They were the parents of four chilren who are yet living and six who have passed away, namely: Joseph, who died unmarried at the home of his brother Alfred; Sarah, who became the wife of Edward Noble and died in Washing- ton county, Iowa; Mollie, who married John Clark and died in Westerville; William, who passed away in Sharon township ; George W., who was a member of the Ninety-fifth Regiment of Ohio Volunteers and was wounded at Spanish Fort near the close of the war and died at New Orleans after serving for over three years; Melissa, the wife of Benjamin F. Moody, a resident farmer of this locality; Vause, of Blendon township; Clara, the wife of James Hamilton, of Missouri; Alfred T .; and Matilda, who died at the age of seven or eight years.


Alfred Taylor Schrock was reared upon the old homestead and early be- came familiar with the work of field and meadow. The public schools provided him his educational privileges and he always remained upon the home farm, giving to his father valuable assistance and later coming into possession of the old homestead. He now owns ninety acres of rich and productive land which he devotes to general farming and stock-raising. He also has a gravel and sand pit, which is constituting an important source of revenue to him. In his busi-


829


CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF COLUMBUS


ness affairs he is energetic and determined and is meeting with gratifying pros- perity through his capable management and unfaltering diligence.


On the 23d of December, 1875, Mr. Schrock was married to Miss Alice Moody, who was born in Pickaway county, Ohio, April 12, 1852. She was the daughter of James H. Moody, who removed to Westerville and during the period of the Civil war drove a bus between Columbus and Sunbury. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Schrock have been born two children, but Jessie died at the age of eight years. Olie is the wife of Ernest Sanders, teacher in the high school of Dayton. Mr. Schrock gives his political allegiance to the republican party and in religious faith is connected with the United Brethren church. He be- longs to the Masonic fraternity and is a charter member of the Knights of Pythias lodge at Westerville. His entire life has been passed in this locality and those who know him recognize in him a man of genuine worth, of public spirit and of business enterprise, who well merits the esteem which is uniformly accorded him.


V. A. DODD, M. D.


Dr. Verne Adams Dodd is one of the younger members of the medical fraternity of Columbus. In his practice he has made a specialty of surgery and is now orthopedic surgeon of the Protestant Hospital. He was born in Water- ville, Ohio, February 21, 1881. The Doctor's family is of English origin and the first representative of the name in America was Daniel Dodd, who located in Branford, Connecticut, in 1646. Elijah Dodd, the grandfather of the Doc- tor, came to Ohio from New Jersey and served as sheriff of Lucas county, Ohio, filling the position for several years, and he exerted a wide felt and beneficial influence upon many matters of public concern and importance. His son and namesake, Elijah Dodd, Jr., is also a native of Ohio, and is well known as a fruit farmer. He also has an extensive acquaintance as an influential and prominent resident of Waterville. He married Frances Downing, a native of Norwalk, Ohio, who is also living.


Dr. Dodd was educated in the public schools of Waterville and acquired his more specifically literary knowledge in the Ohio Wesleyan University. De- siring to enter upon a professional career he became a student in the Ohio Med- ical University in 1899 and pursued the regular four years' course to his grad- uation with the class of 1903. For two years he was house surgeon at the Protestant Hospital and then entered upon the private practice of medicine, in which he has been successful for he is careful and painstaking in his pro- fessional labors and has ministered with ability to many who have solicited his aid as a physician and surgeon. For the past four years he has been a teacher in the departmet of surgery-both minor and operative-in the Star- ling-Ohio Medical College and in the same institution he taught orthopedic surgery. He is now orthopedic surgeon of the Protestant Hospital and is a member of the Columbus Academy of Medicine, the Ohio State Medical So- ciety and the American Medical Association.

CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF COLUMBUS


Dr. Dodd was married October 16, 1906, to Miss Nelle Jacobs, a daughter of W. J. Jacobs, a coal and lumber man of Georgetown, Ohio, and a prominent citizen of that community. He has figured actively in public life, serving as auditor and assistant auditor in Brown county for twenty-four years, his official record being one over which falls no shadow of wrong nor suspicion of evil. Dr. and Mrs. Dodd have one son, Verne A., Jr., who was born January 1, 1908. The parents are highly esteemed socially and Dr. Dodd is a valued member of Humboldt Lodge, No. 476, F. & A. M. While a young man he has made steady progress in his chosen calling and his present success argues well for the future.


JOSEPH W. CORDNER.


In all those qualities which constitute admirable manhood Joseph W. Cordner is richly endowed. A loyal defender of the Union, a straightfor- ward, energetic business man, a progressive citizen and a faithful represen- tative of the religious development of the city, he is neglectful of no duty and his enterprising loyalty in every relation has gained him the respect and honor of all who know him.


He was born in Belmont county, Ohio, September 12, 1843, a son of John and Elizabeth (Chadwick) Cordner. The father was a native of the north of Ireland, and spent the first eighteen years of his life in the land of his nativity, after which he came to the new world, attracted by the oppor- tunities that this country offered. Establishing his home in Ohio he became connected with the wool business and for some time owned and operated a woolen mill. He was a man of energy and determination who success- fully conducted his business affairs. He lived for a brief period in Jeffer- son county, Ohio, and in 1826 removed to Belmont county, where he re- mained until his death.


It was in that locality that Joseph W. Cordner was born and reared. The common schools afforded him his educational privileges and he received practical business training under the direction of his father, whom he as- sisted in the conduct of the woolen mill. He was scarcely more than a boy in years when he responded to the country's call for troops, enlisting as a private in Company K, Fifteenth Regiment of Ohio Infantry. His loyalty and meritorious conduct on the field of battle led to his promotion and he became orderly sergeant of the company. In 1864 he reenlisted and served altogether for four years and seven months. He fought with the depart- ment of the Ohio and the army of the Cumberland, participating in engage- ments under the command of General Sherman and General Buell. The latter was succeeded by General Rosecrans and the army was then reorgan- ized. He took part in the battles of Shiloh, Perryville and Franklin, and was twice wounded but did not leave the field. His service was largely in the Mississippi valley and on the field of battle he displayed valor and bravery equal to that of many a veteran of twice his years. He never faltered in the performance of any duty and faithfully espoused the cause which he


831


CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF COLUMBUS


was pledged to defend. When the war was over he returned home with a most creditable military record and removed to Columbus, influenced by the fact that his brother-in-law, the late Alfred Powell, was a resident of this city. After being engaged in the lumber business for a few years he established business for the dyeing and renovating of garments, locating at Gay, near Fourth street. It was one of the first establishments of this character and is still in existence, having been profitably conducted from the beginning.


In 1868, in Belmont county, Ohio, Mr. Cordner was married to Miss Anna E. Carpenter, of that county, a daughter of Jonathan Carpenter, who was a farmer by occupation. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Cordner were born six chil- dren, four who are yet living: Hattie L .; Carroll R., who is married and is living in Middletown, Ohio; Catherine, wife of Logan Feeland, who is cap- tain of the Minnesota, one of the nation's battle ships; and Hazel, at home.


Mr. Cordner is a stalwart republican in his political views, casting his first presidential vote for Abraham Lincoln and has since supported that party. He held the position of county clerk in Belmont county, but re- signed in order to remove to Columbus. He is always interested in state and national affairs as well as in local politics and has ever kept well in- formed on the questions and issues of the day, being able to support his position by intelligent argument. He has ever retained a deep interest in his old army comrades and held membership in the McCoy Post, No. 1, of the Grand Army of the Republic, and in the Union Veteran Legion, Camp No. 78, holding at one time the office of lieutenant colonel in the latter order. He is also an honorary member of the old Guard and was active in pioneer associations. He is fond of music and was organizer of a quartette com- posed originally of soldiers who had served for four years. This organiza- tion has continued its existence to the present time. While interested in military, political and social interests, Mr. Cordner is never neglectful of his religious duties, but on the contrary is a helpful and earnest member of the Church of Christ. He was originally a member of the Third street, but now of the Broad street church. He has assisted in building five different houses of worship and has been almost continuously in some official position in the church, holding nearly all of its offices. His life is at all times and under all conditions honorable and upright.


EDWIN WARREN ALKIRE.


Edwin Warren Alkire, well known in connection with the development of Westerville and with farming interests in this part of the state, was born in Franklin township, Franklin county, February 22, 1856. His parents were William and Mary (Rizor) Alkire. The father was born in Virginia. February 12, 1812, while the mother's birth occurred in Pennsylvania, July 4, 1822. For a long period they resided on the old homestead farm in Franklin township, but about 1871 the father sold his property there and


832


CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF COLUMBUS


removed with his family to Holden, Missouri. After six months in the west, however, he returned to Delaware county, Ohio, settling about three miles west of Westerville. His death occurred in that county in September, 1884. He had long survived his wife, who passed away in Franklin township, Franklin county, in 1865. In his early life he devoted several years to the carpenter's trade and afterward followed the occupation of farming. His children were five in number, namely: Emily, who married Joseph Hains, of Delaware county, and both are now deceased; Anna Katherine, whose demise occurred when she was twenty-one years of age; Emanuel, who is also deceased; Sarah R., the deceased wife of Michael Bookman; and Edwin Warren, of this review.


Edwin W. Alkire was a youth of fifteen years when the family left the old home place upon which he was born and removed to the west. Following the return to Ohio he lived in Delaware county from 1871 until 1881, when he was married and came to his present place, taking charge of the farm for William Sharpe. After twelve years he bought the home and fifty acres of land lying partially within the village limits of Westerville and all in this county on the Delaware county line. Later he platted a part of his land and sold it in village lots but he still retains the ownership of forty acres, carrying on general farming, his fields being under a high state of cultivation. Upon the place is a good brick house which was built by William Sharpe in 1849. Mr. Alkire also owns a double frame house on East Norwich avenue in Columbus and his property interests return to him a good income.


In his political views Mr. Alkire is a stalwart republican and served for three terms of three years each as trustee of Blendon township. He was also for four years a member of the village council and in the fall of 1907 was elected township trustee, in which position he is serving at the present time. He has never been a politician in the sense of office seeking but on the contrary was called to public office by his fellow townsmen who recognized and appreciated his work, ability and patriotism. He believes most firmly in the principles of the republican party as most conducive to good government and therefore gives to it loyal and stanch support. Since 1881 he has been a member of Rainbow Lodge; No. 327, I. O. O. F., of Westerville, and belongs also to Rigby Encampment, No. 187, of Columbus.


Mr. Alkire laid the foundation for a pleasant domestic experience by his marriage in 1880 to Miss Alice Spring, a native of Delaware county, born near Westerville, and a daughter of Frederick and Martha (Scott) Spring. During her infancy Mrs. Alkire lost her mother and was reared by her uncle, William Sharpe, who was previously the owner of the farm upon which the Alkire family now reside. Their three children, Alta May, Rolla Edwin and Mary, were all born on this farm. Their home is justly celebrated for its warm-hearted hospitality, which is greatly enjoyed by their many friends.
