On the 30th of November, 1892, Mr. Craighead was united in marriage to Miss Kathleen McCook, a daughter of Alexander McD. McCook, who was a major general in the regular army. Two children blessed this union, namely: Alexander McCook, who was born in 1893 and is now attending the Hill School at Pottstown, Pennsylvania ; and Amalie.


The family are active and prominent members of the Presbyterian church and are very prominent socially. Mr. Craighead is an honored member of the Dayton Club : the Buzfuz Club, also of Dayton ; the Queen City Club of Cincinnati ; and

of Ohio Society of New York. The republican party has always found in him a stanch supporter of its principles and he has taken a very active and influential part in public affairs, serving on Governor Nash's staff for some time. It is a.s a lawyer, however, that he is best known and he stands deservedly high in the ranks of his profession.


SAMUEL F. CRAIGHEAD.


Samuel F. Craighead, long a representative and honored member of the legal profession of Dayton, was born on the 16th of June, 1817, in Carlisle, Pennsyl- vania, and spent his last days in Detroit, Michigan, where he passed away Sep- tember 6, 1894, his remains being laid to rest in Dayton. Born in the Cumber- land valley of Pennsylvania and reared among the Allegheny mountains, he came from as fine a race of men as the country has produced. His educational advan- tages were those offered by the public schools and in early manhood he went to New York city, where for several years he was employed by a relative who was the owner of a large publishing house there. He thus received thorough business training, and the knowledge gained therein proved one of the elements of his success in later life.


Desiring, however, to follow a professional career, he took up the study of law, was admitted to the bar and, arriving in Dayton in the spring of 1844, at once entered upon practice in this city. While advancement in the law is pro- verbially slow, Mr. Craighead nevertheless soon established himself as one of the foremost lawyers of the city, strong in argument, wise in counsel and with ability to solve the intricate problems of the law. His reputation was such that in 1848 he was elected prosecuting attorney of Montgomery county and served for two terms, fully maintaining through the able discharge of the duties of the office the high character that had been conferred upon it by his predecessors. From that time until about two years prior to his death, which occurred in 1894, he main- tained his position in the foremost rank of lawyers at the Ohio bar. His efforts were wide, varied and successful. He was gifted as an orator and strong in argument. Not only was he well versed in the principles of law and in precedent, but he possessed also a comprehensive knowledge of general literature from which to draw and anecdotes and illustrations frequently accentuated the point which he desired to make. During a period of forty years he was engaged upon one side or the other of almost every criminal case of importance in the courts of the county, and his practice also extended to other parts of the state. He entered into a partnership with Wilbur Conover in 1854 and for nearly twenty-five years the firm of Craighead & Conover was recognized as one of the eminent and most successful legal firms of Ohio, the connection being maintained until Mr. Craig- head's failing health forced him to withdraw.


Had Mr. Craighead determined, instead of pursuing the practice of law, to have entered the political arena, there is little doubt that he would have attained through his sterling qualities as well as his social characteristics high rank among those who are regarded as the foremost public men of the United States. Although


1072


DAYTON AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY


he took little active part in politics he was always a pronounced republican and was for years considered one of the ablest and safest counselors of the bar of Ohio.


The marriage of Mr. Craighead was celebrated in February, 1853, the lady of his choice being Mrs. Jeannette A. Schenck, the widow of Lieutenant Woodhull S. Schenck, of the United States navy, and a daughter of Judge William Miller of Cincinnati. Unto this marriage there were born three sons, Robert G., Eman- ual J. and Charles A.


While Mr. Craighead was known to the public as an eminent lawyer, to his associates as a faithful friend and to Dayton as a public spirited citizen, his best traits of character were reserved for his own fireside where he was seen as a genial, courteous host and a devoted husband and father. His life was at all times actuated by high and honorable principles. Calm, dignified, self-controlled, he gave to his clients the service of great talent, unwearied industry and rare learning, but he never forgot that there were certain things due to the court, his own self-respect and above all to justice and the righteous administration of the law which neither the zeal of an advocate nor the pleasure of success would permit him to disregard. The feeling entertained for him by his brethren of the legal fraternity can be perhaps best indicated in the memorial adopted by the bar association following his death :


"For nearly a quarter of a century he was the acknowledged leader of this bar. In these halls others contended with him as to the soundness of legal propo- sitions or as to the effect of evidence, but no one hoped to triumph over him by personal superiority. The elements of his great professional success were. in part. the generous gifts of nature. His presence was attractive, his capacity for work was great, his mind was active and versatile, his judgment as to what should be offered or omitted in the trial of a cause was instinctive and accurate, and his power of dramatic presentation could hardly have been acquired. But these native qualities were strengthened and supplemented by a. close and extensive study of the law, by a careful preparation of all the causes in which he appeared, and by the zeal and fidelity which are prompted by an accurate appreciation of the high duty which a lawyer owes to his client. A clear conviction that the law is a profession and not a trade lay at the foundation of his success and was the corner stone of his professional character. It raised him to those intellectual and moral heights where controversies are courageous and honorable, where vic- tories ennoble and defeats are not followed by shame.


"Most of us, upon our admission to the bar, found him in full practice, en- gaged in nearly all the important causes that were tried here, winning favorable judgment in most of them and in all adding to his reputation as a powerful and honorable advocate. Rejecting the overtures of those who desired to place hin in public positions for which his talent so admirably fitted him, he was neverthe- less a public man by virtue of his ability. In our professional circle he was the Great Commoner. We have all respected his character and emulated his success. Those of us have been most fortunate who have most clearly observed that honor and virtue made that success possible. In the trial of causes he was fearless and aggressive. He must have been conscious of his great powers as an advocate, though he was without arrogance. Loyalty and fidelity were prominent in his character. These qualities bound him firmly and closely to profession, to clients,


1073


DAYTON AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY


to family, to friends, to truth, to country. He received patriotism by inheritance, and throughout his long and useful life he nurtured it by the faithful perform- ance of those duties which every citizen owes to the state.


"In his later years his life showed a strong and beautiful blending of vernal and autumnal colors. To his own business and to that of his clients he brought the ripe fruit of long experience and much observation. But at home and office his friends were sure of a cheery welcome and at the meetings of lawyers his favorite place was among the younger members of the bar, whom he encouraged by kind words and delighted with the sallics of wit which so often enlivened the court room and the social circle. It seems as though it were but yesterday that he passed among us with the erect figure, the elastic step, the natural vision and the cheery voice of youth. But age brought even to him its inevitable infirmities and compelled his gradual abandonment of active professional duties. Yet he never ceased to teach us by his exemplary conduct. When the twilight deepened his life became a perpetual benediction upon all whom he met and all whom he had ever known. The memory of his talents, his virtues and his kindness will remain to us a valued heritage. But we cannot cherish the hope that we shall ever meet a manlier man."


BERTON I. RIKE.


Among the important growing and successful enterprises which have won fame for Dayton as an industrial center is that conducted by The Keogh & Rike Paper Company, of which Berton I. Rike is the vice-president and treasurer. A native of Bentonville, Indiana, he was born May 2, 1871, and represents an old southern family, his grandfather having been Christian Rike, who was born in Maryland in 1796 and came to Montgomery county, Ohio, in the early part of the nineteenth century. He was a carpenter by trade but located on a farm in this county and devoted many years to general agricultural pursuits, his death occur- ring in 1879.


His son Jesse Rike was born in Beavertown, Montgomery county, Ohio, in 1843 and was there reared. He, too, devoted his life to farming. He lived in Indiana for about twelve years, from 1866 until 1878, after which he returned to Dayton and there took up contracting and building, which line of activity claimed his attention until his retirement. At the time of the Civil war he responded to the call for troops to serve one hundred days. He was married to Miss Anna L. Bimm, and to them were born nine children, seven sons and two daughters, all of whom are yet living.


Berton I. Rike, the second in order of birth, was brought to Dayton on his father's return to Montgomery county, and was here here reared and educated, receiving his early mental training in the public schools, while later he attended the Normal University at Lebanon, Ohio. On leaving that institution in 1892 he again came to Dayton and pursued a commercial course, equipping him for busi- ness life. He then accepted a position with the Mead Paper Company, with which he continued until 1901, during which time he became familiar with the


1074


DAYTON AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY


trade in principle and detail. He then joined J. P. Keogh in organizing the firm of Keogh & Rike, which two years later was incorporated under the name of The Keogh & Rike Paper Company, with Mr. Rike as vice-president and treasurer. In 1908 the Rike Folding Box Company was incorporated, with Mr. Rike as president and general manager. This company has grown enormously within the short time of its incorporation and promises to be one of the largest institutions of its kind in the city.


In 1896, in Dayton, occurred the marriage of Berton I. Rike and Miss Louise Jenne, who died in 1906. Mr. Rike has since married Jane A. Evans. By his for- mer marriage he had two children, Oneita J. and Katharine L. Fraternally he is connected with the Royal Arcanum, while his religious faith is manifest in his mem- bership in the First Reformed church. In politics he is a republican and is inter- ested in local affairs, particularly all matters relating to municipal progress. His co-operation can always be counted upon to further movements for the city's good and through his business enterprise he has been a factor in advancing commercial activity.


SAMUEL BEST DOVER.


Samuel Best Dover, a real-estate dealer and operative builder of Dayton, was born July 17, 1860, in the city which is still his home. He is a descendant of Ben- jamin Van Cleve, one of the original settlers of Dayton and Montgomery county. The ancestry is traced back to John Van Cleve, who married Catherine Benham and was killed by the Indians in Cincinnati in 1791. Their son, Benjamin Van Cleve, was born February 24, 1773, and wedded Mary Whitten. Their family included a daughter, Henrietta Maria, who became the wife of Samuel B. Dover, whose son, Thomas Dover, was the father of our subject.


Samuel B. Dover was reared and educated in Dayton, being graduated from the Central high school with the class of 1879, after which he spent one term in the Ohio State university at Columbus. Since that time he has largely given his attention to investment and building operations.


In 1899, in Dayton, Mr. Dover was married to Miss Clara M. Rice, a daughter of Henry Rice, and they have one son, Thomas Kenneth Dover, born in 1901. Mr. Dover belongs to no order, club or church, but is a man of independent view and action, finding in his business incentive for enterprising effort, while his hours of leisure are devoted to such recreation and interests as are in harmony with his tastes.


JOSEPH E. BIMM.


Joseph E. Bimm, president of the Bimm Realty Company of Dayton and a representative of various other corporate interests which are factors in the business activity and consequent upbuilding of the city, was born September 21, 1855. He supplemented his public school education by a course in Lafayette College at Easton, Pennsylvania, and was graduated in 1877 as a civil engineer. After his


1075


DAYTON AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY


graduation he joined his father, Ezra Bimm. a well known and valued merchant of this city, in the grocery and ice business and in the incorporation of The Bimm Dayton Ice & Cold Water Supply Company. He was made vice-president and secretary of the company and following the death of his father in 1904 was made president of the concern. To other lines he has also extended his energies with the result that he occupies a position in the affairs of several other corporations. He is now the secretary of The Pasteur-Chamberland Filter Company, is also treasurer of the Music Hall Company, vice-president of The Reynolds Aertite Carton Company, and a director of the City National Bank.


In April, 1883, in Dayton, Mr. Bimm was married to Miss Mary B. Darst, 2 daughter of N. B. Darst, and they have one daughter, Kathryn D. Mr. Bimm is a member of the Dayton City Club and the Dayton Country Club and also of the Masonic fraternity, in which he is both a Knight Templar and a thirty-second degree Scottish Rite Mason. His political belief is indicated in the fact that he holds membership in the Garfield Club. As a youth he united with the Lutheran church and is interested in any movements which tend to promote the material, social, intellectual, political and moral progress of his native city.


HENRY HERMAN BIMM.


The name of Bimm is an honored one on commercial paper and in commercial circles of Dayton, for it has long been a synonym for enterprise and reliability in the business life of the city. The subject of this review is a native son of Dayton. his birth occurring February 26, 1858. At the usual age he was sent to the public schools, where he continued his studies for some time, and later at- tended a preparatory private school for two years. He then matriculated in Lafayette College, in Easton, Pennsylvania, from which he was graduated with the class of 1879, and thus well qualified by liberal education for the practical and responsible duties of life, he returned to Dayton and became associated with his father, Ezra Bimm, in the grocery and ice business, and with his brother Joseph E. succeeded to the business on the father's death in 1904. He is the president of the Pasteur Filter Company and of the Music Hall Company, vice-president of the Bimm Dayton Ice & Cold Water Supply Company and secretary of the Bimm Realty Company, the brothers being associated in these various enterprises.


In his political views Mr. Bimm is a republican. He belongs to the Knight Templar commandery, is a thirty-second degree Scottish Rite Mason, a member of the Mystic Shrine and is in hearty sympathy with the beneficent spirit that underlies the craft. His social relations extend to the Dayton City and Country Clubs and he is a member of the First Presbyterian church.


Mr. Bimm was married in 1891, in Dayton, to Miss Belle Ralston, a daughter of John Ralston, and they have one son, Ezra Burnett Bimm, who was born in 1902.
