THOMAS J. HELLINGS, merchant; West Middleburg; for business enterprise coupled with success, no one deserves more credit in the history of Middleburg than Thomas J. Hellings, who, although a young man, is well known in this part of the county. In writing the industries of this township it is only just to say, Mr. Hellings store, for the elegante of the goods, for the carefully selected vari- ety and exquisite taste in the display of every- thing, has few equals in the county. This is all the more remarkable when it is known that it is all the growth of the past eight years, In IS ?? , Mr. Hellings, in connection with his father, opened a small stock in a part of the room he now occupies, which in connection with his father, and since the latter's death, which occurred Sept. 1, Isis.

he has gradually increased the business until his annual sales amount to about $12,000 per year, and still increasing. To those who are acquainted with Tom's careful business habits and his very obliging disposition, treating every customer with the utmost at- tention and courtesy, his remarkable success is not surprising. He is the only son of Sarah Ann (Euans) Heliings, and was born in Middleburg, Oct. 8, 1848, and after receiving a common school education, he graduated at Nelson's Business College, Cincinnati, in 1866; his father, Harrison Hellings, was born in Bucks Co., Penn., Dee. 20, 1814, and was the son of John and Margaret (James) Hell- ings, and came to Ohio in 1833, locating with his parents near Mt. Moriah Church, and a year later in Middleburg, and married Miss Sarah Ann Euans, April 4, 1838; she was born in Zane Tp., March 1, 1820; her parents, Joseph and Rhoda (Heppard) Enans, were among the first settlers in Zane Tp. From this nnion there were two children-Catha- rine Ann, born Oct. 1. 1840, and married to 1. M. Sharp, a native of this township, whose family history appears elsewhere, and Tom J. the subject of this sketch. For the twenty years succeeding his marriage, Harrison fol- lowed the carpenters' trade, which he had learned in Pennsylvania; in 1858 heengaged in the saw-mill business and run a farm, continu- ing this about twelve years; in 1871 he opened a grocery in Bellefontaine, in connection with his son, and after about six months, removed to West Middleburg, where he continued in business as above stated, under the firm name Ilellings & Son, until the time of his death. Thomas J. married Miss Amanda C. Marquis, Dec. 27, 1870. She was born in Zane 'Tp., Jan. 2, 1850, and is the daughter of Thomas and Mary Ann (Stephenson) Marquis, the his- tory of whose family appears in full else- where. From this union there is a daughter -Edna G., born March 18, 1874. Should you think our description of Mr. Helling's store the least overdrawn, just drop in and look through his large stock and get prices, and you will be convinced that the tenth has not been told you. He is at present the Treasurer of the township; he is also a mem- ber of East Liberty Lodge No. 241, A. F. & A. M., Star Chapter No. 126, North Lewis- burg, and Logan Council No. 34, R. & S. M.


LEVI INSKEEP, farmer and stock-raiser. P. O., West Middleburg. The Inskeeps are an old pioneer family who were among the first to settle in this locality, coming from Virginia; Job, the father of the sub- ject of this sketch, was born in Culpepper Co., Va., and came to Ohio when he was 1I years of age. He received a common education at the old Quaker church, and when about 25 years of age he married Miss Sarah Sharp, daughter of John Sharp, and who was born in . Chillicothe. Job located in Zane Township, on a woody tract of 60 acres, and immediately began to improve it, adding as his financial condition would allow, until at one time he owned 510 acres of land. He served seven years as captain of militia, and was for a short time in the war of 1812. The subject of our sketch was born Sept. 5, 1821. and, when 25, married Miss Sarah Jane, daughter of Henry and Rachael (Wells) Reymer. She was born in Perry Tp. May 4, 1822, and her pa- rents were early settlers in Logan C'o. Three children have blessed their nnion-Lu- cinda C., married to William A. West; Lycar- gus, married to Viola Grubbs, and Frank, who lives at home. Lovi has an excellent farm on the famous limestone belt, rich, well watered, and possessing all the natural re- soutrees necessary to a fine farm, it being one of the best in the township. Two hundred rods of hedge adds its attractiveness to the farm, and a sugar camp of 3,000 vessels forms a paying industry. He is a snecessful farmer, and a man that stands well in the community.


RUSSELL BIGELOW JOHNSON, farmer; P. O., West Middleburg; was born in Union Co., April 9, 1841; his father, John Johnson, was a native of Fleming Co., Ky., and in 1809 came to Ohio, settling at the head waters of the Maekachack; his first wife's name was Abigail Sonthard; he is a local preacher in the Methodist Protestant Church, and a large land owner. The subject of our sketch re- ceived a common school education, and after working for some time on the farm, he moved to Logan Co., settling on the line of Monroe and Zane Tp's. On April 20, 1862, he mar- ried Miss Lucetta French, who was born Nov. 27, 1841, and is a native of Logan Co .; her parents were Elijah and Hulda (Marmon) French. From this union there are two

children living- - Paris Franklin, born Jan. 13, 1×6). and Cassius Ellery. born Nov. 2, 18;2. Ross Il Bigelow owns a very fine farm, well watered and with a superior under-drainage; although his land is well adapted to the rais- ing of wheat and corn be pays more particular attention to the raising of stock; his farm also contains a sugar camp of some 500 trees. from which annually about 2,000 pounds of sugar are produced. He is a good citizen, and is esteemed by all who know him.


THOMAS MARQUIS, farmer; P. O., West Middleburg; descendant from the old Irish family of that name: was born in Knox Co .. O., Jan. 27, 1813. In his day they had not the advantages of a school educational sys- tom that are possessed by the children of to- day. His schooling was received in the little old pioneer log cabin which sat in a small clearing surrounded by the necessary con- comitants of early times. His father was a farmer, and Thomas followed in his footsteps. At the age of 22 he married Miss Mary Ann Stevenson. Shortly after his marcia_e he moved to Zane Tp. and rented a small farm: he soon bought the farm where he now re- sides; when the first came into possession of the farm he found only five acres deadend; al the subsequent improvements be has put un himself; le possesses 95 acres, of which the acres are under excellent cultivation and pro- dure abundantly; the land is well watered and drained; he has on the farm a fine orchard, and a "camp" of $50 trees, manufacturing annua ly about 800 pounds of sugar; he, how- over. pays attention to stock-raising. He has raised a family of eight, seven of whom are living - William Stevenson and Elizabeth Jane are married and living in lowa; Melissa is dead: Nowell, Samuel and Oliver are mar- ried and live in Zane Tp .: Amanda C. and Salas W. also live in this township. Nowell, conjointly with his father, carries on the farm. Thomas Marquis has achieved all his success from hard work. He has held vations pri- tions of trust in the township, and enjoy the happiness of an industrious Christian farmer.


JAMES MARQUIS, retired farmer: West Middleburg. Men are a success who win, and of those who by their industrious and miense application to business have now not only a large share of this word's grounds, but what is better the golden opinion and regard of their


neighbors. The subject of this sketch and his loving wite stand second to none. Ile was born in Knox Co., Ohio, Ang. 21, 1810, and entering Logan Co. in 1822, located at Bellefontaine, which at that time contained but fow houses, and was not as large as West Middleburg; he received what education ho then possessed in Knox Co. and after reach- ing Bellefontaine, began to learn the black- smith ng trade; he worked at his trade for a number of years, and it was while working at his vocation that he assisted in the task of shoving the Indian pomes belonging to the Wyandot Nation, on the departure of that tribe for the far West; in 1834 he bought the land he now owns, and in 1810 moved upon the same. At the time there were but few improvements on the land, and he imi- mediately began to fix things up, and has con- tumed to carefully cultivate the same until he has an excedent fum, well drained and well watered. He also possesses valuable property near Middleburg; he married, Dec. 9, 18-411, Lydia Ann Dickinson, born Sept. 10. 1821. and it must be confessed that a large share of his success in life is attributable to her energy, economy and loving interest. Her grand- father was an early settler in Ohio, entering the State in 1806. Her father, Richard, and mother. Margaret (Henry) Dickinson, were married Oct. 21, 1817, and are still living, probably the oldest couple that have always lived in this county. Lydia Ann gained ber education by going to a subscription school three miles from her house, where, ina log rabin, with greased paper over an aperture in lien of glass, instruction was given to the whites and Indians. They have raised a fam- ily of two boys and two girls, namely-Rich- ard Addison, born in Is11; Erastus, 1846; Ball, 1819; Retta, IS6O. Mr. and Mrs. Marquis, with their youngost daughter, now reside in the village of Middleburg, but Mr. Marquis' active disposition still impels to de- vote a good share of his time to the care of his property.


SAMUEL MARQUIS, deceased; was born in Shenandoah Co., Va., June 16, 180; and was the son of William and Elizabeth (Nowell) Marquis, who moved to Knox t'o., ()., when Sammel was a babe. He married Miss Lucinda Astell, who was born March 29, Isis. Her parents, Lincoln and Sarah (Martin)

Axtell, were born in New Jersey, and, as well as Mr. Marquis' parents, were of Irish descent and moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio and settled near Martinsburg, where she was mar- ried Dec. 30, 1828. They moved to Logan Co. and settled on the farm where Mrs. Mar- quis now lives, where they raised a family of ten children, nine of whom are now living- William Maxwell, Sarah Ann ( married to Dan- iel Gorham) Thomas Newell, Daniel Martin, Elizabeth (dead), Julia (married to Samuel Ray). Francis Marion, James Harvey, Samuel Hamilton and Argus Jackson. Here Mr. Marquis cleared up his farm of 70 acres and an adjoining one of 80 acres. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, and died May 1, 1865. With Mrs. Marquis resides her granddaughter, Mary Francis, daughter of Thomas ant Hulda (C'url) Marquis, who was born a mute, March 16, 1866. She went to Columbus in 1874 to receive instruction in the asylum, and now writes readily, and is above the average in in- telligence, and can do all sorts of work. It was not discovered that she was a mute until she was 3 years of age.


A. W. MORTON, farmer; P. O., West Middleburg. Among the prominent and suc- cessful farmers Mr. Morton ranks with the first. He was born in Columbiana Co., O., July 31, 1832. His father, Israel Morton, was born in Pennsylvania, and mother, Ifan- nah (Conn.) Morton, in New Jersey. When A. W. was 6 years old his father moved to the village of Westville, where he kept a ho- tel nine years. He then moved to his farm, and one year later to Zane Tp., which was in 1848, and located on the farm now owned by Edmund Outland. The subject of our biog- raphy was married July 4, 186I, to Miss Sarah A. Inskeep, daughter of Job Inskeep, a native of Culpepper Co., Va., and came here among the very first settlers, with his father, Joshua, who figured prominently in the carly history of Zane Tp. Mrs. Morton was born March 5th, 1840. They have a fam- ily of three girls-Etta May, Rosa Myrtle and Edna Gertrude. Mr. Morton had an offer for an education for the law, but chose rather to follow the plow, in which he has achieved uncommon success. At the time of his marriage he had no land, and after pur- chasing a farm he found himself in debt to


the amount of about $5,000, with assets only about $1,200, but by careful attention to his business he managed in the course of four and a half years to clear his entire indebtedness. His farm now consists of 263 acres of good land, woll watered and under-drained, and especially adapted to wheat-growing, in which he has been an exceedingly successful producer. He has a sugar-camp of about 2,000 vessels, and produces about 4,900 pounds annually. He is a member of 1. O. O. F. Lodge No. 268, North Lewisburg. As a citizen, every- one speaks in the highest terms of Mr. Morton.


EDMUND OUTLAND, farmer and stock raiser; P. O., West Middleburg. Of the self- made men of Zane Tp. who have "dug their property out of the ground," Edmund Outland occupies a prominent and lead- ing position. Commencing with only 45 cents, his success and present high position is but a just tribute to his industry. His father, Josiah, was one of the pioneers of this locality, and was a large land owner. He raised a family of eleven boys and gave each of them a farm, with the single excep- tions of Edmund, who, for some reason, was left without a start, and to-day Edmund may attribute his success in a great measure to the fact, that he was compelled to work and save. Edmund was born November 29, 1814. At the age of twenty years and six months he married Rachel Stratton who was born in Zane Township, Oct. 2. 1813. Her parents, Joel and Rebecca (Ray) Stratton, wore among the earliest settlers in this locality, coming from Culpepper Co., Va., as early as 1806. The result of the union of Edmund and Rachael was six sons and six daughters. Amizetta, Henry, Olive, John, Caroline and Charlotte are married and well settled in life. When Edmund first began, he rented the farm where he now lives for two years, and managed, in the meantime, to raise enough money to make one payment. He began $6,000 in debt and in eight years had liqui- dated all incumbrances. At present he clears $1,000 a year. He owns 2543 acres in one body of excellent land, being one of the best watered farms in this locality, there being no less than twenty-two running springs on his land. The land is also well drained and being part of the limestone belt, pos- sesses the richness of that famous ridge in

the production of wheat and corn. Ilis farm, however, is the leading stock farm in this township, he making a specialty .of hogs and sheep. There is a "camp" of 3,000 vessels, which produced in the spring of 1880, 9,000 lbs. of sugar. He has good fruit and all the comforts of a well-kept and productive farm. lle is an exhorter in the Quaker Church, while his wife is a Free Will Baptist.


ISAAC PAINTER, farmer; P. O., North Lewisburg, " Uncle Isaac," as everybody calls the generous, warm hearted old gentleman whose name heads this sketch. was born in Frederick Co., Va., Dec. 5, 1809, and is one of the few survivors of that noble band of pioneers who helped make this country what it is to-day. His father, Abraham Painter, was born Nov. 1, 1281, and Sarah (Branson) Aug. 8, 1185. When he was two years of age his parents started to Ohio in a one-horse cart, and came as far as Lan- caster, O., where they remained over winter, and where another son, Walter, was born; his father then came to Garwood's Mills, now East Liberty, and engaged in the mill here; his father's family consisted of five boys and three girls, of whom Isaac was the only one who ever located in Zane, as it is now; his father moved to Jefferson Tp., where he died, Sagt. 4, 1834, having been one of the first pioneers in Perry Tp., then a part of Zane, and was also one of the first in Jefferson, and was a soldier of the war of ist2, as mention- ed in the history of the township. Isaac mar- ried Miss Hope Ballinger, Sept. 22, 1835, who was the daughter of Henry Ballinger, a pioneer; she was born Dee. 11, 1811. They forthwith located on the farm where he now resides, consisting of 50 acres, then entirely in the woods, and which he paid for with his own labor. From this marriage there were four sous-Henry, born May 22, 1835, Thomas 1 .. , July 26, 1836; Isaac B., March 26, ISI5; James Wesley Dec. 26, 1846; all now married, and the two oldest now settled in this town- ship. His first wife dying, he married Miss Augusta Martin, Feb. 2. 1852; she was born 1 _. 21, 1532, and is an accomplished and estimable lady, and formerly a teacher. They have two children-Elizabeth Jane, born Feb. 20. 1563, arol Benjamin Everett, July 18. 1867. He has served as Township Trustee, and is a


member of Lodge 546, 1. O. O. F., North Lewisburg; he has been a member of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church since 1830, and he and his wife are members of Mt. Moriah Church.


ISRAEL POOL, carpenter and contractor; West Middleburg. To maintain the con- fidence and respect of one's fellow citizens to such a dogrer as to be continuously kept in one offier for more than twenty years, is cor- tainly creditable to anyone; such is the his- tory of the gentleman whose name heads this sketch. He was born in Beaver Co. Pa., Ort. 8, 1826. His parents were Phineas and Ann (Young) Pool, natives of Pennsylvania, the latter of Bucks Co., and came to Columbiana Co., O., when Israel and his twin brother Joseph were 18 months old, where both were brought up to the carpenter trade, which they still tol- low in partnership, and many of the best public and private buildings in this township were built by them, among the former I'nion Chapel, Christian Church, and Mt. Moriah ro- built, which attests the superiority of their workmanship. He married Miss Mary W. Fast, daughter of Joshua and Susanna Fast, in 1849. She was born in Virginia, June 1. 1831. From this union there are five chil- dren, as follows-Isaac N .; Sarah Jane, mar- ried Oliver Marquis; Joseph E .; Charles Sum- ner, and Lewis Me. Ile came to Zane Tp. in 1855, and was elected Justice of the Peace soon after, a position which he has ever since held. Of late years he has acted as peacemaker more than the presiding officer of the court, in every case, whenever it was pos- sible, inducing his neighbors to settle their disputes without coming to trial, thereby sav- ing costs and unpleasantness. AAlthough Squire Pool received only a common school education, he has by careful reading and study, aided by a wonderfully retentive mem- ory, become one of the best informed men of the country on history, law and general liter- ature, and his advice and judgment are fre- quently sought. Although not a professional politician, he is well posted on the issues of the day, and occasionally takes the stump for the Republican party, of which he is an ardent supporter; and being a close thinker and clear reasoner, his speeches are spoken of as credit- able affairs. He served several months as a member of the 132nd O. V. I., in the capacity Regimental Clerk.

ZANE TOWNSHIP.


I. M. SHARP, deceased. Culpepper Co., Va., has furnished its quota to the solid farm- ing citizens of Zane, and the sons of the Old Dominion reflect credit and honor upon their Mother State. Among the pioneers who came to this locality about 1803 was John Sharp, grandfather of the subject of this sketch, who, moving from Virginia at the beginning of the present century, settled first in Ross Co., and at about the above-mentioned date, came to what is now Zane Tp. John Sharp's son, Isaac, was born in Virginia, and came to this section with his father. His wife was Jane (Austin) Sharp. JIe died in 1669. 1. M. Sharp, the subject of this sketch, was born Dec. 21, 1834, and remained with his father until his 26th year. On Feb. 2, 1861, he mar- ried Miss Catherine Ann Helling's, who was born Oet. 6, 1840; he located upon the farm which he occupied at the time of his death in 1861, and, aided by the industry of his wife, cleared and improved the farm, consisting of 63 acres, until at present it is in good condi- tion, well drained, and exhibiting the care and prudence of a good farmer in the out- buildings, fences, etc. On July 22, 18:9, Mr. Sharp died, leaving his wife the care of four children-Mary E., born Dec. 19, 1861; Wil- liam M., Sept. 20, 1863; Charles M., Doc. 4, 1864, and David M., May 29, 1866. She also has entire care and supervision of the farm, which, with its large sugar " camp " of 1,100 buckets, is no small matter. She ships her own sugar, sells her own corn and wheat, and, in fact, transacts all the business appertaining to a flourishing farm. At the time of his death Mr. Sharp was a Trustee of the town- ship. He was also Steward in the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which denomination he had been a member since his 14th year.


JOHN DOWNS SHARP, farmer; was born in Zane Tp., Aug. 29, 1831. Ilis father. Job Sharp, was born in Culpepper Co., Va ..

Job Sharp married Miss Sarah Ann Haines, a na- tive of New Jersey, who was born Oct. 15, 1803. From this union there were nine chil- dren. He was in the war of 1812, was a suc-


cessful farmer, having at one time 23; acres of land, and in politics he was an old line Whig. John Downs Sharp, remained with his father until the 26th year of bis age. In 185; he married Amanda E. Kennedy, a na- tive of Logan Co., whose parents came from Brown Co. at an early day. From this union there were three children, two only sur- viving, namely-Job Nelson, born June 8. 1861, and James Owen, born March 26, 1822. John Downs Sharp has a farm of about 100 acres, well under-drained, forming excellent wheat land. He has a camp of 400 trees and a fine orchard. Part of this farm is surrounded by a hodge, which, together with other improvements. materially increases its value, which at present is about $65 an acre. J. D. Sharp is a member of Lodge, 546, 1. (). O. F., and in politics is a Republican.


CARMAN CHAMPION STOKES, phy- sician: West Middleburg: was born in East Liberty. O., June 2, 1849, and is de- scended from one of the oldest and most in- fluential families in this township. and in his successful professional and business career sustains the family reputation in every res- pect; his grandfather, Joseph Stokes, came here from Culpepper Co., Va., in 1808, and located on the farm where the father of Dr. Stokes, Joseph Stokes, Jr., was born, Oct. 25, 1825; his mother, Susan (Austin) Stokes, was also a native of Logan Co. When he was four years of age his parents moved to Zanesfield, and here young Stokes attended school, and in 1861 they again moved to Middleburg, where he completed his common school edu- cation, and entered the Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity at Delaware, O., in 1862, where he remained about a year. The year following, he entered the office of Dr. William T. Sharp, and spent two years in the study of medicine, and then went South and spent a year to re- gain his,lost health: here he visited numerous battlefields and other points of war interest. Returning with renewed health, he entered the Cincinnati College of Medicine and Sur- gery, where he graduated, June 20, 1814: he located in the practice of medicine in Newton, where he remained two years, and yielding to to the entreaties of his numerous friends, he came then to Middleburg, where his well- known abilities as a physician soon gained him a large practice. His business increasing

beyond his abilities to give it proper at- tention, he invited his brother-in-law. Dr. D W. Sharp, to share it. He was induced by the demand for a drug store to open one here, in the spring of ISto, which at once commanded a good patronage, while at the same time he retains his large practice. Dr, Stones married Miss Mary Sharp, Sept. 1. 1823. She is the daughter of Joshua B. and Catharine ( Norviel), whose history appears un- der the sketch of Dr. D. W. Sharp, and was born April 20. 1850. They have one child, Estella, born July 9. Ist1. He is a member of Loder 241, A. & F. M. Much of the his- tory of this township is the result of Dr. Stokes research.
