of the best pure drugs is carried, in addition to the numerous large and small articles usually found in a store of the kind; the compounding of prescriptions constitutes a large part of the firm's business.
Mr. Arnold is a son of Adam and Barbara ( Rice ) Arnold, was born in 1867 near Bealls- ville. Monroe County, Ohio, and spent his youthful days in that vicinity. Adam Arnold was born in Fulda, Hesse Darmstadt, Ger-
many, and immigrated to the United States while still a boy, proceeding to Wheeling, ( West ) Virginia, upon his arrival in this coun- try. fle spent only a short time in that city, however, going from there to Bellaire, where by diligence and study he mastered the En- glish language. Removing from Bellaire in 1852, he worked in the southern part of Bel- mont County at various places and finally went to Monroe County and began farming there. In this he met with the best of success and at times he also superintended the loading of coal barges, and made trips on the river.
Adam Arnold was united in marriage with Barbara Rice, a daughter of John Rice, one of the pioneer settlers of Belmont County. She was a native of Bavaria, Germany, and her death, as well as that of Mr. Arnold, took place in 1895. They had a large family, con- sisting of 12 children, of whom io are still survivors and are widely separated by their respective homes. One child resides at What- com, Washington; one daughter lives in But- ler, Pennsylvania, and one in Pittsburg; two daughters and one son are still inmates of the old homestead in Monroe County; a son, George Arnold, is an attorney-at-law in Bel- laire, having his office over the Post Office. Ile is accounted one of the most able and eloquent barristers of the city and has a good general practice. His birth took place February 5, 1863, in Monroe County ; after his early edu- cation. he studied law at Woodsfield, Ohio, in the office of Hunter & Mallory, being admitted to the bar in June, 1890. At that date he came to Belmont County, became a teacher and fol- lowed that profession for to years, beginning the practice of law in 1900. His marriage with Louisa C. Zink, of Monroe County, was pro- lific of three children, namely, Minnie N., Paul E. and Esther A. The family now reside at Powhatan Point, York township, Belmont County, of which town Mr. Arnold is the pres- ent mayor. He supports the Democratic party in politics and has served creditably as justice of the peace in Pultney township. Fraternally he affiliates with the Knights of Pythias, being a member of Black Prince Lodge of Bellaire.

CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF BELMONT COUNTY,
Our subject was reared upon his father's farm and attended public school at Beallsville, Ohio, afterward taking a course at the normal school in that city, also. He then became a school teacher and pursued that calling for three years in Monroe County. In 1888 he entered the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and two years later completed the course in pharmacy. In 1890 and 1891 he was employed as a pharmacy clerk at Ravenswood, West Virginia, and in 1892 he purchased his present business from Mr. Darrah. In his business career he has shown good judgment and marked ability; he has become popular among his fellow citizens and has secured a good patronage.
Mr. Arnold is a member of and worker in the Methodist Episcopal Church of Bellaire, and in fraternal circles affiliates with Black Prince Lodge, No. 57, K. of P., and Arlington Division, No. 92, Uniform Rank, K. of P., both of Bellaire.
MRS. MARY E. CLEMENS. One of the beautiful, historic old residences of Bel- mont County, Ohio, is located in Pease township, near Blaine, and is owned and oc- cupied by Mrs. Mary E. Clemens, who in- herited it from her well-known father, the late Joshua Burley. This residence was probably built by the Patterson family, as early as 1827, and it, with the surrounding farm and the stone mill, came into Mr. Bur- ley's possession from the Ogleby estate in 1867.
The birth of Mrs. Clemens took place in Marshall County, West Virginia, then Vir- ginia, a daughter of Joshua and Catherine (Rosebury) Burley, the former of whom was born in Marshall County, Virginia, in 181-1, and died in Pease township, Belmont County, Ohio, in 1883. His father was one of the first sheriffs of Marshall County and Joshua served for a long period as his dep- uty, and later succeeded to the office, which he held for two terms. Mr. Burley was also a capitalist, and was one of the most sub-
stantial men of his township. As noted, he purchased the farm now occupied by his daughter, in March, 1867, and as this prop- erty lay in the proposed path of the C., L. & W. Railway, his granting of the right of way proved very profitable to him. The company, with other considerations, gave him an engine for his grist-mill, it formerly having been operated by water power. Mr. Burley did not live long to enjoy his pleasant country home; moving upon it in 1880, he died in 1883. He married Catherine Rose- bury, who was born in 1813 in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, and died in 1888. Joshua Bur- ley and wife had four children, namely: Mary E., who became Mrs. Clemens; James L., who lived on the farm and operated the mill for some years, but now resides at Mountain Lake Park, Maryland, a civil en- gineer by profession; Frank, who is engaged in business at Bridgeport, Ohio, and Sarah, who married Robert Sweeney, an uncle of the present Mayor .A. T. Sweeney, of Wheel- ing. Both of them, with their infant child, are deceased. Mlrs. Clemens' brother, James L., is a man of large business interests and is engaged in platting property at Lock Lynn, Maryland, having done the same previously at Mountain Lake Park. When he first went there he lived in a tent, while now it has been made a delightful resort. Mr. Burley's wife died a number of years ago, leaving him six sons, three of whom have since died.
On January 30, 1867, Mary E. Burley was married to Jeremiah Clemens, who was born at Wheeling, and died January 16, 1804, aged 53 years. In politics he was a Republican, and his religious membership was with the Methodist Church. He was a charter mem - ber of the Knights of Honor lodge of Wheeling, and for a number of years was its financial reporter. In August, 1868, Mr. and Mrs. Clemens moved fo Muscatine, Towa, where the former opened up a grocery business, but two years later returned to Wheeling, where for 12 years he conducted a prosperous shoe business on the corner of Main and ftth streets. When Mr. Burley

bought the farm he sold his business and re- tired to the country and remained there, caring for his wife's parents until their death. lle was a man of most estimable character and numbered among his intimate friends many of the leading men of this locality. The three children born to our subject and hus- band are: Burley, aged 31 years, engaged in the wholesale liquor business at Mounds- ville, West Virginia, married Mrs. Charles Weaver, formerly Emma Shoemaker, of Woodsfield, Ohio; Frank B., aged 29 years, engaged in the Laughlin Mill, resides with his mother, and Otie, aged 20 years, married William Britton, and they also reside with Mrs. Clemens and have one child, Jessie IIol- lingsworth, who was named for Judge Hol lingsworth, of Belmont County, this dis- tinguished jurist being a close personal friend of both the child's grandfather and great-grandfather.

They continued under this name until 1855 or 56, when Mr. Harden went west and the partner- ship was dissolved. Mr. Bramtun then formed a partnership with Samuel Junkins and Wil- liam Alexander, which firm did a successful business until 1871. He then rented the pres- ent building and established a new business with his two sons, H. G. Bramum and A. C. Branum as partners, continuing until 1883. At this time he sold his interest to his sons and retired from active business life, enjoying his rest until the date of his death, December, 1886, aged seventy years. As a contractor and builder he was everywhere recognized as a skilled workman; as a merchant he had won- derfully good business sagacity ; as a citizen he was always earnest and active in his work, hon- orable and popular. He was one of the found- ors of the Belmont County Bank, which sub- sequently became the First National Bank of Bridgeport, Ohio. He always took an interest in young men and boys, and gave them much good advice. His many little acts of kindness in this regard are yet well-remembered though he has long since pased away. In his religious belief he was a Swedenborgian, as is also his wife, who is now eighty-three years of age, a resident of Bridgeport at the old homestead. She and her husband had eight children ; name- ly. John M .; Mrs. Robinson Frank; A. P. ; H. Greeley, our subject ; A. C. ; P. D. ; Velma ; and Anna. In July, 1862, John M.
