HOMAS PARROCK,* general mana- ger of the Youngstown Foundry & Machine Works, and a representative citizen of Youngstown, was born in England in 1853.

Mr. Parrock was reared and educated in his native country, and after reaching man- hood was employed as roll turner. When 28 years of age he came to America and located in Pennsylvania, where he followed his trade. In 1880, he came to Youngstown and engaged with the firm of McCurdy & Company, with whom he remained until 1892, when the com- pany was consolidated with the Youngstown Steel & Iron Company, under the firm name of Union Iron & Steel Company. He remained with the firm as general superintendent until 1900, when he became general manager of the .P. & R. Iron & Steel Company, which position he held until 1904. He then became general manager of the Youngstown Foundry & Ma- chine Company, in which capacity he is still serving.

Mr. Parrock was married in England to Miss Fannie Williams. They have four chil- dren: Harry Percy; James D .: George; and May Gladys.

E E. ALLISON, justice of the peace and notary public, at Beloit, has engaged also in an insurance business since 1889, when he left his farm in Smith township and established himself in this town. Mr. Allison was born in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, June 14, 1841, and is a son of John and Charlotte (Stewart) Alli- son. On the maternal side, Mr. Allison comes of New England ancestry, one of his grand- fathers bringing his family from Connecticut, with an ox-team, and settling near Haselton, in Mahoning County, on what is known as the old Fitch farm, on which the mother of E. E. Allison was reared. John Allison, who was a native of Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and a farmer by occupation, died when his son, the subject of this sketch, was 12 years old but the latter continued at school until he was 16 years

of age and then took charge of the home farm in Lawrence County, for his mother. Here he continued until 1872, when he came to Ma- honing County, settling in Smith township on a farm, a part of which is now the site of the village of Sebring. There he carried on a full line of agricultural operations until, as above stated, he came to Beloit.

Mr. Allison was married (first) in 1863, to Mary Cole, of Beaver County, Pennsyl- vania. He was married (second) in 1897, to Martha Antrim, who was born in Stark County, Ohio, and is a daughter of William Antrim, one of the early Pennsylvania settlers in Stark County.

In politics, Mr. Allison is a Republican, with Prohibition leanings. His sterling char- acter as a man and citizen has been generally recognized by his community and he has been elected to a number of responsible positions. He has served one term as mayor of Beloit, is a notary and justice of the peace, and for nearly a quarter of a century he has been secre- tary of the Smith Township Aid Society. He is a very active member of the United Presby- terian Church, at Sebring, Ohio, of which he is one of the founders and an elder, and has always been interested in the work of the Sunday-school.

land and worked in a sheet and plate mill, of which his brother, John, was superintendent, remaining there about two years. After his marriage he took up railroad work, beginning as a brakeman, from which position he went in- to the Wilson Avenue shops of the ErieRailroad in Cleveland, working in the wrecking depart- ment. He subsequently came to Youngstown as a car inspector, after which he became fore- man on the wreck car on the Pennsylvania Railroad and then engaged in farming. In 1903, he embarked in the dairy business with his father-in-law, Isaac Justice, and has con- tinued in that business for the past 18 years; they run a milk wagon in Lowellville.

Mr. Fenton was married in 1892, to Della B. Justice, a daughter of Isaac and Mary (Emery) Justice, and they have three chil- dren : Ray Marshall, Marie, and Chester. Mr. Fenton is a member of the Knights of Pythias at Lowellville.

A RTHUR M. LYON,* merchant and postmaster at Struthers, is one of the leading men of this place and is a worthy representative of an old and honorable family of Ohio. Mr. Lyons was born at New Watertown, Columbi- ana County, Ohio, November 23, 1875, son of Marcena and Hannah J. (Lewis) Lyon. His grandparents both bore names which became particularly distinguished during the Civil War. John Lyon, the grandfather, and the brave and beloved General Lyon, who was killed early in the Civil War, at Wilson's Creek, Missouri, were first cousine, while the grandmother was a Thomas and belonged to the military family of that name, and was a near relative of General Thomas the "Rock of Chickamauga," whose memory is perpetuated in the history of his country and whose achievements are recalled whenever old veterans congregate.

Marcena Lyon acquired a farm in the vicin- ity of New Waterford and for a number of years was engaged in business as a carpenter and contractor. He died in Columbiana

County, in 1894, but his widow still survives and resides on the home farm. They have five sons, all of whom survive, namely: E. L. Lyon, who is mayor of East Palestine, Ohio, and is also engaged there in the practice of law ; Harry O., residing at East Palestine, who is superintendent of the Metropolitan Insur- ance Company for Eastern Ohio; Arthur M., subject of this sketch; J. H. C. Lyon, an at- torney residing at Youngstown ; and Walter I., who is a student of law in the Northern Ohio University at Ada.

Arthur M. Lyon was reared on the home. farm and educated in the district school and at a college of pharmacy, in Harrison County, Ohio, where he was graduated. He had pre- viously served as a drug clerk with P. F. Voll- nogle, at East Palestine, and after completing his education, he accepted a position as mana- ger of the Johnston-Cryvette Pharmacy, at Butler, Pennsylvania, where he remained until he came to Struthers, in 1899. Mr. Lyon lo- cated in a building which then stood on the site of his present one, but in 1901 he was burned out, suffering great loss. His first store was of frame, but Mr. Lyon replaced it by a substantial brick structure, three stories in height, which he has occupied ever since, car- rying a large and well-assorted stock of season- able goods, such as are carried by all up-to- date pharmacies, together with fresh drugs and patent medicines, while prescriptions are carefully compounded. Since 1901, Mr. Lyon has been postmaster at Struthers, being in full accord with the present administration. Other enterprises which claim his attention are lead- ing ones in this section. He is local manager of the Central Union Telephone Company and has charge of the Youngstown Consolidated Gas and Electric Company at Struthers.

On April 12, 1899, Mr. Lyon was married to Grace Moore, who was born at East Fair- field, Columbiana County, Ohio, and they have one son, Arthur Marcena.

Fraternally, Mr. Lyon is connected with the Masons, the Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias and the Elks.

AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS

AMUEL BRUNSTETER .* whose fine farm of 180 acres is situated one and one-half miles north of West Austintown, on the Austintown and Warren highway, and is watered by the Meander Creek which flows through it, was born on the old homestead farm in Austin- town township, Mahoning County, Ohio, No- vember 10. 1844. He is a son of Jacob and Anna ( Graver ) Brunsteter.

The grandfather of Samuel Brunsteter was Jacob Brunsteter, who married Julia Gilbert, in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. From that place they came to Ohio, making the journey in a great covered wagon, which resembled a boat, being low in the center and high at each end, probably the kind best fitted to make a path through the heavy underbrush of the forests and to cross swollen and unbridged streams. The travelers reached Canfield town- ship. then in Trumbull but now in Mahoning County, and the old boat-wagon had to con- tinue to be a home until a place could be cleared in the forest on which to build the first log house. Jacob Brunsteter was a practical black- smith and this helped him in providing a home and fitting up comforts and conveniences for and family, and later he found plenty of work to do as a blacksmith in his neighborhood. Be- fore the youthful sons had acquired strength enough, his helpful wife often assisted at the forge and was able to strike the metal with sure and telling blows. Together they fash- ioned horse-shoes and sheep-bells and even made the old-fashioned lamps in which a wick was burned in lard or oil. He was considered a very expert mechanic.

After a residence of two years in Canfield township, Jacob Brunsteter bought a farm of 200 acres in Austintown township, which he cleared and on it subsequently built a good frame house. He was a very liberal man, and donated an acre of land for a burial place which to this day is known as the Brunsteter ceme- tery. Much local history might be learned of those interested by consulting the epitaphs which are still legible, being engraved, usually with the symbol of a weeping willow, on the

old flag-stones in this silent spot. Five sons of Jacob Brunsteter were among the first to be laid to rest here. His family was large, these names having been preserved: Rebecca, who died in 1906, was the wife of John Harding. and had lived to the age of 96 years; Jacob ; Mary, who married Samuel Ohl; and Levi. Henry and Samuel, all of whom have passed away.

Jacob Brunsteter, a son of Jacob and father of Samuel, was born in Canfield township, in 1813. He was young when the family re- moved to Austintown township, where he grew to manhood on the home farm and later learned the blacksmith trade with his father. For a great many years he ran a shop at Aus- tintown and became a man of property and local importance. He was a stanch Democrat and on that ticket was elected county commis- sioner, and it was during his period of service that the first county infirmary was built. That structure burned down, but another was erec- ted on the same site.

Jacob Brunsteter was married (first) to Anna Graver, who was a daughter of Jacob Graver, an early pioneer in the county. Mrs. Brunsteter was born near West Austintown. She left five children at her death, namely : Henry, Sallie (deceased ), Julia (deceased ), Mrs. Frazer, Samuel, and Laura, who married John Maddox. After the death of his first wife, Jacob Brunsteter married (second) his sister-in-law, Mary Graver. Three children were born of the second marriage, as follows : Emma, who married Samuel Rush; Thomas J. ; and Commodore Perry. Jacob Brunsteter, accompanied by all his family except Samuel, subsequently removed to Kansas, where he purchased a large farm on which he died in 1874. His widow still resides there, with her eldest daughter.

Samuel Brunsteter can easily recall the death of his mother, but he continued to reside at home and attend school in an old log struc- ture which then stood at what was called Wea- vers' Corners, but is now known as West Aus- tintown. He was still a small boy when he began to assist his father at the forge. He

IO26

HISTORY OF MAHONING COUNTY

learned the blacksmith's trade with little trouble, and after leaving his father's shop worked through Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, Penn -. sylvania and Missouri. He then worked 12 years at the coal bank for C. H. Andrews, who was then the iron king of the Mahoning Val- ley. Mr. Brunsteter recalls going into Youngs- town, in his young manhood, to celebrate the Fourth of July, when the present bustling and wealthy city was represented by just a few houses built along Federal street, and he can tell of many other interesting changes which have taken place in this part of the county.

In the spring of 1864, Mr. Brunsteter en- listed in the 17Ist Regiment, Ohio National Guard, and served five months as a member of Company C, taking part in the battle of Keller's Bridge, Kentucky. He was taken prisoner by Capt. John Morgan and after being marched 25 miles across the country was pa- roled. In the early part of his service he was sent as a guard to Johnson's Island, where only Confederate officers were held. He reached home after the close of his term of en- listment, without further trouble. For a num- ber of years he was connected with the local post of the Grand Army of the Republic.

Mr. Brunsteter continued to work at his trade until within the past 18 years, but before that time he had purchased a small farm in Austintown township, which was a part of the old Robert Russell farm. After selling that he bought a part of the Wilcox farm in Aus- tintown township, which he later traded for a farm in Jackson township, and after selling the latter he purchased his present farm. Mr. Brunsteter has retired from active labor and rents his farm. He owns a nice residence property in the village of West Austintown.

On March 12, 1868, Mr. Brunsteter was married to Anna Jones, who is a daughter of Charles B. and Fannie (Owens) Jones, and was born in Clarion County, Pennsylvania. The Jones family settled in Youngstown where Mr. Jones did blacksmithing for the firm of Brown & Bonnell for many years. He died in December, 1893, aged 75 years, and his widow in 1900, aged 76 years. They had the

following children: Eliza, William, Rebecca, Anna, Jeremiah, Julius and Frank, the last men- tioned of whom resides with Mr. and Mrs. Brunsteter. One child was born to the latter, but it died in infancy, and they adopted a nephew.

Politically, Mr. Brunsteter is a Democrat, and he has served as a constable in Austintown, Jackson and Milton townships. For one year during the administration of Governor Hoad- ley, he served as a guard in the Ohio Peniten- tiary. In the fall of 1906, Mr. Brunsteter was appointed one of four road commissioners of Mahoning County and it is the expectation of this board to have many dollars expended in the coming year in substantial improvements on the public roads. Mr. and Mrs. Brunsteter are members of the Disciples Church at Four Mile Run.

HOMAS E. DAVEY,* who has been identified with various business and public interests of Youngstown, for over 40 years, is one of the city's most highly esteemed retired resi- dents. He was born in 1856, in Canada, but was brought to Youngstown when a boy of seven years. After completing his education Mr. Davey became a clerk in a mercantile es- tablishment and then entered the employ of the Adams Express Company, serving for 15 years as clerk and later becoming one of the con- pany's agents. He became actively concerned in politics and was elected township treasurer of Youngstown township and served accept- ably in that office for four terms. In 1886 he was elected auditor of Mahoning County and was reelected to the same office in 1889. He then practically retired from politics and entered more actively into business, assisting in the or- ganization of the Finished Steel Company, of which he became secretary and treasurer. He continued with this corporation until January I, 1906, when he sold his interests and is now permitting himself a period of rest and recre- ation.

In 1881, Mr. Davey was married to Ada R. Holland, a member of one of the oldest fami- lies of Mahoning County, her great-grand- father having settled here in 1800. Mr. and Mrs. Davey have three children, namely : Mabel, who is the wife of Edwin McEwen, of Youngstown; Thomas E., and George S. Mr. Davey is a member of the Rayen Club, at Youngstown. , His beautiful home is at No. 650 Bryson avenue.

EORGE KEAN,* formerly treasurer of Smith township and a prominent and useful citizen, resides on his valuable farm of 91 acres, situated in section 9, which he has occupied since 1864. Mr. Kean was born in Sterlingshire, Scotland, August 26, 1843, and is a son of Duncan and Lillian Kean, both of whom were born in Scot- land.

George Kean was educated in the public schools of his native land and remained in Scotland, until he was 20 years of age. An uncle for whom Mr. Kean had been named, emigrated to America about 1845 and settled first in Portage County, where he lived for a number of years, then in 1864 settling on this present farm in Smith township, on which he · died September 26, 1876. When he moved to Mahoning County he communicated with his favorite nephew, who took a steamer at Glas- gow, in June, 1864, and in ten days was safely landed at Quebec, Canada. This vessel, the St. George, belonged to the Allan Steamship line and was a fine ship for its day. From Que- bec, Mr. Kean went to New York, where he was employed for a short time as a compositor on a newspaper, having previously served an apprenticeship of seven years to his trade in Scotland. Before the close of 1864 he joined his uncle in Smith township and has resided on this farm ever since. Two years later he sent to Scotland the means to bring his aged father and mother, together with his sister Mary, to America, and settled them in Smith township. The parents died here, but Miss Kean still

survives, having passed her 70th year. On April 25, 1870, Mr. Kean was married to Agnes Laing, who was born March 2, 1846, in Perthshire, Scotland, and is a daughter of William and Janet (Stewart) Laing. Both parents are deceased. Mrs. Kean came to Am- erica and directly to Smith township, in 1869, and was married in the following year. Mr. and Mrs. Kean have had six chidren, namely : Janet S., who married Charles B. Hubbard, residing in Smith township; Duncan, residing in Pennsylvania; William L., and George M., residents of Alliance; Lillian, who married Edward Hahlen, and resides at Alliance; and Alexander J., also a resident of Alliance. Mrs. Kean is an active member of the Presbyterian Church at North Benton, and a hearty worker in the Ladies Foreign Missionary Society. Mr. Kean attends the Presbyterian Church and gives it liberal support, although he has never united with it.

Politically Mr. Kean is a Republican and is prominent in the councils of his party in this section. For four years he served as treas- urer of Smith township, also as township as- sessor, and for II years was a member of the township board of education, being its presi- dent for two years. He is well qualified for office, his long term in the printing trade being equal to an academic education. He is presi- dent of the Smith Township Aid Society and is the founder of this benevolent organization.

YLVESTER ENGLISH .* vice-presi- dent and treasurer of the Mahoning Lumber Company, of Youngstown, is one of the prominent and prosperous business men of this city, where his enterprise and public spirit are universally rec- ognized.

Crawford County, Pennsylvania. After four years in Crawford County he removed to Bloomfield, Jefferson County, Ohio, where he remained for a like period, and then went to Wellsville, West Virginia, for one year. Bur- gessville, Washington County, Pennsylvania, was the scene of his activity for the next two years, then Wheeling, West Virginia, for two and'a half years. There, with a partner, he bought about 2,000 acres of timber land in Jackson and Putnam Counties, which they cut and manufactured into staves and lumber.

From West Virginia Mr. English removed to Claysville, Washington County, Pennsyl- vania, still interested in lumber, remaining there until the fall of 1902, when he came to Youngstown, where, in association with other business men, he organized the Mahoning Lumber Company of Youngstown. This busi- ness was incorporated with a capital stock of $40,000, which has since been increased to $65,000. The present officers are : J. E. Nutt, president ; S. English, vice-president and treasurer ; and J. J. Hamilton, secretary. The plant is an extensive one and the business is an important industry of the vicinity. Mr. English is also interested as a stockholder in other concerns and owns coal and oil lands in Washington County.

On August 4, 1875, Mr. English was mar- ried to Fannie Morrison, who was also reared in Mercer County.

D AVID J. ROLLER,* formerly a prom- inent and respected citizen of Green township, was born in this township December 24, 1839, and died May 10, 1903, having spent his whole life in this section. His parents were Joseph and Sarah (Bates) Roller, both natives of Ohio.

The father of Mr. Roller settled in Green township when few families had located here permanently and when pioneer conditions pre- vailed where now every evidence of civilization is seen. David J. Roller attended school in the village of Washingtonville and subsequently devoted himself to agricultural pursuits which he followed until his death. In 1861, he was married to Catherine J. Weikart, who was born in Green township, Mahoning County, Ohio, September 15, 1840, and is a daughter of Jacob and Sarah (Shriver) Weikart.

Peter Weikart, the grandfather of Mrs. Roller, came to Ohio from Adams County, Pennsylvania, and purchased a section of land in Green township, in what was then Colum- biana County. He divided this 640 acres among his four sons, Jacob, father of Mrs. Roller, receiving his share. The latter was born in Pennsylvania and was married there, coming to Ohio with his family in 1824. He settled on the 160 acres given him by his father in Green township. These early settlers en- dured many pioneer hardships but both Jacob Roller and wife lived to advanced age and were among the township's most highly re- spected people. A large family was born to them, the survivers of which are the following : Lewis C., residing in Miami County, Ohio; Samuel J., residing in Hardin County ; George W., residing at Alliance; Hiram L., residing at Leetonia; Harriet S., who has resided with her sister, Mrs. Roller, for the past 45 years ; and Catherine J., widow of David J. Roller.

Mr. and Mrs. Roller had three children, all daughters, May, Gay and Fay, the latter of whom is deceased.

In his political views, the late David J. Roller was a Democrat and at all times took an intelligent interest in the public affairs of the township. Personally he was a man of sterling character and enjoyed the friendship and esteem of the best of his fellow-citizens. For many years he was active in the Masonic fraternity, was a member of Salem Comman- dery, No. 42, K. T., Salem, and of Al Koran Temple, Mystic Shrine, at Cleveland. The beautiful ritual of the fraternity was used at

D O. MCCAULEY,* funeral director, located at No. 26 East Federal street, Youngstown, was born at Watts- burg, Erie County, Pennsylvania, in 1876, but at the age of three months was taken by his parents to Bradford, Penn- sylvania, where he was reared and educated. His first industrial business was with the Balti- more & Ohio Railroad, and he continued in the' railroad service for nine years. He then became an embalmer for Mathew Hanlon, at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and after one year with him was employed in the same capacity by Art Rice, at Sisterville, West Virginia, where he remained two years. In 1903 he came to Youngstown and in July of the present year he embarked in an undertaking and em- balming business. He is a graduate of the Champion School of Embalming.

Mr. McCauley belongs also to the Knights of Columbus, the Catholic M. B. Association and the Ancient Order of Hi- bernians.

H. PARK .* president of the W. H. Park Land Company and identi- fied with other important business enterprises at Youngstown, Ohio, was born in Pennsylvania, in 1853. and was six years of age when he accompanied his father to Youngstown, where the latter engaged in a mercantile business.

W. H. Park was reared and educated in Youngstown, and, for all practical purposes. may be regarded as a native, as his interests have been so long centered here. After learn- ing something of business in his father's store, he went into the limestone business and still later organized the Crystal Ice Company and built the plant. He operated the latter for some time and then sold out, and since then has been associated with H. G. Hamilton in extensive land deals, both in the south and in this vicin- ity, having been identified with the construc- tion of several railway lines. The W. H. Park Land Company was organized by. Mr. Park and Mr. Hamilton and was incorporated with a capital of $50,000, and the following offi- cers: W. H. Park, president, Allen Morrison, secretary, and H. G. Hamilton, R. Montgom- ery, Ella Morrison and W. H. Park, directors. The company since its organ- ization has platted Oak Hill, Willis and Dellason avenues, Market street and' Gert- rude and Hillman Places and have built many houses and disposed of them. They built the Park theater, in which Mr. Park has since sold his interest. He is always a man absorbed in some large enterprise and just at this writing is working to get the right of way through Youngstown for the Lake Erie & Eastern Railroad. He has a financial interest also in the Morris Hardware Company.

Mr. Park owns an elegant home in this city and passes the greater part of the year here, but during the hot months he, with other local capitalists, repairs to the elegant club house they have erected at Chaffey Locks, on the banks of the Rideau, in the province of On- tario, Dominion of Canada.

LBERT H. BUEHRLE .* wholesale and retail dealer in feed, grain, seed and flour, at Youngstown, is one of the city's representative business men and is identified with many of its prosperous enterprises. He was born at Youngstown, in 1879, and is a son of John

1030

HISTORY OF MAHONING COUNTY

Buehrle, a pioneer business man of this city. John Buehrle, now a retired resident of Youngstown, was born not far from the city of Berlin, Germany, and was 19 years of age when he came to America, in 1853. Shortly afterwards he came to Youngstown, possess- ing no capital except youth, ambition and in- dustry, but soon found employment in a gro- cery and dry goods store, where he remained until the outbreak of the Civil War. In 1862, he enlisted in the 37th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and served faithfully through three years and seven months. He was with Sherman in his march to the sea, and participated in many of the greatest battles of the war. He enlisted as a private but when he was honorably dis- charged, he wore the uniform of a corporal. Upon his return to Youngstown, Mr. Buehrle looked around for a good business opening, and in 1867 he established the flour, feed, grain and seed business, which he sold to his son in the latter part of April, 1900, and which has been conducted by the latter ever since.

Albert H. Buehrle was reared in Youngs- town and secured his education here, spending two years in the Rayen High School. In 1893, he entered into partnership with his brother, Voltaire, under the firm name of Buehrle Bros.,

they purchasing the china business of A. J. Wil- liams. On September 7, 1900, another brother, John A. M. Buehrle, bought into the firm. In the spring of 1901, Albert H. Buehrle closed out his interests in Buehrle Bros. In addition to his flour, feed and grain business, Mr. Buehrle is connected with many of Youngs- town's most important business enterprises. He is vice-president of the Concrete Sand and Stone Company ; secretary and treasurer of the Youngstown Cattle Company, and has filled the office of secretary and treasurer of the Stevenson Mining and Development Company. His offices and business location are at No. 323 Commerce street.

In 1904, Mr. Buehrle was married to Alma E. Ewing, who is a daughter of W. J. Ewing, a retired farmer now residing at Youngstown. Mr. Buehrle is an Odd Fellow. He deserves the name of good citizen, for, having large private interests to occupy his attention, he willingly devotes time and financial assistance to encourage public enterprises tending to pro- mote the welfare of the general community. His name is one which has been held in high esteem by the people of Youngstown and vi- cinity for many years as indicative of business integrity.
