John Meily Hoffa, whose name introduces this sketch, received his education in Pennsyl- vania, in part at the district schools and an academy, in part at the "College Palatinate," at Myerstown, which institution had been organized out of the academy. On leaving college he, in 1872, commenced to learn the trade of a printer in a job office at Myerstown, and in 1874 opened a job office in the same town, which he carried on until 1876, in that year moving to Palmyra. Penn., where he continued in the same line of business until 1878, when, in connection there- with, he established the Londonderry Weekly Gasette. In the course of about a year he sold out, and in ISSo removed to La Rue, Marion Co., Ohio, and bought the News of that place, the publication of which he continued until 1882, when he disposed of his interest therein. In 1883 he moved to New Carlisle, Clark Co., Ohio, and bought the Sun, publishing the same until 1890, in which year he disposed of his property there took up his residence in Ottawa, Putnam Co., Ohio, and bought the Ottawa Gasette. In 1893 he sold this out, and purchased a one-fourth interest in the Wood County Sentinel (Daily and Weekly), at Bowling Green, which interest he still owns. In the fall of 1895 he also purchased stock in the Daily and Weekly Tribune, at the same place, consisting of 921 shares, and in March, 1896, he assumed the editorial manage- ment of that paper, his present incumbency. Later he purchased more stock, and now owns nearly half of that plant. These papers are a success, having few, if any, equals.
In 1875, John M. Hoffa was married at P'al- myra, Penn., to Miss Ida J. Zimmerman, who

was born January 3, 1859, at that town, a daughter of Abram and Maria (Kieffer) Zimmer- man, the former of whom, a stonemason by trade, was born May 13, 1831, a son of John Peter, a farmer, and Sarah Zimmerman. The latter couple were the parents of children as follows: Henry; Abram; Daniel; Elizabeth, wife of Henry Miller of Annville, Lebanon Co., Penn. (they have three children -- John, Joseph and Catherine); Sarah, wife of Mr. Farling, of Lebanon county, Penn. ; and Kate. Mrs. Maria (Kieffer) Zimmer- man was a daughter of John Kieffer, who was also born in Lebanon county, Penn., and who mar- ried Sarah Horstick, born August 10, 1817, and by her had two children. viz .: Maria (Mrs. Abram Zimmerman), born April 24, 1840; and Reuben, a coal dealer at Annville, Lebanon Co., Pennsylvania.
To Abram and Maria Zimmerman were born children as follows: Ida J.

(have two children). The father of this family died Novem- ber 2, 1886; the mother is now living at Hum- melstown, Dauphin Co., Pennsylvania.
To our subject and wife have come four chil- dren, to wit: (1) Mary J., born May 6, 1876, married to Clarence W. Griswold, at Ottawa, Ohio, where he is agent for the Findlay, Ft. Wayne & Western railroad and the American and National Express companies; they have two children-Ella Meily and Linn. (2) Meily Val- entine, born February 14, 1878, died of typhoid fever October 29, 1891, at Ottawa, Ohio; (3) Harry Levi Marcellus, born April 6, 1881; (4) Abram Zimmerman, born September 21, 1886, at Ottawa. Mr. and Mrs. John M. Hoffa are members of the Lutheran Evangelical Church. Socially he has been affiliated with the P. O. S. of A. since he was eighteen years of age, joining Camp No. 192 thereof at Palmyra, Penn .; he held the position of State master of forms and cere- monies, and for one year was State trustee in Ohio; also was district president at large. At La Rue, Olio, he organized a camp of the P. O. S. of A. and also united with Day Lodge No. 28, I. O. O. F., at La Rue, and is a past noble grand, and still retains membership in that society. At Richland he joined the Encamp- ment, there being none at La Rue. He became a member of La Rue Lodge No. 463, F. & .A. M .. and affiliated with New Carlisle Chapter No. 57 and New Carlisle Council No. 30, both at New
-
Carlisle. While residing at Ottawa, Ohio, being within the jurisdiction of Lima, he became a member of Shawnee Commandery No. 14. Knights Templar, and on moving to Bowling Green he associated with the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of the Valley of Toledo, being a inember of Miami Lodge of Perfection, Fort In- dustry Chapter Rose Croix, at Toledo, and Northern Light Council, Princes of Jerusalem. He also belongs to Lake Erie Consistory, at Cleveland, Ohio, which includes the 32nd degree in Masonry. At Palmyra he became a member of Castle No. 7, Knights of the Mystic Chain; at New Carlisle he joined the Knights of Pythias Lodge; while at Ottawa he united with the K. O. T. M. and the National Union. A Re- publican in politics, Mr. Hoffa served as corpor- ation clerk at New Carlisle, and on the board of health until he removed from that place. He was a member of the Building and Loan Associa- tion there, a director for two terms, also vice- president until he removed, and at the present time is vice-president of the Building and Loan Association at Bowling Green, which is a branch of the Cleveland Indemnity and Loan Association.
F. T. HEDGE, the senior member of the well- known firm of F. T. Hedge & Co., is at the head of the largest tile factory in Wood county, and is one of its most successful and enterprising business men. He is a native of Ohio, born in York township, Medina county, May 5, 1853, and is the second son and third child in the fam- ily of George B. and Kate (Crawfoot) Hedge. He was quite small when brought to Wood coun- ty, where he acquired his education in the dis- trict schools, and previous to his seventeenth year worked upon the home farm and in his father's mill. At that time Mr. Hedge began learning the saddler's trade with Andrew Emerine, at Fostoria, Ohio, where he worked for two years, when failing health caused him to abandon that trade for a time, though he later followed it for several years, in fact, until 1885. In the early "eighties" he began brick and tile making in Montgomery township with his brother G. W .. buying an interest in the business of Russel Mor- gan. His father afterward became a partner in the enterprise, but later sold his share to another brother, HI. W., and the firm assumed the pres- ent title, that of F. T. Hedge & Co. They are now extensively engaged in the manufacture of tile, having a large plant erected in 1892. the main building being 40 x98 feet, four stories in height, with a wing 36x 82 feet. Our subject thoroughly understands the business in all its

departments, the arrangement for drying being originated by him, and very economical.
At the home of Harlow Hill, in Montgomery township, on February 13, 1887, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Hedge and Miss Martha Caskie, who was born near Carey, Ohio, May 3, 1858, and is the daughter of James and Matilda (Smith) Caskie. They began housekeeping in Montgomery township, on Section 18, and in 1892 remodeled their residence, and now have a comfortable and pleasant dwelling. The home has been brightened by the birth of two children -Jay C., born January 19, 1889; and George B., born October 9, 1892. Mr. Hedge uses his right of franchise in support of the men and measures of the Democratic party, but takes no active part in political affairs; socially he is a worthy member of Petroleum Lodge No. 499, K. of P., of Prairie Depot; of Prairie Depot Lodge No. 646, I. O. O. F .; and Crystal En- campment No. 271. Like all of the members of the well-known Hedge family, of Montgomery township, he is prosperous and well-to-do, his success being mainly due to his own ability, en- terprise and industry, and as the result of his ef- forts he has secured a comfortable competence, which is justly merited.
B. L. ABBOTT, a prominent attorney at law of Bowling Green, was born in Townsend town- ship, Huron county, July 5, 1850. His grand- father Abbott came at an early date with his fam- ily to Huron county, from Trumansburg, Yates county, New York.
Our subject's father, James R. Abbott, was about seventeen years old at the time of this re- moval, and he at once devoted his energies to serving the best interests of the people among whom his lot was cast. He united with the Bap- tist Church before he had attained his majority, and supplying the deficiencies in his education by private study, he prepared for the ministry. His first charge was in Huron county, where he re- mained many years. He then preached at Reading, Mich., for seven years, after which he moved to Grand Rapids where his active useful- ness was cut short by a stroke of paralysis, caused by overwork. The last twelve years of his life were spent in the home of our subject at Bowling Green. He was married in 1842 to Miss Caroline Smith, who was born in 1824, and is now resid- ing with her son, Fred E. Abbott, at Bowling Green, the youngest of her five children. The others were Amanda (deceased), who married Daniel Howe, of Crawford county, Ohio; James R., a resident of Montcalm county, Mich. : B. L.,
our subject; and Ida, the wife of Frank S. Joels, of Fredonia, New York.
Our subject's early life was spent in Michigan, where he acquired a knowledge of vocal music which afterward served him well. In 1871 he came to Bowling Green and studied law with all uncle, Philander S. Abbott, a well-known lawyer. He had intended to take a course in literature and law at Michigan, but the illness of his father compelled him to become the " bread winner " for the family, and in the emergency he resorted to the teaching of vocal music. His professional studies were postponed for several years, but after his marriage, in 1876, to Miss Mary L. Marshall, he resumed them, and August 13, 1878, was admitted to the bar. His wife is a native of the Buckeye State, born September 20, 1854, and she is an admirable helpmeet, cultured and sympathetic. They have five children: Floyd L., Henry L., Emergene L., Lilah Belle, and Lorene.
Mr. Abbott began to practice law with a former preceptor, Edson Goit, and the partner- ship lasted until the death of Mr. Goit. He has a good civil practice, and has been unusually suc- cessful in the conduct of business entrusted to him. Recently he engaged in oil producing, has sunk three paying wells and has others under way. Politically he is a Republican, and he has held several important official positions. In 1886 he was elected mayor, and for more than thirteen consecutive years has been a justice of the peace. About two years ago his friends were surprised at. a new departure, seemingly out of his line, when he announced his discovery of a cure for bald- ness, which he christened " Baldoline." His well-tried integrity lent credit to his claims for the new remedy, however, and the test of expe- rience has abundantly confirmed them in every case where the treatment has been properly given.
HON. ROBERT J. COLLIN, mayor of Tontogany, and a leading druggist of that town, was born July 21, 1849. in Medina, Ohio. His parents Ephraim and Matilda (Hall) Collin, were both born near Ely, Cambridgeshire, England. his father in 1825, and his mother in 1828. They were married there, and in 1848 came to the United States making their home near Medina. Ohio, until 1853, when they came to Wood county; but in the following year, owing to the breaking out of cholera in that section, they re- turned to Medina county, and bought a farm at Chatham Center. They sold this in the fall of 1860, and in the spring of 1861 they came to
50
WOOD COUNTY, OHIO.
Wood county, where they purchased wild land near Perrysburg, which they cleared and im- proved, converting it into a fine farm. Here they remained until the fall of 1874, at that time selling out their possessions in Wood county, and once more returning to Medina county, where they now reside. Mrs. Collin is a faithful ad- herent of the M. E. Church. Mr. Collin was an early Abolitionist, and one of the first in his lo- cality to unite with the Republican party. They are the parents of four children: Robert J., our subject; Sophia, wife of Joseph Carpenter, of Perrysburg; Charles, a farmer in Medina county; and Wilson, deceased at the age of sixteen years.
Robert J. Collin, the subject proper. of this sketch, received his education in part at the country district schools of Medina and Wood counties, three years at the high school of Perrys- burg, and one year at Berea, graduating in 1875, at Valparaiso, where he had been studying iwo years. When he came to Wood county, in 1853, bears and wolves abounded, and around on his father's farms near Perrysburg, in 1861, deer were frequently seen in droves. He taught five terms in district schools and two years in Miami schools, and then began to read medicine in Per- rysburg, in 1876, a year later coming to Tonto- gany, where he bought an interest in a drug store since carried on under the firm name of Davis & Collin. This is one of the most substan- tial business enterprises in the vicinity. In ad- dition to his drug business he is interested in farm land, owning property in Washington town- ship, also in Kansas.
On June 24, 1879, Mr. Collin married Miss Alice Hannah, a native of Ottawa county, Ohio, born August 28, 1854, and they have two chil- dren: Arthur, born September 16, 1880, and Harry, born December 4, 1885, who havealready given their allegiance to the church of their an- cestors, the Methodist, of which Mr. Collin has been a prominent member for years. For the past eighteen years he has been superintendent of the M. E. Sunday-school. The same sterling characteristics which have led to Mr. Collin's success in other lines of effort, have made him a favorite candidate for official position, as he is now serving his third term as township clerk, and was in April, 1895, elected to the office of mayor of his town. Socially he is a member of the F. & A. M., Tontogany Lodge No. 451.
EDWARD R. SAGE, one of the most highly re- spected citizens of Montgomery township, is de- scended from an old New England family, and is
a representative of the seventh generation from David Sage, who was born in Wales, in 1639, aud came to Middleton, Conn., in 1652. The grandfather of our subject, George Sage, was born in 1772, and his wife, Harriet, in 1774. The father of our subject, also named George. was born July 4, 1801, in Middleton, Conn., and was married in Chatham, Conn., June 26, 1821. to Miss Lucy Davis, also a native of Connecticut, born November 4, 1799.
The father of our subject was a manufacturer and dresser of cloth, and followed that business for a time in Connecticut. In 1838 he removed with his family to Washington county, Va., where he settled near Glade Springs. He rented a full- ing-mill and carding-machine, which he operated some ten years. He then came to Ohio, travel- ing all the way in wagons, camping out most of the time at night, and occupying four weeks on the road. He settled in Vermilion township, Erie county, where he remained one winter, then going to Hartsgrove, Ashtabula county, where he bought 160 acres of land in partnership with another man. On this farm was a fulling-mill and carding-machine, which was run by water- power, and they subsequently built a gristmill on the same stream. Mr. Sage's partner proved to be dishonest, and two years later the firm failed. Mr. Sage had nothing left but a team of horses and eighty acres of land in Cook county, Ill., which latter proved upon examination, by a person sent for that purpose, to be of so little value that it was not worth the taxes. Mr. Sage was obliged to return to Erie county, where he died of bilious fever, July 22, 1840. He was naturally a robust, hearty man, and his early death was a great blow to his wife who was left with nine children to care for. Mr. Sage had but a limited schooling, but was a man of much natural ability, honest and industrious, a member of the Episcopal Church, and an old-time Dem- ocrat. His wife was a Methodist. She lived to be seventy-five years of age, and died in Huron. Ohio, and both are buried at Berlin Heights.
The children of this worthy couple were as follows: William G., born in Windham, Conn .. October 26, 1822, lives in Huron, Ohio; Edward R. and Edwin R. were born in Windhamn, Conn., January 18, 1825; Harriet M., born in Windham, February 10, 1827, is the wife of M. H. Parker, of Coldwater, Mich .; Orrin W., born in Wash- ington county, Va., September 1, 1829, enlisted, in 1864, in Company K, 144th O. V. I., and was taken prisoner with hisentire company . only nine of whom escaped ) at Berryville, Va. ( he died in the Rebel prison at Salisbury, N. C.); Elizabeth

J , born in Washington, Va., December 26, 1831, is the widow of Timothy Gould, of Prairie Depot; Louise, born in Washington county, Va., March 9. 1834, is the wife of Byron Case, of West To- ledo, Ohio; Charles J. was born April 11, 1836, 1:1 Washington. Va .; James M., born in Harts- grove, Ashtabula Co., Ohio, April 21, 1838, died in childhood.
Edward R. Sage, the subject of this sketch, had a limited education in the common schools of his day, whose curriculum seldom extended be- soud the "three R's." His father's early death left the family dependent upon their own exer- tions for a livelihood, but they managed to keep together, the boys learning various trades and the mother working at weaving. When sixteen years old Edward began learning the shoemaker's trade under Isaac Fowler, who had a country shop be- tween Vermilion and Huron. For four years the lad worked in this place at a salary of $4 a month, out of which he kept himself and had money left to give his mother. After his uncle was elected sheriff of Erie county, Mr. Sage started a shop of his own, which he carried on for a time. In the meantime his twin brother, Edwin R., had come to Wood county and bargained for 108 acres of land, and the family decided to follow him and locate on the property. Accordingly, in 1847, the mother, with six of her children-Edward R., Orrin, Elizabeth, Lucy, Charles, and James- caine by team and settled in Montgomery town- ship, making their home temporarily near the land mentioned. About a month afterward they were given possession, and a log cabin was their first home. This property was school land, and was bought in the name of William, the eldest son, it being intended as a home for the family, and that all the sons should aid in paying for it. The mother lived there for a short time, and then returned to Erie county, where she died. The three brothers-William, Edward, and Edwin- worked the farm together until it was paid for; about 1860 our subject purchased the property from his brothers, and has lived there ever since. Since that time he has sold a portion of it for town lots, and has now about ninety-five acres remaining. Most of the improvements on the place have been made by him, he having, in 1858, built the house which he now occupies.
On October 2, 1851, Mr. Sage was married at. Freeport, Ohio, to Miss Caroline Yant, who was born in Stark county, Ohio, June 30, 1828. Her parents were John and Dorothea (Usher) Yant, and her father was a hotel-keeper. Of this union five children have been born, namely: Roswell E., who died in childhood; Lucy D.,
now Mrs. Frank King, of Prairie Depot; John, residing with his parents; Charles, living at Prairie Depot; and William E., who is farming with his father. Mr. Sage, who is a self-made man, with the assistance of his good wife has prospered in the world, and is one of the substan- tial farmers of the township. He was in former days an Abolitionist, but has for many years been a stanch Republican. He has held a number of important local offices, being for eight years treasurer of the township, for six years justice of the peace, and also township assessor. He has served two terms as mayor of Prairie Depot, and has been a member of the city council. He and his wife are members of the Congregational Church. A man of genial disposition, who pre- serves the vigor and enterprise of youth, he is exceedingly popular with all who have the pleasure of his acquaintance. No citizen stands higher in the community or is more deserving of the esteem and respect in which he is held.
H. A. LEASE, a well known and leading citi- zen of Bowling Green, was born in Seneca coun- ty, Ohio, July 16, 1835. His parents were Joseph and Delilah (Olmstead) Lease, the former of whom was born in Frederick county, Md., in 1806. He followed farming until coming to Bowling Green, when he took up gardening as an occupation. He was a man of unusual men- tal powers, a great student of the Bible, which he knew by heart, although a free-thinker in his religious views, and looked upon life through the eyes of a philosopher. In politics he was a Dem- ocrat. He was a Scotchman by descent, and was a thrifty and industrious man. His death took place in Bowling Green, November 12, 1884. His wife was born in Frederick county, Md .. in 1812, and died April 28, 1891. Their two chil- dren were H. A., and Mary E., the wife of R. Gust, a capitalist of Fostoria, Ohio.
Our subject was reared to manhood in his native county, where he attended college for seven months, afterward teaching school and reading law at the same time. In September. 1858, he went to California where he taught school and mined until 1860. In 1861 he was admitted to the bar in the Supreme Court of Cal- ifornia; was appointed district attorney of Col- usa county, by the county commissioners, and served in that incumbency one term; was made assistant sergeant-at-arms of the Legislature of that State, in 1861, and served as copying clerk for the same body in 1863-64. He then went to Eldorado county, where he was employed as clerk in the office of the Placerville route of the Pacific

railway until 1866, when he returned to his home in Ohio. In 1867 he was admitted to the bar in Ohio. In 1869 he located in Bowling Green, and in the winter of 1870 was made enrolling clerk of the Ohio Senate, which position he filled for two sessions of the Legislature (1872-73), be- ing at the same time engaged in the practice of law. Owing to ill health Mr. Lease has been obliged to give up active work, and now devotes much of his time to literary pursuits, a most con- genial occupation, as he is a man of remarkably bright intellect, keen observation, and retentive memory. Upon the organization of the Bowling Green & Toledo Railroad Co., Mr. Lease was elected attorney for the same, and continued an official of the company as either attorney, di- rector, auditor or general manager until the road was sold to the C., H. & D. R. R. Co. In poli- tics he is a Prohibitionist, and uses his influence in promoting the interests of that party, believ- ing it to be the best means by which our country can be free from the curse of intemperance. He is an active member of the Presbyterian Church, and in all public enterprises does his part as a loyal citizen. He has been quite successful in business, owning considerable property in Bowl- ing Green, among which is that known as the Lease Building. Mr. Lease is unmarried, "and for free silver."

REV. HENRY DOTY, one of the leading min- isters of the United Brethren Church, now the pastor of the congregation at Bowling Green, has shown in the twelve years since his ordination a rare combination of practical business talent, with spiritual power as a preacher. Although well fitted to make his way to financial success in worldly lines, he abandoned a prosperous busi- ness in carly manhood (the management of a mill belonging to his father-in-law ), in order to devote his energies to the Church, and while his earnest exhortations and convincing logic have turned the thoughts of many to the truths of re- ligion, some trace of the natural financier is to be found also in churches built or repaired, or old debts paid, in every place where he has been stationed.
~Mr. Doty was born October 30, 1851, near Findlay, Ohio. His parents, John and Margaret (Walters) Doty, were both born in Fairfield coun- ty, Ohio, his father on October 20, 1816, and his mother in November, 1823. On the maternal side he is descended from an old Virginia family. His parents still occupy the same farm upon which they located fifty-two years ago, and at- tend the same Church with which they then united.
Their eight children are all living: ( 1 ) Margaret J., the wife of Thomas Cole, of Hancock county; (2) W. C., a resident of the same county; ( 3) Elijah, a lumber dealer at Leipsic, Ohio; (4) Henry, our subject; ( 5) Edward, a farmer in Hancock county; (6) John L., who lives at the old homestead; (7) H. Walter, a prominent young attorney at Findlay; and ( 8 ) Flora Emma, the wife of Rev. W. R. Arnold, the pastor of the U. B. Church at Bascom, Ohio. Our subject im- proved the educational opportunities afforded by the public schools of Hancock county, and then entered the Union Biblical Seminary at Dayton, graduating in 1888. He had previously been ordained at Helena, Ohio, September 21, 1883. His first charge was on Hoytville circuit, where during a two-years pastorate he had 175 acces- sions, and built a church. At North Baltimore he spent two years, received 195 new members, built one church at a cost of $4,000, and re- palred two others. He then came to Bowling Green, where he found the Church in a discour- aging state; but with the help of the faithful and energetic women of the Society he raised between five and six hundred dollars, and purchased a bell and other needed supplies. During his one-year's stay at that time eighty-five new members were received. In the two years following, on Syca- more circuit, he received 200 new members, and built a brick church costing $5,000, repaired two others and contracted for a parsonage. He then went to Dayton. where for three years he pursued a course of study in the Union Biblical Seminary, having charge during the last two years of his stay there of Miami Chapel (the old Mother Church of his denomination in Dayton ), and taking into fellowship 200 new members. Here $1, 800 was raised for repairs, and sundry debts to foriner preachers and presiding elders were paid, among them some of ten years' standing. His next charge was at Chicago Junction, where some debts were settled, and a parsonage built and paid for and 175 new members enrolled. In September, 1891, he returned to Bowling Green, where he has well sustained his reputation as an earnest worker. About 350 members have been added, and the church has been repaired at a cost of $4,000, all of which, except the amount raised by Bishop Cassel at the rededication, was solicited and collected by the pastor. On Sep- tember 23, 1895, at the Sandusky Annual Con- ference, he was elected presiding elder of the Fostoria District, and is now serving his second term as P. E. of the same District
