BUTLER TOWNSHIP.

Butler County ; immediately after their marriage, they came to Darke County and settled in Butler Township, on the farm in Sec. 12, where they now reside. Mr. Shuler came before the era of gravel roads and underground ditches, and has done his share toward these improvements, for which Butler Township is justly cele- brated ; he was once elected Justice, but declined the honor ; he has been a quiet. useful citizen ; both he and his wife are worthy members of the Reformed Church and respected members of the community ; they are the parents of two children- Wilson, now a resident of Decatur County, Kan. ; and Franklin, a youth of 15.

HENRY SHUMAKER, retired farmer ; P. O. Castine ; a native of Mary- land and an old resident of Darke Co .; was born in 1815 and grew up as a farmer boy ; came to Ohio in 1845; lived near Germantown one year, then came to Darke Co. and lived about two years in the Yankeetown settlement ; settled on his present place in 1848. As we look over the cultivated and fertile fields on this farm now, it does not seem possible ; but nevertheless, when he came here there were but five acres cleared and a small cabin built ; all else was wilderness and swamp. It seems wonderful that a single generation, yet living, should have accomplished so much, but the evidences of the facts are before our eyes in the shape of fields rich with green verdure, promising an abundant harvest ; long lines of ditches, with their numerous underground branches reaching in every direction, tell of the labor by which this very desirable state of things has been brought about. Mr. Shumaker is a self-made man, having began life for himself in 1839, with nothing but his energy and strength to rely upon, and has success- fully battled with the difficulties of pioneer life, and in making himself, has done his full share toward making Butler Township, as it is to-day, one of the most pro- ductive portions of Darke Co. Mr. Shumaker now owns 160 acres, 80 in Sec. 23 and 80 adjoining in Sec. 24, which is farmed by two of his sons jointly, he having retired several years since. He was married in 1839 to Lydia Detro ; she is a sister to Mrs. Horine, the mother of the Horine brothers, whose biographies appear in the Butler Township list, and is an intelligent, kind-hearted woman. The fruits of this union were eleven children, seven of whom grew to maturity, five are mar- ried, two are single and reside with their parents.

After his marriage, he concluded his neighbors were too scarce and far between, and sold in part and traded for a quarter of Sec. 13, Butler Township ; afterward bought 80 acres of the southeast quarter of Sec. 12, upon which his present residence is located ; Mr. Valentine is emphatically a self-made man, being thrown out upon the world when so young that he has no recollection of his parents ; he had to depend upon the kindness of friends until he was old enough to earn a living, which he commenced doing while a youth ; he started out · for Cincinnati before he was of age, and has battled his way until he has become one of the substantial citizens of Darke Co. and a leading man of his neighbor- hood, and is now living a retired life, enjoying, in his later years, the fruits of the sacrifices and toils of his earlier years ; both he and his wife are now quite advanced in years, being the oldest couple of early settlers now living in their neighborhood. but are still in full possession of all their faculties, and remarkably vigorous and active ; they have three children living, all of whom are married and reside near them.

To the subject of this memoir we are pleased to accord a place in the front ranks of the early pioneers : he was born in Miami County the 9th day of the twelfth month, 1815 ; his father, Moses Coate, was born in South Carolina in the fifth month, 1767 ; his mother, Elizabeth Coate, was born in South Carolina the 9th day of the eleventh month. 1776 ; they were the parents of twelve children, viz. : Jane, born the 19th day of the seventh month, 1795 ; Mary, born the 15th day of the eleventh month, 1797 ; Thomas, born the 7th day of the fifth month, 1799; Esther, born the 1st day of the second month, 1801 ; Joseph, born the 22d day of the tenth month, 1802 ; William, born the 6th day of the fifth month, 1805 ; Margaret, born the 16th day of the fourth month, 1807; Samuel, born the 29th day of the twelfth month, 1808 ; Benjamin,

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES:

born the 23d day of the ninth month, 1810 ; Elizabeth, born the 10th day of the ninth month, 1812; Moses, born the 9th day of the twelfth month, 1815; Jesse. born the 1st day of the third month, 1818. Our subject was reared on the farm and assisted his father in agricultural pursuits till his 23d year, when he began life for himself and was united in marriage with Elizabeth Brown in 1839. Her parents were natives of South Carolina, and emigrated to Darke Co. in 1822, and settled on Ludlow Creek, in Monroe Township. They were the parents of twelve children, of whom only six are now living. Mr. Brown was born in 1797, and died at the age of 82 years ; Mrs. Brown was born in 1800, and departed this life at the age of 66 years. In 1844, our subject settled in Darke Co., in Adams Township. where he remained for three years, and then removed to the place where he now resides, in 1848. Just after his marriage, they removed to the vicinity of Terre Haute, Ind., where they remained over three years, when, becoming dissatisfied, they returned to their native State, where they have resided ever since. The land where he now lives was a howling wilderness when he first came on it, but. through hard work and good management, coupled with frugality, they have made a beautiful home and are surrounded by all the comforts of life. They are the parents of thirteen children, of whom nine are living, viz., Ezra, Esther, Bethana, Nancy J., Samuel, Elwood, Susannah, Emma E., Martha O .; the deceased are Job, Calvin, Edmund and Jesse ; Ezra was a member of Co. B, of the 44th O. V. I., and on account of sickness received his discharge and returned home till health and vigor were restored, when he again returned to the front and nobly did his duty. Edmund was killed by accident when he was in his 13th year; he was covering corn in the field, and, while passing near a large tree, that had become detached from the roots and loosened, it fell as he was passing by, and striking him, he was crushed to the earth ; he lingered a few hours in an unconscious state, and then passed quietly into the arms of his Savior. Mr. Coate was raised a Friend, but has been a member of the Christian Church for forty years-laboring long and earnestly in the cause he loves so well. Mrs. Coate is a member of the Ger- man Baptist Church of eighteen years' standing, and is an exemplary Christian woman. Their daughters, Susannah and Emma, are members of the church, the former belonging to the German Baptist and the latter to the Christian Church ; both are excellent young ladies and are co-workers with their parents in their respective churches. Bethana married Noah Arnett in March, 1866 ; Esther mar- ried Z. Boggs in 1871 ; Nancy J. married Samuel Hall ; Ezra married Melissa Thomas in April, 1866 ; Samuel was married to Mary Engall in June, 1876.

ISAAC B. COOL, farmer ; P. O. Laura, Miami Co. The gentleman whose name heads this sketch was born in the Shenandoah Valley, Va., April 5, 1842 : his parents, John and Elizabeth Cool, were natives of the same place-lived. died. and are buried in the place of their nativity. To them five children were given, three of whom are living, viz., Henry, Samuel and our subject. Jacob was among the slain at the battle of Chancellorsville ; Mrs. Cool died in May, 1846 ; Mr. Cool departed this life in August, 1854. Mr. Cool was married the second time, and by this union had two children, viz., Mary and Margaret, the latter deceased. Our subject's boyhood days were spent on the farm, having been bound out to a Rev. John Thomas, of Virginia. with whom he remained until he was 18 years of age- the stipulated time-and for two years after, which brought him to that period in our national existence when our country was struggling in the throes of civil war, when he was drafted into the army. His religious belief had inculcated an aversion and abhorrence to war, and he could not conscientiously take a part in the great struggle then pending, and, by making an intentional mistake, he boarded the wrong train and came to Ohio, where his religious belief was respected and tolerated. He first purchased 92 acres of land in this Township, on which he lived for two years, when he sold out and bought 40 acres adjoining, which he soon exchanged for the farm where he now resides. Mr. Cool is another of our self-made men; a refugee in a strange land, among strangers, and $3 in

debt, were the embarrassing circumstances under which he began life. His first marriage was consummated with Harriet Kinsey, in February, 1863, and to their union two children were given, viz .: Noah, born in February, 1864 ; Susannah, born in May, 1871. Mrs. Cool departed this life in July, 1878 ; she was a member of the German Baptist Church, and died trusting in the promises of her Savior. His marriage with Malinda Hinegardner was celebrated in December, 1879. He and his wife are members of the German Baptist Church, and are exemplary Christian people he being one of the Deacons of the church.

MARTIN DWYRE, farmer ; P.O. Red River. The gentleman whose name heads this sketch was born in County Limerick, Ireland, in February, 1822, and is a son of Thomas and Elizabeth Dwyre, natives of Ireland ; his father was a farmer by occu- pation and died when our subject was but 6 months old ; at the age of 18, he began life for himself, and engaged in farming ; he has many vivid recollections of the great famine in Ireland, in 1845-46, and says the County Limerick was better sup- plied than many other counties, and the miseries and horrors of starvation did not bear so heavily upon them ; among the counties that suffered the extreme pangs of hunger and want, M. Dwyre mentions those of Donegan, Leitrim, Westmeath, Tyrone, Queens, Kings, Cork and Galway ; he says the suffering in some of these counties was severe, and many people suffered the excrucating tortures of hunger, and the intensity of the famine swept the whole land. Our subject was united in marriage with Mary A., daughter of Nicholas Hartley, March 17, 1847 ; they were the parents of eleven children, of whom four are supposed to be living-two in Ireland, if living, and a sister of Mrs. Dwyre, living in this country. Our subject left Ireland for America May 8, 1847, and landed in Quebec, his voyage occupying five weeks and three days ; from Quebec he visited Montreal, St. John's, White- hall, West Troy, thence to New York, where he remained one week, from there to Honsdale, from there to Lewisborough, N. Y., where he worked on the Erie R. R. for about three months, from there to Binghamton, where he took passage on the Erie Canal and went to Buffalo, where he remained five months ; thence by steamboat he came to Sandusky, Ohio, from which point he came by rail to Springfield, Ohio ; here he labored one year on the Mad River R. R., the second road that entered Springfield ; from there to Mechanicsburg, where he labored two months on a turn- pike ; thence to Bellefontaine for a short time ; thence to Quincy, where he labored on the Little Miami R. R. for a full year ; thence to Brinton and worked on the road for five or six months ; from there to Westville, where he labored on the railroad for nearly one year ; thence to West Milton, where he labored on a road but it was never finished ; he also labored on the D. & U. R. R., then back to the Stillwater, where he laid down the shovel and bid farewell to railroading, and we believe Mr. Dwyre has helped build more miles of railroad than any other man in Darke Co., and, although his labors in this direction have occupied several years, and con- stantly underwent the exposure and the hardships incident to such work, he is yet hale and hearty, and none enjoy a joke or can tell a better story than Uncle Martin ; after he abandoned the railroad, he settled in West Milton, where he followed farming, ditching. stone quarrying, chopping, and in fact did anything for several years that would bring an honest dollar to his coffer ; in 1860, he removed to Darke Co. and leased 20 acres of Darke Co.'s woods, which he had the use of for eight years for the clearing, which he accomplished the third season, and with- out any assistance ; in 1868, he removed to the north part of the township, and rented a farm for cash rent, but only remained one year, when he pulled up stakes and returned to Miami Co., where he carried on a farm for two years ; then back to Darke Co. again and purchased 63 acres of land, where he now resides, for which he paid $45 per acre, and soon after sold part back for $55 per acre; the balance is all in a good state of cultivation ; they are the parents of eight children, six of whom are living, viz., Thomas, Michael, Daniel, Francis, Elizabeth and Kate ; the deceased are Nicholas and William.
