From Memoirs of the Miami Valley, Vol. III, 1919 pages 257/258: S. S. Glasgow, a native Ohioan and a highly respected citizen, and who is now living in comfortable retirement after many years of connection with business and agricultural interests, was born in Adams county, Ohio, June 4, 1851, a son of William B. Glasgow, a native of the same community. This is an old and honored family of Scotland, from which the city of Glasgow derives its native, and Mr. Glasgow's grandfather was one of three brothers to emigrate from that country to America at an early date, all of whom, however, spelled their names differently. The grandfather located in Rockbridge county, W. Va., and later went to Adams county, Ohio, and became a pioneer settler and later the owner of a large tract of land. He and his wife were the parents of the following children Polly, who became the wife of John Williams; Becky, who married a Mr. Ralston; Rose who also married a Mr. Ralston; Margaret, who married Robert P: McClure, a captain in the Ohio State Militia; Eliza, ! who married William P. Breckenridge, a pioneer of Adams county, who is remembered as a great church worker and possessor of a wonderful singing voice which he used to good advantage in the early days in his religious work; Robert A., a farmer of Adams county, and a pioneer breeder of Red Polled cattle; Arthur, who went to California over the plains as a "forty-niner" and met with great success in his search for gold, but when returning home was drowned; and William B. William B. Glasgow was educated in the common schools of Adams county, and passed his life as a farmer, a vocation in which he gained success, becoming the owner of several valuable properties. His first wife died without issue, and he married for his second wife Maria H. McIntire, of Adams county, who died in 1859. They became the parents of the following children: Mary Jane, who married J. J. Kane, of Brown county, Ohio; Dr. Joseph Anderson, now a retired resident of Seaman, Ohio, since 1914, in early lif! e a teacher, and a graduate, 1878, of the Cincinnati Medical college, who for fifteen years was engaged in practice in Highland county; Robert, deceased; Mary Elizabeth, who married J. G. Williams of Seaman, Ohio; William Arthur, who died at the age of twenty-two years ; and S. S., of this notice. During the days that preceded the Civil war, William B. Glasgow was a strong opponent of slavery, and was a member of the Underground Railway. He was a Republican in his political views, but in the latter years of his life was inclined toward the Prohibition party because of his unalterable belief in temperance. While he lived to the age of ninety-one years he had never taken a drink of liquor nor entered a saloon, nor had he ever sworn or used tobacco. Satisfied with his home surroundings, he did not care for travel and it is said that he never rode on a railroad train in his life. He and the members of his family were staunch members of the United Presbyterian church. S. S. Glasgow received his education in the public schools of his native com! munity and resided at home, assisting his father until his marriage, April 7, 1881, to Lathie E. McClure, of Vernon, Ky. Three children have been born to this union: Marion M., who graduated from high school at the age of eleven years, and later secured a teacher's license, went to the county seat alone and earned the money to pay his own hotel bill, entered Miami university in 1900 and received his degree of Bachelor of Arts, August 8, 1904, went to Chicago and secured a position with Sears, Roebuck & company, was subsequently with the Western Electric company and the Bagdad Lumber company as an expert accountant and head bookkeeper for five years, and for the past five years with the American Lumber company of Panama City, Fla., is a Mason and a member of the Presbyterian church; Grace G., residing with her parents, a graduate of Miami university, class of 1907, took the chair of French at the Women's college, Jacksonville, Ill., and remained three years, when her mother! 's health failing, she returned home, occasionally teaching as an extr a; and William Wellington, a graduate of Miami university, went to Chicago, where he was with the Western Electric company and Shaw Walker & company, and is now at St. Paul, Minn., with the Library Bureau company. He married Gladys Jones of Chicago, Ill., and has one child, Grace Marie. After his marriage, S. S. Glasgow settled down in Adams county and remained until 1898, being engaged in farming, saw milling and operating a threshing outfit. He then went to Marion, where for three years he was a salesman for the Huber Manufacturing company, and later traveled through Ohio and Iowa as a representative for the International Harvester company. Returning to Adams county, he farmed and dealt in implements for two years, and following this bought a farm in Oxford township, Butler county, which he conducted and operated five years. At that time he took up his residence at No. 422 E. Church street, and for four years thereafter traveled for the J. I. Case Manufacturing company! in Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky and South Dakota. After three years spent in the latter state, he retired from active labor and has since resided in his comfortable home at Oxford. Mr. Glasgow has always been a public-spirited citizen and during a period of five years acted as street commissioner in Oxford, an office to which he was elected on the Republican ticket. He is a faithful member of the Presbyterian church, having been reared in the teachings thereof, and has reared his own children in that faith. Both he and his wife are held in the warmest regard by their: neighbors and friends.

From Memoirs of the Miami Valley, Vol. III, 1919 on pages 702/703: -­ John C. Stout. Since 1911 the hardware and implement store of John C. Stout has occupied a position of importance among the business houses of College Corner, where it has grown and developed under the impetus formed by the enterprise, industry and good management of its proprietor. Mr. Stout, one of the live and energetic citizens of his community, for the welfare of which he has always been a constructive worker, also has other interests and at this time is the owner of an automobile business which he operates in conjunction with his hardware business. He was born April 29, 1871, at College Corner, a son of Ichabod and Jennie (Campbell) Stout, the former born near College Corner and the latter a native of this place, where she is still living. Ichabod Stout, who was one of the highly respected men of his community during his day, followed farming throughout his life, or until his retirement two years before his death, which occurred May 24, 1917. There were eight child! ren in the family: John C., George, Arthur, Bertha, Harry, Fred, Ruth and Ralph, the last-named of whom was at the Great Lakes Naval Training station, at Great Lakes, Ill. John C. Stout received a country school education and was reared as a farmer's son. Desiring a broader life than that offered by the agricultural atmosphere, he began selling grain and implements, and for a time operated what was known as the Rigsbee-Stout Elevator, at Bath, Ind., on the C. R. & M. railroad. After this he came to College Corner for E. C. Wright, and later became identified with the International Harvester company with which great corporation he was associated until starting his present hardware and implement business in 1911. From a modest beginning it has grown and flourished under his capable and energetic management, and at this time is one of the leading business establishments of this thriving community, commanding a patronage that extends far over the country. April 1, 1919, Mr! . Stout became through purchase the owner of the garage next door to h is place of business, which was formerly owned by Charles Kirk, and which was sold to College Corner Motor Sales company, August 8, 1919, and is being very largely patronized by the traveling public. Mr. Stout maintains an excellent reputation in business circles as a man of the highest integrity, and as a citizen his standing is equally high. He is affiliated fraternally with the Knights of Pythias, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Modern Woodmen of America, and he and the members of his family belong to the Methodist church. In 1902 he was married to Miss Lorena Summers. They are the parents of five children: Reba, a pupil in high school; Irma and Thelma, attending the graded schools; Mary E., and Opal.

Memoirs of the MIami Valley, Vl. III, 1919 on pages 384/385: Samuel Kinsinger, living in the community of Collinsville, Ohio, was born on the old home place two miles north of Collinsville, on March 11, 1851. He is the son of Joseph Kinsinger, who was born in 1801, in Bavaria, Germany, and who came to America in 1824, and located in Butler county. Joseph Kinsinger was married in 1830, to Magdalena, daughter of Christian and Catherine (Hauter) Augspurger, the former of Alsace, France, and the latter of Bavaria, who were married in the latter country in 1805. Christian Augspurger and family came to America in 1817 and settled in Pennsylvania, and a year later returned to Europe and in 1819 they again came to America and settled in the woods two miles north of Collinsville, Ohio. There they cleared a farm and made a home but subsequently disposed of it and moved to another property located two miles south of Trenton, Ohio. There they passed away and were buried in the family burying ground at that place. They were the parents of tw! elve children: Joseph, Catherine, Magdalena, Barbara, Christian, Mary, Jacob, John, Jacobina, Anna, Samuel and Frederick. After his marriage, Joseph Kinsinger purchased the old Augspurger homestead north of Collinsville, where he continued to be engaged in farming until his death in 1857, at the age of fifty-six years. He was always a farmer, but also labored faithfully in the Mennonite church, in which he was one of the early preachers in the Miami valley. During the early days the services of the followers of this faith were held in the various homes of the members, but later when a sizable congregation had been formed, a meeting place was secured at Trenton, Ohio. Mr. Kinsinger was widely known as a man of ability and honor, and took an active part in the public and private welfare of the community in which he lived. In politics he voted the Democratic ticket. He was the father of nine children: Barbara, who died in 1918, was the wife of the late David Sommers, the! y had ten children; Catherine, who died in 1850; Christian, who died i n 18?8, was married to Mary Schrock, also deceased, and had two children; Magdalena, who died in 1911, was the wife of the late Joseph M. Goldsmith, and had nine children; Joseph, who died in 1886, was married to the late Helena Kennel, and had five children; Fannie, still living, of Collinsville, Ohio; Mary, who died in 1918; Jacobina, who died in 1867; and Samuel of Collinsville, who, in 1885, married Emma B. Jotter, daughter of the late Peter and Mary (Bender) Jotter, who were early residents of Monroe, Ohio. He is the father of two children. He, with his family, is now living on a farm west of Collinsville and is still actively engaged in general farming.

From Memoirs of the miami Valley, Vol. III, 1919 on pages 196/197: Otto I. Ehresman. In the following out well-laid and ably directed plans as foundry manager, merchant and farmer, Otto I. Ehresman has achieved honorable and satisfactory success, and at the same time has so conducted his affairs as to merit the esteem and confidence of his fellow-men. At the present time he is the owner of a valuable and well-cultivated property consisting of 258 acres, located in Madison township, this property having been attained through the medium of his own industrious efforts. Mr. Ehresman was born on the old Iutzi farm in Madison township, Butler county, Ohio, February 4, 1854, a son of Christian and Maria (Iutzi) Ehresman, natives of Germany. The father was a young man when he emigrated to the United States and after his marriage at Trenton located on a farm north of that place, where he carried on operations until his death twelve years later, in 1867, when he was but forty-five years of age. The politics of the elder Ehresman made him a Democr! at, and he and his wife, who survived him until 1906 and was seventy-nine years old at the time of her demise, were members of the Mennonite faith. They had six children: Otto I.; Bena, who married William J otter, of Trenton; Bertha, who is single and resides at Trenton; Maria, who married William Hege, of Chicago, Ill.; Amelia, single, and a resident of Trenton; and Louisa, who died when a child. Otto I. Ehresman had only a limited educational training, as his father died when the lad was only thirteen years old and his labors were needed to assist in supporting the family. He remained at home with his mother until 1885, in which year he married Mary Duscher, of Madison township, Butler county, a daughter of Henry and Ella (Ball) Duscher, the former a native of Germany and the latter of the state of New York. Mr. Duscher was but three years of age when brought to the United States by his parents, the family settling at Trenton, where he grew to young manhood. When he ! embarked upon his independent career it was as the owner of a malt hou se at Hamilton and a still house at Collinsville, but later he engaged in farming, and finally established a foundry at Hamilton, and conducted the present plant there (which was of his own building) until his death. He had also other business connections and was a man well known and highly esteemed. He and his wife were members of the Lutheran church and the parents of seven children: Louisa, deceased, who was the wife of Fred H. Burk; Mary, who became Mrs. Ehresman; Frank, who died young; Libbie, a resident of Hamilton; Sophia, who married William Stephen, a coal dealer of Hamilton; Sarah Ellen, the wife of Fred H. Burk; and Clara, deceased, who was the wife of Gus Schween, present manager of the Duscher foundry. Three children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Ehresman: Clarence, Victor and Herbert, all at home. Following his marriage, Mr. Ehresman went to Gratis township, Preble county, where he was engaged in farming for a period of five years, and then returned to Butl! er county to become manager of the old Duscher foundry for his father-in-law, gradually advancing to the position of vice-president. He later re-entered in farming in Madison township for four years, and then purchased the old Asa Schuler place, of 258 acres, on which he carried on operations for three years. He has modern improvements of all kinds, and is accounted a skilled, practical and progressive agriculturist, and one who keeps fully abreast of all advancements being made in his vocation. Mr. Ehresman has also had experience in commercial affairs, for during a period of thirteen years he conducted a successful grocery establishment at Trenton and maintained an excellent record as a business man of marked ability and high principles. He is a democrat, and he and Mrs. Ehresman are faithful members of the Mennonite church.

From Memoirs of the Miami Valley, Vol. III, 1919 on pages 60, 61, 62: Major John F. Bender - Retired contractor of Hamilton, has the distinction of being one of the pioneers of Butler county, and he is a man known allover the Miami valley for his probity of character and high principles. He was born in the Rhine Province, Germany, September 28, 1830, a son of Frederick W. and Catherine (Diehl) Bender, both natives of Germany. They realized the limitations of their native land, and desiring to get away from the oppressive rule of the Prussian military element, they came to the United States in January, 1855, making the then long and dangerous voyage on a sailing vessel, and after their arrival in this land of promise, came west to Ohio, stopping first at Cincinnati, but later removing to Hamilton. The good old grandfather, Peter Bender, had been active in military affairs, serving in the war against Holland, and although he was eighty-five years old at the time of his death, he was so active that he was working, up to within two weeks of his! demise. After the Bender family were settled at Hamilton, Frederick Bender, who was a practical carpenter and builder, looked about him to see in what way he could best use his knowledge and he and his brothers, William and Ernest, erected a planing mill, a frame structure, later replacing it with a four-story brick one, with a basement, affording room for the employment of 150 workmen. They also developed a large contracting business and erected all of the principal buildings at Hamilton during their time, including those occupied by the Ohio Nail, Tool and Pump works, the Mosler Safe company, the McNeil & Urban Safe works, the Myers Manufacturing company, three large schools and many others. The extensive plant of the pulp mills, which turns out annually a product valued at $300,000 was also built by these brothers. At first the firm was Bender Bros. Later Frederick W. Bender took his sons into partnership, buying out the others, and operating under the name of Bend! er & Sons. After his death, the firm became J. F. Bender & Bros. In 1867, Frederick W. Bender died, aged sixty-seven, his wife surviving him until 1891, when she passed away, aged eighty-six years. While living in Germany, Frederick W. Bender gave to his native land the compulsory three years of military service. He and his excellent wife were consistent members of the Lutheran church. Their children were as follows: John F., whose name heads this review; Conrad, who is deceased, was a carpenter; William F., who is now living retired, was at one 'time interested in the paper mill; Peter, who was formerly a druggist, went to California, and is now a ranch owner of that state; Jacob, who was a hat manufacturer, is now deceased; John, who was a bookkeeper, is deceased, and he married Lena Martin; Catherine, who married George Iutzi, a retired farmer of Hamilton, Ohio, is now deceased; Lizzie, who is married, lives with her son on the Darrtown pike; Ernestine, who is unmarried, lives at Hamilton, 0.; Ernest, who was a carpenter, went to Calif! ornia, and there died; Philimena, who was married, is deceased and so is Henry, her husband. John F. Bender came to the United States when he was twenty-five years old after completing his period of military service in the Prussian army. He had learned the carpenter trade under his father's supervision, and locating at Hamilton, found employment for his skill. Later he went into business with his father and brothers, and became one of the leading contractors of the Miami valley. April 16, 1857, Mr. Bender was united in marriage with Miss Mary Elizabeth Herdegan, born in Germany. Mr. and Mrs. Bender have three adopted children, who were born to a sister of Mrs. Bender, and to them they have given a loving and parental care. They are as follows: Simon Kronester, who was associated in business with Mr. Bender for many years, and has succeeded to his interests. He was married to Minnie Heiser, and their children are as follows: Marcella, who married Albert Henneberger, ha! s one child,-Jane; Helen, Alma and Adelia, who are at home; and Paul, who died at the age of nine years. The second adopted child of Mr. and Mrs. Bender is Barbara, who Ind. Emery, born November 2, 1892, after graduating from the common and high schools and the Mechanic's institute, of Cincinnati, was for three years engaged in mercantile pursuits which were given up for farm work. In 1915, he was married to Frieda Harmony, daughter of George and Libbian Harmony, of Co1erain township, and now has in charge a fine farm of sixty-three acres. Rolland, born March, 1884, after graduating from the common and high school, completed a course in the Cincinnati High school, specializing in mechanics. He became a practical carpenter, worked in Kansas City, where he studied architecture and home building, and business relations with Des Jardins, the well-known Cincinnati architect, developed into a partnership. In 1809, he married Mary A. Burns, daughter of A. Y. and Marie (Lehne) Burns, of Ross, Ohio. The result of this marriage is two children, R! obert F. and Leona M. After marriage, they lived a short time in Cumminsville, then moved to the home farm, the affairs of which continue under his management. Gary King Batavia IL

From Memoirs of the Miami Valley, Vol. III, 1919 page 78/79 John C. Boyle. In the fertile agricultural regions of the Miami valley it is not unusual to find that several generations of a family have resided on the same farm, son succeeding father in the ownership of the property. This is the case in the property now owned and operated by John C. Boyle, a capable and highly respected agriculturist of Hanover township, whose farm has been in the family name for one hundred years and was formerly operated by his father and maternal grandfather, eighty acres of which was deeded to his maternal grandfather, Enos James, by John Rickey, December 12, 1817, for the sum of $560, as was also eighty acres deeded by John Sacket to Enos James, March 9, 1830, for $900. Mr. Boyle was born on this farm October 5, 1868, a son of John Boyle. The latter was born at Cookston, Ireland, November 14, 1822, and as a young man immigrated to the United States, without friends or finances, but with a strong determination to find his fortune in the land of hi! s adoption. Locating at Cincinnati, for a time he was employed in that city making mill stones, but subsequently moved to near Darrtown, where for a time he was employed on the John Moore farm at a wage of $10 per month. He was married February 22, 1849, to Martha J. James, born July 6, 1826, a daughter of Enos and Martha (Chandler) James, natives of Bucks county, Pa., and early settlers of section 22, Hanover township. In that section Mr. James had secured land from the United States government at an early day, erected a log house thereon, cleared and cultivated his land and made a home thereon, in which he resided until his death, January 4, 1899. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, as was also Mrs. James. They had five children: James, who went to Carroll county, Ind.; Jason, who went to the same county; Abel, who lived at Bath, Ind.; Elias, who went to Carroll county; and Martha J., who became Mrs. Boyle. After his marriage, John Boyle settled on the James h! omestead, where he continued to be engaged in farming until his death, January 4, 1899, his wife surviving him until April 4, 1902. They were the parents of nine children: Enos James, born December 10, 1850, a farmer in Clinton county, Ind., who died January 22, 1918; William and Jason, twins, born March 25, 1853, the former of whom died July 30, 1853, and the latter also deceased; Henderson, born January 24, 1857, a resident of Columbus, Ind.; Elias, born April 18, 1857, a farmer in Hanover township, Butler county; Andrew J., born April 9, 1859, died November 10, 1865; George W., born June 13, 1861; Martha J., born September 3,1865, married Jacob Nehl, of Butler county; and John C. John C. Boyle attended the public schools of his native community and grew up on the home farm. He was married June 22, 1892, to Dora, daughter of John Jacob and Dorothea (Ritteberger) Miller, who were born in Germany and. as young people came to the United States and settled at Cincinnati where Mr. Miller followed his trade of cooper until his removal to Hamilton! . There his death occurred in November, 1918 when he had reached the remarkable age of ninety-one years while his widow still survives him and resides at Hamilton. Mr. Miller fought as a soldier of the Union during the Civil war. There were eight children in the Miller family, namely: Jacob, Lizzie, Dora, Henry C., George, Susie, Anna and Herman, all residents of Hamilton except Mrs. Dora Boyle, and Susie, the latter deceased. Six children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Boyle: Clement M., born February 28, 1894, who married Hazel Ermston, and farms a part of the home place; John Lee, born March 12, 1896, who married Alma M. Green, and is a salesman of Franklin, Ind., with two children, Bertha M. and John Lee, jr.; Fred H., born April 7, 1898, residing at home; Martha D., born August 3, 1900, a graduate of the Hanover high school, class of 1918; Bertha, born July 24, 1903, at home; and Charles G. born September 26, 1907, also at home. Mr. Boyle has always lived on the ol! d home place, where he has one of the fine country homes of Butler cou nty. In addition to carrying on a general farming business, he raises pure-bred Polled Hereford cattle, Poland China hogs, draft horses and white rock chickens, and his modern methods and marked industry are assisting him to make a success of all his undertakings. As a citizen he is ranked high among the residents of his community, where he has discharged every duty faithfully, and for several years has served efficiently as a member of the school board. He votes the Democratic ticket, and he and the members of his family belong to the Hamilton United Presbyterian church.

How very, very kind of you to send me all this marvelous information. I will have an exciting time trying to plug at least some of these into my tree.
