PUTNAM COUNTY, OHIO.
Philip Schey's mother was Catherine C. Emer before her marriage, and Philip was one of nine children. His parents both died while he was a lad. When he came first to America he lost all trace of his relatives, and for more than forty years was unable to locate them. When past middle life he advertised in numerous newspapers, and as a consequence of this advertising. located an old school mate of his boyhood days. Through this old school- mate he found some of his brothers.
When he went back to Germany in his youth, he served in the German army, and while there learned considerable about veterinary practice. Upon his return to America, he also learned the trade of wagon-making, and, until he came to Putnam county, he practiced as a veterinary and also worked as a wagonmaker.
He moved to Putnam county in 1868, locating near where the old town of Medary once stood, in the north part of Liberty township. Here he pur- chased forty acres of land, on which was a log cabin. Very little of this land was cleared and almost all of it was too wet to produce anything. At that time, the family was poor, but Philip Schey was joined in the labors on the farm by his wife and eldest son. Mr. Schey himself worked for more for- tunate people who owned farms on the ridge. Ague, at that time, was a veritable plague on account of the swampiness of the soil. After the stave factory came to Putnam county and created a demand for timber, Mr. Schey sold some timber and thus acquired the means to drain his land. This gave him a start toward material success. He soon purchased another eighty acres, and his sons improved the land and made out of it a good farm.
There were eight children born to Philip, Sr., and Catherine (Bouch) Schey, six of whom are still living, Annie, the wife of J. T. Culver; Philip, Jr., who is referred to elsewhere in this volume; Mary, now deceased, was the wife of Samuel W. Gross; Peter, of Liberty township; John, of Liberty township; William A., deceased; Catherine M., the wife of William Heffner, and Caroline E., the wife of Frank Semler.
Philip Schey, Sr., died on November 17, 1879, while his widow survived him nearly twenty years, her death occurring in 1897. Both were earnest and active members of the Lutheran church, and took an active interest in its welfare.
Philip Schey, Sr., was a lover of all that was good and honest, a despiser of hypocrisy and shams of any sort. He was never able to obtain much edu- cation, but managed to acquire considerable information by home study and observation. He and his wife brought up a large family of children, whose lives prove that they were well reared and well trained in their youth. Alf

have their homes and are useful and honored members of the community, and all have an active part in the affairs of their respective townships, and for all of this, they are indebted to the good judgment and the loving kind- ness of their deceased parents, whom it is their delight to honor.
GEORGE W. KNELLER.
Young men who begin life with no pecuniary assistance and, who, with- out help, are able to get a good start while still young, surely are deserving of great credit. George W. Kneller is a young man who began life with no help from anyone and who has worked hard, lived frugally and saved. He now has a substantial competence, consisting of a well-improved farm in Liberty township.
George W. Kneller was born on May 18, 1872, in Fairfield county, Ohio, the son of Frederick and Mary (Walker) Kneller. Frederick Kneller was born in Wurttemburg, Germany, in 1840, and at the age of six years came to America with his parents, Gottfried Kneller and wife, who settled in Hocking county, Ohio, where Mary Walker was born.
Frederick Kneller has been a life-long farmer in Fairfield county. He now lives in Lancaster, Ohio.
George W. Kneller lived in Fairfield county until 1891, when he came- to Liberty township, Putnam county, and worked out as a farm hand. He was married on November 24, 1897, to Estella E. Krause, the daughter of Philip M. and Alenath (Bagley) Krause. She was born in Liberty town- ship, Putnam county. Philip M. Krause was born in Fairfield county and came to Putnam county with his parents, when a small boy. They located on the Medary farm, in the northwestern part of Liberty township, but later bought a farm upon which George W. Kneller now lives. Here, Mr. Krause grew up and married Alemath Bagley. She was born at Bluffton, Allen county, Ohio, and was the daughter of Joseph Bagley and wife. Mr. Krause farmed on the home farm in Liberty township, until 1910, when he moved to Findlay, Ohio, where he bought another farm'and resumed his occupation. George W. and Estella E. (Krause) Kneller have three chil- dren, Gladys Lorene, Orville Frederick and Willetta Grace.
After George W. Kneller's marriage, he bought the old Squire Krause farm, where he lives in section 9 of Liberty township. He started in this county with no money and worked for fifteen dollars a month. His farm he

bought on credit and he now has eighty-one and one-half acres. He erected a fine brick house in 1911 and has a splendid farm.
George W. Kneller is a Republican and takes an active interest in the councils of that party. He is a member of the local school board. He and his family belong to the Lutheran church and contribute of their means to the support of this denomination.
SAMUEL MYERS.
To make a success of farming, it is necessary to be something more than a hard worker. A farmer might labor from dawn to twilight, every day in the year, and yet fail to accomplish much. There must be sound judgment and discretion exercised at the same time, a knowledge of soil, grain, live stock, and, in fact, general business. The man who accomplishes much as a farmer in these days should be accorded a place along with the men who succeed in other walks of life, for often it requires more ingenuity and cour- age to be a farmer than anything else that claims the attention of men in the world of affairs. A brief review of the life of Samuel Myers, a well-known retired farmer of Perry township, Putnam county, Ohio, will suffice to show that he has achieved success in his life work because he has worked for it and partly because what he made has worked for him.
Samuel Myers was born on February 22, 1840, in Perry township, Put- nam county, Ohio. He is the son of Samuel, Sr., and Margaret (Hardin) Myers, the former of whom was born in Washington county, Maryland, on April 21, 1793, and the latter born in Licking county, Ohio, on May 8, 1816.
Samuel Myers, Sr., was the son of John and Mary (Dillon) Myers. John Myers was a native of Maryland, of German descent, and a wealthy farmer and landowner. He also owned a mill and distillery. His children were fourteen in number, six of whom are now living: John, Jacob, Mrs. Mira Shank, Mrs. Barbara Shank, Henry, Samuel, Sr., and Mrs. Anna Stauffer. Mary Dillon was a native of Pennsylvania and a member of the Mennonite church, dying at a ripe old age. John Myers was a stanch Demo- crat and an influential citizen in the community where he lived. Mrs. Mar- garet (Hardin) Myers was the daughter of Abraham and Catherine (Wish- art) Hardin, the former of whom was a son of William Hardin, who served seven years in the Continental army during the Revolutionary War and who died at the age of one hundred and four years. Abraham Hardin served

in the War of 1812, from Licking county, Ohio, under General Wayne. Mrs. Margaret Myers' grandfather Wishart was born in Scotland and set- tled in Bedford county, Pennsylvania, where he lived to be ninety-eight years old. Samuel Myers, Sr., and Margaret Hardin were married on Christmas day, 1832. They had ten children: Adelina, who married Joseph Boxwell; Mrs. Anna A. Ayers, of Columbus Grove; Samuel, Jr., the subject of this sketch; Jacob, who was wounded June 27, 1864, at Kenesaw Mountain and died on September 27, 1864, from the effects of the wound received at that time; Abraham, who died at Nashville, Tennessee, during the Civil War; Susannah, who married G. D. McClure, of Jackson township, Putnam county ; Margaret, deceased, who married Daniel Wilser, also deceased; David, who died in infancy; Huldah, deceased, who married Godfrey Guyer, of Leipsic, Ohio, and Malinda, deceased, who married Sam Price. The great-grand- father of these children, Dr. David Wishart, was a celebrated physician in the state of Pennsylvania."
Samuel Myers, Sr., was educated in the state of Maryland and came to Putnam county in 1829, where he purchased a tract of land in Greensburg township, on the Blanchard river. Here he built a house, and subsequently sent for his family, including his father, mother, three brothers and three sisters, Jacob, Joseph, John, Maria, Barbara and Fanny. Soon after their arrival two other brothers, Peter and Henry, came. Mrs. Margaret Myers was the first white woman married in Putnam county. Samuel Myers, Sr., built a dam for a saw-mill in 1834, and also a grist-mill, completing the latter in 1843. He operated the grist-mill for many years and performed a great deal of the labor himself. He took great pride in the construction of this mill, which was exceedingly well built of heavy hewed timber. It was a three- story mill with a hip roof. A patent was later given on this style of roof. The frame timbers were fourteen by thirteen inches, the first floor beams were twelve inches, the second floor ten inches and the third floor eight inches. The buckets for the mill were scrolled out by a millwright named Graves, and in later years a patent was issued to a man by the name of Ross for similar wheel buckets. The mill had undershot wheels. It was built in 1840, and was torn down in January, 1915. The timber was in an excellent state of preservation and was used in a barn in the neighborhood. The timber was cut in February, in the dark of the moon, as tests prior to this show that this timber lasts longer.
Samuel Myers, Sr., was not only an early pioneer, but a man of excellent business ability and of sound business principles. Besides farming, he could

do many other things. He was a stonernason, a carpenter, a blacksmith, a fuller in wool factories and was well acquainted with all of the intricacies of the lumber business. He died on August 27, 1860, at the age of sixty- seven years, and his wife died on May 16, 1901, at the age of eighty-five. Samuel Myers, Sr., was a man of broad views and was extremely public- spirited. He built three miles of plank road in Putnam county and contrib- uted one thousand dollars toward its construction. In politics, he was orig- inally a Whig and was honored at various times by election to local offices. He was one of the first county commissioners and was the first school ex- aminer. He was trustee for many years and built the first school house in the township. Religiously, he was an influential member of the Mennonite church and a liberal contributor to the church. To Samuel Myers, Sr., the people are greatly indebted for much of its early development.
Samuel Myers, Jr., was reared on his father's farm and educated in the old log schoolhouse in Perry township, near his home. He worked on the farm until he was twenty-two years of age and then became a boatman on the canal. During the summer he performed odd jobs in connection with his work as a boatman. He followed this vocation for about three years. In December, 1862, Mr. Myers purchased the farm of eighty acres in Paulding county, Ohio, and farmed there until February 1, 1864, when he enlisted in. Company G, Fifty-fourth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, as a private.s. This company was attached to the Second Brigade, Second Division, Fif- teenth Army Corps, under Sherman. Mr. Myers was in the army with Sher- man which marched from Atlanta to the sea. He assisted in the capture of Fort McAllister and took part in fourteen battles. In fact, he fought with Sherman until the close of the war. He was known for his courage, effi- ciency and valor. He was discharged at Little Rock, Arkansas, August 15, 1865. Among the battles in which Mr. Myers participated were those of Resaca, Dallas, Dalton, Buzzard's Roost, Nickajack Creek (where he was wounded in the hip by a shell), Big Kenesaw Mountain, Little Kenesaw Mountain, Atlanta, Jonesboro, Fort McAllister, Raleigh, North Carolina, and Columbus, South Carolina. He participated in the Grand Review at Washington, D. C., at the end of the war.
Having sold his eighty-acre farm before he went to the war, he re- turned to Paulding county, Ohio, and rented a tract of land for three years, later selling his lease, and then removed to his present farm of eighty-five acres, on June 6, 1866. He has added to this farm until, at one time, he owned more than three hundred and fifty acres. During late years, how- ever, he has sold most of it because of his failing health and age. Mr. Myers.

has fifty-five acres adjoining the thirty where he resides. He also has forty acres in section 28 of Perry township. Throughout his life, Mr. Myers has followed general farming. He was active until 1888, when he was injured in a railroad wreck at Anthony, Ohio, near Springfield.
Samuel Myers has also followed road contracting and has built many roads in Putnam county. He owned a stone-crusher at one time, but sold it to John Blosser, of Cloverdale, Ohio. He has also been engaged in the tim- ber business, more or less, since 1866.
Samuel Myers, Jr., was married on April 14, 1862, to Mary Elizabeth Mercer, who was born at Cuyhoga Falls, near Cleveland, Ohio, on August I, 1842, the daughter of Steven and Catherine (Dillworth) Mercer. Mr. Myers got his license from the probate judge of Paulding county, Ohio, and was married by the justice of the peace, J. R. Cushman.
Samuel and Mary Elizabeth (Mercer) Myers have had three children: Abraham H., who was born on November 19, 1863, died on March 20, 1899 ;. Margaret Catherine, born August 22, 1866, married George Curtis, a farmer of Washington township, Paulding county, and has seven children, Mrs. Julia Mccullough, Samuel, John, Bertha, Mary, Merle and William Bryan; Susan, May 24, 1868. who married Andrew J. Ladd, a farmer of Brown township, Paulding county, Ohio, and had four children by this marriage, Flossie and Florence, twins, and Henry and Samuel. Florence is deceased. Susan had previously married Clyde Hamilton, who died, and to this union there were born two children, George, deceased, and Mrs. Malinda Bright. Abraham, the eldest child, who died in 1899, was married to Sarah E. Combs and had four children, Walter, Bertha, William J. and Abram.
Mrs. Samuel Myers, as heretofore noted, is the daughter of Steven and Catherine (Dillworth) Mercer, the former of whom settled in Williams county, Ohio. He was the son of John Mercer, also a native of Pennsyl- vania. From Williams county, Ohio, Steven Mercer came to Cuyahoga county, Ohio, where he was married. After living here for a time, they moved to Providence, Henry county, Ohio, across from Grand Rapids, Ohio, on the Maumee river, where he lived until his death in 1850. He was a stone mason by trade and followed this trade all of his life, although he was reared on a farm. His wife is still living with her son, Abraham, in Michigan. She is a cousin of William McKinley and is now eighty-seven years of age. Steven and Catherine Mercer had four children: Mary E., the wife of Mr. Myers; Francis, who was killed in the army; Thomas, who lives at Alverton, Williams county, Ohio, and Isaac, who died on December 25, 1913. After the death of Steven Mercer, his wife was married again to William Richardson, and

to this union were born two children: Abraham, who lives in Michigan, and Mrs. Victorine Menervia Jane Whittner, of Cleveland, Ohio.
Samuel Myers is a man of congenial temperament, is frank in his man- ners and is well informed regarding all current, political and economic issues. He is a man of unquestioned honesty and his word has never been doubted. Mr. Myers has seen many changes in the county and township where he lives and has undergone many hardships during his life. He has seen much hap- piness and much sorrow. He is a man widely known throughout Putnam county as one of the pioneer citizens, and no history of Putnam county would be complete that did not make specific mention of his life and his work. He has been a Republican in politics and has served in various minor offices, in- cluding that of township trustee. During the time when the national Grange flourished in Putnam county he was prominent in the work of that organiza- tion. He is also a member of Weiser Post No. 63, Grand Army of the Re- public.
MATTHIAS SCHROEDER.
The Schroeder family located in Putnam county, Ohio, in 1834, a year or so after the first German settlers came to this county. At that time the whole county was a heavily-timbered swamp, and many years were to elapse before much of this was under cultivation. Matthias Schroeder bought his present farm more than a quarter of a century ago, and has gradually improved it until he has a well-cultivated farm which yields a comfortable living for his family. He is an energetic and enterprising farmer, and while he has devoted himself primarily to his own interests, yet he has not neglected to take his share in the life of the community about him.
Matthias Schroeder, the son of Henry and Catherine (Hohenbrink) Schroeder, was born on January 23, 1856, in Greensburg township, Putnam county, Ohio. His father was born in Glandorf, Germany, in 1821, and his wife was born in the same place.
Henry Schroeder came to America at the age of thirteen, with his par- ents, Nicholas and Anna (Trame) Schroeder, and located in Greensburg township. There were very few settlers in the county at that time, the German emigration to this county having commenced only two or three years before this time. Henry Schroeder grew to manhood in Putnam county and married Catherine Hohenbrink, who was about twenty years of age when she came from Germany to Putnam county, with her parents, William

PUTNAM COUNTY, OHIO.
Hohenbrink and wife. Her parents settled in Glandorf, in this county, and later, bought land in Pleasant township, where they lived the remainder of their lives. Henry Schroeder and his wife lived and died in Greensburg township, and there reared a family of thirteen children, five of whom are deceased. The deceased children are as follow: Wilhelmina, who died at the age of nine; Clara, who died at the age of eighteen; Mary, who died in 1906, leaving her husband, Joseph Dreling, with nine children; Dorothy, who died about the year 1903, leaving her husband, August Jostpill, with six children; and Ignatius, who died in 1904, as the result of a fall from a tree, leaving his wife and five children. The living children are John, Will- iam, Charles, Matthias, Frank, Mrs. Anna Duling, Mrs. Theresa Alker and Mrs. Catherine Stechschulte.
Matthias Schroeder was reared on his father's farm and received such education as was afforded by the district schools of his township. After his marriage, in 1883, Mr. Schroeder lived in Greensburg township until 1889, and then bought his present farm of one hundred and twenty acres in Liberty township, two miles north of West Leipsic. The farm was not very much improved when he bought it, but under his good management it is one of the most productive pieces of land in the township. He placed the comfortable home, in which he is now living with his family, on the farm, built a large barn and otherwise improved the place. As he prospered from year to year, was able to make extensive improvements and also add another forty acres to his original purchase.
Matthias Schroeder was married on May 3, 1882, to Mary Ellerbrock, who was born at Glandorf, in this county, on November 17, 1860, and is a daughter of William and Marianna (Udendorf) Ellerbrock. The history of Mrs. Schroeder's father's family is given elsewhere in this volume. Matthias and Mary (Ellerbrock) Schroeder are the parents of ten children, all of whom are still living: Adeline, born on March 27, 1883; Philomena, March 5, 1885; Elizabeth, April 6, 1887; Harry, June 26, 1889; Frances, May 3, 1891; Emma, May 21, 1893; Cornelia and Julius, twins, on February 26, 1896; Vincent, May 24, 1900, and Helen, July 6, 1902. Adeline is the wife of Frank Niese, a farmer of Liberty township, and has four children, three of whom are living, Vincent, Norbert and Frances; Philomena is a nun in the Franciscan convent at Tiffin, Ohio; Elizabeth is the wife of Lawrence Niese, a farmer of Palmer township, and has two children, Waldo and Mary; Harry is a farmer of Liberty township and married Mary Kohls; Frances married Howard Niese, a farmer of this township and has one son, Matthias; Emma married Fred Kaufman, a farmer of this county and has

one son, Albert. The rest of the children are still single and living with their parents.
The family are all loyal members of the Catholic church. Matthias Schroeder is a Democrat, and although he has never been an aspirant for public office, he takes an intelligent interest in the political affairs of his party. He is a man of industry and integrity and has so lived as to commend him- self to all those with whom he has been associated.
LUDWIG STUBER.
The whole career of Ludwig Stuber has been spent in Putnam county, Ohio, where he was born more than half a century ago. His parents were of German ancestry, his father coming direct from Germany to Putnam county, Ohio, in 1855. Mr. Stuber has been a life-long farmer and started in a very humble way, after his marriage, and year after year has seen him more prosperous, and his present farm of two hundred and twenty-six acres is abundant proof that he has not labored in vain. He has been progressive in his methods, and by unceasing industry has asquired a very comfortable competence for himself and family.
Ludwig Stuber, the son of Christian and Catherine (Kleopfer) Stuber, was born in Palmer township, Putnam county, Ohio, in 1864. His father was born in Wurttemberg, Germany, and married a Miss Fritz, in his native land. He came to America in 1855 and located in Putnam county, where he bought eighty acres, and there his first wife died, leaving one son, Christian Stuber, Jr. Christian Stuber moved to Crawford county, Ohio, about 1856 or 1857, and shortly afterward to Seneca county, this state, where he married Catherine Kleopfer, who was born in Oberholm, Wurttemberg, Germany, and came to America with two brothers and one sister, settling in Seneca and Paulding counties, Ohio. Christian Stuber moved back to Palmer township, in this county, in 1857, and lived there the remainder of his life, dying on April 22, 1907. At the time of his death he owned four hundred and fifty acres of land. His widow survived him until September 19, 1913.
Ludwig Stuber is one of four sons and two daughters born to his father's second marriage. The other children are: Mary, Lida, Daniel, John and Henry. Ludwig grew to maturity on his father's farm in Palmer township, and after his marriage, in 1890, he moved to his present home in the southwestern part of section I, of Liberty township. About forty acres of the farm were cleared and partly tiled, but a large part of it was still cov-
1079

ered with primitive forest. He cleared and drained the land and, in 1897, put up a good barn with slate roof. Since that time, he has built many other good buildings and. now owns one hundred and ninety-six acres of land, where he lives, and thirty acres along the Nickel Plate railroad on the west side of Liberty township. He is a genial farmer, dividing his time and at- tention between stock and grain raising, so as to get the best results from his efforts.
Ludwig Stuber was married on August 10, 1890, to Ella Gottmeier, who was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, and is a daughter of Fred and Sarah (Schweitzer ) Gottmeier, and to this union eight children have beeen born, five of whom are living: Alvin, on May 30, 1894; Homer, December 25, 1895; Ruth, September 16, 1897; Winifred, March 14, 1900, and Helen, December 26, 1903. The three children deceased are as follows: Lillie, who died at the age of two; John, who died at the age of two weeks, and Mabel, who died on October 3, 1908, at the age of fifteen years and six months.
Frederick Gottmeier, the father of Mrs. Stuber, was born on January 14, 184I, in Baden, Germany, a son of Philip Gottmeier and his first wife. Frederick was a babe in arms when his mother died, and his father later married Christina Seyfried, and came to America in 1844. He spent the first year at Easton, Pennsylvania, and then located at Lancaster, Fairfield county, where he lived until Frederick grew up and married. Frederick Gottmeier was married a few months before he was twenty-one, to Elizabeth Dimple, who died six years later, leaving two daughters, Louise and Eliza- beth. A son, John, died before his mother. Louise is the wife of Jacob Kratzer, of Liberty township, and has eight children; Elizabeth married Aaron Charles, of Liberty township, and has three children living and one deceased. On June 10, 1869, Mr. Gottmeier married Sarah Schweitzer, who was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, December 28, 1852, a daughter of Michael and Rose (Wolflinger) Schweitzer, both natives of Switzerland, who lived and died near Lancaster, Ohio. Frederick Gottmeier and wife moved to Putnam county and settled in Liberty township in 1871, where he bought a farm and lived until about 1895. He then retired and bought a home at Leipsic Junction, and died on May 24, 1915. Five children have been born to Frederick Gottmeier by his second marriage: Mrs. Ella Stuber, Mrs. Rebecca Mack, Samuel, Mrs. Emma Miller and Mrs. Myrtle Compton. Mrs. Stuber was a year old when her parents located in Liberty township, in this county, and here she has since resided.
