Mr. Loftus was born in County Clare, Ireland, about seventy-five years ago, the exact date of his nativity being uncertain, as the parish records were destroyed when the church of his native village in County Clare was burned down.

His first work in the United States \vas found in Vermont, where he started as driver of a team. After that he worked on a gravel train on a railroad. Although he was little more than a boy at this time, he had a man's idea of responsi-bility, and with his savings was soon able to send for his mother and brother in the old country. They subsequently joined him and for years he contributed to their support. The mother died at Steubenville. Mr. Loftus continued to work on the railroad and earned the money in that way to pay for his first farm and later for a second farm, and this land he still owns, it being a substantial evidence of his industry and prudence.

Pleasant, Ohio, was born at Mt. Pleasant, June 20, 1861, and is a son of William G. and Mercy (Lloyd) Kinsey. William G. Kinsey was born at Wilmington, Del., May 19, 1821. His father was Nathaniel Kinsey, who was born and reared at Philadelphia, Pa., where the English family of Kinseys had settled in colonial days. The family records show that the first of this family to come to America was John Kinsey, who located in 1677 on what seemed to him to be desirable and tillable land, which later was portioned off and for two centuries has been the site of the city of Philadelphia. Nathaniel Kinsey inherited an estate from his father in the State of Delaware, near Wilmington, on the Bristol Turnpike Road. He married Hannah Griffith, of Bucks County, Pa., a member of an old Welsh family. They died about 1865 and were interred at Cincinnati. Of their numerous children, William G. Kinsey, the venerable father of Rev. Kinsey, is the only survivor and he is in his ninetieth year. In 1840 he accompanied his parents to Cincinnati, the journey at that time being considered a long one, for which great preparations were made. The comfortable old family carriage was called into requisition and the new National Turnpike made the trip as far as Wheeling a comparatively simple matter. There the carriage, horses, people and luggage all went on the boat and were thus transferred to the Ohio side of the river. For twenty years afterward William G. Kinsey made Cincinnati his home. In 1860 he came to Mt. Pleasant, purchasing a farm of 100 acres situated one mile south of the town and here he carried on agricultural pursuits until the infirmities of age crept upon him. In his earlier years he had worked as a leather finisher, a trade he learned in Philadelphia. For the past twelve years he has resided at Alliance, Ohio, and despite his weight of years, possesses fair physical powers and all his mental faculties. William G. Kinsey married Mercy Lloyd., who was born in what is now the Oscar Patterson farm-house, on the old Lloyd farm, two miles south of Mt. Pleasant, in 1828. Her parents were Isaac and Ruth (Harrison) Lloyd, the father being a native of York County, Pa. The mother was a member of the old Harrison family of Virginia which has contributed many distinguished statesman to the United States. For five years after their marriage William G. Kinsey and wife resided at Cincinnati and then came to Mt. Pleasant. They had nine children born to them, as follows: Thomas E., who resides at Richmond, Ind., and for twenty-two years has been treas-urer and superintendent of the Richmond Natural Gas Company; Margaret, who is the wife of Prof. John K. Jenkins, of Cleveland; William, who died when aged five years; Isaac L., our direct subject; Ed-ward F., residing at Alliance, Ohio, who is a traveling salesman for the Oliver China Company; Annie Ruth, who resides with her parents at Alliance; Samuel A., who is in the shoe business at Alliance; Mary E., who resides with her parents; and one that died in infancy. It would be necessary to trace backward through history to the beginning of the religious movement which resulted in the organization of the Society of Friends to find the first identification of the Kinsey family with this body. Isaac L. Kinsey attended the Mt. Pleas- AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS - 1131 ant High School and took the seminary course at Westtown, near Philadelphia, leaving school in the autumn of 1883. His first pastorate Was in Matthews County, Va., where his circuit covered three churches. He remained there for three years, afterward serving three years at Portsmouth, after which he traveled for several years through the New England States and the South as an evangelist. For the past six years he has been pastor of the Friends' Church at Mt. Pleasant and is president of the Jefferson County Sunday-school Association. He has practically devoted his whole life to ministerial and philanthropic work. He is an able minister and eloquent orator, a man of fine address and he is held in the highest esteem by all-who know him. In his political views he is in accord with the Republican party. Rev. Isaac L. Kinsey was married September 25, 1889, to Miss Edith Cattell, a daughter of Ezra and Ruthanna (Patterson) Cattell. At the time of her birth her parents lived in Harrison County, Ohio, and from there moved later to Mt. Pleasant. She graduated at the Mt. Pleasant High School and was also a student in Raisin Valley Seminary, in Michigan. Two daughters have been born to Rev. Isaac L. Kinsey and wife, Alice E. and Wilma Virginia. The former is a graduate of the Mt. Pleasant High School and a student at the Ohio University at Athens, Ohio.

ISAAC GRANT HENDERSON, a prominent farmer and breeder of high grade stock, who owns 225 acres of valuable land, divided into two farms and situated in Smithfield Township, Jefferson County, Ohio, was born here August 3, 1863. He is a representative of one of the substantial old families of this section. His father was Alexander, his grandfather was John and his great-grandfather, who was the founder of the family, was Robert Henderson. Alexander Henderson was born on the farm now owned by his son, Isaac Grant Henderson. His father, John Henderson, was born on the adjoining farm to the south, and his father, Robert Henderson, was born in Ireland. He came from his native land to Jefferson County, Ohio, when few settlers had yet ventured thus far into the wilderness, and entered the south one-half of Section 24, Smithfield Township, government land. He built' a log cabin and began to clear his property but died long before it was completed. John Henderson, as one of the older sons, came into possession of a part of the farm and after his marriage, took possession of the present Henderson farm and built a log house on it for his own home. He died in 1840, aged forty years. He married Elizabeth Elliott, who was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania. She survived him many years and later in life erected a more commodious log house than the first one. Ten children were born to John and Elizabeth Henderson, namely : Robert M., James and Elizabeth, twins, Alexander, Mary and Ann, twins, John E., Ellen, Adaline and Martha. The only survivor of the above family is Mary, who is the wife of H. Barricklow, of Harrison County, Ohio.

HENRY WALKER*, merchant at Dillonvale, Jefferson County, Ohio, where he conducts a large department store, is pro-prietor also of a chain of stores, each being under capable managers, but each one being directed in its policy by the owner, who has made his home at Dillonvale since 1895. Mr. Walker is one of the capitalists of this part of Eastern Ohio, but he is entirely a self made man, beginning life without any advantages contributed by family influence, ample means or collegiate training. Simply through natural ability he has reached his present position of high financial standing and the recognition of his personal worth. Mr. Walker was born in County Durham, England, September 19, 1867 and his parents were John C. and Mary Ann (Porter) Walker. John C. Walker brought his family to America in August, 1869, when Henry was a child of two years. The other children were : Thomas, who is a prosperous merchant at Holloway, Ohio Margaret, who lives with her parents Jennie, who resides at Cleveland, Ohio and Mary A., who is the wife of William Wilson. Both parents survive the father being now in his seventy-first find the mother in her sixty-ninth year. The father continued his work in the coal mines at Hammondsville, Tiltonville and Dillonvale, until 1900, since when he has lived retired. Henry Walker first attended school at Wellsville, Ohio, and later at Steubenville but for only a short period at either place, as he was only twelve years old when he started to Work in. the coal mines at Wellsville. He remained there until he was eighteen years old, when he went into a pottery at Wheeling, W. Va. Later he was employed at Steubenville and went from there to Martin's Ferry, where he worked in the Aetna and Standard mills for three years. While there, in 1888, he was mar-ried to Miss Mary A. Honins, of Brilliant, Jefferson County, Ohio. She is a daughter of Richard and Annie Honnins, and is a most estimable lady, a capable and com-petent business woman, to whose discretion, judgment and ability, Mr. Walker generously attributes much of his unusual success. One year after his marriage, Mr. Walker moved to Brilliant, Ohio, where he opened a small grocery store. In 1890, he moved his stock to Laurelville, where he started into the grocery business on a capital of $200, and remained there until 1895, when he came to Dillonvale. Here he bought out the small general store of E. J.. Vickers and opened up business in two small rooms on the site of his present large department store, where he has floor space of 10,000 feet, the structure being two stories and basement, with dimensions of 20 by 80 feet. His business here amounts to about $250,- 000 annually, being entirely retail, and he is at the head of the largest mercantile combination in Eastern Ohio. He has had to compete with older and more experi-enced merchants but has outran them all. His business is conducted on a thorough system originated by Mr. Walker himself, and he has shown natural goad judgment in selecting the right men with whom to surround himself. The same underlying business 'principles are responsible for the success that he has attained in. his chain of stores which radiate from the parent establishment at Dillonvale. He owns the People's Store at Bradley, Ohio, which is under the management of D. W. Difford; AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS - 1135 the Ramsey Store, at Ramseyville, Ohio, its manager being John J. Aiglon the Conner's Store at Connersville, Ohio, under D. W. Wyert and the Henrick Store, at Henrick, Ohio, managed by Bonnie Batista. During all the twenty years that Mr. Walker has been in the mercantile business, Mrs. Walker has had charge of his office business, and great credit is due this lady for the thoroughness with which she has performed the arduous task. Through her hands have passed the enormous income and outlet representing the purchase and sale of the mammoth stock handled by Mr. Walker in all his stores and not only that, but she also visits New York as a buyer and is recognized there as one of the shrewdest purchasers on the dry goods market. To Mr. and Mrs. Walker four daughters have been born, the only survivor being Mary Elizabeth, a beautiful and talented maiden of now sixteen years. She is a brilliant student at the Mary Baldwin Seminary, an exclusive educational institution under the supervision of the Presbyterian Church, located at Stanton, Va. Miss Walker is making most creditable progress in German, elocution, Bible history, typewriting, shorthand and music, and has a general average of ninety-six in her studies, which is a gratifying showing to her teachers and her parents. Mr. Walker is a Thirty-Second Degree Mason and is identified with the Smithfield Blue Lodge Steubenville Commandery, Cleveland Consistory and Osiris Shrine at Wheeling. He belongs also to the order of Knights of Pythias, being a member of Dillonvale Lodge No. 184. In politics he has been a lifelong Republican and has always taken a hearty interest in party affairs. For six years he served as a member of the Dillonvale town council and during a part of the time was president of this body and in that position used his influence to bring about much needed improvement in the place. He has interests other than those connected with his large mercantile enterprise and for four years has been a member of the board of directors of the First National Bank of Dillonvale and is also a director of the Dillonvale Brick and Tile Company. In the employing of a large number of people he has been the means of adding to the general prosperity of the town, while personally he has shown great public spirit and a broad-minded liberality when occasion has arisen where it hag been needed. Both Mr. and Mrs. Walker were reared in the faith of the Methodist Episcopal Church and they are among the most active members of this church at Dillonvale. Mr. Walker is one of the stewards of the church and is a liberal contributor in support of all its benevolent agencies, but he has not confined his bequests to his own religious body by any means. While he and the pastor of the Methodist Church raised and contributed the sum of $1,400, in very hard times, to pay a debt on the parsonage, he himself contributed one half the purchase price, ($242,) of the elegant carpet for St. Adelbert's Roman Catholic Church at Dillonvale. It is little wonder, therefore, that Mr. Walker is one of the town's most popular citizens. His career is a notable example of what may be accomplished by industry, persistency and honesty com-bined with laudable ambition and the natural gifts which anyone who succeeds must possess in considerable degree. GEORGE BATES*, one of the leading contractors and builders of Steubenville, Ohio, connected with The Fickes Company, is engaged in general contracting and brick construction work. He was born in Rock Island, Ill., in 1857, and is a son of William Bates, who was also engaged in contracting in his day.

His education was thorough in its scope and character, including attendance at Jefferson College and the Allegheny Theological Seminary. Prior to his first visit to Europe, in 1855, he was associated in educational work with Rev. Joseph S. Travelli, at Sewickley, in his native state. This field of activity he found congenial, being one for which his talents and training particularly fitted him and made him open to the suggestions of Rev. Dr. Charles C. Beatty, who had heard of Dr. Reid through Dr. Comingo, the pastor f the First Presbyterian Church, who had met Dr. Reid in Switzerland. Dr. Beatty ably presented the needs of Steubenville Female Academy and invited Dr. Reid to become an associate in its management. After due consideration, in October, 1856, Dr. Reid came to Steubenville, accompanied by his bride, formerly Miss Sarah Lambert, of Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and entered upon his duties in the above educational institution, beginning a connection which, in some features, is still existing. This seminary has educated about five thousand young ladies, two thousand under the management of Dr. and Airs. Beatty and three thousand under that of Dr. and Mrs. Reid, and these young ladies have come from nearly every state in the Union. Mrs. Reid, who was a. noble Christian woman, had great influence in helping to mould the young ladies into noble Christian women.

These parents live in widely scattered sections, and from every quarter have been drawn the highest types of young woman-hood and these have been trained and moulded under Dr. Reid and his estimable wife, and hundreds are now proving their worthiness in the various circles to which then circumstances of life have led them. Dr. Reid no longer directs the affairs of the institution but he still retains the prop-erty. On many occasions he has been hon-ored as an author, educator and man of letters. He has three times traveled abroad, in 1875 being sent as a delegate to the Pan-Presbyterian Assembly at London, as a representative f the Northern Presbyterian Church body. In two other trips he visited Spain, Algiers; Egypt and Palestine. His pleasant home is situated at No. 202 South High Street, Steubenville. J. A.

John Shepherd, father of James T. Shepherd, was a son of John Shepherd,. who with his brother, Thomas, and his. aged parents, James and Sarah Shepherd, started from Drumlane Parish, County Cork, Ireland, in 1812 for America. While on the ocean a storm arose and in order to lighten the ship there had to be much of the cargo thrown overboard, among which was part of their household goods, including their Bible containing family records. John Shepherd was pressed into serv- 1148 - HISTORY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY ice in the war then waging. His brother Thomas, arrived with his parents in America and entered a farm of 160 acres in Ross Township, near where Mt. Zion Church now stands, and his parents lived with him uhtil their death. His father died June 1, 1814, aged eighty-four years, his mother died June 14, 1822, aged sixty-five years, and they are both buried in the Montgomery Cemetery. John Shepherd, the other son mentioned, and grandfather of James T. Shepherd, after serving for a time in the War of 1812, came to the cabin home of his brother, Thomas, and remained in that neighborhood, farming on shares, and working. While helping dig the mill race at the location now known as the Red Mill in Salem Township, he happened to see or meet Miss Margaret Montgomery, a young lady of the vicinity, and he said to his brother Thomas, "That girl shall be my wife." With his native Irish perseverance he got acquainted, wooed and won her, and with his young wife settled on 160 acres in the woods in Springfield Township, one mile north from where Amsterdam now stands, but the ground was at that time, and for many years after in original forest. When John Shepherd settled on his land he had no horse or the wherewith to buy one, so that winter he left his young wife alone, with only a big dog to protect her and went over into Pennsylvania and flailed out grain for farmers for the tenth bushel. In that way he. earned money and bought a horse and started home with it. He stayed over night this side of the Ohio River and the horse was put in a rail pen or log stable and either got out or was stolen and he never saw or heard of it again. He walked on home to his cabin, and his father-in-law, John Montgomery, gave him a horse, and he went to work clearing up land and raising what crop he could. Deer were very plentiful, and one winter's day some dogs were chasing a deer and it ran into the creek close to their cabin and broke through the ice. Mr. Shepherd saw it floundering around and called to his wife to bring the ax, she did so, he tried to hold it by the horns and told her to knock it in the head. She struck and missed it that time, but they finally got it killed, after it had torn near-ly all the clothing from them, and they feasted on venison. There were neither wagons nor wagon roads in this vicinity then—only what were called bridle paths—cut out through the woods, and John Shepherd, for a while, rode to the East Spring-field store to buy necessaries for his pioneer home. Later on, when he had cleared some land and got a start made, as the subject of this sketch has heard him tell, he and his good wife, "Peggy," as she was called, would put a crock of butter or lard in each end of a three bushel sack, and each one sling a sack across the saddle and take a dressed hog apiece before them on the horse and away to Steubenville, or "Steuben," as they called it and do their trading. They followed a bridle path to Springfield and from there to Steubenville, was a fair road. John Shepherd was a sturdy pioneer and good citizen, and at the time of his death was the owner of 508 acres of land. They raised a large family, were both Method-ists, and he was a lifelong Democrat. He died February 27, 1867, in the eightieth year of his age and his wife died February 2, 1873, in her eighty-first year. They are both buried in the Amsterdam Cemetery. John Shepherd, father of James T. Shepherd, was born and raised on his father's (John Shepherd's) homestead farm, one mile north of Amsterdam, now owned by the O. and P. Coal Company. He was married March 22, 1853, to Mary Ann Smith, daughter of Major Charles Smith. He moved with his wife to Lewis County, Ky., and bought a large farm and lived there until the spring of 1859, when he moved to his father's homestead farm near Amsterdam and remained there until the spring of 1862. He then moved to Indiana, but in the spring of 1863, again went to his farm in Kentucky, where he re- AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS - 1149 mained until the spring of 1865 when he sold his farm there, moved back and purchased the present farm of James T. Shepherd from Crawford McMaster, and on this farm he spent the remainder of his life. Mr. Shepherd died December 6, 1888, in the sixty-sixth year of his age, and his wife, December 16, 1894, in the seventy-seventh year of her age, and both are buried in the Amsterdam Cemetery. They were Methodists and he was a lifelong Democrat; at the time of his death he was the owner of 271 acres of land near Amsterdam. John Shepherd and wife had five children: James T.; Francis L., a large farmer and stock raiser of near Cleveland, Tenn.; John W. and Vaugh, who died in childhood, and Addie, wife of A. M. Watson, a prominent farmer of Springfield Township. James T. Shepherd received his education at Harlem Springs and Richmond Colleges and taught penmanship in the latter institution and various schools throughout the state of Ohio. He then became engaged in the stove and tin business at Leesville, Carroll County, Ohio, but in 1880 turned his attention to the buggy and carriage business in which he las continued to the present time and is well and favorably known throughout Jefferson and adjoining counties. After his marriage, he lived for one and one half years in Granville, Licking County, Ohio, and he then moved to the farm on which he now resides, and has since. erected a new dwelling house, barn and other out-buildings, furnishing all with slate roofs and stone foundations. They are laid out on a beautifully arranged plan, and are without doubt one f the finest set of farm buildings in the county. On May 24, 1889, Mr. Shepherd was married to Mira Wilson, daughter of Elias and Margaret Wilson, of Centerview, Ohio, and to this union there have been born five children: Lulu Mary John T.; and Hazel F.; who are at home; Margaret, who died when nine years old, and Lela C., who died when one year old.
