He is a son of Michael and Mary ( Space) Hendershot, who emigrated from New Jersey February 15, 1815, locating along Captina Creek. They both died on the home farm when 86 years of age.

der his supervision. He cleared this land at an early day and actively managed it until a few years ago, when it was given into the care of his sons, each of whom receives his share of the crops.


September 30, 1843, Mr. Hendershot mar- ried Sevilla Carpenter, who was born in Mon- roe County, Ohio, in 1834, and is a daughter of Robert Carpenter, who moved to York township, Belmont County. when she was eight years of age. Twelve children were born to them: The eldest died in infancy; Penelope, wife of William Pfeffenbach, resides at Bel- laire; Michael Taylor, who lives on the home farm, married Margaret Linden and has five children ; Robert C., also residing on the home farm, married Lovina Taylor, deceased, and later Margaret Bryson; Henry S., residing on his father's farm, married Elizabeth Bryson; Sevilla Jane, wife of John Graham, resides on her father's farm on Pea Vine Creek; Mary, wife of Christopher Schnegg, lives in York township; Alice, who died at Wheeling, was the wife of David Honey; Margaret, who mar- ried Ross Carle, resides on Pea Vine Creek; George Grant, who resides with his father, married Sarah Diantha Hess; Nancy Ellen, married George Carle and resides near Bel- laire, Pultney township: and Anna Lanra died at the age of three years. Although Mr. Hen- dershot's eyesight has failed rapidly in recent years, he retains all his old-time sagacity in business affairs, and gives counsel to his sons. ITe is most highly esteemed and has friends of long standing in the county. He has always been a Republican since the organization of the party. He was reared a Presbyterian, but is inclined to be liberal in his views.


HIRAM D. TIMMONS*, superintendent and manager of the Barnesville Gas & Electric Light Company, is an expert electrician and plumber, having attained success by adroit en- deavor, close application and by years of con- stant practice of his vocation."He was born in Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio, and is past the meridian of life. He is a son of Eli and


Sarah ( Dickerson) Timmons, who reared a family of seven children.


Eli Timmons was one of the pioneer settlers of Harrison County, Ohio. In early manhood he learned the trade of a carriage maker, which he followed with success up to the time of his death on the 30th of December, 1877. Eli Tim- mons was born March 16, 1819, and his wife was many years his junior, her birth having oc- curred September 25, 1830. She is also de- ceased.


Iliram D. Timmons accompanied his par- ents to Barnesville when a mere boy. He be- came apprenticed and learned the plumbing and heating trade under Healy Brothers. He completed his trade in 1879, having mastered all the details of the business. Some time after- ward Mr. Timmons accepted a position as trav- eling representative of Gordan, Stroebel & La Rue, a large Philadelphia firm. He traveled throughout the South for this establishment tor a period of three years, and during that time he fitted many factories throughout with machinery, doing all the hydraulic work and steam piping himself. In 1889, he severed his connection with tha house and accepted his present lucrative position.


The city of Barnesville was first relieved from darkness December 25. 1874, by the in- troduction of gas. A company had been pre- viously organized on September 15th, of the same year, and a plant was built a short dis- tance north of the ITilles flouring mill: this plant was erected by B. Van Steinberger of New York City, who was the chief instigator, at the cost of $24,000, and the late Hon. Sam- uel Hilles was the first superintendent. The city was liglited in this manner until March 15, 1800, when an ordinance was passed by the City Council, whereby it provided for the lighting of the city by electricity. A franchise was granted to the Fort Wayne Electric Light- ing Company, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, who furnished incandescent lights to the city for a period of ten years.


In 1000, the Barnesville Gas Company ob- tained the franchise to furnish lights to the city and an electric plant was added at a cost

of $50,000 and the name of the company was changed to the Barnesville Gas & Electric Light Company. The present officers are: J. WV. Bradfield, president; J. M. Lewis, vice- president ; and F. Hunt, secretary ; with Hiram D. Timmons, superintendent and manager. As before mentioned, the latter became connected with the company in 1886 and has the exclu- sive control of this large plant. He is a thor- cugh electrician and employs four assistants. Under his careful and capable management the plant has given thorough satisfaction. Ilis kind and amiable disposition, coupled with his shrewd business methods, has made hosts of friends for him while working in this capacity.


In fraternal circles he is a member of the Odd Fellows, and in politics he supports the Republican party. His influence is extensive and powerful and he has done much in securing public improvements as well as stimulating pri- vate enterprises. The success of the plant with which he is connected is largely due to his un- remitting efforts and the manner in which he has surmounted all obstacles and risen to his present place of authority and responsibility from apprenticeship shows his aggressive and energetic nature.


HAMILTON G. WOODS,* a shearman in the Laughlin Sheet Mill at Martin's Ferry, Ohio, is serving his second term as council- man from the Second Ward, is on the finance committee, the ordinance committee, police, sewer, street and waterworks committees, and can be depended upon to do according to agree- ment. He was born in Wheeling. West Vir- ginia, February 7, 1861, and his parents were Joli and Nancy ( Gosney) Woods, natives of Smithfield, Ohio.


John Woods spent all his active life as a boiler in the Top Mill in Wheeling, West Vir- ginia. He moved to Martin's Ferry in 1886, a retired business man, and there lived until his death, October 18, 1800, at the age of 66 years. He was married June 4, 1854, Nancy Gosney becoming his wife. She was a daugh-


ter of Reuben and Loretta Gosney. Her father died at the age of Go years during the Civil War, and her mother died in 1849. Mrs. Woods was one of a family of it children, of whom the four surviving are: Mary J., who married William McKee, who was killed at the battle of Cedar Creek, October 19, 1864; Nancy, our subject's mother: James, a resi- dent of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania ; and Davis, residing in Martin's Ferry. The names of the deceased children are as follows: Elizabeth, whose death took place when she was just 18 years old ; Hamilton, who died at the advanced age of 70 years ; John and John Reuben, who died in boyhood; Andrew, whose death oc- curred at the age of 55 years, served in the Civil War as a private; Albert, who died when two years old; and Thomas, who is presumed to be living, but who went west and has not been heard from for 12 years.


Our subject's father and mother had two children, John M., who works at the mill in Bridgeport, Ohio; and our subject, Hamilton G. The parents were members of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church and John Woods al- ways took part as an officer. He and Governor Atchison were well known to each other, were warm friends, and worked together in the tem- perance movement in West Virginia.


Ilamilton G. Woods was educated in the public schools of Wheeling, after which he, like his father, worked at boiling in the Top Mill and followed that occupation until the organization of the Standard Mill at Bridge- port, Ohio. He helped to start this mill and was given a position as shearer in it, remain- ing with the company for to years, until Oc- tober, 1001. He left the Standard Mill only to take his position in the Laughlin Mill as shearer.


December 22, 1880. Lillie Howell, a dangh- ter of Isaac and Fanny ( Dickerson) Howell, now deceased, became our subject's wife. Her father was a stationary engineer and died January 25, 1901, at the age of 76 years. Mrs. Howell died in, 1866, at the early age of 28 years, when Mrs. Woods was quite young.

They were member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and at her death that church lost one of its most enthusiastic workers, as well as an excellent singer, for Mrs. Howell always sang in the choir. She became a member in carly girlhood and found many little ways of mak- ing herself useful and serviceable. Mrs. Woods is a native of Ohio and has been the mother of nine children, whose names are as follows :


Frank II., who works in the Laughlin Sheet Mill and does most efficient service for one of his years; Beulah HI .; Richard C. and Kath- leen L., twins; Hulda B., Lillie H., Donald S., Gilbert Il., and Elizabeth M., born June 5, 1900, and died September 14th of the same year. The father and mother of these children are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church and rear their children in that faith also. Mrs. Woods is president of the mercy and help department of the church work and certainly does her part. In politics Mr. Woods is a Republican of strong convictions, and as a member of the Council has been of great ser- vice to the city. He is also a strong believer in the temperance question,-he acts, lives, and believes in temperance at all times ; since he, himself, has never drank an intoxicant in his life, he has never been able to see the need for others to do so, and has taken a firm, deter- mined stand on this question. He and his fam- ily live in their pleasant, beautiful home at No. 623 West Washington street.


E. N. BOGGS*, a representative citizen of Barton, Ohio, who is extensively engaged in mining and mercantile business, was born in Colerain township in 1850. Hle is a son of Francis and Elizabeth ( Berry) Boggs. His mother was a daughter of Jacob Berry, who settled in Colerain township about 1802. com- ing from Hagerstown, Maryland, with his par- ents when about three years of age.


David Boggs, the paternal grandfather of our subject, came from Maryland to Behnont County in the carly part of the roth. century. Ile settled upon a farm about six miles from Bridgeport, in Colerain township, remaining


here the balance of his life. He accumulated a good property and was a very prominent man of his day. He opened up the first coal bank in Belmont County, it being located on Flat Run. It was not only the first bank opened, but also the first opened for commercial pur- poses and was known as a "peddler's bank." Belmont County ranks fourth among the coun- ties of the State in the production of coal. David Boggs married Mary Waddle, of Ohio County (West) Virginia, who was born in Triadelphia. The following children were born to them: David; Marjorie, deceased, who married J. W. Collins, of Newark, Ohio; Wil- liam W., who died in California; Francis ; and James, of Belmont County.


Francis Boggs, father of E. N. Boggs, de- voted all of his life to agricultural pursuits, in which he met with more than ordinary success. In connection with his farming interests, he also operated a coal bank, which netted him good profits. He was known for his strict in- tegrity and square dealings. He voted the Democratic ticket, but never aspired to office. However, upon several occasions he was called upon to fill township offices.


To him and his wife the following children were born : Ella, who married J. W. Bean, of Bridgeport, Ohio: Catherine, who married M. D. Goldman. of Topeka, Kansas; Ona M., who married E. T. Russell, an elder of the Seventh Day Adventists, with headquarters at Lincoln, Nebraska; F. W., who is assisting his brother in the mercantile business; Jacob W., who was killed in a railroad wreck in 1891; and R. T., who is a conductor on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.


F. N. Boggs received a liberal amount of schooling in the district schools of Colerain township, after which he took a business course in Wheeling, West Virginia. Later he attend- ed the normal university at Lebanon, Ohio, and in 1882 he engaged in the coal business, which has claimed the major portion of his attention since that time. He has been eminently suc- cessful. TIe employs on an average 150 men. During the summer months he ships the prod- uct of his mine to Northern transportation

companies, and during the winter the coal is used for fuel on trunk line railroads. In 1892 Mr. Boggs opened a general store at Barton, in which he keeps a full stock of choice family groceries, boots, shoes, clothing, patent medi- cines, etc. His store is a modern two-story structure and is first-class in all its appoint- ments.


Mr. Boggs was married in 1892 to Jemima Ilall, daughter of Henry and Hannah Hall, re- spected citizens of Colerain township. The family consists of four children: Paul; Mar- jorie; Mildred, and Elizabeth. Socially, Mr. Boggs is a member of Belmont Lodge, No. 16, F. & A. M .; Hope Commandery, No. 26, K. T., of St. Clairsville, and also is a member of the K. of P.


HON. HARVEY DANFORD *. Among the prominent citizens of Belmont County, widely known in agricultural, political and so- cial life, is Ion. Ilarvey Danford, who, during 1877, 1878 and 1879, ably represented Belmont County in the State Legislature. Mr. Danford is a man of intellectual strength, extensive travel, wide reading, social acquaintance and large means.


He was born February 16, 1822, in Wash- ington township, Belmont County, on a farm located some two and one-half miles above Arm- strong's Mills. He was reared in Washington township, but has resided in Wayne township for the past 49 years. In early youth he had no better advantages than the ordinary farmer boy, his education being entirely secured in the public schools of his day. When he reached maturity he purchased a part of school section 16, in Washington township, which he sold in 1849, removing then to lowa. However he did not locate there, but soon after returned to Belmont County, and about 1855 he purchased his present fine farm in section 4, Wayne town- ship, making subsequent purchases until his landed possessions in this county now aggre- gate 613 acres. Until recently, despite his many other interests, Mr. Danford has person- ally managed this large estate. Among other


possessions is a tract of 40 acres in Florida, se- cured during one of his numerous visits in the South.


Mr. Danford has long been a factor in the politics of Belmont County. Ilis present polit- ical attitude is as an independent voter, al- though various currents have led him into sup- porting late Republican candidates. In his carlier years he was a Whig, admiring Henry Clay and his principles. His vote was cast for both Lincoln and Grant, also for Horace Greeley. Always independent in his view of matters, Mr. Danford has been especially free from any charge of "machine-made politics" and has voted as his conscience and judgment decided as certain issues were presented to the people. No more able man was found by the Democrats in 1877 to send as a Representative to the Legislature, and he defended the princi- ples of that party until the election of President Cleveland. Ile is not in favor of free trade. Some six or eight years Mr. Dunford served most acceptably as township treasurer, but is now free from official duties.


In 1850 Mr. Danford married Eliza Jane Perkins, a daughter of Elijah Perkins, who was brought from near Waynesburg, Virginia, to Belmont County in infancy and after a long life here died in 1895, when more than 100 years of age. Mrs. Danford was born in 1829 and her four brothers are: Elihu, Jonas. Reu- ben and William, the two named last residing near Bethesda. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Danford were: V. A., who resides upon a part of the home farm, as does Charles; Vic- toria, deceased, was the wife of A. C. Mantell -her daughter, Mrs. E. P. Ward, also occu- pies a part of the farm; and Rev. M. V. The last named is a graduate of Bethany College at Lexington, and was ordained a minister in Bel- mont Ridge Christian Church, and for the past two years has been an instructor at the Chris- tian College at Albany, Missouri, but has lately located at Shadyside as bookkeeper for T. .. Rodefer. Mr. Danford Iris fom granddaugh- ters and is rearing the youngest. The family is one of close attachment and for jo years has been connected with the Christian Church.
