Surnames: ELRICK, JAMESON, STRINGHMAN, DAKIN, BOLMER, VIZEDON, BARNHOUSE From Memoirs of the Miami Valley, Vol. III, 1919 ELRICK on page 200/201: Andrew J. ELRICK. By dint of natural ability and perseverance, Andrew J. ELRICK has won a substantial position among the reliable citizens of Middletown, at which place he is employed as a roller in the American Rolling mill. He is a self-made man and his career has been one in which he has had to depend only upon his own ability and resource, which have been strong enough to win him contentment and a goodly share of prosperity. Mr. ELRICK was born August 5, 1882, at Cedarville, Ohio, a son of David McCullough and Addie (JAMESON) ELRICK. When he was a lad the family moved to Alexandria, Ind., where David M. ELRICK was successfully engaged in contract work, a line which he followed until his death, April 29, 1919. Mrs. ELRICK still survives and makes her home at Middletown with her son, who has one sister, Mrs. William STRINGHMAN, of this city. Andrew J. ELRICK was educated in the public schools of Alexandria, Ind., where for a short time he was employed by his father i! n contract work, but eventually turned his attention to his present line, and in 1901 came to Middletown to accept a position with the American Rolling Mill company, with which he has been identified ever since. He now discharges the duties of roller, a position in which he has displayed physical endurance, marked intelligence and unremitting perseverance, so that he stands high in the favor of his employers as one to be depended upon. Mr. ELRICK was married December 23, 1901, to Marie DAKIN, born September 16, 1885, at Franklin, Ohio, daughter of Ira and Elizabeth (BOLMER) DAKIN. To this union there have been born four children: Irvin K.; Robert, who died in infancy; David McCullough and Betty Jane. Their pleasant and tastefully furnished home is located at 1101 Yankee road, and is frequently the meeting place of the wide circle of friends possessed by Mr. and Mrs. ELRICK. They are consistent members of the United Presbyterian church, while Mr. ELRICK belongs to the L! oyal Order of Moose and the Eagles, and in political adherence support s the candidates and principles of the. Democratic party. There is a photo on page 200 of the Andrew J.
