AUGUST REDD.
Well situated on the Ottawa road in Pleasant township, Putnam county, there is a farm, which, by reason of the well-kept appointment and the general air of quiet prosperity which characterize it, not infrequently excites the ad- miring remarks of the casual passerby. There is something about the appear- ance of most of the farms and farm houses in this favored section of the state, that strangers, passing through, are wont to comment on most favorably, as- indicative of quiet thrift and modest gentility. Among the farms thus. marked, there are few in the section in which it is located that is better known than that of August Redd, a brief biography of whom the historian finds pleasure in here calling to the attention of the reader of this sketch.
August Redd was born in Blanchard township, Putnam county, Ohio, on March 8, 1860, the son of John and Eliza (Devinney) Redd, the former of
I353

whom was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, on May 31, 1815, and the latter of whom was born in the same county on April 12, 1824.
John Redd grew up in Fairfield county, experiencing all the difficulties of the pioneer life of that time, and on October II, 1840, was united in mar- riage to Eliza Devinney, the daughter of John and Ann (Umwake) Devinney, the former of whom was born on August 15, 1792, and the latter of whom was born on August 15, 1802. John Devinney died on June 12, 1842, and his widow was married, a second time, in 1846, to August Koch and died, November 11, 1881.
Following their marriage, John and Eliza Redd came from Fairfield county to Putnam county, settling in Ottawa township, where they bought a farm on which they remained for a time and then moved to Columbus. Here they lived for a period of five years, at the end of which time they returned to Putnam county and rented a farm in Blanchard township, where their son August, the immediate subject of this sketch, was born. After farming there for a time, John Redd bought the farm in Pleasant township, on which his son August now lives, and there he and his wife spent the rest of their lives,. his death occurring May 14, 1885, at the age of sixty-nine years, eleven months and fourteen days, his wife surviving him many years, her death not occurring until January 30, 1910, at the age of eighty-five years, nine months and eighteen days. John Redd became an influential member of the com- munity in which his latter years were spent and his voice was always given consideration in the discussion of measures designed to increase the general welfare of the neighborhood. He was a strong Democrat, and though not an office-seeker, ever took a good citizen's part in the political affairs of the county. He had been reared in the Presbyterian church and he and his wife were active in the good works of the community, being properly regarded as among the leaders in the section of the county in which they lived.
To John and Eliza (Devinney) Redd were born ten children, Nathaniel ; Rachael; John; Putnam; James; Lewis and Ida (twins) ; August; Charles and John. Of these, the only present survivors are Lewis, who lives in Nor- ton, Kansas, and August.
August Redd was reared on the home farm in Blanchard township and received the advantages of the local schools of that period, remaining at home until the year 1883, when he left for Kansas, in which state he farmed for two years, at the end of which time he returned to Putnam county and married the girl to whom his court had been paid previous to his departure for the West. With his bride at his side he then returned to Kansas, where they made their home for nine years. During this time they were able to buy a
I354

farm in Kansas, which they operated with considerable success, but the lure ·of home ties was strong and in the fall of 1894 they sold their Kansas farm and returned to Putnam county, settling on a farm in Pleasant township, which they rented for a time, then bought the farm on which they are now living in the same township, to which they moved in the spring of 1903, and where they have met with a gratifying measure of success, being now very well circumstanced.
On October 29, 1885, August Redd was united in marriage to Ada Eliza- beth Harris, who was born in Blanchard township, Putnam county, on March 29, 1868, the daughter of Alexander R. and Nancy J. (Crawfis) Harris.
Alexander Rudolphus Harris was born on November 12, 1833, in Licking county, Ohio, and came to Putnam county when he was a young man, about the year 1838, with his parents, who settled in Blanchard township. Here he grew to manhood and on October 14, 1862, was united in marriage with Nancy Jane Crawfis, who, for more than twenty years, made him a faithful and competent helpmeet and who bore him nine children, as follow: Louis Samuel, lives in Alberta, Canada; Edson, lives in Michigan; Ada Elizabeth, wife of Mr. Redd ; Anna, married Duff Bracy, and lives in Michigan ; Blanche, married Frank Bowman and lives in Michigan; Laura, married Ed Phillips, and lives in Wood county, Ohio; Pearl, married Bon Hissong, and lives at Benton Ridge, Ohio; John, Pearl's twin brother, is deceased, as is Henry, the last born. The mother of these children died, October 20, 1880, and on November 28, 1881, Mr. Harris married, secondly, to Mary Catherine Larkins, to which union there were born eleven children, three of whom died in infancy, the others being: Nettie, who married a Mr. Boyd; Mamie, who married George Boyd; Alma, deceased ; Badeson ; Dora, who married Edward Walker ; Hazel, Catherine and James, all of the survivors of whom reside in the state of Michigan, with the exception of Mamie and Catherine, who live in Louisi- ana. Following his second marriage, Alexander R. Harris moved, with his family, in the fall of 1883 to Saginaw county, Michigan, where he farmed until his death, February 25, 1911. His widow is still living on the farm in Saginaw county, Michigan.
To August and Ada Elizabeth (Harris) Redd were born five children, Putnam, who married Zoe Smith and is a prosperous farmer in Pleasant town- ship; Blanche, who married Ralph Agner, a Blanchard township farmer, and has two children, Floyd and Etheline ; Zelma and Gertrude, who are at home, and Florence, deceased. The Redds are members of the Methodist Protest- ant church at Riley Creek and are active in the various beneficences of that organization, the family very properly being regarded as among the leaders

in the social and economic life of the community, Mr. Redd being a trustee and steward of the church. He is a Democrat and while giving such atten- tion as a good citizen owes to the political affairs of his neighborhood and county, has never been included in the office-seeking class, though he served for several years very acceptably on the school board of his township. He is a man of congenial habits, quiet and unassuming in his manner, of sterling character and an excellent farmer and good judge of live stock. Mr. Redd is essentially a "home man," a kind father and indulgent provider. He has a good farm and a fine home and is rated as among the most substantial men in his neighborhood.
DAVID CORE.
One of the enterprising and successful farmers of Putnam county who came here when this country was a wilderness is David Core, a native of West Virginia.
David Core was born in Monongalia county, West Virginia, on May 9, 1840. He was a son of Moses and Elizabeth (Piles) Core, both natives of Monongalia county. Moses More was a soldier in the War of the American Revolution.
David Core grew up on a farm and on February 27, 1862, he was mar- ried to Rebecca E. Layton. She was also born in Monongalia county, and was a daughter of Peter and Catherine (Lyming) Layton. Peter A. Layton was born at Perryopolis, on the Monongahela river, between Martintown and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Catherine Lyming was born near Cassville, in Monongalia county, West Virginia.
In the fall of 1866 Mr. and Mrs. David Core moved to Putnam county, Ohio, and after one winter in Columbus Grove, moved to his farm two miles northeast of that place, a farm of fifty-four acres that he bought after he came here. The land was still new, no ditching had been done and there were very few improvements made at that time, and only about twenty-five acres had been cleared. Later, Mr. Core bought another farm adjoining the first tract, and though he still owns the first tract, he moved over to the sec- ond. He lived there until March, 1909. He now owns one hundred and twenty-three acres. Mr. Core was trustee of Pleasant township for one term and discharged the duties of that office with entire satisfaction. In 1909 he moved to Columbus Grove, where he now has a beautiful home.
Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Core and grew to maturity :

Olive, George W., Layton, Charles, Fannie, Harry, J. Gordon, Ida and Bert V. Olive, who married Daniel Tate, lives near Columbus Grove and has one daughter, Mrs. Nellie Harbaugh; George W., whose sketch is found else- where in this volume, is cashier of the Peoples Bank; Layton, who lives about three miles east of Columbus Grove, married Elizabeth Davis and has two children, Arlena and Raymond; Charles, who lives on his father's farm two miles east of Columbus Grove, married Emma Welty ano has three children, Vera, Lenna and Russell; Fannie, who became the wife of Lemley Morris, lives about one and one-half miles east of Columbus Grove and has four children, Catherine, Amy, Paul and Mildred; Harry, who is a lawyer of Columbus Grove, married Anna Baxter and has five children, William, James, Imogene, Harriett and George Richard; J. Gordon, who is a traveling salesman for the Pandora overall factory, lives at Columbus Grove and mar- ried Edith Miller. They have one daughter, Ethelyn Ida, who died in 1901, and was the wife of George D. McComb and lived about two miles south- east of Columbus Grove; Bert V., who resides on his father's farm, mar- ried Myrtle Bowers and has one daughter, Helen.
Mr. Core is a member of the Republican party, while he and his family belong to the Presbyterian church. The Core family is among the best in Putnam county, where they are held in universal esteem. Mr. Core is inter- ested in all public questions, to which he has contributed much of his atten- tion.
DANIEL EMANS.
No review of the lives of those residents of Putnam county who have contributed largely to the growth and development of the county's best inter- ests, would be complete without mention of the life and of the services to his community of the gentleman whose name introduces this brief and modest biographical narrative, Daniel Emans, one of the best-known and most pop- ular citizens of Pleasant township, this county, a man who quietly and un- selfishly has done much to better the conditions of his home neighborhood during his long residence therein, and it is a pleasure for the biographer here to present for the consideration of the readers of this volume a short sketch of Mr. Eman's career in the community in which his whole life has been spent.
Daniel Emans was born on the farm in Pleasant township, Putnam county, on which he still lives and where his parents and grandparents before
I357
PUTNAM COUNTY, OHIO.
him had lived, August 15, 1854, the son of Gilbert J. and Anna (Seitz) Emans, the former of whom was a native of New Jersey, born on July 13, 1813, and the latter a native of Pennsylvania, born in 1815.
Gilbert J. Emans came to Putnam county when he was fifteen years old, at which time his parents, John and Sarah ( De Mott) Emans, arrived here from New Jersey. This was about the year 1835, and the farm which was unbroken forest, was where the Emans family settled in Blanchard township, adjoining the site of the present county infirmary. There were eighty acres in this tract, which later, as the elder Emans succeeded in clearing his farm, was added to until the farm comprised ninety-three acres, on which the original owners spent the remainder of their lives. Grandfather and grand- mother Emans were people of sterling worth, of stanch pioneer type, and their influence in the early development of that section was exerted in every good way, so that, at their death there was general mourning in the entire neighborhood.
After the death of his parents, Gilbert J. Emans bought the interests of the other heirs in this farm and owned the same until his death. Previous to the death of his parents, however, Gilbert had bought a tract of forty acres in Pleasant township, where his son, Daniel has made his home and now lives. This original tract of forty acres was unbroken forest at the time he pur- chased it, but was cleared, to which was added another forty adjoining, and as this came under cultivation, he also added an additional forty, which he entered from the government and which, before his death, September 24, 1877, he had also brought to a good state of cultivation, making, in all, a fine farm. Gilbert J. Emans was a good citizen, an excellent neighbor and a de- voted husband and father, his example in the community in which he lived being of the most wholesome sort.
In the year 1846, Gilbert J. Emans was united in marriage to Anna Seitz, who was born in Pennsylvania in the year 1815, the daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth ( Hiatt) Seitz, who came to Ohio with her brother, David Seitz, in the year 1846, the two settling on land in Fairfield county, which previously had been entered from the government by their parents. It is on this farm, consisting of one section of land, that David Seitz remained the rest of his life, clearing the same and making an excellent farm of it.
To Gilbert J. and Anna (Seitz) Emans were born four children, all of whom survive, Lydia, who married August Clay and lives in Mercer county, Ohio; Elizabeth, who married Benjamin Van Eman and lives in Van Wert; Daniel, who is the immediate subject of this narrative, and John, a successful farmer of Blanchard township, who owns the farm originally entered by
1358
PUTNAM COUNTY, OHIO.
his paternal grandparents. The mother of these children died, March 18, 1899, having passed the eighty-third year of her life, and there was much: mourning in the community when she died, for she was a good woman.
Daniel Emans spent his boyhood days on the birth-place farm where he grew up, receiving his education in the excellent school of district No. I, Pleasant township, and being carefully instructed by his father in the neces- sary qualifications to the successful life of a farmer, it being determined early that he should follow farming. Incidental to this work, however, he received some excellent training in carpentry and has done considerable work in this- line during his life.
Mr. Emans is a member of the Riley Creek Methodist church and is devoted to the various beneficences of that church and active in all its works. He is the present class leader, a position of honor which he has held for some years. He is a Republican and takes an active interest in the political affairs of the county and for some years has served as clerk of the election board. For the past five years Mr. Emans has been practically retired from the active work of the farm, though he continues to give his close attention to the man- agement of the same. He is a good farmer and a man of sterling qualities, enjoying a wide acquaintance and an excellent reputation throughout the county, his earnest and quiet methods commending him to all who know him.
HENRY UPTON KENNEY.
Descended from good old Irish stock and having natural instincts for absolute frankness in their dealings with their fellow men, bearing an enviable reputation throughout this neighborhood for their pleasing manner, congenial spirit, exceptional business ability, and withal for success which has been the result of due consideration for the feelings of others, upright and honorable in all transactions, and worthy of the praise and appreciation of their fellow men, it becomes the duty of the historian to include the name of the Kenney family in the history of Putnam county where they have lived so long and achieved a marked success after overcoming many seeming insurmountable obstacles.
Henry Upton Kenney was born on January 26, 1877, on the site of his present farm, in Pleasant township, this county, and is the son of Norton and Olive ( Eversole) Kenney. Norton Kenney was born on July 25, 1846, near Canal Winchester, Fairfield county, Ohio, and is the son of Upton and Hannah (Whitehorst ) Kenney, the former's father was born on February 19, 1818,
I359
PUTNAM COUNTY, OHIO.
in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, and was the son of Samuel and Margaret ( Hanna ) Kenney.
Samuel Kenney was probably born in Ireland and came to America as a stowaway, or may have bound out to work his way across the Atlantic. It is- believed that his first place of settlement was in Greencastle, Pennsylvania. He remained here a short time and then removed to Hagerstown, Maryland, where he conducted a general dry goods business. It is recorded that he married Margaret Hanna, in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, October 18, 1810, and to them eleven children were born, Mary Ann (Mrs. Campbell), on July 25, 18II, now deceased; John, March 14, 1813, deceased; Nancy McDill (Horn), February 18, 1815, deceased; George A., December 16, 1816, de- ceased ; Upton, February 19, 1819, deceased; Samuel Alexander, April 2, 1823, of Staunton, Nebraska; Julietta (Huffman), February 22, 1825, of Lovington, Illinois; Rudolph, April II, 1827, deceased; Jackson, February 12, 1829, deceased; Martin Van Buren, March 28, 1830, deceased, 1912, and Margaret (Kramer) April 25, 1833, of Decatur, Illinois. The wife, Mar- garet Hanna Kenney, was born on January 4, 1789, and died in May, 1873. She was popularly known and referred to in her day as "Granny" Kenney. After their marriage, Mr. Kenney continued to run the general dry goods. business in or near Hagerstown, Maryland, and beside this devoted a portion of his time to teaching school, which he continued to do for many years. He was particularly learned in the subject of mathematics. From Hagerstown he removed to Fairfield county, Ohio, in the year 1823, and at which time the son, Upton, was five years of age. Here he located on a farm, erected a log house for which he hewed the logs and by frugal living and well-directed efforts he managed to accumulate a fortune. and died in Fairfield county. Upton remained under the parental roof on the original farm in Fairfield county, and when he grew to manhood he could look with great satisfaction to all the improvements he made on the land which bore the distinction of being one of the finest farms and residences in this part of the county. His. marriage to Margaret Whitehorst took place, June 5, 1845, and to them twelve children were born, Norton, on July 25, 1846, deceased; Amanda W. (Hart), March 14, 1848; Martha, February 4, 1850, deceased; George W., April 13, 1851; Herman, March 17, 1853, deceased; Sophia E., September 22, 1854; Charles E., April 4, 1856; Thomas W., August 24, 1859; James F. and Will- iam, twins, September 15, 1862 (twin William, deceased) ; Mary A. (Stem- mel), December 9, 1864, and Julietta ( Fromme), November 7, 1866. Norton Kenney was married to Olive Eversole, January II, 1872, and she was the daughter of Henry and Sofronia (Heis) Eversole of Fairfield county, where
1360

she grew to womanhood on her father's homestead farm and received her education in the township schools. She remained at home until a year after her marriage, when her father sold, the place and decided to settle in Pleasant township, Putnam county. This occurred in the spring of 1874 and after buying one hundred and fifty-two acres here, one hundred acres of which was in timber, he built a home and continued to farm until about three years prior to his death, which occurred on November 25, 1912, and in the sixty-sixth year of his age. In 1909, he added, by purchase, another farm of thirty-six acres, situated about one mile northeast of Columbus Grove, where he erected another home and where he lived a life of retirement. During his time he took great pride in raising Shorthorn cattle, which he put on exhibition at county fairs, held in the vicinity. To Norton and Olive ( Eversole) Kenney there were seven children born, Nellie Florence (Forrer), of Stewards Draft, Virginia; Charles E., who lives with his mother in Pleasant township; Daisy (Mrs. Henry Geiger), of Kirksville, Missouri; Bert and Bessie who died in infancy ; Henry U .; Maude Olive (Good) of Pataskala, Ohio. Mr. Kenney was a man whom it was a pleasure to know. In party affiliations, he was a Democrat and at one time held the office of township trustee, in Pleasant town- ship, for two terms. He was a member of the Phesbyterian church as was also his wife and family. He did not belong to any societies.
Henry Eversole was a native of Rockingham county, Virginia, and soon after his marriage to Sofronia (Heis) Eversole, came to Fairfield county, where he settled near the town of Millersport. He had something more than five hundred acres of land which he entered from the government. This he farmed until the time of his death, with the exception of one year, which he spent on a farm he purchased in Auglaize county, Ohio. He died in the year 1850, at the age of forty-four years. His wife was a native of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and came with her parents to Fairfield county. The trip was made by horseback and she, being then but two years old, was car- ried all the distance in her mother's lap. She grew up on her father's home- stead farm, where she was married. Her death occurred in 1872, at which time she had attained the age of seventy-three years. To their union were born nine children, John; David; Maria; Caroline; Heis; Olive, subject's wife; George and Henry, twins, and- Miller. The first four and the last named are now deceased.
Henry Upton Kenney with his brother Charles, farms their place in Pleasant township. They spent their early days about the homestead farm and received their education in the township schools. They followed in the father's footsteps and gave particular attention to learning all about the cattle

business and have always made a specialty of raising the Shorthorn breed. Their success in this line has been exceptional and they are known through- out the entire country for large holdings in the cattle business where they advertise extensively by exhibiting the best animals of their herds at county and state fairs. As a side line, they do considerable buying and trading in horses and other breeds of cattle, and are recognized as big shippers in the northwestern portion of Ohio, and splendid judges of live stock.
On November 26, 1909, Henry Upton Kenney was united in marriage to Clara Knapp, of Syracuse, New York, and they reside on the beautifully situated and excellent homestead farm. Mr. Kenney is in partnership with his brother, Charles E. Kenney, and they conduct the cattle business under the name of Kenney Brothers, dealers in fine cattle and horses. They make a specialty of Shorthorn cattle, for sale and breeding purposes.
Mr. Kenney, the subject, is an active worker for the Democratic party, is not connected with any societies, nor does he claim any active part in religious matters, though he was brought up in the Presbyterian faith. Per- sonally, he is a man who bears a wide acquaintance and is well thought of in the community, not only at home, but at large, and is particularly well liked for his fair and square business methods. He is always a booster for the good of the public and always found to take the lead in advancing the interests of citizens of his county and state.
Charles Kenney, who shares the activities of his brother in the farming and stock business, is unmarried and is very popular, energetic and business- like in his methods.
CHARLES HENRY JONES.
.
The purpose of a review is not to give utterance to a man's modest esti- mate of himself and his accomplishments, but preferably to leave upon the record the verdict establishing his character by the concensus of opinion on the part of his neighbors, friends and fellow citizens. The life of the unas- suming gentleman, whose name appears above, has been such as to warrant praise from those who know him best, owing to the fact that he has always been loyal to the trusts reposed in him and has been upright and honorable in his dealings with his fellow citizens, at the same time lending his support to the advancement of any cause looking to the welfare of the community at large.
Charles Henry Jones was born in Pleasant. township, Putnam county,
86
1362
PUTNAM COUNTY, OHIO.
Ohio, on October 19, 1884, and is the son of Philip H. and Arie (Bucking- ham) Jones. Philip H. Jones was born on November 17, 1848, in Erie county, Ohio, and was the son of Edward and Ann ( Roberts) Jones. Ed- ward Jones was a native of Cheshire, England, where he was born on Decem- ber 3, 1817, and died in Columbus Grove, June 27, 1899, age eighty-one years. and six months. He was descended from good English parentage and came to America in the year 1842, first settling near the city of Sandusky, where he was married on November 7, 1842 to Ann Roberts. His wife died on Janu- ary 28, 1897, being then at the age of seventy-four years and eleven months. In 1850, Edward Jones moved to Paulding county in 1851, remaining a year, he moved to Putnam county, and located on a farm a few miles northwest. of the town of Columbus Grove, where he continued to reside until the year 1876, when again he moved to another farm closer to Columbus Grove, at which place he died, after having farmed successfully all of his life. Ann (Roberts) Jones, wife of Edward Jones, was also born in Cheshire, England, on February 8, 1822, which country she left at the age of thirteen, accom- panied by her parents, who settled in Erie county, Ohio, near the city of San- dusky, and where she was married. Edward and Ann Jones were well and favorably known throughout their neighborhood and children of the com- munity constantly referred to him as "Grandpa" Jones. In the year 1856, this loving old couple were received into the United Brethren church and ever afterward proved themselves devout and active members. In their home they erected an altar around which the family joined in prayer, it being their idea to instill into the hearts of their children the fear of the Lord, and in this their efforts were not in vain. To them were born ten children, Hattie, who died on June 6, 1880; Annie (Mrs. Bogart), died in August, 1879; Melissa (Mrs. Holmes), died in September, 1895; Albert, who died in April, 1898; Dora (Bushong) of Columbus Grove, Ohio; Edwin, of Bluffton, Ohio; Philip and Harvey, of Pleasant township, this county, and two children who. died in infancy.
