PETERSON, WILLIAM, farmer; P. O. Perryville. Among the enterprising and energetic farmers of Mon- roe. Township, none are entitled to a more prominent place in her history than the subject of this biography, His father was one of the pioneers of the township, and he, too, may be justly termed a pioneer, for he was either born in this township or was brought here by his parents at a very early day. His father was a farmer by occupation and the owner of a large farm in the fertile valley of the Black Fork. When he became the owner of this farm, it was in a state of nature, wild and uncultivated : but, by persevering energy and patient toil on the part of himself and sons, a great

transformation was soon made, and the frowning forest gave place to fruitful fields and flowery meadows. The subject of this sketch remained with his father, assist- ing the cultivation and improvement of his farm, till some time after he had attained to his majority, when he was united in marriage to a very estimable young lady of his neighborhood, Miss Esther, eldest daughter of Solomon and Rachel Gladen. By persevering in- dustry, fine financiering and careful management, Mr. Peterson has been very successful in the acquisition of this world's goods ; he owns two excellent farms in the northeastern part of Monroe Township. He has erected, at a great cost, a magnificent dwelling on one of these farms. He has also built commodious barns on both farms. His farms are highly fertile and pro- ductive, and he cultivates them in a very creditable manner. Mr. Peterson and wife have raised and edu- cated an interesting family of children. One of their sons, named Erasmus, a very promising young man, contracted a disease which rendered him a cripple for life ; he died in 1879, and was buried at Perryville.

REA, WILLIAM (deceased). Was born in Cumber- land Co., Penn., June 23, 1772 ; he subsequently removed to Bedford Co., Penn., and about 1816, came to Richland Co., Ohio, and entered the north half of the southeast quarter of Sec. 35, in Monroe Township; he came to the county in company with Jacob Williams, Joseph Friend and William Fergueson ; Mr. Williams entered the south half of the same half-section, Mr. Fergueson entered the south half of Sec. 34, in the same town- ship ; Mr. Friend entered the farm now owned by Alexander Freeman, on the eastern boundary of Worthington Township, near the present site of the town of Newville. Mr. Rea, upon his arrival in this Western wild, went to work at once and cleared a small tract and erected a cabin on his farm ; he kept bachelor's hall for a few years, when he rented his cabin to one William Wilson, a son-in-law of Jacob Williams ; Mr. Wilson lived here a few years, assisting Mr. Rea in clearing and cultivating his farm. About 1821, Mr. Rea was united in marriage to Miss Eliza Swendal ; they were married at the residence of John Kinton, in Worthington Township, by Rev. William Johnson, of Mansfield ; Mrs. Rea was born in the County of Down, Ireland, about twenty miles from Belfast, Dec. 25, 1792; her father's name was Richard Swendal; her mother's maiden name was Susan Fox ; Mrs. Rea came to the United States when about 25 years old ; she had a brother living in this country, but she did not know where to find him; she, without money or friends, set about seeking employment at once, which she soon was able to find : she worked for some time in the city of New York, and in various other places ; in a few years, by the assistance of a friend, she was enabled to find her brother; when she did find him, however, she did not recognize him, and it was with no little difficulty that he was enabled to convince her of his identity : she subsequently came with her brother to Richland Co., and got married as before stated. Mr. Rea took his wife immediately with him to his cabin and went to housekeeping in the primitive style of those days; they were the parents of four children-Martha Ann, born Aug. 9, 1826, died March 23, 1842; Mary Jane, born Sept. 18, 1828 ; Eliza, born

Dec. 10, 1830, died in the spring of 1839 ; Sarah, born Jan. 2, 1832, died in the spring of 1839; all of whom were buried in the Pine Run graveyard. Mr. Rea united with the United Presbyterian Church early in life, and was an active and consistent member thereof as long as he lived ; he was very strict in the observ- ance of the ordinances of religion ; Mrs. Rea united with the same church some years before her marriage and still retains her membership therein. William Rea died Oct. 2, 1846, and was buried in Pine Run graveyard. Mrs. Rea has resided with her daughter, Mrs. Darling, for several years ; she is now 87 years old; though somewhat enfeebled by age, she still retains full pos- session of her mental faculties.

Mrs. Nancy Reed departed this life December 22, 1844. Mr. Reed remained a widower until Dec. 29, 1853, when he was united in marriage to Miss Clancy E. Crawford, fifth daughter of George and Mary Crawford, of Perryville, Ohio. They were united in marriage by Rev. William Hughes, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Perryville. By his second wife, Mr. Reed has had seven children, five sons and two daughters-Nancy Jane, born June 27, 1855, mar- ried to James A. Coe, in 1876, by Rev.

RINEHART, I. S., miller ; P. O. Ada, Hardin Co., Ohio. Jacob Rinehart, great-grandfather of I. S. Rinehard, came to this country about the year 1736 ; he attained to the great age of nearly 100 years ; his son, Conrad Rinehart, was born in Maryland, A. D. 1785; he became a member of the Evangelical Associa- tion at an early age, and remained an active and zeal- ous member of that branch of the Christian Church up to the time of his decease ; he was married to Miss Eve Bealy, of his native State; he and his wife were among the original members of the Evangelical

John B. Rinehart, father of I. S. Rinehart, was born in York Co., Penn., June 2, 1813; he was married to Miss Mary Stump, eldest daughter of Adam and Rebecca Stump, of his native county, in the fall of 1834 ; Miss Stump was born in York Co., Penn., Aug. 13, 1812. Mr. Rinehart and wife came to Ohio, in company with his father-in-law and family, in the spring of 1830; they settled in Columbiana Co., where they remained till the fall of 1838, when they removed to Richland Co., and settled near Woodbury, where they continued to reside for several years ; they subse- quently removed to Knox Co., where they lived a few years ; about the year 1864, they removed to Worth- ington Township, in this county. He and his brother, C. B. Rinehart, purchased the Rock Point Mills, near Newville, which they ran with very good success many years ; they subsequently purchased about 60 acres of land adjoining this mill property ; in the fall of 1874, J. B. Rinehart sold the mill property and removed to Ada, Hardin Co., Ohio, and purchased an interest in a steam-mill at that place ; he here met with reverses of fortune, which nearly stripped him of all he had ac- quired by many years of toil ; he continued to reside in Ada till the day of his death, Aug. 13, 1879. Mr. Rinehart was a man of strong constitution and iron nerve; few men of his day could compete with him in feats of strength ; he was a kind, social and obliging man. His widow still resides in Ada, and is much esteemed by all who know her for her many virtues ; she has been an active Christian for many years. Adam Stump, the father of Mrs. J. B. Rinehart, .was born in York Co., Penn., Sept. 15, 1786; he was mar- ried, Dec. 24, 1811, to Miss Rebecca, daughter of Peter and Elizabeth Castelow; her father was a native of Ireland, and her mother was a German by birth ; her mother's maiden name was Baker; Mr. Stump re- moved to Ohio, as hereinbefore stated : he was a miller by occupation ; he resided in this county many years prior to his deatlı ; he and his good wife were zealous members of the Lutheran Church ; she was a member of this branch of the Christian Church about sixty and he about twenty-six years ; he died March 4, 1872 ; she died Sept. 1, 1879 ; they lie side by side in the St. Jolins Cemetery ; they lived to see descendants of the third generation ; he died at the age of 85 years 5 months and 19 days; she was aged 86 years 2 months and 15 days. J.

I. S. Rinehart was born in a mill at Ankney- town, Knox Co., Ohio, Sept. 1, 1838 ; his father was attending this mill at the time, and, there being no dwelling convenient, the family lived in a part of the mill ; it can be said of him, that he was born and raised

in a mill. As soon as he was old enough to be of any service, his father taught him the trade, and he has fol- lowed that business from that day to this. lIe has the reputation of being a very good miller. He was united in marriage to Miss Louisa, daughter of Solomon and -- - Painter, then of Woodbury, now of Newville. Miss Painter was born in Columbiana Co.

SCHRACK, DAVID (deceased); was born in Center Co., Penn .; was of Scotch-English descent, and a farmer by occupation. He was married to Miss Elizabeth Mogle ; she was of German descent. Mr. Schrack re- moved to Richland Co. in 1819. He purchased of Thomas Pope a quarter-section of land in the southeast part of Monroe Township, and moved thereon with his family. He subsequently entered the quarter-section adjoining his first purchase on the north ; on the Pope farm there were about 4 acres cleared and a rude cabin built thereon. Mr. Schrack and family lived in this cabin till they were able to put up a more comfortable and commodious house. His farm was covered with a deuse and heavy growth of timber, and required a vast amount of hard labor to prepare his lands for cultiva- tion, and, though the soil was rich and productive, his grounds were stony and hilly ; but by hard labor and per- severance on the part of himself and sons these diffi- culties were all overcome. Mr. Schrack lived to see a

850

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES:

massive brick dwelling occupying the place of the rude log cabin. He lived to see the dense forest give place to fruitful fields. He lived to rear a large family o children, and to become comparatively wealthy. Mr Schrack was a " mighty hunter," and many were the deer, wild turkeys and other wild animals that fell be- neath his unerring aim. He also shot quite a number of bears when he first came to the county. He was among the Indians a great deal, with whom he was always on friendly terms. Mr. Schrack and wife are the parents of fourteen children, three sons and eleven daughters ; three of these died in infancy ; the sons were named Charles, John and David ; the daughters -Sarah, Catharine, Mary, Margaret, Elizabeth, Rachel, Sophia, Susan and Ann. Sarah married Abraham Hersh, and raised a family ; she is now dead.

SCHRACK, CHARLES, farmer ; P. O. Newville. The subject of this sketch was born in Monroe Township June 9, 1820; he is the eldest son of David and Eliza- beth Schrack; he was born and brought up in the woods, and inured from infancy to all the privations incident to pioneer life ; being the eldest of the boys, the burden of the hard lahor fell upon his shoulders. As soon as he was old enough to pick brush or handle a hoe, he was put to work by his father ; and from that time till the day he left the parental roof, he was obliged to lead a life of labor and almost incessant toil. Mr. Schrack had but little time or opportunity, while young, to obtain an education, and yet he succeeded in obtaining as much knowledge of the common English branches as many young people of the present day. He remained with his father, assisting him in clearing and improving his farm, until he was about 27 years old. He was married, Dec. 30, 1847, to Barbary Ham- mon, fifth daughter of George and Catharine Hammon, of Worthington Township. Miss Hammon was born May 1, 1820. Mr. and Mrs. Shrack are the parents of five children, three sons and two daughters ; the eldest died in infancy ; Marion Hammon Schrack was born Sept. 26, 1851-married to Miss Hattie E. Graber ; Harriet Ellen, born Sept. 1I, 1854, died in infancy ; Elizabeth Catharine, born April 13, 1856, married Iliram Sheehy ; Clark Douglas, born April 12, 1859. After their marriage, they lived on his father's farm one year, when they removed to a farm of 185 acres, for which he paid the sum of $7,000. At the time Mr. Schrack purchased this farm, it was very much run down and out of repair. The buildings were old and dilapidated ; the fences very much in need of repair ; a large portion of the best land was overgrown with briers and brushes, and the fertility of the soil nearly destroyed by being over-worked, and other causes. Mr.

Schrack, with the assistance of his wife and sons, has has transformed it into quite a different looking farm. A thrifty young orchard of fruit-bearing trees may be seen on his farm. The sterility of the soil has been changed to great fertility, and to-day Mr. Schrack has one of the most productive farms in this region of country. He received nothing from his father's estate, notwithstand- ing all the hard labor he did on the farm. Mr. Schrack donated the ground on which the Pleasant Valley Lutheran Church is built, as also the grounds for the churchyard and cemetery. He also contributed liber- ally of his means toward the building of this and other churches, and for the relief of the distressed, and the support of the Gospel. A few years ago, he united with the Disciple Church. His wife is a member of the Lutheran Church.

SCHRACK, JOHN, second son of David and Eliza- beth Schrack, was born and reared in Monroe Town- ship. The days of his boyhood and early manhood were spent in assisting his father in clearing and cul- tivating his farm. Some considerable time after he had attained his majority, he conceived the idea of becoming a lawyer. His education was at that time quite limited ; but, being possessed of great energy, by dint of hard study and close application this difficulty was soon overcome. After attending school till he acquired a pretty thorough education, he commenced the study of the law. He pursued his studies with such dili- gence and energy, that in a short time he was admitted to the bar, and entered upon the practice of the law. He suceeeded admirably well in his profession, and soon ranked among the foremost young lawyers of the county. He served as Prosecuting Attorney two terms, and while engaged in his profession had a very lucra- tive practice. On the death of his father, lie became the owner of the " old homestead," and a few years afterward he forsook his profession for the peaceful pursuits of the farm. He still continues to practice in Justice's courts, but his chief pursuit is farming.

STOUT, HIRAM, farmer; P. O. Lucas. He was born in Sussex Co., N. J., on the 16th day of Jan- uary, 1819; he was the eldest son of James and Eve Stout; he came to Richland Co. with his par- ents when quite young, and endured with them the privations incident to pioneer life; as young as he was at that time, he had the honor of grubbing the first grub that was taken out on his father's farm ; his facilities for obtaining an education were quite lim- ited. but notwithstanding all these difficulties, the sub- ject of this history succeeded, by industry and appli- cation, in acquiring a fair knowledge of the common English branches. Mr. Stout, in his younger days, was very fond of hunting-in fact, he was a regular " Nimrod ;" when he was about 15 years old, he heard his dogs one morning about daybreak barking fiercely in the woods at some distance from the house, and he at once shouldered his rifle and started to see what they had treed, thinking it was a raccoon or opossum, or some other small animal; when he arrived at the spot, he saw some large animal, with glittering eyes, seated on the branch of a tree; he took deliberate aim and fired, when down came a huge panther and fell dead at his feet, shot through the brain ; this was the only panther known to have been killed in this region.

MONROE TOWNSHIP.

Mr. Stout, in his younger days, was rather fond of the company of the young ladies. He loved, with them, " to trip the light fantastic toe," yet nevertheless he never suffered himself to be entrapped by their " win- some wiles and winning smiles;" but, as a matter of choice, has remained a bachelor to this day, living with his aged mother, and taking care of and providing for her during her declining years. Mr. Stout is the owner of the old homestead, and has it under a good state of cultivation ; his farm is very productive, and well adapted to the raising of all kinds of grain.

STOUT, JAMES (deceased). Was born in Sussex Co., N. J., April 15, 1790. His parents came to the United States from the lowlands of Ilolland. He was married to Miss Eve Hupfer, fifth daughter of Jacob and Margaret Hupfer, of Cumberland Co., P'enn., Oct. 27, 1815, by whom he had three children, two sons and one daugh- ter. Mary Ann, the eldest child, was born July 17, 1816; she was married to Edward Sheehy ; she died Dec. 19, 1858, and was buried at Perryville. Hiram, born Jan. 16, 1819; Cornelius, Dec. 16, 1822; died May 21, 1862; buried at Perryville. Cornelius was married to Miss Mariah Owens, by whom he had a large family of children. Mr. and Mrs. Stout came to Richland Co. in the fall of 1826, and settled near Petersburg, in Mifflin Township, where they remained about two years, when they removed to Monroe Town- ship and bought a farm about one and a half miles south of the present site of Lucas, where they re- mained about one year, when Mr. Stout entered the west half of the southwest quarter of Sec. 22, cleared off a spot, erected a cabin and moved his family there ; the country, at that time, was still wild; few settle- ments had been made ; a few bears were still to be seen in the woods, and wildcats were plenty ; deer and wild turkeys were still numerous. Mr. Stout was fond of hunting, and many deer and wild turkeys fell victims to his unerring aim. By industry and perseverance, the wilderness was converted into a "fruitful field," and made to " blossom as the rose." Mrs. Stout nar- rates that before she came to Ohio, she learned to shoot, in order that she might be able to defend herself, if necessary, against attacks of the Indians. She says that, whenever she wanted a mess of squirrels or other small game, when the men were busy, she would shoul- der a rifle and go to the woods, and soon succeed in getting all she wanted. James Stout still continued to reside on this same farm till the day of his death, Aug. 80, 1864 ; he was buried at Perryville. His widow still resides on the old farm with her son Hiram; she is healthy and intelligent for a woman of her years ; she was 84 years old on Christmas Day of 1879.

and underbrush, but, by persevering industry on the part of himself and sons, the wilderness was trans- formed into fruitful fields.
