NOTE: Dates on tombstones at Mt. Tabor are frequently wrong, based on
other sources,
sometimes multiple sources. Example is a marriage date from courthouse
records of 1854 and a death
date on the tombstone of 1851 for the same person. Additionally, this
person had children after his "death."
Dates given are best determinations, based on all available sources - could be
off by a year or two.

[NOTE: Based on dates and information so far (July 2005), it is likely
that Polly was part of "the other" HUNTER family that lived in
western Champaign County. So far, the marriage of Nathaniel to Polly is
the ONLY connection (no deeds, business or land transactions, etc. have been
found between the two groups) between the HUNTERs. In addition,
Polly's presumed family were frequently married by Justices of the Peace while
Nathaniel and all his family were prominent in the Methodist-Episcopal (ME)
Church, and so were the families with whom they married.

Synopsis:
-
Ancestors of both Nathaniel HUNTER and his
wife, Ann PORTER, moved to Ireland from Scotland in 1607 when James I
confiscated 800,000 acres that were the estates of the chiefs of the O'NEIL
and O'DONNEL clans of the Ulster tribe.
-
Nathaniel and Ann emigrated to America in 1793
with their first child and settled in Greenbrier County, VA (now WV).
-
In 1810, they moved to Possum Run, Madison
County, OH, 8 miles south of London where they lived for 3 years.
-
In 1813, they purchased 950 acres of land 3 miles
southeast of West Liberty and two miles west of Mount Tabor. There was a
stone house built in 1820 on the site of the original log cabin.
-
American Indians lived near but there was never a
problem between them. Their second camp meeting was held in 1819 and was
attended by neighbors from far and near and nearly 300 Indians. Lorenzo
DOW also attended this camp meeting.
-
It is interesting to note that Dale Morrow's
ancestors, the NEILLs of VA, were once O'NEILs and were part of
the same migration from Scotland to Ireland to VA.
-
Ann PORTER and
Nathaniel HUNTER were born in Saintfield Parish, County Down, Ireland,
about 12 miles south of Belfast.
-
James
S. Ward is buried by Mary. Dates indicate he was probably her son by
her previous marriage. Her maiden name is unknown at this time (July
2005). Go to Tombstones
Public Records of Champaign County, Ohio, Chancery Records of the Court of
Common Pleas, Record Book 20, Page 94, filed 14 Aug 1843: William
Spry, Administrator of James S. WARD, deceased vs. Widow and
heirs. James S. WARD died intestate and owning lot numbers 19,
20, 21, 22 & 37 in MIddleburg. He left widow, Martha, who is now
the wife of Zachariah LONGBRAKE of Clark County, Ohio; and Maria FUNK,
now wife of Joseph FUNK. Maria is the half sister of said James
S. WARD and his only heir left.
-
Mount
Tabor Cemetery is located in northeast Champaign County, about a half mile
south of the
intersection of state route 507 and route 245 - it sits visibly on a high
hill with an old brick church (Mount Tabor). The church plaque
includes the following inscription (click on photo to enlarge): 
"The
cemetery at Mt. Tabor basically surrounds the church on three sides.
Although the date of the death of Griffith and Martha Evans small daughter
varies according to county histories, it indisputably was the first burial
in what was to become Mt. Tabor Cemetery. Veterans of the
Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, World War I and World War II are
interred in the cemetery. Harley Woodard, a local stone carver,
furnished many of the gravestones. The cemetery is renowned for its
three case zinc monuments. Far more uncommon than the usual stone
monument, these hollow grave markers, with their distinctive bright gray
color, were produced only briefly during the 1880s and 1890s.

Historical Society, October 11, 2004."

See 110.4 above: Griffith & Martha EVANS,
his wife, with a few children, emigrated from Greenbrier County, VA in 1810, and
settled near the site of Mt. Tabor, on a large tract of land bought from the
owner, Alexander DUNLAP, in VA [Source: History of Champaign
County, p. 514]. "In the year 1811, an infant daughter of Griffith
EVANS and wife, was buried at the place now occupied by the large cemetery
at Mount Tabor. This was the first grave made at this consecrated place,
and Griffith EVANS' family was probably the first Methodist family in
Salem township. It seems that Griffith and Martha EVANS, with
almost prophetic vision, selected this beautiful spot in the wilderness, on
their own land, as a burial-place for their loved child, long before any
arrangement had been made for using this ground for church purposes. From
the year 1810 to 1814, several other Methodist families removed from Greenbrier
County, VA., and settled near what is now the north line of Champaign County.
In 1814, a little Methodist society was formed at this place, and met at
Griffith EVANS' house for worship. This house was furnished with an
earthen floor and puncheon seats. In 1816, a little log cabin
meeting-house was built at Mount Tabor, and Rev. Saul HENKLE preached the
first sermon in that house. John HUNTER, father of Nathaniel C.
HUNTER, the last of the pioneer band who built that little meeting-house in
1816, departed this life February 28, 1878. Another noble act of Griffith
EVANS and wife, I think ought to be here recorded. Martha Evans'
maiden name was Martha McNEAL; at the time of her marriage to Griffith
EVANS, she was possessed of considerable wealth; among other property, her
father left her several slaves. At or before the time of their emigration
to this county, their slaves were all set free, and I believe all followed them
to this country. I have frequently seen Martha EVANS' former slaves
about her house, and she used them as kindly as if they had been her own
children."

Later Joshua deeded the land back to Robert. On 29 March 1815 Robert
deeded 105 acres to Nathaniel HUNTER and HUNTER has refused Lydia
her dower right. Nathaniel replied that he thinks the rest of the 75 acres
is sufficient for the dower and that Joshua, with his two brothers, Caleb and
Joseph were equal owners of a farm left by their father, Caleb, on the head
waters of Buffalo Creek, Washington County, Pennsylvania which contained 200
acres and was sold to one William ELEMS (?) and the money applied toward
the purchase of the 720 acres. The Court ruled that Lydia was entitled to

History of Champaign County,
pp. 515-516: Nathaniel and Ann HUNTER, with their nine children,
four boys and five girls, started to remove from their home in Greenbrier
County, Va., on the 15th day of September, 1811. They stopped and
settled six miles south of London, in Madison County, Ohio, where they
remained three years. In 1814, they removed to Salem Township, Champaign
County, Ohio and bought a large tract of excellent land, three miles southeast
of where West Liberty now is. The parents of this family were members of
the Methodist Church. In 1816, Nathaniel HUNTER and his four sons
all helped liberally to build the first meeting house at Mount Tabor.
They all helped liberally to build two brick meeting houses at the same place
since that time. The four sons and five daughters all joined the
Methodist Church at Mount Tabor at an early age; all lived and died members of
the same church; all were of high social standing in life; all did much every
way to advance morality and religion in the community in which they lived; and
all, parents ahd children, are buried at Mount Tabor. At a re-union of
the HUNTER family in Salem Township, in 1873, twenty-six members of the
family connection were present. Now, in 1880, Nathaniel C. HUNTER
and his family are all of this once large family connection that remain in
Salem Township.
From Middleton's History of
Champaign County, Ohio, Nathaniel C. HUNTER entry, pp. 332ff:
Nathaniel HUNTER was born in County Down, Ireland, on a farm about
twelve miles from Belfast, December 4, 1768, of Scottish descent, his forbears
having crossed from Scotland into the north of Ireland in 1607. On
February 2, 1790, he married Ann PORTER, who was born on May 15, 1772,
also of Scottish descent, and in 1793 he and his young wife and their baby
daughter, Mary Ann, came to this country and located in Greenbriar county,
Virginia, where they established their home and where they remained for
fifteen years or more, at the end of which they disposed of their holdings
there and in 1810 came out into what then was regarded in the East as the
"wilds" of Ohio. Chillicothe was their point of destination in this
section and upon his arrival there Nathaniel HUNTER began looking about
a bit for a suitable place for settlement. He presently bought a
three-year lease to a tract of land on Possum Run, eight miles south of
London, in Madison county, and the next spring put out a planting of corn on
that tract. He later started out seeking a place for the establishment
of his permanent home, finally deciding that in Champaign county there were as
fruitful possibilities as in any section of this part of the state. So
well pleased was this stalwart pioneer with the appearance of things in this
county that he bought nine hundred and fifty acres of land in Salem township,
two miles west of Mt. Tabor and three miles southwest of West Liberty.
Then, with the assistance of his elder sons, he cleared a patch in the forest,
built in that clearing a log house and made some other improvements on the
place, and in the spring of 1814, moved his family into the new home.
Meantime, during the family's residence in Madison county, another baby had
been born into the HUNTER household, the last daughter, Elizabeth, and
thus when the new log house in the wilderness was furnished there was need for
the cradle. At that time there still were numerous Indians hereabout and
wild game in abundance and with the exception of an occasional small
settlement here and there the land was a veritable wilderness. The
Indians were not troublesome at that time, however, and the HUNTER
family was not disturbed in its home-making there in the woods of that Mt.
Tabor country, and that home presently came to be recognized as one of the
best-established and most hospitable in all that region roundabout.
Nathaniel HUNTER was a good farmer and lived to see his land, which is
still in the ownership of the HUNTER family, developed into a fine bit
of farm property. To Nathaniel and Ann (PORTER) HUNTER
nine children were born, namely: Mary Ann, born on October 9, 1791, who
married a CASEBOLT; Alexander, February 11, 1795, who became a
substantial farmer in the Mingo neighborhood; Jane, November 11, 1796, who
married a MILLER; Thomas, January 22, 1799, who also had his home near
Mingo; John, March 20, 1801, father of the subject of this memorial sketch;
Nancy, April 30, 1803, who died unmarried; Samuel, March 23, 1805, who married
Maria MILLER and also established his home in Salem township Salle J.,
October 13, 1806, who married a WHITEHEAD and moved to Michigan, and
Elizabeth, March 18, 1813, who married a McFERRIN and made her home in
Salem township. The mother of these children died not many years after
the family took up their residence in Salem township and the father married,
secondly, a WARD and by that marriage had two children, Maria, born on
September 2, 1821, who married James FUNK, and Hester Ann, March 2,
1825, who died unmarried.

History of Champaign County, Wayne Township,
pp. 835-836: Mrs. Nancy HUNTER, farmer; P.O. Mingo; widow of Thomas
HUNTER, deceased; was born in Guernsey Co., Ohio, August 5, 1813.
She is a daughter of James and Margaret JOHNSON, natives of Virginia; the
grandparents were natives of England. The grandfather, Thomas McLUNG,
was educated for a Catholic priest, but never entered upon the priesthood.
He emigrated to America prior to the Revolutionary War, and was a soldier in the
army of the colonists and fought through the war to help gain the American
independence, for which service he became a pensioner for life, living to a very
old age. The parents came to Ohio in 1811, where they lived and died; the
farm upon which they located is still owned by a grandson, never having passed
from the possession of the JOHNSON family; they were parents of five
children, four of whom are living - Nancy, Elizabeth, William and Isaac.
In 1836, Mrs. HUNTER became a resident of Logan Co., where she lived four
years. Oct 8, 1840, she was married to Thomas HUNTER, son of
Nathaniel and Mary HUNTER, [editor's note: Thomas was the son of
Nathaniel and Hester Ann] who were natives of Ireland, emigrating to Virginia
about 1790, where he engaged in mercantile trade till 1811, when he came to this
county, locating in Salem Township, and was employed in agricultural pursuits
during the remainder of his life. He became a man of wealth and a person
of usefulness in both church and State, devoting his life and means to
benevolent and public enterprises. Thomas HUNTER located upon the
farm where Mrs. HUNTER now lives in 1820, and was married to Miss Mary
EVANS, by whom he had two sons - Griffith Emery and Milton. After
eight years of married life, his wife died, and, in 1840, as stated above, he
was married to Miss Nancy JOHNSON, by whom he had seven children, six now
living - Anna Mary, now Mrs. Russell; Sarah E., now Mrs. Demcy, living in
Cleveland; Frances J., now Mrs. Wright; Thomas E, Hale and Agnes, now Mrs.
Guthridge. Mr. HUNTER was said to be the tallest man in the county,
being six feet and five inches in height. He was a man who never sought
office, but devoted his life and means to relieving the poor and doing good.
He was always an industrious and energetic man, and remarkably conscientious in
all he did. He was a strong anti-slavery man, and in 1844, cast the first
abolition vote ever given in Champaign Co. He provided a good education
for all his children, and gave liberally to all public improvements up to the
time of his death, Feb. 19, 1879, aged 80 years. Among the early settlers
of this county, there are few whose lives of labor and usefulness will stand
forth as a brighter and more perfect example than that of Thomas HUNTER.
The widow, Mrs. HUNTER, remains upon the home farm, where she and her
sons, Thomas and Hale, each have 57 acres of good land in the beautiful Mingo
Valley. Mrs. HUNTER and her husband were both members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, he being a member for sixty years, and she for
fifty-seven years.
-
Obituary: Thomas Hunter, 27 Feb 1879, was
born in Greenbrier County, VA, 22 Jan 1799 and died near Mingo 19 Feb 1879, aged
80 years. His father's family came to Ohio in 1811 and in 1814, settled
permanently in Salem Township near Mount Tabor.

Thomas E. HUNTER in Centennial
Biographical History of Champaign County, OH, pp. 635ff: A leading
agriculturist and honored citizen of Champaign county is Hon. Thomas E.
HUNTER, who has spent his entire life in this county. He was born on
the farm on which he now resides, October 23, 1848. His paternal
grandfather, Nathaniel HUNTER, was a native of the Green Isle of Erin,
but in an early day crossed the briny deep to America and took up his abode in
Virginia. In 1811, however, he left his southern home for Ohio, becoming
one of the early pioneers of Champaign county. His son, Thomas, the father
of our subject, was born in Greenbrier county, Virginia, in 1799, and when
twelve years of age he accompanied his father on his removal to the Buckeye
state. After his marriage he took up his abode in Wayne township. He
was a life-long farmer, a Whig and Republican in his political views and was a
worthy member of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he long served as a
trustee and steward. In Champaign county he was united in marriage to a
Miss Evans, and they became the parents to two sons, but both died when young.
For his second wife he chose Nancy Johnson, who was born in Guernsey county, but
in early life she came with her parents to Champaign county. Her death
occurred when she had reached the age of seventy-four years. Of the seven
children born unto his parents Thomas E. HUNTER, of this review, was the
eldest son and fifth child in order of birth, and he was reared to mature years
on the farm on which he now resides. He received his elementary education
in the district schools of Wayne township and afterward entered the Ohio
Wesleyan University, at Delaware, where he continued his studies for two years.
After his marriage he brought his bride to the old HUNTER homestead,
where he has ever since engaged in farming and stock-raising. Since
attaining to years of maturity he has given unwavering support to the principles
of the Republican party, and for two years, from 1891 until 1893, he served as a
justice of the peace. Later, to fill out an unexpired term, he was elected
to represent his district in the Seventieth General Assembly, and in the
following year, in 1895, he was re-elected to that important position.
Since retiring from the legislature he has served as a justice of the peace.
The marriage of Mr. HUNTER was celebrated in 1873, when Miss Emma
ROBINSON became his wife. She was born in Highland county, Ohio,
August 1, 1853, a daughter of the Rev. J.M. and Mary M. (KETTLEMAN)
ROBINSON The former was a prominent minister in the
Methodist Episcopal church, and for two years he labored in what is now known as
the Grace Methodist Episcopal church at Urbana. His death occurred in
1883, when he had reached the age of fifty-nine years, but he is still survived
by his wife. The family is a prominent one in this locality and its
members are noted for their longevity, the maternal grandfather of Mrs.
HUNTER having reached the age of ninety-seven years, and her paternal
grandfather was ninety-four years old at the time of his death. One
daughter, Mabel, has come to brighten and bless the home of our subject and his
wife. Mr. HUNTER is identified with the Masonic fraternity, holding
membership in the blue lodge and chapter at North Lewisburg and in the council
and commandery at Urbana, and he is also a member of the Junior Order of the
United American Mechanics. Both he and his wife are members of the
Methodist Episcopal church at Mingo, in which he has long served as a trustee
and steward and has been superintendent of the Sunday school.

Middleton, pp 858-859: Thomas and Nancy (JOHNSON)
HUNTER, the former of whom was born in Greenbriar county, Virginia, and
the latter in Guernsey county, this state, were among the most useful and
influential residents of the Mingo neighborhood at that time. Thomas HUNTER
was but a boy when his parents, Nathaniel and Ann HUNTER, natives of
Scotland, came from Virginia to Ohio in 1820 and settled in Logan county, where
they established their home and where they spent the remainder of their lives,
Nathaniel HUNTER becoming a substantial farmer. He and his wife
reared their children in the faith of the Methodist church. There were six
of these children, Alexander, Jane, Thomas, John, Elizabeth and Samuel.
Thomas HUNTER grew up in the Mingo valley and from the days of his
boyhood gave much attention to educational affairs. He became a prosperous
farmer and was one of the founders of Delaware College, to the funds of which he
as a liberal contributor. He was an earnest Methodist and gave liberally
to the establishment of churches, both for white and colored worshipers, and was
for years one of the leaders of the Methodist church at Mingo. He was one
of the first four persons to vote the Abolition ticket in this section of the
state and during ante-bellum days was an acknowledged leader of the Abolition
forces throughout this part of the state, ever helpful in the cause of the
freedmen. Thomas HUNTER was twice married. His first wife,
Mary EVANS, died eight years after marriage, leaving two children, both
of whom are now deceased. In 1840 he married, secondly, Nancy JOHNSON,
who was born in Guernsey county, this state, daughter of James and Margaret JOHNSON,
natives of that same county, who later became early settlers and substantial
farmers of the Mingo neighborhood in this county. James JOHNSON and
wife were the parents of five children, Nancy, Elizabeth, Margaret, William and
Isaac. To Thomas and Nancy (JOHNSON) HUNTER seven children
were born, of whom Mrs. RUSSELL was the second in order of birth,
the others being as follow: Margaret, deceased; Sara E., wife of Col. M.L.
DEMPSEY, of Cleveland, Ohio; Frances, now deceased, who was the wife of
Leroy WRIGHT, of Vermont; Thomas, former representative in the
Legislature from this district, who married Emma ROBINSON, of Marion,
this state, and is now living the life of a retired farmer; Hale, a former
well-known lawyer at Urbana, who is now practicing his profession at Cleveland,
and Agnes, now deceased, who was the wife of Marion GUTHRIDGE, a
well-known merchant at Mingo.

Middleton, pp 857ff: Simeon L. RUSSELL.
The older residents of the Mingo neighborhood in the northern part of this
county have not forgotten Simeon L. RUSSELL, who in the latter
sixties was a merchant at Mingo and for some years afterward a farmer in
that community, who later moved to Cleveland, where he died in the summer of
1878. His widow, who is still living, for years a resident of North
Lewisburg, this county, is a native of this part of the state, and retains
very vivid recollections of the earlier days in this section. Simeon
L. RUSSELL was born in Belmont county, over in the eastern part of
Ohio, August 15, 1841, son of Wesley and Edith RUSSELL, both of whom
were born in that same county and both of Virginian parentage, their
respective parents having been early settlers of that county, moving over
there from Virginia in pioneer days. Wesley RUSSELL was a
substantial farmer and he and his wife were the parents of thirteen
children, eleven of whom grew to maturity and four of whom are still living,
namely: Luther, who is living near Mingo, this county; Everett, of
Iola, Kansas; Jeremiah, who continues to live in Belmont county, Ohio, and
Nora, of Iola, Kansas. Reared on the home farm in Belmont county,
Simeon L. RUSSELL received his schooling in the common schools of his
home county and was living there when the Civil War broke out. He
enlisted for service in 1862, in behalf of the Union, and went to the front
as a member of Company B, One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Regiment, Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, in the army of General Grant, and with that command
served until the close of the war. Upon the completion of his military
service, in 1865, Mr. RUSSELL came over into this part of the state
and located at Mingo, in this county, where he engaged in the mercantile
business. Two years later, in 1867, he married and after being engaged
in merchandising for three years, rented a farm in the Mingo neighborhood
and was there engaged in farming for five years, at the end of which time he
moved up to Cleveland and in that vicinity became actively engaged in
cultivating a vineyard and was thus engaged until his death on July 26,
1878, he then lacking less than a month of being thirty-seven years of
age. Though reared a Quaker, Mr. RUSSELL died in the faith of
the Methodist church. On October 8, 1867, Simeon L. RUSSELL
was united in marriage to Anna M. HUNTER, who was born in the Mingo
valley on September 27, 1842, a daughter of Thomas and Nancy (JOHNSON)
HUNTER, the former of whom was born in Greenbriar county, Virginia,
and the latter in Guernsey county, this state, who were among the most
useful and influential residents of the Mingo neighborhood at that
time. Thomas HUNTER was but a boy when his parents, Nathaniel
and Ann HUNTER, natives of Scotland, came from Virginia to Ohio in
1820 and settled in Logan county, where they established their home and
where they spent the remainder of their lives, Nathaniel HUNTER
becoming a substantial farmer. He and his wife reared their children
in the faith of the Methodist church. There were six of these
children, Alexander, Jane, Thomas, John, Elizabeth and Samuel. Thomas HUNTER
grew up in the Mingo valley and from the days of his boyhood gave much
attention to educational affairs. He became a prosperous farmer and
was one of the founders of Delaware College, to the funds of which he as a
liberal contributor. He was an earnest Methodist and gave liberally to
the establishment of churches, both for white and colored worshipers, and
was for years one of the leaders of the Methodist church at Mingo. He
was one of the first four persons to vote the Abolition ticket in this
section of the state and during ante-bellum days was an acknowledged leader
of the Abolition forces throughout this part of the state, ever helpful in
the cause of the freedmen. Thomas HUNTER was twice
married. His first wife, Mary EVANS, died eight years after
marriage, leaving two children, both of whom are now deceased. In 1840
he married, secondly, Nancy JOHNSON, who was born in Guernsey county,
this state, daughter of James and Margaret JOHNSON, natives of that
same county, who later became early settlers and substantial farmers of the
Mingo neighborhood in this county. James JOHNSON and wife were
the parents of five children, Nancy, Elizabeth, Margaret, William and
Isaac. To Thomas and Nancy (JOHNSON) HUNTER seven
children were born, of whom Mrs. RUSSELL was the second in
order of birth, the others being as follow: Margaret, deceased; Sara
E., wife of Col. M.L. DEMPSEY, of Cleveland, Ohio; Frances, now
deceased, who was the wife of Leroy WRIGHT, of Vermont; Thomas,
former representative in the Legislature from this district, who married
Emma ROBINSON, of Marion, this state, and is now living the life of a
retired farmer; Hale, a former well-known lawyer at Urbana, who is now
practicing his profession at Cleveland, and Agnes, now deceased, who was the
wife of Marion GUTHRIDGE, a well-known merchant at Mingo. To
Simeon L. and Anna M. (HUNTER) RUSSELL were born three sons,
Harry C., Frank G. and Kirk L., all of whom are living. Harry C.
Russell, formerly a farmer in the Mingo neighborhood, is now keeping hotel
at Mingo. he married May McCARNEY, of Mingo, and he and his
wife take an active part in the general affairs of that pleasant
village. Frank G. RUSSELL married Myrtle SPRINKLE, of
Huntington, Indiana, and for the past eleven years has been engaged as
traffic manager for the International Harvester Company, with headquarters
at Akron, this state, where he and his wife make their home. Kirk L. RUSSELL,
who married Leola GILLILAND, is now living at Washington, D.C., where
he has been connected with the postoffice department for the post nine or
ten years. He formerly was a telegraph operator at Mingo and was
afterward for some time an operator in the United States naval
services. Mrs. RUSSELL returned to her old home at Mingo not
long after her husband's death and has ever since made her home in this
county, now a resident of North Lewisburg. She has been a member of
the Methodist church since she was sixteen years of age and ahs ever taken
an interested part in church work, as well as in the general good works and
the various social and cultural activities of her home community. She
was educated at Delaware College and for ten years before her marriage and
for several years afterward taught school in her home neighborhood, many of
the then youngsters of that community having cause to hold her in grateful
remembrance. Mrs. RUSSELL's recollections of former days in the
Mingo valley are clear and distinct and there are few thereabout who have a
more accurate knowledge of the history of that region since the days of the
middle of the past century than she.

Middleton's History of Champaign County,
Ohio, 1911, pp. 168-169: Marion GUTHRIDGE, a well-known
merchant at Mingo, an honored veteran of the Civil War, for many years
treasurer of Wayne township and for a half century owner and operator of the
saw-mill at Mingo, is a native son of Champaign county and has lived there
all his life. He was born on a farm one mile south of Cable, in Wayne
township, September 20, 1848, son and only child of William and Polly (ANSWORTH)
GUTHRIDGE, both of whom also were natives of this county and here
spent all their lives. William GUTHRIDGE was also born in Wayne
township, a son of the Rev. John GUTHRIDGE, a farmer and pioneer
preacher of the Baptist church and one of the earliest and most influential
settlers in the northern part of this county, further and fitting mention of
whom is made in the historical section of this work in the chapter relating
to the church history of the county. Reared on a farm, William GUTHRIDGE
became a farmer in turn and thus remained all his life, becoming one of the
sturdy and well-to-do farmers of Wayne township. Several years after
his marriage he moved to Cable and there lived the rest of his life,
operating his farm from that village. Marion GUTHRIDGE, only
son of his parents, was but three years of age when his parents moved to
Cable and he received his schooling in the schools of that pleasant
village. Though but a boy during the progress of the Civil War, he
enlisted for the hundred-day service as a member of Company F, One Hundred
and Thirty-fourth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and upon the completion
of that service began working in the E.C. WILLIAMS saw-mill at
Mingo. A few years later he bought that mill and for fifty years
continued as owner of the same, during forty-two years of which period he
operated the saw personally, never missing a day while the mill was in
operation. In 1916 Mr. GUTHRIDGE sold the mill and has since
been engaged in the general merchandise business at Mingo. The
saw-mill he owned and operated for a half century was established in 1864
and is the first and only saw-mill ever operated at Mingo. Upon
selling his mill Mr. GUTHRIDGE erected a store building at Mingo and
stocked the same with a line of general merchandise, now conducting there
one of the neatest and most up-to-date village stores in this part of the
state, and is doing very well in his business venture. Mr. GUTHRIDGE
is a stanch Republican, an undeviating supporter of the principles of that
party, and for seventeen years and six months served his home township as
township trustee. He also for some years was a member of the local
school board and in other ways has unselfishly contributed of his time and
energies to the public service. In 1873, Marion GUTHRIDGE was
united in marriage to Agnes HUNTER, daughter of Thomas and Nancy HUNTER,
and to that union were born three children, two of whom are still living,
Edgar, who married Edith CALLAHAN and is living at Dayton, Ohio, and
Walter, a member of the United States Signal Corps, now stationed at
Seattle, Washington. Upon the death of the mother of these children,
Mr. GUTHRIDGE married Ella Z. ROBINSON, daughter of Jesse and
Mary ROBINSON, which union has been without issue. Mr. and Mrs.
GUTHRIDGE are members of the Methodist Episcopal church at Mingo and
take an active part in church affairs, as well as in other local good works,
Mr. GUTHRIDGE having been a member of the board of stewards of the
church for more than a quarter of a century. There is no man in the
northern part of the county who has a wider acquaintance than he and he has
ever stood for progress and good government in that community.

Centenniel Biographical History of
Champaign County, OH, 1902, pp. 535-537: For a number of years an
active factor in the industrial interests in Mingo, Marion GUTHRIDGE,
through his diligence, perseverance and business ability, has acquired a
handsome competence and has also contributed to the general prosperity
through the conduct of an enterprise which has furnished employment to
many. A native son of Wayne township, Champaign county, Ohio, his
birth here occurred on the 20th of September, 1848. His mother, Polly AINSWORTH
GUTHRIDGE, is a native of Champaign county, Ohio, where she is still
living at the age of seventy-four years, and a daughter of William and Fanny
(KIMBLE) GUTHRIDGE, William being born in Virginia, while his
mother was born in Vermont. Marion GUTHRIDGE has spent his
entire life in the county of his nativity, and in its district schools
received his early educational training, while later he became a student in
the high school of Cable. When the Civil War was inaugurated he was
but a lad of fifteen years, but nobly offered his services in defense of the
starry banner, becoming a member of Company F, One Hundred and Thirty-fourth
Ohio Volunteer Infantry, enlisting on the 2d of May, 1864. He served
through his term of enlistment as a private and at its close he received an
honorable discharge at Columbus, Ohio on the 1st of September 1864.
Returning thence to his mother's home at Cable, he remained with her for a
time and in the spring of 1965 removed to Mingo, where for the following
three years he found employment in a sawmill. On the expiration of
that period, in 1868, he purchased the property and has since conducted the
mill, which is now the largest of its kind in the county, and in addition to
this valuable property he is also the owner of a farm in Wayne township,
which he rents. In the year 1873 Mr. GUTHRIDGE was united in
marriage to Agnes HUNTER, a daughter of Thomas HUNTER, and to
this union were born three children, - Edgar, who married Edith CALLAHAN
and is the efficient station agency in Rittman, Wayne county, Ohio; Thomas,
who died in infancy; and Walter, of Basler, Wyhoming, where he is working as
an operator on the Union Pacific Railroad. The mother was called to
the home beyond on the 6th of March 1883, and on the 27th of May, 1885, Mr. GUTHRIDGE
was united in marriage to Ella Z. ROBINSON, a daughter of the
Rev. J.M. ROBINSON, a member of the Cincinnati conference for
twenty-eight years, and now deceased. Mrs. GUTHRIDGE is the
second child and the second daughter in order of birth in her parents'
family, and she was born at Mount Repose, Clermont county, Ohio. Mr. GUTHRIDGE
is a stanch supporter of the Republican principles, and for eleven years has
served his township as its treasurer. He is a member of John Briney
Post, G.A.R., of North Lewisburg, and is also identified with the Masonic
fraternity, holding membership in the blue lodge and chapter in North
Lewisburg, and in the commandery at Urbana. He is also a member of the
Junior Order of United American Mechanics. Both he and his wife are
worthy and active members of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he has
served as a recording secretary for ten years and for a long period has been
the superintendent of the Sunday-school.

History of Champaign County, Beers, pp. 816-817:
Nathaniel C. HUNTER, farmer; P.O. West Liberty, Logan Co.,; born on farm,
"Forest Home," where he now resides, Nov. 1, 1825; is the son of John and Jane
P. (HUMPHREY) HUNTER. He is a native of Virginia, and she of
PA. The grandfather, Nathaniel, was a native of England or the north part
of Ireland. The grandmother, Hester Ann (PORTER), a native of North
Ireland; emigrated to America near the close of the eighteenth century, settling
in the State of Virginia. In 1811, they came to Ohio, bringing four sons
and four daughters, and located in Madison Co., where they remained till 1814,
when they removed to Champaign Co., having previously, or about 1812, bought a
large tract of land embracing the same land upon which the grandson, Nathaniel,
our subject, now lives. Here they located and spent the remainder of their
life; being among the early pioneers and enduring the many hardships to which
they were subject. John, the father of our subject, spent his whole life
in this vicinity, and was identified with much of the early history of this
settlement, helping build and organize the churches and schools of that early
day. He was married in 1822; they had six children, three now survive -
Nathaniel C., Washington C., and William H. The latter, during the war,
raised a company of men and entered the 12th O.V.C.; was promoted to Major and
served through the war. Soon after he went South and entered upon the work
of raising cotton; he was very unsuccessful, losing all his property. He
was elected Sheriff of the county, then Clerk of Court and Representative to the
Legislature, and is now United States Commissioner at Montgomery, Ala.
Washington C. is now in Michigan, an extensive fruit-grower. Mr. John
HUNTER was a man who gave but limited attention to political matters; was,
however, a prominent man among the people, and held many offices of the township
with fidelity and trust. He was a great and active worker in the M.E.
Church, filling most of the important positions in the church up to the time of
his death. He died Feb. 28, 1878; his wife died July 15, 1877. Our
subject was married May 17, 1849, to Miss Helen M., daughter of Graham and
Hannah (COCHRAN) PURDY, natives of Vermont. They had three
children - John G., Albert L. and William P. Mr. HUNTER first
located upon the farm where he now lives, remaining here about three years; then
went to West Liberty, Logan Co., and entered upon the mercantile business, in
which he continued about six years, doing a very successful trade. During
this time he was a partner in building the first steam saw-mill and the first
foundry ever in West Liberty; then he returned to his farm, "Forest Home," where
he has since resided. He has a beautiful home, well improved, and is a
successful farmer; has several other pieces of land, owning in all 385 acres of
land. His wife died April 30, 1880, after a loved companionship of nearly
thirty-one years. Mr. HUNTER, though a very prominent man and
farmer, never desired office and, though sometimes forced to accept some
township offices, yet generally avoids them as much as possible; but, like his
father, he is a very active and prominent man in the M.E. Church, holding all
the important positions therein, not for popularity, but from his love for and
zeal in the Christian work. He is an earnest Sabbath-school worker, being
a prominent pioneer organizer of Sabbath-schools throughout this section.
He has also been an active supporter of free schools, and a great worker in
promoting education. We can safely say that when Mr. HUNTER's
course of life is run, the community and the church will lose an ardent friend,
an honored and faithful worker.

Middleton's History of Champaign County, Ohio,
pp. 332ff: Nathaniel C. HUNTER. The late Nathaniel C.
HUNTER, for years one of the best-known and most substantial farmers and
landowners of Salem township, this county, who died in 1908 at his home in
Urbana, where he had been living retired from the active labors of the farm for
more than twenty years, was a native son of Champaign county and all his life
was spent here. He was born on the old HUNTER homestead place in
Salem township on November 1, 1825, son of John and Jane (HUMPHRIES)
HUNTER, prominent residents of that part of the county, whose last days were
spent there. John HUNTER was a son of Nathaniel and Anne (PORTER)
HUNTER, natives of Ireland, who were among the very earliest settlers in
the northern part of this county and who took an influential part in the work of
creating proper social conditions in the formative period of that now
well-established and prosperous farming community. [Next section on
Nathaniel and Ann is documented in the Research Record for them above]
John HUNTER was twelve or thirteen years of age when the family took up
their residence in this county and he grew to manhood on the home farm in Salem
township and continued farming there all his life. He married Jane
HUMPHRIES, member of one of the pioneer families in that neighborhood, and
to that union three children were born, Nathaniel, Washington C. and William H.
HUNTER. Washington C. HUNTER was born on September 15, 1827,
and grew to manhood on the home farm in Salem township. He married Agnes
DUEL and after spending some years farming in this county went to
Pasadena, California, where he engaged in the lumber business and where he is
still living. He and his wife were the parents of two sons, both of whom
are now deceased. Major William H. HUNTER, who gained his title
while serving as a soldier of the Union during the Civil War, was born on
September 29, 1840, and also grew to manhood in this county. He married a
McDONALD and made his home in Salem township and in West Liberty until
late in life, when he went to Birmingham, Alabama, where he engaged in the
real-estate business and where he spent his last days, his death occurring there
on July 31, 1904. Nathaniel C. HUNTER was reared on the farm which
his grandfather had opened in Salem township and completed his schooling at
Delaware, this state. For a time he was engaged in the mercantile business
at Urbana and at West Liberty, but later returned to the old home farm in Salem
township and there established his home, engaging in farming there until 1885,
in which year he retired from the active labors of the farm and moved to Urbana,
where he spent his last days, his death occurring there on February 18, 1908.
During his many years of residence on the farm Mr. HUNTER was one of the
most active and influential farmers in that part of the country. He was a
stanch [sic] Republican and held various township offices, giving to his public
service his most earnest thought. He was a great reader and kept fully
informed on matters of current interest and was particularly interested in
matters of local historical interest. In this connection he wrote a
history of the Mt. Tabor Methodist Episcopal church, which to this day is
regarded as the most authoritative history of that church and the greater part
of which is reproduced in the historical section of this work. For
sixty-five years Mr. HUNTER was a member of that church and during fifty
years of that time was the superintendent of the Sunday school, the last eight
years being superintendent in Urbana. He also held all other offices in
the church at one time and another and took great pleasure in the work of the
church. He was a busy man, energetic and practical and his farming and
other interests prospered under his prudent management, so that he came to be
recognized as one of the Champaign county's most substantial citizens. Mr.
HUNTER was twice married. It was on May 17, 1849, that he was
united in marriage to Helen M. PURDY, who was born at Erie City,
Pennsylvania, and who died on April 20, 1880. To that union three sons
were born, John G., Albert L. and William P. Albert L. HUNTER was
born on August 4, 1852, and remained a farmer on the old home place in Salem
township, where he spent his last days, his death occurring there in August,
1909. He married Mary Frances NORTH and to that union four children
were born, namely: Grace, who married Quincy YOCUM, of Concord
township, this county; Edna, wife of Alva KISER, of Troy, this state;
Fern P. who married the Rev. Milton SWISHER and died in Iowa, and Elsie,
who married Daniel LEAMMAN, a farmer living near St. Paris, this county.
William P. HUNTER was born on March 12, 1855, and died at San Antonio,
Texas, January 5, 1882. John G. HUNTER, who was born on June 17,
1850, moved to Michigan, where he became a farmer and where he spent his last
days, his death occurring there on January 9, 1916. He married Eva
CROOKSTON and was the father of two children, Maud, wife of John CLAPPER,
of Bay City, Michigan, and Charles W., who married Marybelle WILCOX and
is now living at Toledo, Ohio. On January 20, 1883, Nathaniel C. HUNTER
married, secondly, Mrs. Anna Eliza (SEAMAN) ENOCH, widow of Henry
ENOCH, of West Liberty, who died in 1858. Since the death of her
husband, Mrs. HUNTER has continued to make her home in Urbana, where she
is very comfortably situated. She reared two nieces, Cora and Lavinia
SEAMAN, who continue to make their home with her. Mrs. HUNTER
was born at Xenia, this state, September 2, 1832, a daughter of Lewis and
Lavinia (SMITH) SEAMAN, the former of whom was born in Frederick
county, Virginia, in 1805, son of Jonas and Catherine (SHEETS) SEAMAN,
natives of that same county, who came to Ohio with their family in 1810 and
located at Chillicothe, a year later moving to Clinton county, where they spent
the remainder of their lives, Jonas SEAMAN dying there in 1836.
Jonas SEAMAN and wife were the parents of eight children, Jonathan,
Philip, George, Lewis, Jonah, Eliza, Joseph and Miles. Lewis SEAMAN
became a blacksmith and left Clinton county to locate at Xenia, where he
remained engaged in that vocation until 1836, when he bought a farm in Logan
county, established his home there and spent the remainder of his life. He
was an active worker in the Mt. Tabor Methodist Episcopal church and helped
build two churches. He and his wife, Lavinia SMITH, were the
parents of six children, those besides Mrs. HUNTER being as follow:
Josiah, who died at the age of four years; William, who for some time farmed in
Illinois, but later returned to the old home place in Logan county, where he
died, leaving a widow, Frances BEBEE, and one child, a daughter,
Josephine; Elisha, a veteran of the Civil War, who served as a member of Company
A, Sixty-sixth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, formerly and for years a
farmer and now living at Columbus, this state, who had been twice married, his
first wife, Nettie VOTAW, a native of Indiana, having died on February 7,
1881, leaving three daughters, Nettie, Cora and Lavinia, after which he married
Nellie FISHER, also of Indiana, and by that union has three children,
Anna, Bertha and Lewis; Maria Louise, who married James STANTON and is
now deceased, and Martha, who married William WINDER and died in 1894 at
Urbana, this county, leaving one daughter, Florence.

Middleton's History of Champaign County,
Ohio, pp.380-381: Albert L. HUNTER. The late Albert
L. HUNTER, who died at his home in Salem township in 1909, and whose
widow is now living at Kings Creek, was born in that township and there
spent all his life, becoming one of the most substantial farmers in that
community. He was born on a pioneer farm in that township in 1845, son
of Nathaniel C. and Helen M. (PURDY) HUNTER, prominent
residents of that community, the former of whom was also born there, on the
old HUNTER homestead, son of John and Jane (HUMPHRIES) HUNTER,
the former of whom was born in Virginia, son of Nathaniel and Ann (PORTER)
HUNTER, natives of Ireland, who came to this county [country] after
their marriage and settled in Virginia, where they remained until 1910
[1810], when they came to this state and after a brief residence in Madison
county came over into Champaign county and established their home in Salem
township, where they spent the remainder of their lives. In a memorial
sketch relating to the late Nathaniel C. HUNTER, father of the
subject of this memorial sketch, presented elsewhere in this volume, there
is set out at considerable length something of the history of the HUNTER
family in this county and to that interesting narrative the reader is
respectfully referred for additional details in this connection.
Reared on the old home place, Albert L. HUNTER received his early
schooling in the school s of that neighborhood and supplemented the same by
a course in the college at Delaware. From the days of his boyhood he
had been a valuable aid to his father in the labors of the farm and after
his marriage in the late fall of 1876 he established his home on the old
home place and there continued farming for five years, at the end of which
time he took a farm in the vicinity of Cable, where he remained for nine
years. he then moved back to the old HUNTER farm, bought two
hundred acres of the same, and there spent the remainder of his life, his
death occurring there in August, 1909, he then being sixty-two years of
age. Albert L. HUNTER was an excellent farmer and did well at
his farming operations, developing a fine farm. He was
Republican and ever gave a good citizen's attention to local political
affairs, but had been a seeker after public office. He was a member of
the Mt. Tabor Methodist Episcopal church, as is his widow, and took a proper
part in all neighborhood good works.
In November, 1876, Albert L. HUNTER was united in marriage to Mary
Frances NORTH, who also was born in Salem township, on the old NORTH
homestead, a daughter of Abel and Elizabeth (HERR) NORTH, the
latter of whom is still living, now making her home at Kings Creek.
The late Abel NORTH and his wife were the parents of ten children, of
whom Mts. HUNTER was the first-born, the others being as
follow: Lucy, who married J.S. EWING and is now deceased;
Adelaide and Adrelina, twins, the former of whom married J.N. FIELDS
and is now living at Cleveland, and the latter of whom as burned to death
when twelve years of age; Sarah Elizabeth, who died at the age of seventeen
years; Charles L., who is now farming the old NORTH home place; Cora,
now deceased, who was the wife of Prof. John HAMILTON, superintendent
of the city schools at Cincinnati; William NORTH, a prominent
attorney at Cincinnati; Grant, who died in youth, and Birdie, wife of Prof.
D.C. BRYANT, principal of schools at Columbus.
To Albert L. and Mary Frances (NORTH) HUNTER, four children
were born, namely: Grace, who married Quinn M. YOCUM, a farmer,
of Salem township, and has two children, daughters, Helen M. and Margaret
E.; Edna, who married Alva KISER, of Troy, this state, and has
three children, Truman A., Paul and Mary V.; Fern P., born on November 22,
1882, who married the Rev. Milton S. SWISHER, a clergyman of the
Methodist Episcopal church, now living in Illinois, and died on November 13,
1905, leaving one child, a daughter, Dorothy, who is now making her home
with her grandmother, Mrs. HUNTER, and Sarah Elsa, who married Daniel
C. LEMON, a farmer, living in the neighborhood of St. Paris, in this
county, and has two children, Mildred and Donald. Besides these
children, Mr. and Mrs. HUNTER have an adopted son, John HUNTER,
who is now farming the home place. Some time after the death of her
husband, Mrs.. HUNTER moved to Kings Creek where she is now living
and where she is very comfortably and very pleasantly situated.

- Middleton's History of Champaign County, Ohio, p.
890ff: William R. YOCOM. A venerable agriculturist, now
living in retirement in Wayne township, being now in his eighty-third year,
is William R. YOCOM, who has always been a well-known and highly
esteemed citizen of Champaign county. He was born December 12, 1834,
in the above-named township and is therefore one of the oldest native-born
citizens in the county, which he has lived to see develop from a pioneer
settlement to one of the leading farming sections of the country. The
first member of his family in America was Solomon YOCOM of Virginia,
who removed to Kentucky in 1802, settling near Mount Sterling; and in 1820
came to Ohio, locating at Urbana. After buying horses and other live
stock there for some time he settled two miles east of Granite Hill and
opened up Sulphur Springs, clearing and developing the land round about that
place. His first building was a log cabin. Later he moved to
Urbana on account of the prevalence of malaria at Sulphur Springs. He
finally bought land near George's Chapel, and later died while living with
his son, John W. YOCOM, his death occurring there in 1855. His
wife had preceded him to the grave in 1838. He was a harnessmaker and
saddlemaker by trade. He was also a local preacher and often preached
to the Indians in the early days, with Sol HINKLE. He was a
Methodist. Seven children were born to Solomon YOCOM and wife,
namely: Kate, Nancy, Sallie M., John Wesley, Betsy, Caroline and Lucy
Ann. Kate YOCOM married John MILLER and three children
were born to them, Solomon, who married Pruetta STUDEBAKER; Nancy,
who married Peter KENNY, and Robert. Nancy YOCOM married
Levi KING, and they were parents of two children, Polly, who married
Daniel BAYLOR, of Union township, and after his death married Thomas MIDDLETON,
of Wayne township, and Charles K., who lives in Springfield, Ohio.
Sallie M. YOCOM married Reuben ADAMS and these children were
born to them: Eliza, who married Levi ELLIOT, a soldier in the
Union army, who established his home in this county; Mary Ann, who married
John W. DILTZ, who established his home in Union township, this
county; Caroline, who married Alex MILLER and located in Goshen
township, this county; John W., who died when young; Lucy Ann, who married
James EDGE and moved to Indiana; Solomon, who lived at Mutual, and
who was killed in a saw-mill; Sarah, who now lives in London, Ohio, the
widow of Andrew J. STONE, a soldier in Company C, Sixty-sixth
Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, during the Civil War, who died in
December, 1898.
John Wesley YOCOM, the only son in the family, is mentioned in
succeeding paragraphs in this article. Betsey YOCOM married
John WORRELL, who located in Urbana, and they had the following
children: James, who was a machinist in Springfield, Ohio, and later
in Richmond, Indiana; Frank, who was a soldier in the Civil War, and who
died at Memphis, Tennessee, after serving in the war; Adam, also a soldier
in the Civil War and a locomotive engineer, who died in Indiana; William,
also a Union soldier, and a locomotive engineer, also lived in Indiana;
Moses B., a blacksmith, who served in the Union army and after the war
located in Ohio. Caroline YOCOM married James BAILEY, of
Urbana, Ohio, and had one child, Charles, who lived with his grandfather,
Solomon YOCOM, until he was twenty years old, then went to Madison
county, Ohio. He married Sallie Crawford. Lucy Ann YOCOM,
the seventh and youngest child, married Davidson BAYLESS, a farmer of
Union township, this county, and they became parents of four children:
Susie, widow of David SYLER, of Miami county, Ohio, now making her
home in the city of Cleveland; Lemuel, who married Martha CRAIG and
located first in Union township, this county, but now makes his home in
Logan county, Ohio; Luisa, who married John SYLER, of Miami
county, Ohio, and who, as well as her husband, is now deceased, and Gould
who lives in Michigan.
John Wesley YOCOM, father of the immediate subject of this sketch,
was the only son of Solomon YOCOM and wife, and the fifth child in
order of birth. He was born in Kentucky in 1805. He spent his
boyhood in the Blue Grass state, being fifteen years of age when his parents
brought him to Champaign county, in 1820. He helped clear and develop
the home farm here, working hard and enduring the usual privations of
pioneers. He remained at home until 1827, when he married Susanna WATSON.
She was a native of the vicinity of London, Ohio, and a daughter of David
and Betsey (HELVESTINE) WATSON. David WATSON was
born in 1770. When a boy he followed the sea six or seven years, later
settling in Virginia, finally came to Madison county, Ohio where he was one
of the first settlers, locating southwest of London, where he cleared and
developed a farm in the wilderness, when settlers were few and trading
centers far remote. He was a soldier in the War of 1812. He and
his wife both died in Madison county, this state. Their children were
named as follows: Susanna, born in 1808; Jesse, who lived on a farm in
Madison county; Betsy, who married Joseph SURVES, who established his
home in Madison county; Samuel, who married Nancy CRIDER and
established his home in Madison county; Isabella, who married Samuel CRIDER,
of Madison county; Stephen, who married Alma DUNGAN, and they also
lived in Madison county; David who married Elizabeth JONES and also
lived in Madison county; Mrs. Josephine BROWN, also of Madison
county, and the two youngest children, daughters, who died in infancy.
John Wesley YOCOM had little opportunity to obtain an education,
attending for a short time the pioneer rural schools. After his
marriage he moved to the old camp ground in Champaign county, where he lived
four years; then to a farm in Wayne township, where he spent the rest of his
life. His widow survived until November 20, 1892. He became one
of the leading farmers and stockmen of his locality. He was
Republican. He and his wife were members of the Union Methodist
Episcopal church, which congregation often held services in their home
before the church was built, and he was active in the affairs of the
church. His family consisted of eight children: James W., Mary
Jane, Hester, William R., Caroline, Isabella, Louisiana and Emily.
James W. YOCOM, who was for many years a teacher in the schools of
Union township and who died in 1898, married Mrs. Hannah (MILLICE) ELSWORTH
and had five children, namely: Viola, who married James PERRY,
of Union township; John, who married Lulu REAMS, also of Union
township Elmer, who married Fannie CORBETT and lives in Union
township Alfred, who married a Miss BELTZ and lives in Marion, Ohio,
and Jesse, who died when fourteen years of age. Mary Jane YOCOM,
who died in 1894, was the wife of John BEST. They established
their home in Wayne township, this county, and three children were born to
them, namely; Enola, who married Statin MIDDLETON and lives in Wayne
township; Carrie, wife of David PERRY, of Columbus, Ohio, and John
Wesley, of Wayne township who married a Miss SHAUL, now
deceased. Hester YOCOM died in 1845. William R. YOCOM,
the immediate subject of this sketch, was the fourth child in order of
birth. Caroline YOCOM married O.S. BARBER and lives in
Urbana. Isabella YOCOM died unmarried in 1858. Louisiana YOCOM,
now deceased, was the wife of William YEAZELL. Emily YOCOM
married Benjamin MILLICE and lives near Mechanicsburg. Mr. and
Mrs. MILLICE have two children, Cora, who married William ROMANIE,
of Mechanicsburg, and William, who married Lulu MOODY, and lives near
Mechanicsburg.
William R. YOCOM grew to manhood on the home farm in his native
county and attended the old-time subscription schools in his community,
receiving a limited education, walking three miles to the school house,
which was of logs, about one-half the way being through the heavy
woods. He has become a well-informed man on general topics by wide
miscellaneous reading. he remained at home, assisting with the work on
the farm, until he was twenty-seven years old. On March 26, 1862, he
married Martha CHEDISTER, who was born in Wayne township, this
county, a daughter of Holdridge and Mary CHEDISTER, pioneers of that
township. Mrs. YOCOM lived only six months after her marriage,
dying on October 7, 1862, and Mr. YOCOM subsequently married Margaret
LINVILLE, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1849, and whose parents
brought her to Champaign county when she was eight years old. She was
a daughter of Thomas LINVILLE and wife. To this second marriage
four children were born, namely: Quinn M., who is farming in Mad River
township, this county, and who married Grace HUNTER and has two
children, Helen and Margaret; Jason C., who is farming in Union township,
and who married Elvie JOHNSON and has three children, William H.,
Robert and Clyde; Jesse, who died unmarried at the age of twenty-two years,
and Samuel L., who lives at home, operating the home farm, and who married
Laura COOPER and has one son, Raymond.
After his marriage William R. YOCOM located near the old home farm in
Wayne township, buying one hundred acres. Not long after his second
marriage he bought the farm on which he now lives. He was a man of
industry, good management and sound judgment and, prospering with advancing
years he has become the owner of one thousand acres of excellent farming
land in Wayne and Union townships, and has long been regarded as among the
leading general farmers and stock raisers in Champaign and adjoining
counties. he farmed on an extensive scale for many years, but now that
old age has come on he has turned the operations of his great estate over to
shi son, for the most part. He always raised large herds of live stock
and fed a number of carloads of stock annually for the market, dealing
especially in hogs, sheep and horses. He has an attractive and
commodious residence in the midst of picturesque surroundings, and numerous
modern and substantial outbuildings; in fact, his lands are well improved in
every respect, everything about his place denoting thrift and good
management.
Mr. YOCOM is a Republican, but he has never been especially active in
political affairs, nor aspired to public leadership. However, he has
served as township trustee and as a member of the local school board.
He has been a member of the local Methodist Episcopal church for the past
sixty-eight years, and has been a liberal supporter of the church and active
in its general affairs, having served as steward and class leader.
Mr. YOCOM is exceptionally well preserved for one of his advanced
years. He has lived a careful and abstemious life, been watchful of
his relations with the world in general and lived an honest, upright and
clean life. His hearing and sight are good and he has a remarkable
memory; in fact, he has retained all his faculties. He is widely and
favorably known throughout the county.
