Democratic party for, and elected by a large majority to, the position of Judge of the Common Pleas District composed of Holmes, Coshocton, Wayne, Richland, Ashland, Morrow, Knox, Delaware and Licking Counties. In this position he has performed his duties impartially, and is honored by the profession, irrespective of political preferences. At the close of his time he declined renomination, preferring to resume his practice, which is a lucra- tive and in every way a satisfactory one.


The question of tariff, its operation and effect. has probably received as much of his attention, as from any man of his age in Ohio, and he is a pronounced tariff reformer. In 1884, before the name of "trust" was heard, he predicted, in a series of papers, that, fostered by high tariff taxes, combinations of capital would take place to raise prices of the neces- saries of life, to do which they would de- crease production, and consequently de- crease the amount of work and the wages of the toilers. He is a great admirer of Ex-President Cleveland for the exhibition of his courage seen in his message which called the public attention officially to the evils of the combinations which he had predicted were the natural outgrowth of high tariff, and, iu 1588, he took a prom- inent part in the tariff discussion, making thirty-six speeches, and having twice as many calls which he could not fill. He

recognizes that the economic question involved in the tariff, with its kindred growth, the trust, is the greatest danger now threatening the toiling people, and that to deal with the subject properly the peo- ple are called upon, for their own preser- vation, to bring to the front, and especially to the halls of Congress, men of the high- est ability, together with unflinching courage.


The judge is still a young man, and, in the years that lie ahead of him, is des- tined, if the people realize their own best interests, to have a still firmer hold on the hearts of the people than he already enjoys, and the ambitions of his youth may be far excelled in the realities of the future.


of Plain Township) and Mrs. Yarnell are residents of Wayne County. One son, Benjamin, is deceased, and n son of Mrs. Springer by a former marriage, Jacob Miller, Jr., is also deceased.


Nancy J. Springer remained with her parents until 1864, when she was married to Cyrus Yarnell, a native of Wayne County, son of Samuel and Elizabeth Yarnell. After their marriage the young couple removed to Missouri, where they lived until 1880, when Mr. Yarnell died, aged forty-five years. Mrs. Yarnell then returned to her native home, and has since lived in Wooster Township. She has had a family of five children, viz. : Joseph H. (deceased), Samuel, William (deceased ), Catherine Ellen and one who died in infancy.


M RS. NANCY J. YARNELL is a native of Wayne County, Ohio, THOMAS POWER was born in Washington County, Penn .. Decem- ber 31, 1807, and died in Wooster, Ohio, July 15, 1881. In 1818 his Father, Neal Power, with his family. set- tled on a farm in Wayne County, about two and one-half miles south of Wooster. In 1828 the subject of this sketch, then twenty-one years of age, began what proved to be a long business career, en- tering the employ of J. R. Church, whose born in Plain Township, a dangh- ter of Joseph B. and Catherine (Shelly ) Springer, and granddaughter of Jacob Shelly. Her parents came to Wayne County from Pennsylvanin in 1532, and became identified with all the material interests of the county. The mother died in 1871, and the Inther in 1879, aged sixty-seven years. They had a family of seven children, but two of whom, Ellen (now Mrs. William Myers, a store-room adjoined the court-house.

after commencing his work the court- house and all the surroundings were do- stroyed by fire, and he then accepted a position with Lake & Hand, and later with J. & D. Jones, dry goods merchants, of which latter firm he soon became a member. The firm afterward changed to T. & S. Power, who did business a num- ber of years. Subsequently Mr. Power engaged alone in the clothing business for years, being later on and up to the time of his death associated with his son, Perry J. Power, in the same business.


On November 19, 1835, Thomas Power was united in marriage with Belinda, daughter of Matthew Johnson, Sr., an old pioneer. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Power: Perry J., and two others who died in infancy. Mr. Power was actively engaged in business in Wooster for fifty-two years, and, through all the fuetnations and adversities experienced in a business career of all those years, he remained the same modest, generous, up- right citizen. He was a man of exempla- ry life, generous to friends, n devoted Imsband and father, a staneh friend and a good citizen.


Harrison. On his way with his company to Fort Meigs he was so pleased with the place that at the close of the war he bought property in Wooster, and with his wife and family of eight children-John S., Matthew, James, Belinda, Elias, Will- iam, Perry and Reasin-(all of whom have passed away) moved to Wooster in 1817. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were the early founders of the old Seceder Church at Wooster, and were identified with all the carly reminiscences of the place. Mr. Johnson served in several offices, as presi- dent of the town conneil, sheriff of Wayne County, etc. He died June 17, 1553. His wife, Mrs. Sarah Johnson, survival him many years. She was a woman of great excellence of character, and was be- loved by all who knew her. She lived with Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Power a gnar- ter of a century after the death of her Imisband and until the time of her death, in 1877. Mrs. Power, her daughter, was a lovely and inestimable woman, possess- ing many virtues. She was not only the most respected but one of Wooster's old- est residents, having lived here since 1817, a period of sixty-five years. Her house was the welcome home of relatives and Friends. Mr. and Mrs. Power were faithful members of the Episcopal Church. They had shared each other's joys and sor-

Her father, Matthew Johnson, Sr., well known to Wooster's oldest residents, was a captain rows for forty-five years. Mrs. Power in the War of 1812, serving under Gen. survived her husband only a short time,

for, on October 15 of the year following his decease, she was carried to her last resting place.


Their son, Perry J., who is well and fa- vorably known, was born in Wooster, Ohio, was educated in the public schools, con- meuced his business career as deputy postmaster (James Johnson being post- master) under President Buchanan, and · afterward continued as deputy postmaster two years with Enos Foreman, postmaster under President Lincoln; afterward he sold dry goods for two years with his uncles, J. B. and N. Power. In the year 1566 he engaged as merchant in the cloth- ing business, in which he continued until 1886. He was married in 1883 to Miss Mary D. Woods, of Baltimore. With his wife and family he removed, in 1886, to Chicago, IN., where he is engaged in the insurance business.


JACOB DURSTINE, junior member of the firm of Hartman & Durstine, lumber merchants and mannfactur- ers of building supplies. in Wooster, Wayne Co., Ohio, was born in Westmore- land County, Penu., October 22, 1823. His paternal ancestry, supposed origi- pally to have been Germans, were driven by the tide of war, in the fifteenth century, to the French border, settling in Alsace,


where their first authentic history be- gins. Here they lived many years, sub- jeet to all the vicissitudes of the wars of the sixteenth century; espousing the cause of the Huguenots and sharing their fate; enduring the horrors of the Catho- lie and other disturbances under the reign of Louis XIII, and sharing the misfor- tunes of the carly Protestants nnder Cath- olie political outrages, until finally. during the reign of Louis XIV, when Protestant- ism had seemingly received its final over- throw in Alsace, and it became unsafe longer to acknowledge their religious be- lief, they sought relief from Catholic in- tolerance and oppression, and with others, emigrated to the New World, where they hoped to be able to worship God accord- ing to the dictates of their own con- science.


Arriving in America abont the year 1660-twenty years before the treaty of William Penn-they located in what is now known as Berks County, Penn., and gave at once the name of their okl home. Alsace, to their new one, as a guide for those who might follow, which title is still retained as the name of a township in Berks County, which they originally settled. Here they planted a colony, and so far as possible established friendly re- lations with the Indians, acting only on the defensive in self-protection. This policy, added to their strong Protestant


601


WAYNE COUNTY.


and religious convictions, brought them into closo relations with William Penn, and aided materially in shaping and carry- ing into successful operation Penn's cele- brated treaty with the Indians in 1682, which transformed a savage wilderness into a great pacific commonwealth, with- out bloodshed. Several generations of the Durstine family here grew to matur- ity, and settled in various parts of the Colonies and Canada, the name in some instances being slightly changed, that of Hannah Dustan, the heroine of Haverhill, Mass., being a familiar example.


During the Revolutionary period, ono of the Durstines acted as a mail car- rier and special messenger, in the interest of the Colonial Government, and at the age of one hundred and five years walked twenty miles in a single day, through forest and over mountains, carrying an im- portant message to General Washington, and was a hale old man until his death, which occurred at the unusual age of one hundred and twenty years. One of the great-grandsons of this old veteran was the grandfather of the subject of this biographical memoir. He moved to West- moreland County, Penn., about the year 1800, and settled on a farm some dis- tance cast of Pittsburgh, when, as a village, it boasted of a population of only 1,500 people. The only public conveyance of products and merchandise at this time


was by teams, and between seed time and harvest he became a public teamster over the mountains between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. At one time he was en- trusted by the Government with a six- horse wagon-load of money from the United States Bank and Mint at Philadel- phia, which he carried secretly to the mountains for safety from the invading enemy in the War of 1812. Unlike some modern custodians of public funds, he did not "skip to Canada," but after the danger was over he returned the money in safety to the Government, receiving a receipt and letters of commendation which are yet preserved by the family.


He reared a family of nine children, one of whom, Abraham, at the age of twenty-two years, married Miss Catherine Sherriek, of Fayette County, Pen., by whom he had six children, three daugh- ters who died young, and three sons who grew to maturity: Jacob, John and Abraham, Jr., Jacob being the subject proper of this sketch.


At the age of two and a half years Jacob was brought to Ohio by his parents, who moved by the overland route in covered wagons in 1825, and settled on a tract of nubroken forest land at the june- tion of Wayne, Hohnes and Stark Coun- ties, on the banks of a pleasant stream, which, From its many adjacent sugar and maple trees, was named Sugar Creek.

Here they began at once to establish a home out of the wilderness. They lived in the primitive style of pioneer life and, as the family grew, gradually brought the forest under subjection, stontly contested by the Indians and wild beasts of the neighborhood. Game was plentiful, droves of deer coming within a few rods of the door. Wild turkeys and wild In- dians vied with each other in making tempting eries, to allure the young pion- vers to the hunt, but they were kept busy on the farm, as they were obliged to raise all necessaries, except what little they occasionally got in exchange by selling wheat at thirty cents a bushel, which they were obliged to take twenty or thirty miles to market. Luxuries they had none; coffee, tea and store clothes were almost unknown; stoves were a great rarity ; all fires for cooking and heating purposes were made in large deep fire- places, with backlogs drawn in by horses to keep up the fires during the long, tedious winters. They raised their own flax and wool, and spun and wove all their garments by the slow pioneer processes. There were no public schools at that time, and the educational advantages of Jacob Durstine were very limited, his boyhood days for the most part being spent in the labors of the farm; nevertheless by a few months' attendance at a subscription school taught by his father (at the re- " enne, where he now resides.


quest of the early settlers), and later by a few months' at the first publie school, he acquired sufficient education to enable him to teach in the early public schools of that section. Arriving at the age of manhood, he commeneed for himself on u leased farm in Wayne County, adjacent to his father's.


At the age of twenty-three he married Miss Mary Aun Hartman, sister of his present partner, a native of Cumberland County, Penn , and daughter of Rey. Peter and Elizabeth Hartman, who had moved to Wayne County, Ohio, in 1830. Three years later Mr. Durstine bargained for the old homestead in Sugar Creek, to which he moved, and here remained un- til some of the children born to this union were of such an age that better school facilities were desirable. He then soll the old homestead farm and bought anoth- er near Wooster, whither he moved in the spring of 1867. Here he devoted his time to the management and improvement of his farm, at the same time affording opportunities for the education of his children, of whom there were five. In 1876 he abandoned agricultural pursuits, and, renting his farm, came to Wooster. where he embarked in the lumber busi- ness, the firm of Hartman & Purstine being established that year. Two years later he purchased a home on Beall .I.

The children completed university courses, and are now nearly all married and settled elsewhere.

shipping commissary stores to the front, his wife being president of the Auxiliary Aid Society, organized to send supplies to the soldiers on the field and in hos- pitals.
