in the East and came to what is now Fulton County, arriving in Gorham Township
May 2; he has been a citizen of this county ever since. He taught school winters
until 1858; the first spring after he came here, he was elected township clerk of
Gorham Township and was successively elected to the same office for 9 years.
He was chosen District Assessor and made the assessments in 1853. In 1836, he was
chosen School Examiner for Gorham and served until 1852, when he was chosen
County School Examiner and served for eight years. In 1856, he was elected
Justice of the Peace for Gorham Township; in 1857, he was elected Probate Judge,
which office he filled until 1870, a period of 12 years. In 1870, he was chosen
Assistant Marshal for the Northern District of Ohio, to take the census; he was
elected Justice of the Peace for Dover Township in 1870 and served until 1876;
in April 1874, he was selected as Superintendent of the Fulton County infirmary
and remained there until March 1, 1880. In 1880, he was again elected Justice
of the Peace for Dover Township. During the War, he was on the Military Committee
of this county. He was Secretary of the Agricultural Society of Fulton County for
12 years; to him are we indebted for many pages of useful history, which has
taken months and years to compile. For many years, he has been an active member
of the Masonic Fraternity and a Patron of Husbandry. And now his active pen lies
useless, at the table the chair is empty, his work in manual form is ended.
In the enterprising days of Modern Spiritualism, he became interested,
and a thorough investigation convinced him of the truthfulness of its teachings.
It became an absolute knowledge with him; he verily believed that he would enter
a higher plane of life and a grander field for the display of his intellectual
and spiritual culture. (from some old handwritten obituary biographies that were
submitted to the Fulton County, Ohio Pioneer Society in the late 1800s; submitted to this
