John Foreman, the eldest of the family, owned and improved the farm known in later years as the "Vankirk farm," where he resided until 1829, when he moved with his family to Nottawa, St. Joseph county, Mich., where he died in 1846. He was a man of more than ordinary energy, industry and enterprise, took a lead- ing part in all measures for the welfare and prosperity of the early settlers. He commanded a company of militia, and was always among the first in defense of the safety and peace of the neighbor- hood and county. Of an ingenious turn of mind, his mechanical skill made him very useful, at that early day, to his neighbors, and often to others in distant parts of the country. A member of the Seceder church, of strong convictions, he read much, and was ready in debate and conversation. His first wife, a sister of the late Judge Orr, died soon after their marriage, leaving no children. His second wife was a daughter of John Glasgo. She died within two years after their marriage, leaving one child, Enos Foreman. The third wife was a daughter of William Johnston, an early settler, living in Sugarcreek township. Eight children survived the last wife, two of whom have since died, the others being residents in several different Western States.

Enos Foreman, son of John Foreman, and grandson of David Foreman, was born August 9, 1820, in Baughman township, on the place known now as the " Vankirk farm." When nine years old he had enjoyed the usual advantages of education then fur- nished in country district schools. With his father's family he went to Nottawa, Michigan, in 1829, where he worked on a farm, going to school in the winter months, until 1838, then entered White Pigeon (now Michigan State) University, and pursued the usual classical course until December 1840, when he returned to Wadsworth, Ohio, and spent the next four years under the instruc- tion of John McGregor, a highly educated Scotchman, a graduate of Edinburg University, and a most successful teacher. He went to Mt. Vernon, Ohio, in 1844, and read law three years with the late Judge Hurd, teaching school winters in Fredericktown to defray expenses. He was admitted to the bar in May, 1847, and settled in Wooster, occupying the office and having the use of the library of the late Judge Avery, who was then a Judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio. In 1852, with H. C. Johnson as partner, he purchased the Wooster Republican, and continued its publica- tion until July, 1870, when he sold out to McClure & Sanborn, and removed to Cleveland where he has since resided.
Hugh Harkins .- The parents of this honored pioneer were na- tives of Ireland, where the family, by a record kept since 1693, is shown to have been cloth-weavers and possessors of real estate. His father's name was William Harkins, who, in 1791, married his cousin, Margaret Harkins. In 1793 they emigrated to America, accompanied by nearly all the connections -his mother, brothers and sisters, and his brother-in-law, Patrick Porter and his family. The little colony landed at Newark, New Jersey, being deterred from disembarking at Philadelphia on account of yellow fever then prevailing there. They made their way to Lancaster county, Pa., but in four years afterwards removed to Westmoreland county, Pa., where the subject of this sketch was born in 1805. After liv- ing in Allegheny county five years, his father and Patrick Porter and his sons Richard and John, with their families, removed to Ohio, settling in the then untamed wilderness of Wayne county, on April 19, 1814. There were but few settlers ahead of them, one being John Baughman, after whom the township was subse- quently named. Here they lived and prospered the remainder of their lives, his mother dying in 1843, aged seventy-five years, and

Marshallville was laid out by James Marshall, surveyed Febru- ary 7, 1817, plat and certificate recorded February 27, 1817, rec- ord to be found on page 184, vol. I, and is, we believe, the first town laid out in the county after Wooster. Mr. Marshall is rep- resented as being an excellent citizen, and a member of the old Seceder church of Dalton. The town was surveyed by and for Mr. Marshall, and named Marshallville (not Bristol). In 1834, when Martin Weimer came to the village, there were but ten houses there, occupied by Elijah Dancer, Calvin Brewster, James and Joseph Hogan, Enoch Moffit, James Marshall, John Rech and a Mr. El- lingham and a Mr. Scotton-the two latter shoemakers.

HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY, OHIO.
Reformed Church of Marshallville was built in 1874, under the management of a building committee, composed of Martin Weimer, John Ault and William Etling, at a cost of $7,000. Rev. F. Strassner# was the first minister. The one prior to. this was erected in 1836, on joint property across the street, and east of the new one. The first German Reformed families in the neighborhood were Jonathan Pon- tins, Mr. Holmes and his family, Tobias Gindlesperger, Martin Weimer and his brother-in-law, Joseph Musser. Revs. Sonnedecker, Monosmith and Swissler were among its earliest ministers, and after them, Rev. Lewis Edmonds, Cyrus H. Rei- ter, H. B. Sandal, T. J. Seipel. The membership is 112. The joint service was. abandoned, because the Reformed desired a church in the village, as it was more central. The New Lower Church was built in 1875, solely for the Lutherans, and is not joint property.
John Ault was born in Baughman township, Wayne county, September 8, 1825. He remained with his father on the farm un- til he was twenty-one years of age, and was married October 29, 1846, to Catharine Young, of his own township. He began life as a farmer and still adheres to his first occupation. Whatever is profitable in the management of his farm Mr. Ault devotes himself to, whether it be producing corn and wheat, or raising hogs, sheep or cattle. His father was a farmer and business man before him, and instilled into his son those inclinations of industry and apti- tudes of speculative enterprise so characteristic of the man. He is energetic and impulsive, and whatever he turns his attention to he proceeds to perform, and will not ordinarily allow him- self to be thwarted by impediments or baffled by opposition. Adroit and shrewd, he takes a square view of things, believing that through the advancement of the agricultural, mechanic and industrial arts the best civilization of the world can be achieved. The farmer is the rightful lord and monarch of the soil, and the mechanic his co-partner, co-adjutor, and needful counterpart. He
# Rev. F. Strassner is the present pastor of the Reformed Church at Orrville, a notice of which was inadvertently omitted in its proper place. This congregation was organized and incorporated January 20, 1869, the following being the incorpo- rators : J. Wert, J. Frey, M. Gruger, P. Krick, A. Wirth, J. Speicher, J. Hurni, G. Yeakley, Benjamin Eyman, Z. K. Long, F. Piens, and C. Albright. The pres- ent pastor, Rev. F. Strassner, began his ministry April 1, 1872. The services from the beginning of the pastorate was one service in the English language each Sab- bath, either in the morning or evening, and every alternate Sabbath morning service in the German. He conducted the exercises in the church at Marshallville during his pastorate, until October 1, 1877. Rev. Strassner is a native of Bremen, Germany, where he was born, February 22, 1831, and came to America in 1848. He entered the ministry in 1859, his first charge being in Wilkesbarre, Pa. He was married to Mary G. Gleim, of Lebanon county, Pa., March 28, 1861, and has had six children. He is an eloquent speaker and a learned divine.

is a friend of the educational movements of the age and a zealou: supporter of the common schools.
In politics Mr. Ault is a sound Democrat, and exceedingly popular with his party, to the extent that when he is in the can vass he is the winning man. He was a member of the Ohio Legis lature from January 1, 1866, to January 6, 1868, and served in the Senate of the State of Ohio from January 1, 1876, to January, 1878 In his official capacity he advocated reforms of all beneficial char acter, and a return to the thrifty and prosperous days of the Re public. His official career is one of which he may well feel proud As a citizen he is devoted to agriculture, the propagation of anc traffic in fine breeds of cattle, always and strenuously insisting upor public improvements, more railroads, fixed values, steadier price: and cheaper transportation.
While he is much abstracted in business, his private walk i: signalized by the strongest social and domestic attachments. He is kind-hearted, charitable, companionable and liberal to a fault. He owns one of the finest and best improved farms in Wayne county, and attends to the management and supervision of it him self. We regard him as a representative man in his sphere of life. His punctuality, straight-forwardness and unimpeachable private deportment have won him hosts of friends and lasting friendships.
