The original of this sketch was born in South Cleveland, Olio, December 15, 1865, and when old enough entered the rolling-mills in that city, where he obtained a thorough knowledge of the business in all its details. Ile had been previously given a fair education, and is to-day a well informed and intelligent citizen of Cambridge. Mr. Davis was married, April 6, 1886, to Alice Davidson, a native of Martin's Ferry. The lady survived her mar- riage three years, when she passed away, leaving a daughter, Eliza, born May 6, 1889. May 9, 1892, our subject was married to his second wife, who prior to this occasion was known as Cora Spell. Their union has resulted in the birth of a son, John Francis.
Mr. Davis made his advent in this place in March, 1890, and immediately obtained employ- inent in the rolling-mills with which he is still con- nected. He is eminently fitted for this business, both by nature and training, and is well respected by his brother workmen. Mr. Davis is a member of the Order of Foresters, and belongs to the Amalgamated Association and the Good Templars. Ile has clung to the faith of his ancestors and is a inember of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In political sentiment be is a Republican and was captain of the club at Martinsburg during his res- idence s/ that place. He is a man of sterling
worth and integrity and has the confidence of all who know him. Mrs. Cora Davis was born at Westwood, near Cincinnati, and, her parents dy- ing when she was young, was taken into the home of Dr. McPherson, where she was reared to woman- hood.
J OSEPH PENIX, a well-to-do and enterpris- ing farmer of Franklin Township, has owned his well improved homestead on section 3 for the past thirteen years. This farm, known as the Jonas Bair place, contains ninety-one acres of land well adapted for general agricultural pur- poses. The name which our subject bears is vari- ously spelled by other members of the family, the usual form being Pennick, and the founder of the branch in America was a native of Ireland.
The earliest ancestor of whom our subject las authentic knowledge is his grandfather, James Penix, and his wife Mailta. Their son William was born in 1827, in Navarre, Stark County, this state. In his early days he drove a team, and later learned the carpenter's trade. Soon after reacli- ing his majority he turned his attention to farm- ing, in which he has made distinct success. At the age of twenty-three years he married Sophia, daughter of Michael King, who was one of the early settlers in the vicinity of Beach City. Soon after his marriage William Penix leased a farm south of Sugar Creek Falls, on the Strasburg Road. There he lived for five years, and then for eleven years near Winesburg. For some tune he was a resident of Wayne Township, but finally removed to Franklin Township, settling on lot 16, range 3, and here he spent the remainder of his life. Ile owned one hundred and twenty-nine aeres in his home place and sixty-eight acres in Wayne Town- ship. At his demise, which occurred February 4, 1892, he was nearly sixty-five years of age. Ilis son Harvey now owns the old homestead. The house was built in 1840, and was re-built by its late owner.
William and Sophia Penix were the parents of ten children, all but three of whom are still living.

UERNSEY COUNTY was formed by act of the Legislature, Session of 1809-10, from portions of Belmont and Muskingum Counties. The aet was consummated March 10, 1810. The name came from the Island of Guern- sey, many of whose natives were residents within the limits of the proposed county. April 23, 1810, a meeting was held at the home of George Beymer, at Cambridge, at which the first County Commis- sioners were sworn in. The first board was com- posed of James Dillon, William Dement and Abraham Martin. Elijah Beall was appointed Clerk, and John Beatty Treasurer. Elijah Dyson was appointed to make out a list of all residents of the county liable to taxation. The first Sheriff was Thomas Knowls, first Surveyor George Metcalf, and lirst Coroner Joseph Smith.
It was ordered that the county be divided into five distinct townships, said townships to be called, respectively, Oxford, Seneca, Wills, Cambridge and Westland, and that a county plat be made by the Surveyor.
By order of the Board of Commissioners tavern licenses were graded from 81 to $5.
At the meeting held the following June 10, it was ordered that a township to be called Buffalo be or- ganized.
A contract was let to build a county gaol, at this meeting, Andrew Marshall receiving the award.
Richland Township was organized .July 28, 1810, and Madison the same day. Meetings for organi-
zation were held at the house of Samuel Leath, in Richland, and at Absalom Martin's, in Madison.
September 15, 1810, Wheeling Township was organized. The meeting was held at the house of William Gibson.
On Christmas Day, 1810. Robert Jolinson be- became Clerk. The Steubenville Road was com- pleted from Cadiz to Cambridge in 1811. .
In June, 1811, Lloyd Talbot was appointed su- perintendent of the crection of a court-house building, and Z. A. Beatty and Jacob Gomber were chosen contractors to construct the same. The gaol was finished September 3, 1811.
Valley Township was organized at the house of William Thompson, March 25, 1815.
.Jefferson, Londonderry, Beaver and Ohio Town- ships were organized January 3, 1816.
Monroe Township was organized at the house of Lawrence Tetrick in April. 1818.
Knox Township was formed in March, 1819; Spencer in 1819, Liberty in 1820, Centre in 1822, Washington in 1823, Jackson in 1821 and Adams in 1827.
In 1851 Buffalo, Beaver, Ohio and Seneca Town- ships were detached from Guernsey County and be- came a part of Noble.
Rivalry existed for many years between Wash- ington and Cambridge for the honors of the coun- ty seat. Messrs. Beatty and Gomber, public-spirited men, gave the ground and proposed the erection of suitable buildings, said buildings to be ready

for the roof if they were located at Cambridge, a proposition accepted. For many years thereafter the county-seat question was at intervals renewed. Indeed, it was not until after the advent of the railroad that Washington gave up the controversy.
THE NATIONAL. ROAD.
The macadamized road which runs through the entire length of Guernsey County is a splendid roadway, self-draining and easily kept in repair. This road is the only one worthy the name in the county, and is part of the great National Road, , sometimes called "Clay's Pike," because Henry Clay was largely instrumental in having the Cen- eral. Government undertake the work. The Guern- sey County section was made in 1827, and at once became a great thoroughfare for traveling. It greatly enhanced the valuation of property in the county.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The Court House ornamenting the public square in Cambridge is one of the most elegant and best furmshed buildings of its kind in Ohio. Perhaps, considering its cost, it stands without a rival throughout the United States. The superstructure is of small greenish colored, rock-faced stone from Cumberland, trimmed with white sandstone from Zanesville.
ADVENT OF THE BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD.
The arrival of the first train from Columbus over the then new track of what is now the Balti- more & Ohio Railroad was celebrated April 27, 1851. The train consisted of six coaches. Citizens quite generally took part in the welcome. The march from the station house to the public square was under the marshalship of Col. Gordon Lolland. The address of welcome was delivered by Hon. Nathan Evans. Appropriate replies were made by George James, of Zanesville, and Samuel Brush, of Columbus, Military companies from Columbus and Zanesville participated in the exercises.
STEAMBOATING.
It seems hardly credible that Wills Creek was ever navigated by a steam craft, but such is the fact, and so firmly were the pioneers of the opinion that it should be improved, that a bill was passed by the Legislature in 1835, and on the 15th of
March, 1836, was celebrated its passage. Capt. Sam Hanes built the "Tiekle Pitcher," which made several trips to Zanesville and return. The return trips were attended by many difficulties-to get through shallow waters poling had to be resorted to. Little was ever done beyond the survey in behalf of slack-water navigation.
LIST OF ASSOCIATE JUDGES OF THE COUNTY FROM 1810 To 1851.
Jacob Gomber, Robert Spears, Thomas B. Kirk- patrick, William Frame, James Leeper, Thomas Henderson, Elijah Bealle, George Metcalf, David Tullis, William Skinner, Turner G.

The Judges on the circuit dur- ing the period were: William Wilson, Jeremiah Il. Hallock, Benjamin Tappan, Corrington W. Searle and William Kennon.
Court, From Old Practice.
" Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye, all manner of persons who sue or implead, or. stand bound by recogni- zance, or have otherwise to do before the honora- ble Court of Common Pleas of Guernsey County; let them draw near, give their attendance and they shall be heard, for this court is now open. God save the state!"
MILITARY HISTORY.
The War of 1812-15 had a stagnating effect upon improvements in Guernsey County. All ef- forts toward advancement were checked. Men flew to arms for the protection of their families and firesides; uncertainty and distrust reigned among those who were left behind to await the result of the arbitrament of arms.
The citizens from Guernsey County who parti- cipated in the War of 1812 were as follows: James Frame, Amos Williams, Thomas Hyde, William Smith, William Mccullough, Thomas Robe, Enoch Thomas, Patrick Mclaughlin, John Waller, David
509
HISTORICAL.
Waller, Lewis Waller, John Barton, Adam Shinn, Henry Baker, William Shepherd, Jacob Smith, Timothy Sharock, Everett Sharock, Shandy Ilam- mond, William Morehead, William Cherry, James Morehead, William Hudson, John Bates, Samuel Ilalters, Michael Archer, John Secrest, James Dye, Thomas Bay, James Bay, Samuel Bay, William Bryan, James Oldham, William Ilosiach, John Iluteliinson, Jolin Marling, Isaac Oldham, James De Long, Isaac De Long, William Laws, Enoch Phillips, Aaron IIedge, James Fuller, David Hollis, Gowmar Matthews, John Gibson, Adam Tedrick, Jolin Phillips, Israel Hedges and Paul De Witt.
Considering the sparse population of Guernsey County at the time, this was a big showing-in- deed a wonderful outpouring in behalf of their country.
William Reed, one of the above-mentioned sol- diers, was with Commodore Perry at the battle of Lake Erie, and was one of those who manned the boat when Commodore Perry made his change of flagship from the "Lawrence" to the "Niagara," a perilous passage of half a mile under the fire of the enemy. In the painting of Perry's victory, that hangs in the rotunda of the capitol at Columbus showing this daring feat, the sailor plying the oar, handkerchief about his head and blood streaming over his face from the wound. is William Reed.
GUERNSEY COUNTY IN THE CIVIL WAR.
It seems quite impossible to secure a complete roster of the soldiers furnished by Guernsey County to the War of 1861-65. When war's alarm was sounded the response came quickly from Guernsey, and throughout all the struggle she maintained her loyalty to the Old Flag. As far as procurable we give the roster.
Guernsey County was represented in the Fif- teenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry by many soldiers. The regiment was organized in the state-at-large, in September, 1861. The official list of battles in which it was engaged and bore an honorable. part is as follows: Shiloh, Tenn., April 6 and 7, 1862; Corinthi, Miss., May 30, 1862; Stone River,
