and a cabin built in the clearing before moving upon it. Here he lived until 1864, when he disposed of the property and came to this township, and bought and settled on the 120 acres where he now resides. He has had a family of seven children, three only of whom are now living-Nel- lie, born February 19, 1857; Eva, born February 22, 1859; Leland, born July 24, 1872. Mrs. Richards and daughters are members of the M. E. Church at Columbia, and the family stand high in the regard of their neighbors.
DAVID RIGGLEMAN (deceased), son of John and Rebecca (Cool- man) Riggleman, was born in Medina County, Ohio, May, 14, 1835. Our subject came to Williams County in 1858, shortly before which time, on September 24, 1857, he was married to Elizabeth Ault, of Wayne County, Ohio. They settled on the farm on which Mrs. Riggleman now lives. Previous to his settlement here, Mr. Riggleman made arrange- ments to have some land cleared and a house built thereon. After set- tling, he commenced the work of further clearing his land and farming, in which he was engaged until the period of his death, May 22, 1879. He left seven children to the care of his widow-William F., Clement L., George, Mary C., Russel A., Samuel J. and Clyde. Since the death of her husband, Mrs. Riggleman, with her children's assistance, has man- aged the estate. She has a farm of eighty acres with good improvements. She is a member of the Lutheran Church, and is universally esteemed in the community in which she lives.
MARTIN SHANKSTER was born in Jefferson Township, Williams County, Ohio, November 22, 1842. He is one of the family of John and Nancy (Streets) Shankster, who were both natives of England, com- ing to America and settling in Williams County at a very early day. At the first election in which the father of our subject took part, the Town- ships of Jefferson and Pulaski polled only eight votes ; he still lives to marvel at the growth of the country. Our subject is a farmer, and re- sides on eighty acres-a man of intelligence and fair school education. On October 14, 1867, he was married to Sarah Long of this county. Both Mr. Shankster and his wife are exemplary members of the German Baptist Church. It should not be omitted in this connection to state that Mr. Shankster came to this township in the year 1877.

until the time of leaving Pennsylvania. Since he came to Ohio he has been engaged at farming most of the time, having always been a hard worker. On May 8, 1837, he was married to Mary M.

T. B. SPEEKER was born in Seneca County, Ohio, March 10, 1850, and is the youngest of a family of seven children born to David and Mary A. (Linn) Speeker. His father is a blacksmith, having worked at the trade forty years. He came to Williams County in 1855, settling in Bridgewater Township, where he labored at blacksmithing and farm- ing; he is now engaged at selling books in Williams County ; he is a great checker-player, being accorded one of the foremost experts at checkers in the State of Ohio. T. B. Speeker is likewise a blacksmith by occupation ; he began the trade at twenty-one years of age, and is still engaged thereat. He has a shop on Section 25, of this township, where he is securing a full share of patronage. He was married, Novem- ber 2, 1878, to Eva Reed, of Northwest Township. He has one child, named Frank H. He is enterprising, industrious and deserving of every success.
T. F. WHALEY, one of the pioneers of Williams County, was born in Genesee County, N. Y., January 31, 1818. He is the son of Thomas and Susan (Fitzgerald) Whaley, both natives of the State of New York. Mr. Whaley moved to Michigan early in 1839, stopping some time in portions of the State, and coming to Northwest Township, Ohio, in June, 1839; his business here was to look after land of his father, and the place suiting him, he erected a cabin-20x26-the largest then known in Northwestern Ohio, and raised by eight men. Soon after this he went to clearing the land and farming. There being no mills within reach, they made mortars in which to pound or grind their grain ; this was done for years. Indians were very numerous, there being but four white men in Northwest Township. On January 30, 1842, he was married to Abi- gail Hill, this being the second marriage in this township. To this union five children were born, four now living-Simeon, Myron, Morris and Ellen ; these are married, the two eldest living in Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs. Whaley are members of the U. B. Church. They have a good farm of 120 acres.
