BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES:

of Cornelius and Elizabeth (Wilhelm) John- ston. He came with his parents to Green Township in 1814; attended school very little in his youth, owing to the limited facilities offered for obtaining an education at that early day, but in after years he acquired by his own efforts and constant reading a more extended knowledge than most citizens of Green Township ever had. In early life, he was apprenticed to a Mr. Danner, of Canton, and learned a trade; after his term of service, he opened a shop at Greentown, where he remained for nine years. Then returned to his father's farm, and, after five years, pur- chased the homestead, residing there until he died. He was chosen by his neighbors to occupy many offices of honor and trust in the township; was married, May 25, 1835, by Rev. O. T. Plympton, to Miss Catharine Moore, who was born Feb. 27, 1814, in North- umberland Co., Penn. She was che daughter of John and Margaret (White) Moore, who were both natives of Northumberland Co .; they moved to Ohio in 1823, with their family, and settled on a farm in Springfield Town- ship, now Summit Co., where they resided until they died. Mr. Abraham Johnston died Aug. 28, 1877; his widow is still living on the farm with their daughter Maggie. Mr. and Mrs. Johnston were the parents of five children-Washington G., born Feb. 18, 1836, now farming the homestead; Cornelius, March 4, 1839, and died in early childhood; Mary E., Jan. 9, 1842, married Jan. 4, 1866, to S. H. Hunsberger, and now living at Ottawa, Ill .; Maggie J., April 4, 1849, and resides with her mother; Isabella, June 16, 1852, married Oct. 23, 1878, to Corbin Dillman; they now reside at Joliet, Ill. The three daughters were educated at Greensburg Sem- inary. Washington G. attended Oberlin College for two years, and was also a student at Mt. Union; when about 20, he entered his uncle's dry goods store at Akron, remaining here two years; then commenced prospecting for coal in connection with his cousin, Cornel- ius A. Johnston: they opened the Johnston shaft in Franklin Township, working that for four or five years; they also manufactured oil at Akron for some eighteen months; Wash- ington then removed to Rochester, N. Y., and

for four years was engaged manufacturing boots and shoes; he returned to Summit Co., and, after his father's death, purchased the homestead, now 153 acres, which he farms at the present time. He was married, Oct. 1, 1863, to Miss Anna Irvin, and they have four children-James Irvin, Katie May, Grace and Mattie.

JACOB KING, farmer and stock-buyer; P. O. Inland; the son of William and Margaret (Stroup) King; born in Coshocton Co., Ohio, Jan. 20, 1838. He received a common-school education in the district schools of Mill Creek Township, Coshocton Co., and previous to attaining his majority he engaged in the mer- cantile business at Warsaw, a small village of his native county, forming a partnership with Christian Strome; after about two years he sold his interest in this establishment, and entered the seminary at Greensburg, where he remained for some eighteen months; he then attended Spring Mountain College, of Coshocton Co., for about six months, and, after teaching school for one term in Whitley Co., Ind., re-entered Greensburg Seminary. He was married, Feb. 27, 1862, to Miss Eliz- abeth Gougler, daughter of John and Mary (Thornton) Gougler. Mr. Gougler was born in Union Co., Penn., June 16, 1807; was mar- ried to Miss Thornton March 28, 1833, and they were the parents of four children- George and Samuel, residents of Green Town- ship; Elizabeth, wife of our subject; and Elias, now a resident of Coventry Township. The Gouglers removed from Pennsylvania to Green Township about the year 1838. Mr. and Mrs. King are the parents of four chil- dren-Mary Martha, Samantha Jane, Ama Maranda and John William. For three years after his marriage, Mr. King farmed his fath- er-in-law's farm upon the shares; he then set- tled on his present farm in the spring of 1865. He is an active member of the Evan- gelical Association of Greensburg, having been a member of this denomination for some twenty-two years. His wife has been con- nected with the church about the same length of time. In the spring of 1870, Mr. King received a license to preach from the Pitts- burgh Conference of the Evangelical Associa- tion, and was for two years assigned to Stark

Circuit; for the next two years he was located on Austintown Circuit, in Mahoning Co., and afterward to Erie Circuit, in Pennsylvania, for the same length of time. He was a very efficient worker in the cause of religion, and during his ministry in Stark Co. two new churches were erected on his circuit, one at Homeworth and the other at Louisville; two new church edifices were also erected while he was engaged on Austintown Circuit, one in Berlin and the other on Green Township, Mahoning Co. These four new church build- ings in as many years, were in a great measure the direct result of his skill at financiering for the congregations, of which he was then Pas- tor, and he received credit for his efforts in a lengthy article published in one of the organs of the association. Mr. King is at the present time a local minister; he is a member of the I. O. O. F. Lodge, of Greensburg, and is un- doubtedly the largest stock-dealer of Green Township.

REV. ADAM KLINEFELTER (deceased); a pioneer minister of the Evangelical Associ- ation, and for many years a prominent and influential member of the congregation at Greensburg. He was born May 1, 1796, in Shrewsbury Township, York Co., Penn., where he lived until he became of age. He united with the Evangelical Association at 19, and, at the Tenth Annual Conference held at New Berlin, Penn., in June, 1817, was received into the itineracy as a preacher on probation, and sent to the Lancaster Circuit in Ohio. The Evangelical Association then numbered only twenty-one itinerant ministers, and 1,493 members; Father Klinefelter survived them all, and was, previous to his death, the oldest living minister of this denomination. In the year 1818, he traveled Schuylkill Circuit, Penn .; in 1819, Somerset; in 1820, Union: in 1821, Lancaster, Ohio; in 1822, York, Penn. In 1823, was elected Presiding Elder and stationed on Ohio District, which field he occupied as Elder for four years; in 1827, he was sent to Sandusky, Ohio: 1828, Schuylkill, Penn .; and 1829, to Canton Circuit, Ohio. In consequence of the hardships he suffered during this active ministry of thirteen years, his health was undermined, and he was com- pelled to locate, in 1830, on account of bodily infirmities, but, for nearly fifty years after- ward as a local preacher, he did good service for the cause he loved. He was married, Aug. 2, 1825, to Margaret Dillman, born May 26, 1805; a daughter of Conrad Dillman, one of the early settlers of Green Township. For several years Rev. Klinefelter resided on his father-in-law's farm, but, about the year 1843, he purchased from a man named Yohe the 160 acres in Green Township, and resided

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES:

It was then written of him: "As a man and associate he was always straightforward, open- hearted, sociable and communicative. In his company no one would be likely to become sad or gloomy, for he was always cheerful, and the influence of his friendly spirit was almost irresistible. He was strongly attached to the church of his choice, without being uncharitable toward others, and, although he attached great importance to the early cus toms, manners and spirit of our church, he was more progressive than many whose best years belong to this progressive age. As a Christian, he was sincere and firm in his belief and principles, constant in his devo- tions, and exemplary in conduct. He liber- ally supported every good enterprise of the church." Margaret, his wife, was thrown from a wagon June 1, 1879, and suffered in- stantaneous death.

The nearest white neighbor was at that time some eighteen miles distant. During the war of 1812, this early pioneer of Columbiana Co. enlisted in the American army, and through exposure in the service he contracted disease from which he eventually died. His son John was born May 8, 1799, and removed from New Lisbon about 1830, and settled in Green Township, pur- chasing 135 acres of land.

Union- town; born in Center Co., Penn., Nov. 11, 1811; the oldest son of Henry and Elizabeth (Bushong) Myers, who removed to Green Township when Michael was about 18 months old. They settled on the farm now owned by him, and resided there until they died. When the subject of this sketch was young, the facil- ities for acquiring an education were very limited; he never went to school in his life, being compelled to labor early and late upon the farm. May 26, 1840, he was married to Miss Rebecca Ann Grotz, who was born Sept. 5, 1817; she was the daughter of Abraham and Mary (Kuhn) Grotz; her grandfather, John Kuhn, was a soldier in the American army during the Revolutionary war, and died July 3, 1845, while a resident of Green Township, at the advanced age of 88 years.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES:

JOHN B. MYERS, farmer, P. O. Union- town; born in Green Township Jan. 18, 1818; the son of Henry and Elizabeth (Bushong) Myers. The Myers family were of Germanic extraction, but probably from Switzerland. The grandfather of Michael was Isaac, who lived in Union Co., Penn., near Straubstown; Isaac had a son named Jacob, who married a Miss Ream, she was an exemplary Christian; they had eight children-Phillip, Jacob, George, Henry, Christopher, Michael, Barbara and Catharine. Michael was born March 1, 1765, and resided on his father's farm until 19 years of age, and then, in 1784, married Agnes Buchtel, who was born Dec. 1, 1765. About the year 1805, Michael removed from Union Co. with his wife and family to Center Co., Penn., where they remained about seven years. Michael followed his trade as a wea- ver for many years, but found this occupation injured his health, and commenced getting out mill-stones which was a very remunerative business, but one day a small piece of the stone flew into his eye; he was obliged to dis- continue work for six months; meeting with a second accident of this kind some time after- ward, he abandoned the business and com- menced blacksmithing in a small way, learn- ing the trade as he went along, until finally he was a master mechanic as some of his pieces of handiwork will testify to-day. He excelled in whatever he undertook. His love for music was manifested in the variety of instru- ments he was able to play, such as the flute, cornet, drum and fife. About the year 1813, he removed with his family to Ohio and set- tled in Green Township. Michael was the father of eight sons and five daughters, viz., Henry, Michael, Jacob, Christopher, Joseph, John, Philip, George, Sophia, Elizabeth, Bar- bara, Mary and Susan; only three are now living; they are residents of Springfield Town- ship-Phillip, George, and Mary, now Mrs. Spade. Henry, Michael, Joseph and John died near their father's Ohio home; Jacob and Christopher removed to Indiana and died there; Susan, died at 16; Sophia, died in early life after marrying Benjamin Pontius; Barbara, married a Mr. Bowers and died in Uniontown; Elizabeth, married a Mr. Buch- tel, and died in Wood Co., Ohio. Michael

seemed always to have the welfare of his children at heart; and in precept and exam- ple he was a Christian. He died Aug. 5, 1841, at the residence of his son George in Spring- field Township; his wife died at the home of her son Michael. It is related by John B. Myers that some two weeks previous to the death of his grandfather, the aged pioneer entered the shop of his grandson, who was working at the forge and affirmed that he had just seen a spirit which brought the tidings that he would soon pass to another world. Henry Myers, father of John B., was born in Pennsylvania about the year 1788; Elizabeth Bushong, his wife, was born the same year and they were married several years previous to the time the Myers family removed to Green Township. Five of Henry's children reached maturity, viz., Michael, born in 1811, now a resident of Green Township: Henry, born in 1815, and died in 1857, while a resi- dent of Akron: John B., subject of this sketch, born Jan. 18, 1818; Elizabeth, born Jan. 9, 1822, and married John Hammill; Jonathan, born Nov. 12, 1825, now a resident of Green Township. Henry was a blacksmith by trade, and lived on the farm now occupied by his son Michael; he was a member of the Re- formed Church, as was also his wife; she died June 10, 1864, and he survived her over ten years until Dec. 6, 1874. John B., his son, was when a mere boy apprenticed to learn his father's trade, and worked at the forge early and late; consequently he had no time left to acquire an education; he never went to school in his life; at the age of 15 he had the entire control of his father's shop, in which he worked until 25 years of age; he then pur- chased 72 acres of land, and has since then been a farmer, owning at the present time over 100 acres, upon which the village of My- ersville is located. He was married, Nov. 16, 1843, to Louisa Catharine Grotz, daughter of Abraham and Mary (Kuhn) Grotz; she was born Dec. 9, 1824; they are both members of the Reformed Church at Uniontown. 'T'he Myers family held their first annual re-union and picnic Saturday, Sept. 6, 1879, and the second one on Sept. 4, 1880.

PETER MYERS, farmer; P. O. Nimisila; born in Union Co., Penn., March 20, 1820;

GREEN TOWNSHIP.

the son of Daniel and Esther (Kauffman) My- ers; Daniel was born in 1782, and resided in Pennsylvania until 1825, when he settled with his family in Stark Co., Ohio; he was a finely- proportioned man, six feet and two inches in height, and weighing during the last twenty years of his life about 325 pounds; he died in 1845, while a resident of Stark Co .; his wife is still living at the advanced age of 87 years; they were the parents of ten children as follows: David, now of Franklin; Elizabeth, died aged 50; Mary, now a resident of Union Co., Penn .: Peter and Elias of Green Town- ship; Hannah, now Mrs. Daniel Diehl, of Franklin; Catharine, of Green Township; Margaret, now Mrs. Peter Warner, of Branch Co., Mich .; Sarah, now Mrs. Levi Swinehart, of Portage Co .; William, now of Akron. Peter Myers was educated in the public schools where he was raised; in 1860, he moved on to a purchase of 100 acres of land in Green Township, to which he added some eight years later 32 acres more. He was married, Oct. 8, 1861, to Mrs. Mary Lancaster, a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Grove) Stump; the result of this union was three children, one died in infancy, two are living -Isaac S. and Sarah Catharine, or "Kittie."

By her first husband Mrs. Myers was the mother of three children-Theodore Lancas- ter, now of North Hampton Township; Ce- celia, married Charles Heisa, and died aged 24 leaving one child-Ida A .; Levi A. Lan- caster, now a resident of Akron. Mr. and Mrs. Myers are members of the Reformed Church at Manchester. Their present home was built in 1862. Mr. Myers has frequently been elected Trustee of Green Township; the number of times he has been chosen to serve in this position of trust, is the best proof which can be given to show how he is esteemed by his neighbors; while serving in this position during the war, he was greatly instrumental upon several occasions in clearing the town- ship from the draft.

WILLIAM D. SWEETEN, merchant, In- land or Summit; was born in Chester Co., Penn., March 11, 1841; the son of John H. and Henrietta E. Sweeten. His ancestors came from Sweden, and settled in Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey. John H. was born

March 18, 1818, and married about the year 1840, six children being the result of this union -- William D., the subject of this sketch; Henrietta, now Mrs. Louis Bowling, of Balti- more, Md .; James M., now of Akron; Eliza- beth, now Mrs. Cyrus Keiser, of Montgomery Co., Md .; Catharine, now Mrs. Marshall Mar- tin, of Suffield Township, Portage Co .; and John, now a resident of Greensburg. Will- iam D. Sweeten was educated in the common schools of Pennsylvania. In 1857, he re- moved with his parents to Akron, where they remained for some two years, when they set- tled in Lake Township, Stark Co., in 1859. Mr. Sweeten is a painter by trade; he was engaged at this occupation in 1861, when the great rebellion broke out, and considering it the duty of all loyal citizens to aid in suppress- ing this revolt against national supremacy, he tendered his services to the Government. On Sept. 1., 1861, he enlisted in the 2d O. V. C., under Col. Doubleday, and served until Oct. 1, 1865, and during over four years our subject followed the fortunes of this regiment, of which it isaffirmed that it traveled a greater distance than any other cavalry regiment in the service. For the first eighteen months they were sta- tioned in Kansas and Indian Territory; then transferred to the Army of the East Tennessee under Gen. Burnside; they were at the sur- render of Cumberland Gap and sent to capt- ure Morgan, the rebel raider. When Gen. Grant assumed command of the armies, and the cavalry corps was formed under the gal- lant Phil Sheridan, Mr. Sweeten was trans- ferred along with his regiment, which had in the meantime (Jan. 1, 1864), enlisted as vet- erans for the war, to the Army of the Potomac. They served in the valley of the Shenandoah, taking part in the battles of Winchester and Cedar Creek, all of the conflicts in the Wil- derness campaign, and on the raid south of Richmond under Gen. Wilson. After the grand review in 1865, this regiment was sta- tioned at St. Louis and Springfield, Mo. When Mr. Sweeten returned to civil life, he followed his trade as a painter until the spring of 1880, when he purchased a stock of dry goods and groceries, and embarked in the mer- cantile business at Myersville. He continued there until February, 1881, when, having
