he was obliged to retire from the fight. He was sent to the corps hospital, and transferred to Pittsburgh, then to Philadelphia and lastly to Newark, N. J., and put into the Invalid Corps, afterward sent to New York, where the duty consisted in guarding the deserters and prisoners of war. He was mustered out of service on the 29th of June, 1864. The month previous, May 21, he married Miss Harriett E. Gage, who was born in Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 28, 1843. Coming baek to Ohio, soon after his discharge from the service, he went to Jones Co., Iowa ; has been there and back several times in periods of five or six years at a time, but finally settled down permanently in this township in 1871. He has the reputation of being a fearless soldier and faithful in the dis- charge of his duties as such, obeying every order with alaerity, unmindful of the dangers he might encounter.

SOLOMON F. DIMOCK, farmer; P. O. Spencer ; was the son of a elergyman, and the sixth ehild of a family of twelve members. He was born in what was then known as the county of Montrose, Penn., Feb. 6, 1816, moving with his father's family to this eounty in 1834. He afterward settled in Speneer Township, where he now resides. He was married Nov. 7, 1839, to Miss Cynthia Warner, who was born April 16, 1821, in Genesee Co., N. Y. She was the daughter of William Warner, of Montville Township, and a sister of Dr. Henry Warner (deceased), whose biography will be found in the medieal department of this work. Mr. Dimoek, buying the land where he now lives with only fifteen or twenty aeres of slashing that might be ealled improvements, has made a fine farm of 100 acres as a home- stead, although owning, at times, other pieces of real estate. The present improvements, eon- sisting of a substantial farmhouse, barns, ete., attest the energy and industry of its occupant. For many days has he taken his ax and walked three miles to work for 50 cents per day, and board himself. The father of the above-named gentleman, Rev. S. Dimock, was a native of the Green Mountain State, and was born in Ben- nington, Sept. 22, 1780. He was married in 1804, to Miss Clarissa Phelps, of Pownel, Vt. She was born April 16, 1788. They moved, in 1813, to the State of Pennsylvania. He was licensed to preach the next year, and was or- dained as a elergyman of the Methodist Epis-

copal Church, in 1818. They again moved, this time to Allegany Co., N. Y., in 1828 ; and, after laboring in the Master's vineyard in different localities there, they came to Sharon, Mediua Co., in the year 1834. Here he preached the Word, the Truth and the Life, uutil, worn out, his age and infirmities began to tell upon him, when he selected a home with his youngest daughter in Olmsted, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio, where he calmly gave up this life, spent in doing good to his fellowmen. Hc died Aug. 8, 1873, at the good old age of 93 ; his wife, Clarissa, died at the same place, April 18, 1877. Their chil- dren were Sally P., Theoda B., Horace N., Will- iam P., John P., Solomon F., Clarissa H., Sally P. (2d), Davis H., Laurenia G., Mary J. and Au- gusta M. William Davis Dimock, only child of the subject of this sketch, was born in Sharon, this county, Dec. 26, 1840, and was married July 4, 1864, to Miss Helen L. Hol- land. She was born in Huntington, Lorain Co., July 24, 1840. Her parents were Abram and Mary A. Holland, and were from the State of Massachusetts. They have one child, named Bertha A., born Aug. 9, 1873, and an adopted son, Hally F., born in Wooster, Wayne Co., Ohio, Feb. 16, 1864. His father, Henry D. Warner, is a cousin of Mr. Dimock. W. D. Dimock is one of the rising young farmers of this township, owning and managing a large farm, and is respected by the people of the community for his integrity and moral worth.

ALFRED D. DONARD, farmer ; P. O. Spen- cer : is a well-to-do and prominent citizen of this township, and was born April 18, 1843, in Schuylkill Co., Penn. He came to this State Nov. 18, 1859, and was married in Spencer March 21, 1867, to Miss Mercy J. Driskell, who was born in this county and township Sept. 6, 1848. Their children are Mertie M., born July 6, 1868 ; Hattie F., Oct. 29, 1870 ; Alice L., April 6, 1873 ; Hugh E., Aug. 8, 1875 : Lou Gertrude, May 21, 1879. Mr. Donard has a fine farm of 225 acres that constitutes his home- stead, and another farm of 130 acres, three- quarters of a mile east, all valuable land, and under the best of cultivation. There are two good houses and barns upon the home lot, which he has built, besides other improvements, such as belong to a well-ordered farm of the American type. His business, conducted upon a systematic, liberal plan, cannot be other than

remunerative, as industry and economy will bring their own reward.

REUBEN FALCONER, farmer ; P. O. Spen- cer ; his father, a gentleman of English de- scent, whose given name was Henry, was born in 1763, and died in 1836. The moth- er's maiden name was Fannie Thockmorton, of French extraction, was born in 1774, died in 1827. The record of their mar- riage is not available, and we omit the date. They had ten children-Samuel A., Esther, William, Keziah, Abraham, Daniel, Francis, Beliuda, Gilbert D. and Reuben ; all dead except the latter and Belinda. Reuben was born May 9, 1818, in Wadsworth, Medina Co., Ohio, and wedded Oct. 1, 1840, Mrs. Lucinda May Booth, who was born in Leroy, Gencsee Co., N. Y. Nov. 25, 1814. The children by this marriage were Reuben Henry, born Oct. 27, 1841; Fanny L., July 26, 1843, died Feb. 16, 1855 ; Lucinda M., Aug. 14, 1845 (now Mrs. George W. Gallatin) ; Archalaus R., Sept. 21, 1847 ; Amandus D., Sept. 27, 1849 ; Roswell G., April 5, 1852 ; John E., Feb. 10, 1855. Names of the children of Mrs. F. by first marriage with Daniel Booth were Laura G. and Lebues Lu- man. Mr. F. came to Spencer Township in 1828, taking up 50 acres in the southeast part of the township. Afterward removing to his present location one-half mile north of River Corners, on an unimproved place, cleared it up himself and made the improvements now to be scen upon the premises. And now, in the de- cline of life, he can enjoy the fruits of his early labors and self-denial. His life, the repetition of the struggles and hardships of hundreds of others who begin life in the forest, and, persever- ing, surmount all impediments, and succeed by force of will and energy. He has a good farm of 100 acres, which, although of forbidding na- ture at first, has been made prolific by applying the modern methods of farming. Good books are his delight, and his mind is stored with val- uable treasures of information. Enlisting under the first call of President Lincoln, for three months in the 8th O. V. I., Company K, com- manded by Capt. Pierce ; his regiment mus- tered in at Cleveland, April 27, 1861, and were sent to Camp Dennison, and mustered out Aug. 18, 1861, without Mr. F. secing much service, except the ordinary routine of drill, guard and camp duty. His eldest son, Reuben H., enlisted in Capt. Williams' Company B, of the 42d O.

V. I. (President-elect J. A. Garfield's old regi- ment), serving as drummer until promoted to the position of Drum Major, which he held to the close of the war. The company were mus- tered in Sept. 22, 1861, and were mustered out at Camp Chase, Ohio, Sept. 30, 1864.

RICHARD FREEMAN, farmer ; P. O. Spen- cer. He was born in December, 1837, and is one of the go-ahead, active farmers of this part of Medina Co., enterprising and fully up to the times. He married Miss Mary C. Aldrich, a lady of refinement and culture, by whom he has two children-James W. and Minnie M. He is located upon a good farm, with permanent im- provements and well-settled neighborhood, and has a host of friends throughout the township, which speaks well for his uniform kindness and conduct to all. His parents, James and Eliza- beth (Gull) Freemau, were born in Lincolnshire, England, and came to this State in 1837, set- tling in Akron, Summit Co., but moved to Spen- cer Township, this county, in the year 1842. Richard Freeman left this county in 1858, go- ing to Iowa, where he remained until the firing upon Ft. Sumter, when he enlisted in the 12th I. V. I., Company K. They went to Camp Benton, Mo., remaining there about two mouths ; drilling, guard and routine duties comprising the labor of those days, but fitting them for the more serious work of the near future- - for they were soon sent to take part in the bat- tles and victories of Fts. Henry and Donel- son. That they performed their allotted tasks faithfully, winning the plaudits of the nation, for the first victories, we well know, bearing their part in those actions with the undaunted bravery which characterized the Western sol- diers. In the next battle, that of Shiloh, Mr. Freeman was taken prisoner, April 6, 1862, and was paroled and exchanged Oct. 16, 1862. After rejoining his regiment, he participated in the battles of Raymond, Champion Hills, etc., and was at the surrender of Vicksburg, also the second battle of Jackson; he was with the disastrous Red River expedition, under Gen. Banks, comprising the battles of Pleasant Hill, Peach Orchard Grove, and Sabine Cross Roads. Among the other engagements were those of Iuka and Franklin, near Nashville, where the rebel army, under Gen. Hood, met a terrible de- feat, and were driven out of Tennessee. He also participated in the pursuit of Gen. Price across the State of Missouri, for hundreds of

miles, our army suffering greatly by reason of forced marches and privations. Serving out his time of enlistment, he returned north and set- tled upon the farm where he now resides.

ALVIN W. GANNETT, farmer ; P. O. Spen- cer ; was born June 8, 1824, in Genesee Co., N. Y., and was married Oct. 1, 1846, to Miss Mary Stuart. She was born April 11, 1821, in Cort- land Co., N. Y. The names of their children are-Frauk A., boru Nov. 16, 1847 ; Sarah M., May 17, 1849 ; Martha D., Aug. 20, 1850 (now Mrs. Henry Franks) ; Worthy H., April 24, 1856; Warner A., May 26, 1858, he died March 30, 1862 ; Willie A., May 26, 1860. The father of the subject of this sketch, Joseph Gannett, was born June, 1774, and was a native of the Old Bay State, his occupation being the oldest known to man, viz., farming. He married Miss Martha Stone, who was boru in March, 1783, in the State of Massachusetts. They moved with their family to this State in the year 1835. Mr. Gannett died in this county in 1846. They had the following children-Aleek, Ruth, Olive, Jo- seph, Hannah, Alvin W. and Mary J ; there are four now living-Olive, Joseph, Hannah and Alvin W. Mr. Gannett says their present fine farm was a perfect wilderness when he and his father moved upon it. Together they felled the forest and subdued the land for their chosen occupation, and in commou with others felt the privations of pioneer life. Theirs was the first frame house between the centers, and for a long time they were nearly alone. He has seen farm after farm gradually brought uuder cultivation, until now a laudscape spreads out to the view, of well-cultivated fields dotted in all directions by homes of friends and neighbors. The farm, consisting of 150 aeres of high, rolling, easily drained land, lies ou both sides of the north-and- south road, is well fenced, has a good, commo- dious farm dwelling and convenient barns. Mrs. Mary (Stuart) Gannett had two brothers in the Union army who served their country faithfully during the war, in the 23d O. V. I., President Hayes' old regiment. Elijah R. was twice wounded, and once had the misfortune to be taken prisoner of war, aud confined at Danville, Va.

JOSEPH GIAR, farmer ; P. O. Spencer. The father of our subject, Henry Giar, was born in Westmoreland Co., Penn., in June, 1787 ; was by occupation a farmer, and married, in 1814, to Elizabeth Bender, who was born in

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES:

1797, and whose father, Jacob Bender, served throughout the time " that tried men's souls" -- the Revolutionary war. The names of the children by this marriage were Mary, Joseph (the subject), Samuel, John, Elizabeth, Francis, Henry W. and James J .- all living at the date of this writing. Joseph was born in what is now called Carroll Co., Ohio, May 31, 1817, and came to this county April 14, 1834. He was married Nov. 1, 1840, to Relepha Tanner, born in Wayne Co., Ohio, September, 1818. Celia Lovina was the only child, who was born Feb. 11, 1843, and dicd June 27, 1850. Mrs. Giar departed this life Aug. 9, 1843. Mr. Giar was married again, May 22, 1845, to Miss Almira A. Turner, who was boru June 23, 1827, in Orleans Co., Vt. The names of the children by the second marriage were-Emma M., Net- tie R., Williard S., Levi W. and John H. Mr. G. came to Spencer Township at a time when there was but very little improvement in the south part of the town, helping to chop and clear of timber twenty-six miles of road, and, taking the farm where he now resides, which was a solid block of forest, has chopped and cleared, in the vicinity, 206 acres of beech and maple woods. In those early days a source of revenue was derived from the ashes of burned log heaps, by making what was called black salts, from which pearl-ash was made. After making enough for a load, he would haul it with an ox team to Litchfield to find a market. He has seen the wilderness blossom as the rose, and the primeval forest disappear before the sturdy blows of the ax in the hands of the daring, progressive pioneer. We can have but a faint conception to-day of the difficulties our fathers had to contend with; we hear the reci- tal from aged lips of the hardships and priva- tions of those early days, but, surrounded with our present civilization, cannot realize what our progenitors endured while erecting a home in the wilderness. Friend Giar made a division of his property a short time ago, bequeathing to each of his five children forty acres, retain- ing the buildings with nine acres of land, but has since bought back from one of the heirs the portion allowed, for $1,000, which leaves him a homestead proper of about 50 acres.

M. H. HUFFMAN, farmer ; P. O. Spencer ; His father was Jacob Huffman, born in Wash- ington Co., Penn., in 1804, and married Elizabeth Protsman, in Wayne Co., Ohio, in 1826. The

children were David H., Malachi H., Mary E., Melinda, John E., Jacob, George F. and Eliza- beth L .; but five living at this date. Malachi H. was born on the 24th of August, 1830, in Chippewa Township, Wayne Co., Ohio ; married June 6, 1858, to Miss Ann J. Rice, born in the same county, April 12, 1840. The children of this union were Horace Porter (dead), Charles T. (dead), Ada R., Fraucis M. (dead), Redella M., Eugene H. (dead), and Lilla B. Mr. Huff- man came to Spencer Towuship in 1862, and, buying the farm of 106 acres where he now resides, has made a beautiful home by building a large, well-arranged and convenient house, warmed by a furnace, and supplied with other modern improvements, a good-sized library of valuable books, as well as other articles which evidence taste and refinement. His home is noted for its boundless hospitality and solid comfort, while a cheerful, smiling hostess dispenses the bounties of a well-filled table ; an interesting, intelligent family of children, make up the sum of happiness to be found in this well-ordered household. In 1853, Mr. Huff- man journeyed to Iowa, where he remained for several months, coming back to Ohio only to return in the spring of 1855, traveling on foot over a large part of the State, with the object of exploration and adventure. While there he bought a tract of land near Fort Dodge, after- ward sold for lands in Medina Couuty. He was a volunteer to repel a threatened Indian attack upon the frontier settlements of Western Iowa. The farm he now owns there is located four miles west of Des Moines. Mr. H., like many others, finally returned to his first love, Ohio, to settle down permanently in the every- day, uneventful life of a farmer, and he may well have a pardonable pride in his home and its surroundings. He has been President, for several years, of the Union District Fair, of West Salem, composed of members from the three counties of Ashland, Wayne and Medina.

SILAS KITCHEN, farmer ; P. O. Spencer. Father Moscs Kitchen was born in 1778, in Northampton Co., Penn. His occupation was that of tanner. He was married to Ann M. Andrews, of the same State. Their children were in the following order of birth : Elizabeth, Hanuah, Jacob, Thomas, Christean, Susan, Eve, Silas (the subject of this biography), Jeremiah and Simon Peter-only three now living. Mr. K. came to the State of Ohio in the fall of

761

SPENCER TOWNSHIP.

1818, stopping in Jackson Township, Wayne Co. then, but now known as Ashland Co. He died March 18, 1848. Silas was born May 5, 1819, in what is now Ashland Co., Ohio, and married Elizabeth Dickason, who also was born in Ashland Co., April 29, 1826. They moved in the spring of 1854 to this county. Ann M., James W., Sarah L., Zachariah H., Willard (dead), Elmer Ellsworth and Jeremiah, are the names of this interesting family. Mr. Kitchen has made the extensive improvements now seen on the homestead ; has a large farm (380 acres), making additions from time to time to the original 100 acres of the old farm. The house, a large, substantial frame structure, gives promise of the comfort and contentment within. The grounds, adorned with shade trees, and the well-kept surroundings, show the handi- work of the intelligent, go-ahead American farmer. The well-stored book-case shows that Mr. K. intends to keep posted in all that per- tains to advancement and literaturc, and he needs these helps, for a family of school-teaeh- ers have grown up around the hearthstone, and these books have played an important part by affording them general information so necessary to a suceessful teacher. An obliging neighbor, a friend in time of nccd, and a well-spent life, characterizes his record, an example that will live in the memories of children and friends long after he has passed away.

ALONZO H. MILLER, farmer ; P. O. Chat- ham. Samuel Miller, the father of the gentle- man whose name appears above, was born A. D. Dec. 2, 1821, and married March 26, 1837, to Miss Susanna Rice, who was born in Wayne Co., Ohio, Nov. 11, 1815 ; his occupation was that of cabinet-maker, learning his trade in Massillon, Ohio ; he died Nov. 27, 1850. The children were Edwin R., born Feb. 15, 1838 ; Orlando died when a child ; Alonzo H., May 31, 1841 ; Emma E., July 2, 1843 ; Charles E., Dec. 30, 1845, and George W., Nov. 11, 1848 ; all born in Stark Co., this State. Alonzo wedded Rachel A. Inman, March 26, 1867. (Her father, John Inman, was born in the State of New York, Aug. 5, 1822 ; he died Aug. 29, 1877 ; he was one of the earliest settlers of this township ; her mother, Polly E. Graves, born July 26, 1827, and died July 18, 1862.) There were seven children, Frank I., born Jan. 8, 1868 ; Lecta E., Nov. 5, 1869 ; Clyde, Oct. 6, 1871 (dead) ; Lillian, Feb. 23, 1873, died March

20, 1873 ; John H., Sept. 11, 1874 ; Charles, July 11, 1877 ; Raehcl A., Dce. 4, 1880. Mr. Miller met with the greatest misfortune that can fall to the lot of man, by losing the part- ner of his joys and sorrows, the mother of his children, who died Dec. 4, 1880 ; she was an estimable lady, and loving wife and mother. Upon the breaking-out of the war, Mr. Miller, impelled by patriotie ardor, enlisted in the 42d O. V. I., Company B, mustered in Sept. 22, 1861, and served three years and eight days. The regiment rendezvoused at Camp Chase, Col- umbus, Ohio, and were sent from there to East- crn Kentucky. The first battle in which he engaged was that of Middle Creek, Ky., mareh- ing from there to Cumberland Gap, where they had a number of lively skirmishes about that part of the State ; were withdrawn from Cum- berland Gap to Jackson, Ohio, and marched from there to Charleston, W. Va., the enemy re- treating, thence baek to Gallipolis, taking a steamer to Memphis, Tenn. The next engage- ments in which the regiment took an active part were Chickasaw Bluffs and Arkansas Post. From there to Young's Point, where they worked on the canal, intended to change the channel of the Mississippi, but the father of waters was too much for engineering skill, and the forces engaged were defeated in the at- tempt. He was with the expedition to obtain cotton bales for the purpose of protecting the men and boats preparing to run the batteries of Vicksburg. As the country was inundated, it was not so difficult to obtain it by poling flat-boats aeross the plantations wherever eot- ton could be found, but not so easy to return against the current. The succeeding aetion was that of Thompson's Hill, in the rear of Grand Gulf, followed by that of Champion Hills, near Vicksburg ; he was in two desperate charges upon that besieged city ; also the fight at Black River and Jackson (the second battle of that name). The regiment were then sent to New Orleans, thenee to Opelousas, West Louisiana, and back to Plaquemine, where the majority of the regiment, tired of "tramp, tramp, the boys are marching," offered to veteranize as cavalry, but were refused the boon, and marched to Baton Rouge, near which plaee they had a skirmish, the last fight in which Mr. Miller was destined to be engaged. He was placed upon detached service soon after, under Adjt. Gen. Thomas ; serving his country

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES:

long and well, true to the old flag, conscious of having performed his duty as a citizen and a man, he was finally mustered out at Camp Chase, Ohio, Sept. 30, 1864. In civil life, he has the respect and confidence of his neighbors, who have several times elected him to the of- fice of Township Trustee and Justice of the Peace.

JOHN ORISON MARSH, farmer; P. O. Spencer. The father of Mr. Marsh, Jolin P. Marsh, is known as the first settler in this township, coming in the spring of 1823, buying 104 acres of land of Simon Parkman, two miles and a half east and north of the village of Spencer, by road. The person named at the head of this article was then 9 years old ; born Jan. 2, 1814, in Smithville, N. Y .; he married Hannah Inman in the year 1839. Their chil- dren were named as follows : Maria, Elizabeth, Samuel P. and John A. His wife died Jan. 12, 1867. July 12, 1868, he married Miss Mar- tha Murray, sister of Squire John C. Murray, of Spencer. Samuel P. Marsh, a brother of John O., was the first white child born in this town- ship, A. D. March 25, 1826 ; he is now a resi- dent of Oregon, doing well and amassing con- siderable property. John O., taking the gold fever in 1849, started that year for the land of promise, crossing the plains in wagons, until they reached Humboldt, where they took to sad- dles and pack-mules for the rest of the journey. After mining and prospecting two years, he started to return via Panama, but for some reason the vessel got out of its latitude, was be- calmed for over sixty days, and the passengers and crew were put on short allowance of food and water, for that time suffering greatly, but were finally relieved after being out of sight of land ninety-four days. This trip and journey, with its scenes of excitement, danger and suf- fering, identifies Mr. Marsh with the celebrated "49-ers" of that era. The writer was shown, as a relic of early days, by Mr. Marsh, the family clock, which he has had in his family for forty years, and which cost $40. It was made at Bristol, Conn., and has needed but trifling re- pairs, and is still running, keeping good time.

V. W. PARENT, farmer ; P. O. Spencer ; was born in Ontario Co., N. Y., Jan. 9, 1819, and married, June 23, 1842, Miss Lucy A. Baldwin, who was born Aug. 21, 1821; their children were William, born July 18, 1843. died Dec. 29, 1844; Paulina, now Mrs. H. J.

Foster, born Sept. 18, 1844; Julia and Julius (twins), born Sept. 9, 1847 ; Julius died Dec. 28, 1847 ; Edgar, born Sept. 18, 1849 ; Isabel, now Mrs. J. W. Ross, born Nov. 11, 1851; Alonzo, born April 9, 1855, died Feb. 2, 1874 ; Cora, now Mrs. Roswell G. Falconer, born Aug. 2, 1858. Mrs. Lucy A. Parent died Nov. 28, 1862 ; Mr. Parent married again, Feb. 9, 1863, Mrs. Julia A. Rounds, of Hampden Co., Mass .; she was born March 12, 1820. V. W. was the fourth child of William and Lois (Robbins) Parent. His father was born in New Jersey May 5, 1775, and died Jan. 21, 1873, aged 98 ; his mother was born Nov. 28, 1790 ; she died Jan. 13, 1878, aged 86 years. The names of his brothers and sisters, in order of their birth, are as follows : Calista, born June 13, 1810 ; Roxana, born Aug. 27, 1811 ; Ben- jamin, born May 3, 1813 ; V. W., born Jan. 9, 1819 ; Lois, born Oct. 11, 1820 ; William W., born Jan. 19, 1822 ; Hezekiah, born April 29, 1823 ; Margaret, born Sept. 19, 1825 ; Abigail, born Nov. 27, 1827 ; Elmina, born Aug. 12, 1829 ; Lucy, born June 21, 1839. Mr. Parent came to this county in 1837, a boy of 18, and, in the past forty-three years, has seen many and important changes occur in Spencer Township. Fruitful fields and happy homes have taken the place of the wild woods and bark wigwams, the home of the savage. In place of the tor- tnous trail, winding in and out among the trees and stumps, are broad highways with good bridges over the streams they were wont to ford. He is a well-to-do farmer ; has over 200 acres of good land ; keeps a large herd of stock, and is rugged and hearty for a man of his age, but would now hardly enjoy the pio- neer life of forty years ago. He had two brothers who lost their lives in the army dur- ing the great rebellion-William W. enlisted in the 67th O. V. I., Co. F, Capt. E. Woodford, and participated in the battles of Winchester, Mt. Jackson, Edinburg, Harrison's Landing, Va., and Morris Island, Ft. Wagner, and the siege of the same, in South Carolina, Chester Station, Drury's Bluffs and the Cross Roads, Va., also at Richmond and Petersburg.
