AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS - 1175. until it reached large proportions. In 1907 he purchased the mercantile business of Timothy White and now has two stores in successful operation. As a merchant f sixteen years standing, Mr. Higgins is well known in this line at Irondale and the generous patronage that he has received indicates very clearly the high esteem in which he is held by his fellow citizens. On December 6, 1883, Mr. Higgins was married to Miss Mary J. Gilson, a daughter of James and Jane (Gilson) Gilson, of New Salisbury, and they have two children : Maria Jane, who is the wife of John Brown, and has three sons—Clarence, Erwin and John Arnold Brown ; and Cinderella, who resides at home. Mr. Higgins and family are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is identified with the Republican party. With the exception of a short period in childhood, Mr. Higgins has always been a resident of Jefferson County. HORACE A. SIMMONS, born on South Third Street in Steubenville, O., is the son of Joseph Simmons and Margaret A. Simmons, who are f English and Scotch parentage, respectively. His father, Joseph Simmons, is one of the pioneer nailers of Steubenville, coming here in 1854 with Frazer, Kilgore & Co., who operated a nail-mill on the site now occupied by The La Belle Iron Works. In 1875 he accepted the management f a new mill then building at Clifton, W. Va., to which town he moved his family in 1876. After a number of years he gave up the iron business and identified himself with the lumber business in Michigan, owning timber tracts in the Northern part of the State and operating planing and saw-mills at Muskegon. H. A. Simmons' grandfather was Peter Anderson, who was one of the early settlers of Steubenville, arriving in 1815. When the report, of the building up of the middle west, was circulated in the east, he emigrated from Maryland to Pittsburgh and from there came to Steubenville by river. He was a shoemaker by trade and continued that business after coming to Steubenville also taking up real estate investments. He became one of the largest owners of real estate in Steubenville and laid out several additions to the city, as it increased in population. After his death in 1871 his real estate business was conducted by his sons who continued it until their death. With the experience acquired by two generations in manipulating Steubenville real estate successfully and constantly during a period of eighty-five years, the subject of our sketch, Mr. H. A. Simmons, adopted this line of business fifteen years ago, making a specialty of managing estates ; his agency being the first ever established in Steubenville, specializing the rental branch of the real estate business, which is one of the most responsible positions of trust in the business world, and it is a well known fact that the personal attention and care Mr. Simmons gives to each piece of property or estate placed in his charge is the secret f his success. During later years he has taken up sub-division work and added a real estate sales department to his agency, consummating some of the largest real estate deals made in Steubenville. He has also a Fire Insurance branch to his business and is the general agent for one of the largest bonding companies in the United States executing all classes of surety bonds including Fidelity and Judicial Bonds. Mr. Simmons conducts his business at No. 160 South Third Street, where his clients, at all times receive his most courteous attention. FREDERICK WILLIAM OWESNEY*, secretary and treasurer of the Eastern Ohio Sewer Pipe Company, an Ohio concern of magnitude, of which he was one of the organizers, is one of Jefferson County's business men of exceptional qualifications. He was born at Steuben-ville, Ohio, which city continues to be his place of residence, April 6, 1868, and is a son of William A. and Catherine (Flynn) Owesney. William A. Owesney was born at Dover, 1176 - HISTORY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY New Hampshire, in 1840, and died at Steubenville in 1886. He was educated at St. Joseph College, New Lexington, Ohio, and was subsequently a law student in the office of Hon. Edwin M. Stanton and practiced continuously from the date of his admission to the bar until his death. During the Civil War he served in the First Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and was mus-tered out with the rank f first lieutenant. He was a son of Valentine Owesney, who was born in the town of Newlitschun, Province of Moravia, Austria, and came to New England in 1820, dying many years later at Steubenville. William A. Owesney married Catherine Flynn, who was born in Ireland and in company with an uncle, came to America and died at Steubenville in 1889. Eight children were born to this marriage, the survivors being: Frederick William, the eldest; Raymond, who is a resident of Cincinnati; Florence, who is the wife of Samuel K. Maxwell, of Xenia, Ohio; and William M., who resides at Steubenville. Frederick William Owesney was reared in his native city, and after completing the public school course, entered his father's office and read law under his supervision for two years. The death of his father, at that time, interrupted his plans for a professional career, and he accepted a position as clerk of the Steubenville postoffice and retained it during the first administration of the late ex-President Cleveland. From there Mr. Owesney entered the employ of the Great Western Fire Clay Com pany at Toronto, Ohio, where he remained until 1900, when, with A. F. Freeman, he organized the Eastern Ohio Sewer Pipe Company, erecting the plant at Irondale. The Eastern Ohio Sewer Pipe Company works with a capital stock of $250,000. Its officers are: William Banfield, president; A. C. Houston, vice president; Frederick W. Owesney, secretary and treasurer, and F. S. Wade, assistant secretary. Since its organization the business has been pros-perous, and the plant has never been shut down except when its temporary closing has been caused by the elements. Employment is given to 211 men, and the large distribution of wages adds materially to the general prosperity of the town. The plant is modern in every particular and has a capacity of 5,000 cars annually. The company owns coal lands and 700 acres of surface clay. The business is the manufacturing of sewer pipe and other clay products, which are sold from Maine to the Missouri River. In 1892 Mr. Owesney was married to Miss Agnes Greesinger, a daughter of Jacob Greesinger. Mrs. Owesney was reared in Steubenville and educated in the parochial schools, both she and Mr. Owesney being members of St. Peter's Catholic Church. They have had three children: Agnes, who died in 1900; Mary C., who is now aged eight years ; and Frederick G., a sturdy little son f six years. Mr. Owesney has always voted with the Democratic party. He is identified with the Order of Elks. DAVID S. CARR*, one of Island Creek's leading citizens, who resides on his valuable farm of 240 acres, where formerly he was engaged extensively in sheep raising, was born in Island Creek Township, Jefferson County, Ohio, April 5, 1847, and is a soil of William C. and Jane M. (Hunt) Carr. William C. Carr was born also in Island Creek Township. His father, David. Carr, was born in Pennsylvania and with his two brothers came to Jefferson County from Westmoreland County and in 1798 settled in Island Creek Township when ail this fertile and finely cultivated land was but a pathless wilderness. David Carr was a man f good business sense and the farm he selected is the one which his grandson now owns, it proving to be land capable of development and suitable both for grazing and cultivation. William C. Carr lived out his entire life in Island Creek Town-ship, where he died in 1864. He was a member of the Republican party in the latter part of his life and was a man of AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS - 1177 local prominence, serving in township offices. He married Jane M. Hunt, who was born at Pittsburg, Pa., a daughter f Rev. Thomas Hunt, who was a pioneer preacher in early days. It seems almost a fiction that the mother of Mr. Carr could remember when the present great iron city was a settlement of but three houses on the muddy bank of the river. Of the children of William C. and Jane M. Carr, the fol-lowing survive: Letitia C., who is the wife f John Findley, and lives at Waverly, Iowa; W. B., who is pastor of a Presbyterian Church at Latrobe, Pa.; and David S., f Island Creek Township. David S. Carr was reared on the home farm and can remember when this section was called Carr's Ridge, the name having been given it by his grandfather. He obtained his education in the district schools and at Beaver Academy, in Beaver County, and later was sent o Hagersown Academy, which was at that time a somewhat noted educational. institution in Carroll County, Ohio. Being the owner f a large amount of land he naturally became a farmer and sock raiser and for many years was interested in raising Merino sheep, keeping as many as 400 at one time. He still continues his cattle industry, breeding and handling only Jersey and Durham stock and cattle from his. farm have a very substantial reputation. On December 24, 1871, Mr. Carr was married to Miss Margaret Hanna, a daughter of John and Margaret Hanna, former residents of Cross Creek Township, both of whom are now deceased. Two sons were born to Mr. and Mrs. Carr, John H. and Harlan P. John H., the older son, is a resident of Medina County, Ohio. He was educated in the Steubenville High School and Kiskimmitus Academy, situated near Saltsburg, Pa. The younger son, who resides in Island Creek Township, was educated in the Steubenville High School and the Ohio State University at Columbus. They are both creditable members of an honorable old family. Mr. and Mrs. Carr belong to the Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church in Island Creek Township, in which he is an elder. He is a Republican in his political views. JAMES O. GOODLIN, senior member of the firm of James O. Goodlin, Son & Company, lumber dealers, of which he is treasurer and manager, was born in a village in Ross Township, Jefferson County, Ohio, called Owltown, December 19, 1857. His parents were William and Jane (Gosson) Goodlin. William Goodlin was a native of Maryland and a son of Thomas Goodlin, he and his father being tailors by trade. William Goodlin was an early settler near Richmond, Ohio. He married Jane Gosson and later they moved to Harrison County and both died at Cadiz Junction. James O. Goodlin was reared in. Ross Township. In 1881 he came to Torono and learned the carpenter's trade in the old Myers McFenn planing-mill and then worked as a journeyman. In 1887 he organized a company which purchased the Saltsman planing-mill, which sood on the present site of the large Goodlin Company's planing-mill. The partners in this enterprise were J. L. Metcalf, James O. Goodlin and John W. Cooper, and they operated the concern until 1893 under the name of Metcalf, Cooper and Goodlin. In that year Mr. Goodlin sold his interest o his partners and entered into a new partnership, with Guy Johnson, in a contract-ing and building business. In 1895 Mr. Goodlin again sold out to his partner, and in 1896, when the firm of Metcalf & Cooper were unfortunate and forced to make an assignment, he bought their sock, and in 1898 one-half of the interest was purchased by Mr. Johnson. In the meanwhile the company bought the old Glass House pro-perty at Steubenville for a lumber yard, and Mr. Goodlin and his son, E. B. Goodlin, with Mr. Johnson and his two sons, William B. and James Johnson, ran the two concerns together until the death f James Johnson made a reorganization of the business necessary. In the division Mr. 1178 - HISTORY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY Johnson took the Steubenville interests and Mr. Goodlin the Toronto' interests. At that time the firm of James O. Goodlin, Son & Company came into existence. The officers are as follows : W. E. Maxwell, a resident of Toronto and a practical mechanic, is president and foreman of the planing-mill; Mr. Goodlin is treasurer and manager, while E. B. Goodlin is secretary. The business is thus in the hands of trained, experienced men and is in a very prosperous condition. Mr. Goodlin married Miss Clara Parkin-son, who was born in Island Creek Town-ship, and they have two sons—E. B., who is associated with his father ; and Charles, who is in the employ f the company. Mr. Goodlin belongs to the Masons and Odd Fellows. J. G. BELKNAP, who has been engaged in the practice of law at Steubenville for the past two years, was born in 1883 at Sherrodsville, Carroll County, Ohio, and was there reared and secured a high school education. He also graduated from the Scio College with the class of 1904, and then taught school for some time. Subsequently he entered the Ohio Northern University at Ada, Ohio, and in 1908 received the degree of LL. B., locating at once in Steubenville he has since been successfully engaged in practicing his profession in the various courts of the State. Mr. Belknap is a member of the Hamline M. E. Church of Steubenville. He is fraternally an Elk, a Mason and a member 'of a Greek letter fraternity. J. G. Belknap, is the only child of Mr. and Mrs. James L. Belknap. Mr. James L. Belknap is a member of one of the oldest families of Carroll County. He showed in early life a strong inclination towards mental pursuits and was ever an attentive and industrious student. He was an exceedingly well posted man, one in whom the people had confidence both as to judgment and honesty. He always took a leading part in the advancement of the interests of his county; in its educational, religious, social and financial development. His well. known spirit of progressiveness made him one of the leaders in every movement, and his purse was always open to deeds of charity and benevolence. He is a Republican in politics and is an active worker in the party. TIMOTHY A. WHITE, postmaster at Irondale and a prominent citizen f the place, has been identified, in different capacities, with business enterprises hen for more than a quarter f a century. He was born in Brush Creek Township, Jefferson County, Ohio, September 30, 1859, and is a son of John V. and Eliza J. (Geary) White. John V. White was born at Holiday's Cove, W. Va., December 15, 1820, and moved to Ohio with his parents in 1834. They settled in Brush Creek Township on a quarter section f land, the grant for which bears the signature of Andrew Jackson. The father of John V. White was Timothy White and he died on this pioneer homestead. He had married Anna Smith, a lineal descendant of John Smith, the early Virginia hero. The great-grandfather of John V. White was born in. Ireland and was a participant in the battle of the Boyne. Timothy White and wife had twenty-three children and John V. was the second in order of birth. He died February 6, 1881. He married Eliza J. Geary, who was born March 16, 1825, and died in the fall of 1909, in her eighty-fifth year. Four sons were born to John V. White and wife : John G., Timothy A., James Calvin Russell and Charles A. John G. White was accidentally killed by a railroad train, at Salinesville, Ohio, March 27, 1883, when aged twenty-Seven years, and was survived by a widow. and one child. James Calvin Russell White, who is a cement worker residing at Toronto. Ohio, married Helen Lacock, of New Orleans, and they have two children, Henrietta and Reuben. Charles A. White, one of Columbiana County's best known citi- AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS - 1181 zens, who resides at Lisbon, Ohio, retired from the office of county recorder in September, 1909, having served with the greatest efficiency for two terms, six years in all. He married Dora Evans of Salineville, and they have two children, Henry and Effie. In his youth he learned the carpenter's trade but lost his hand accidentally, when eighteen years of age. He was then prepared by his brother, Timothy A., for the profession of teaching and later taught school at Salineville, but subsequently returned to mill work and again met with an accident there that caused the loss of his arm. Timothy A. White attended school at Hopedale and when fifteen years old, learned the plasterer's trade. For about nine years he taught school, being principal of the Irondale schools for three years, teaching one year at Hammondsville, and five years in Brush Creek Township. In 1886, while teaching at Irondale, he married Miss Nettie E. Cope, a daughter of Levi and Nancy Cope, of Brush Creek Township. Mrs. White was one of Mr. White's pupils. She was a lady of most amiable character and not only her family, but the community were grieved by her death, which took place January 22, 1906. Their children were as follows : Bertha E., who married Jesse Eagan, bookkeeper of the Beatty Clay Company, at Magnolia (they have one daughter, Jeanette A. Eagan) ; Arnold B., living at home, who is employed in the Pennsylvania Railroad offices at Irondale ; Beulah M., who is attending school at Hudson, Ohio ; A. Warren, aged ten years (born February 8, 1900) ; and Emerson C., who died at the age of fifteen months. For twelve years Mr. White was man-ager of the tin mill office at Irondale, and for two years operated a coal mine with a Mr. Banfield. He then went with the Eastern Ohio Sewer Pipe Company, of which he was one of the incorporators, remaining four years in office. Later he conducted a store at Irondale for two and a half years, and on December 15, 1908, was appointed postmaster. In politics he is in sympathy with the Republican party. He was reared in the Presbyterian Church, but since his marriage has been identified with the Methodist Episcopal Church of Irondale, of which he is a trustee. He is a member f the leading fraternal organizations, belonging to Jenkins Lodge No. 431, F. and A. M., Wellsville Chapter, No. 55, R. A. M.; Irondale Lodge No. 333, I. O. O. F., and Davidson Lodge, No. 562, K. of P. WILLIAM H. DRAVIS*, a representative business man of Mingo Junction, where he conducts a grocery and meat market, has been a resident f Jefferson County, Ohio, since 1880. He was born on his grandfather's old farm in Ohio County, W. Va., May 6, 1861, and is a son f Frederick and Mary (Pumphrey) Dravis. Frederick Dravis was born in Germany and when he reached manhood immigrated to America, settling in Ohio County, West Virginia. There he married Mary Pumphrey, a daughter of Zachariah and Madelina (Snyder) Pumphrey. Zachariah Pumphrey was born in Ireland. He was a tanner and butcher and was the first to establish a meat market in East Wheeling; and he owned the land on which it was built. Ever since then the family has had butchers and stock buyers among its business men. After marriage, Frederick and Mary Pumphrey Dravis settled on the Pumphrey farm in Ohio County, from which they later moved to Jefferson County, Ohio, where both died, the latter in 1899, aged sixty-four years, and the former in 1900, when he had reached his seventy-second year. They were the parents of five children : William Henry ; Elizabeth, now deceased, who was the wife of John West ; Anna, who is the wife of Fred Milligan ; Zachariah, who is a retired officer f the U. S. Army, entering the service when aged eighteen years ; and Mary, who married Lieut. Phillips. Where William H. Dravis spent his boy-hood there was little opportunity to attend school and when he was eleven years old he was working at gardening and earning 1182 - HISTORY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY $2.50 per month. Later he found work in a brickyard and after that returned to farmiu.g and evidently proved very capable in this industry as his employer paid him the highest wages paid to any farm em-ploye in the county, $23.50 a month. When he first realized that without some means he could never hope fo advance very far in business, he was seventeen years of age and between then and his twenty-third birthday, he saved the sum of $600. He was thus able to invest in a butcher and huckster enterprise and followed this occupation from 1883 until 1889. He then embarked in the mercantile business, buying a large grocery, bakery and livery at Startle, or old Log Run, in Jefferson County. His plans had been well laid but he had not allowed for a possible indus-trial disturbance, and during a strike that followed he lost $10.000. He sold his ef-fects at public sale and then went to Grand Island, Nebraska. There he started a butcher shop, with a capital of $100, and within four months' time his daily sales amounted o $400. In this enterprise he had George Veeder as a partner and the business was conducted under the firm style of Veeder & Dravis. Three years later he saw a still better opportunity for turning his capital over and sold out his Grand Island interests and went to Hous-ton, Texas, where he bought twenty-two town lots and again embarked in the butchering business and during the six years that he remained there he carried on a prosperous business. The death of a son, caused the family to return north and Mr. Dravis followed farming in Ohio for two years and then se-cured the meat contract for the Wabash Railroad, and within twenty-eight months had sold meat and groceries to this corporation to amount o $75,000. He then resumed farming and continued for two years, then was engaged in butchering for sixteen months in West Virginia, supplying meat during the building of the Christiansburg Railroad, after which he located on a farm near Brilliant, Ohio. Shortly after this, in 1908, in partnership with Adolph Swartz, he opened a butcher shop at Mingo Junction. This partnership was dissolved and on March 17, 1909, Mr. Dravis took possession of his present commodious storeroom on Commercial Street, patting in a large stock of first class groceries. Mr. Dravis is prosperous. He possesses the commercial instinct and his long experience has taught him how to please customers of every quality. Mr. Dravis is indebted to no one but himself for his success. and takes a justifiable pride in the fact. He has reared a large family and has afforded them more than the usual amount of comfort and provided a fine home which is situated at Highland View. Mingo. In addition to his residence property he owns a farm f sixty acres near Brilliant. in Wells Township, Jefferson County. other land at Brilliant and additional holdings in Texas and Nebraska and at Mingo Junction. On Sept. 10. 1883, Mr. Dravis was mar-ried to Miss Elizabeth Luella Milhoan, a daughter of John and Albina Milhoan, old residents of Jefferson County. To them the following children have been born: Walter, who was accidentally killed at Mt. Pleasant, when aged fourteen years; Grace, who married George Weeks of West Virginia. and has two children—Henry and Gertrude; and Blanche, Nellie, John, Olive. George Dewey, Joseph, Will-iam and Kenneth. Mr. Dravis and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal church. He is identified -with the order of Maccabees at Steubenville and belongs to the Mingo Board of Trade. In politics he is a Democrat. J. J. BARNHOUSE. a general farmer, who owns eighty-two acres of fine land, situated in Salem. Township, Jefferson County, Ohio, was born in Springfield Township, Jefferson County, November 21, 1843. He is a son of C. C. and Drusilla (Wagner) Barnhouse. C. C. Barnhouse was born in Springfield Township, Jefferson County, Ohio, Decem- AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS - 1183 ber 9, 1818, a son of George and Susan (Fox) Barnhouse. The father of George Barnhouse came from Hesse-Cassel, Ger-many, probably with the Hessian forces which were hired by the British at the time of the Revolutionary War. It is a family tradition that he escaped from the British army and fought for the colonies. He settled in Virginia, probably in Loudon County, as it was from there that his son, George Barnhouse, came to Jefferson County and subsequently settled in Springfield Township, where years later both and wife died and were buried in the ceme-tery not far from their farm. They were members of the German Reformed Church. To George and Susan (Fox) Barnhouse, ten children were born and nine grew to maturity. They were as follows: Benjamin, who was born in Loudon County, Virginia, married Mary Gillespie and they lived near Sharon, in Noble County, Ohio ; Priscilla, who married Thomas Eberhart, and they lived in Tuscarauwas County, Ohio ; William, who died in infancy; Elizabeth, who married William Dotts and re-sided in Carroll and Jefferson Counties; Lucinda, who never married; George, who was born after the family came to Jefferson County. married Rosanna McFerren, and they lived in Noble County. Ohio; Ab-ner, who married Elizabeth Miller, and lived in Jefferson and Carroll Counties, Ohio. but died in Michigan; Jacob, who married Elizabeth Hall, and lived in Noble County; C. C.. who spent much of his life in Jefferson County and is noticed more fully in another paragraph of this sketch; and Sampson. who was born in Jefferson County. married Katherine Able, and they lived in Noble and Morgan Counties. On the maternal side. Grandfather Fox came to America from England. He was a poor boy. and. as was a frequent custom in those days. entered into a contract with a vessel captain to work for his passage across the ocean. This placed him more or less in the hands of a bad man. for when the end of the voyage was reached he kept the young man a prisoner until some one hired him a Maryland farmer, who paid the passage money demanded by the captain and then took Mr. Fox with him as a slave until he should have worked out the sum. In those days when laws were lax, great injustice was frequently done. Mr. Fox accompanied his purchaser, but evidently was not willing to submit to the latter's treat-ment, for he soon ran away and went into the Patriot army, subsequently finding a peaceful home in Virginia. In 1840, C. C. Barnhouse was married to Drucilla Wagner, a daughter of John and Mira Wagner, and they had the following children: George William, who died when aged four months; J. J., whose name begins this sketch; Chastina E., who married Ervin Naragon, of Minerva, Ohio; and Zachery T., who married Lucinda Whitmore (they resided for a time in Harrison County, but later moved to California, where he died). For some time after marrying, Mr. Barnhouse remained in Springfield Township, but then moved to Harrison County and later to Carroll Comity. Then moving back o Jefferson County, he settled in Springfield Township, within a half mile of where he was born, and he died there April 7, 1869. His wife had passed away on April 19, 1866, and both were interred at East Springfield, Ohio. They were worthy members of the German Reformed Church, good, honest, virtuous people. Mr. Barnhouse was a member of the Republican party and as a citizen was held in such high esteem in Springfield Township that he was frequently elected to office and served both as assessor and as supervisor. From 1854 until the date of his death he was a Free Mason in good standing. His estate comprised 150 acres of land situated in Jefferson County. J. F, Barnhouse was educated in the schools of Springfield Township and the Normal School at Hopedale, Harrison County. after which he returned to the home farm to give his father assistance and continued to live on that place for twelve years after his own marriage. He 1184 - HISTORY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY then moved for a time into Cross Creek Township and from there came to his present farm on March 28, 1882, since which time he has made many improvements, all the substantial farm buildings now standing having been erected by himself. General farming is carried on by him and he is ably assisted by his son, Roy B. No tests for oil or gas have ever been made here nor has the land been leased for coal rights. It is a well managed, productive property and all the surroundings indicate thrift and prosperity. Mr. Barnhouse was married May 23, 1867, to Miss Nancy Jane Naragon, a daughter of William and Nancy A. Naragon, of Miller's Station, Harrison County, and a granddaughter of Jacob Naragon, who came to Harrison County from Schuylkill County, Pa., and had been a soldier in the War of 1812. His father was killed in Pennsylvania in early days, by the Indians. Mr. and Mrs. Barnhouse have four children; Anna L., who lives at home; William E., who resides at Billings, Montana; R. Howard, whose home is in California; and Roy B., who is associated with his father in the management of the farm. Roy B. Barnhouse married Miss Lucinda M. Gault, a daughter of John and Margaret (Miser) Gault, and they have one son, William Howard. In politics Mr. Barnhouse and son are identified with the Democratic party. He served one term as township supervisor and two terms as school director, but his life has been mainly a private one, his desires never making him anxious for public notice. For many years he has been connected with the Masonic fraternity. With his family he attends and gives liberal support to the Presbyterian Church. DAVID SPAULDING for many years was one of the representative business men of Steubenville, prominently identified with the iron trade, and during a long period a director of the largest iron works at Wheeling, W. Va., and at different points in Ohio. He was born at Sandwich, Mass., March 29, 1810, and died at Steubenville, Ohio, December 24, 1891. His parents were David and Betsey (Chase) Spaulding. The lineage of this branch f the Spaulding family in the United States is as follows : Edward Spaulding, born about 1600, in England, settled at James City, Va., now Jamestown, in 1619. Andrew Spaulding, born November 19, 1652. Andrew Spaulding, born March 25, 1678. Josiah Spaulding, born January 3, 1706, Isaac Spaulding, born October 1, 1735. David Spaulding, born (at Littleton, Mass.) January 23, 1768. David Spaulding, born (in Sandwich, Mass.), March 29, 1810. Charles H. Spaulding, born November 23, 1842. David Chase Spaulding, born September 16, 1868. William Lovejoy Spaulding, born November 17, 1870. Charles F. Spaulding, Jr., born July 15, 1883. The grandparents of the subject of this sketch, Isaac and Susannah (Lawrence) Spaulding, were early settlers at Littleton, Mass. His mother Betsey Chase Spaulding, belonged to the old and prominent Chase family of Cape Cod. David Spaulding, our direct subject, had but few educational opportunities, for when but thirteen years f age, he was apprenticed to the nail-maker's trade, at Wareham, Mass., and he continued to work at it in Plymouth County until 1832, when he went to Pittsburg, Pa., and worked at his trade some years there. He next operated a small store for some five years at Pine Creek, near that city, but later, about 1845, he bought and operated an extensive saw-mill and keg factory at the south end of the Mechanic Street bridge, and remained at Pittsburg until 1852. In the meanwhile he had accumulated some capi-tal, and when the La Belle Iron works were AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS - 1187 projected at Wheeling, W. Va., he became one of the proprietors and a member f the firm of Bailey, Woodward & Company, a firm which later purchased the Jefferson Iron Works of Steubenville. At that time, in 1859, Mr. Spaulding moved his family to this city, being chosen president f the new company, and maintained his home here until his death. For a number of years the Steubenville plant was operated under the name of Spaulding, Woodward & Company, Mr. Spaulding continuing as president, and when it was chartered and be-came the Jefferson Iron Works, Mr. Spaulding was made president of the re, organized body and continued in that office until he disposed of his interest, in November, 1881. When the Spaulding Iron Works were established at Brilliant, Jefferson County, Ohio, in 1882, Mr. Spaulding became president of that concern and the largest stockholder. The whole course of his business life displayed the persistency of the man. As he acquired capital, many avenues for its investment opened up before him, but in the line of his early training he continued gradually but sure-ly advancing until he reached a commanding position in iron manufacturing. It was, his conception of success in business to make proper preparation and then to practically apply the knowledge so gained and thus make headway, and such was his advice to younger men. Mr. Spaulding belonged to that old-time body of business men who acquired fortunes without entering into speculation, honest competition being one of his watchwords.

JOHN LOGAN CALDWELL, one f the oldest practicing physicians f Ray-land, Ohio, has practically been a life-long resident of Jefferson County. He was born May 6, 1855, on the old farm in Mt.

Dr. John Caldwell was born and reared in County Down, Ireland, and after a common school education graduated from the Royal Infirmary at Glasgow, Scotland. He came to the United States about 1835 and located in Jefferson County, Ohio, at Warrenton, which was then a thriving little shipping point on the Ohio River. Here he embarked in the practice of his profession and about 1838 was united in marriage with Sarah R. Patterson, who was a daughter of Robert Patterson, one of the most prominent early settlers of this locality. Her father was the owner of several grist mills, had considerable bank sock, was also a large land owner and was extensively engaged in shipping on the river. Shortly after their marriage Dr. Caldwell located on one of the Patterson tracts on Mt. Pleasant Ridge and there engaged in the practice of medicine until the time of his death, March 17, 1868, when he was aged 58 years. Mrs. Caldwell died at Rayland, Ohio, September, 1907, at the advanced age of 88 years.

John L. Caldwell was reared on the home farm, attended the district schools, Mt. Pleasant High School and Scio College, and at the age of eighteen began reading medicine with Dr. James G. Kennedy f New Market, now known as Scio, Ohio. Two years later he entered the Cleveland Medical College and in 1874 graduated from the College f Medicine and Surgery of Cincinnati, Ohio.

METTENBERGER, one f the leading funeral directors and embalmers at Steubenville, O., where he also conducts a livery business, has been active in the business circles of this city for a number of years, besides having additional interests at other places. He was born at Canal Dover, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, in 1860 and came to Steubenville when seventeen years of age. Mr. Mettenberger is truly a self-made man and the story of his struggles and successes is interesting in that it emphasizes the fact that early hardship is ften the best school of life, and that the scions of wealth have not always a great advantage over the less fortunate in the battle of life. Mr. Mettenberger's first industrial employment was as a messenger boy, the only compensation guaranteed him being his board. He was thus unable to give his needy mother in Canal Dover any assistance. Earnestly desiring o help her, he asked his employer to pay him at least one dollar per week in order that he might be able to do something to relieve her necessities, but this modest request was gruffly refused and he was turned out into the street for his presumption. He thus found himself in a desperate situation, as he had no money and no apparent prospect of obtaining other work. Fortunately, however, he met with a lady—a Mrs. Griesinger who knew his sister and she proved a kind friend, taking him to her home, and it was through her efforts that he secured a position as clerk in a wholesale liquor house. He proved industrious and reliable and continued in that position for two years. lie then worked for a time in a bottling works, after which he returned to Canal Dover. There he entered the rolling-mills and was employed continuously for four years and eight months, and there learned the boiling trade (commonly called that of puddler); after which he returned to Steubenville. Here he was next employed by Mr. Schnorrenberg in his bottling works, having charge of delivering beer to the trade. The business seemed a prosperous one and Mr. Mettenberger, having acquired but very little capital, later bought out his employer, although he had to contract an indebtedness of $3,800. It seemed a large amount of money, but through industry and close attention to business and the exercise of good judgment he was able to clear himself from debt in less than eight months. In the meanwhile he had acquired a livery stable, which his brother conducted for him and the firm of Mettenberger Bros. was thus organized. Mr. Mettenberger had some business difficulties about this time on account of the stand taken by the other liverymen of the city, they combined to restrain his patronage, on account of his being in both the livery and liquor business, and refusing. to use his teams and carriages for funerals. Mr. Mettenberger in self-defense then went into the undertaking business and conducted his different enterprises together until 1902, when he closed out his liquor business for $7,500, and since then has given the closer attention to his undertaking and livery. His quarters at No. 113-117 Court Street are fitted up in a style becoming to the large amount of business he annually handles. He has every convenience for the suitable and dignified conduct of funerals, is a licensed embalmer, and commands the respect of those who call him to their homes in a professional capacity. Mr. Mettenberger is also interested in a glass manufacturing and decorating plant at Brilliant, O. In 1883 Mr. Mettenberger was married to Miss Elizabeth Hissrich, and they have two sons—Henry B., who is associated with his father in a business capacity ; and AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS -1193 Jerome, who is attending school. Mr. Mettenberger and family belong to St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church. He is a very active church worker, is a liberal con-tributor to the charities f the church, and it was he who contributed close o the sum of $4,000 that wiped out the church debt. He is a man of kind impulses and many a little friendless lad has found a benefactor in him. He is identified with the Knights of St. George and the Heptasophs and is a valued member f the Steubenville Chamber of Commerce. WILLIAM FREUDENBERGER, an extensive oil operator and large dealer in real estate at Steubenville, Ohio, is a resident of thirty years' standing in this city. He was born in Germany and was fifteen years old when he came to America. For the first three years f his life in the United States, William Freudenberger lived at Keokuk, Iowa, and it was from there that he came to Steubenville and secured employment as a clerk in a clothing store. When oil was first developed in Ohio he became interested, and through foresight and judicious investments acquired valuable oil lands and leases and for many years has been identified with oil production in not only the fields of Ohio but also in Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and West Virginia. He is president of the Steuben Oil and Gas Company, and is a director in the Hill Oil and Gas Company of Oklahoma. Mr. Freudenberger is also interested in city real estate and probably. handles more valuable realty here than any other dealer.

After the death of his father he was thrown on his own resources and in 1890, through the kindness f the late Senator Sherman, he was appointed to a position in the U. S.

WILLIAM CATTELL, cashier of the First National Bank of Dillonvale, Ohio, and a prominent resident f Mt. Pleasant, was born in Harrison County, Ohio, near Jefferson County line, July 25, 1860, and is a son of Ezra and Ruthana (Patterson) Cattell. Ezra Cattell was a son of David Cattell and was born in Fayette County, Pa. In early manhood he came o Harrison County and, possessing both enterprise and capital, purchased about 200 acres of land, much of it covered with good standing timber. After clearing the greater part of this land he devoted it mainly to stock raising, and was an extensive and successful grower of thoroughbred Merino sheep. In many of his ideas along agricultural lines he was far ahead of his time, making use of improved machinery and experimenting with modern methods more than had formerly been done even by the best of farmers. He was enterprising in other ways, being keenly alive to the benefits of good roads and serving as treasurer of the old Plank Road Company. He was a man of sterling character, his whole life being consistent with his professions. He was a leading member and minister of the Society f Friends at. Harrisville. When he died, in February, 1868, Harrison County lost a man of unusual worth. He was fortunate in his marriage, Ruthana Patterson being a most estimable woman in every relation of life. She was born in Mt. Pleasant Township, Jefferson County, Ohio, a daughter of Mahlon and Mary Ann Patterson, and a granddaughter of Jeremiah and Faith Patterson, all of whom lived long and virtuous lives and died in Mt. Pleasant Township. A family of eleven children was born o Ezra and Ruthana Cattell and all of them grew to maturity with the exception of one daughter. The family record is thus presented. Mary Anna and Elma are both deceased. Edward D. lives at Mt. Pleasant. He married Emma Lewis, of St. Clairsville, a daughter of the senior member of the firm of Lewis & Woodmansee, who were proprietors of the old Grant 1196 - HISTORY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY House, of Wheeling. Five children were born to Edward and Emma Cattell : Lewis E., who resides at Wilmerding, Pa., and is in the employ of the Westinghouse Company Horace M., who is a cashier of the Miners and Merchants Exchange Bank of Smithfield, Ohio Marjorie, who is principal of the Dillonvale High School, and Earl Douglas and Ruthana, who died in infancy. Eliza, Martha and Lurena are all deceased. Caroline E. is the wife of Albert Lupton, f Mt. Pleasant, and they have one daughter, Ruthana. Lydia resides at home. Emeline J. is the wife of Lewis Lupton and they reside near Mt. Pleasant and have one daughter, Elizabeth. Edith is the wife of Rev. Isaac L. Kinsey, who is the pastor of the Friend's Church at Mt. Pleasant, a man with a thoroughly trained and well stored mind, who has devoted his life o ministerial work in the Society of Friends. They have two daughters, Alice and Wilma. William M. Cattell is the tenth in order of birth of the above family. He attended the district schools until the fall of 1875, when he entered the Mt. Pleasant High School and was graduated in the class of 1878. Later, after one winter passed in taking post-graduate work at Mt. Pleasant, he matriculated at Mt. Union College and was graduated from the Commercial department there in 1880 and spent the winter time f the following year at the Friends' Boarding School, Bauersville, Ohio. For two years afterward, a farm that he owned near Mt. Pleasant, occupied the larger part of his attention and then he spent one winter as a clerk for his brother, at Martin's Ferry, where he gave his mornings and evenings to the store and his afternoons to clerical work in the Exchange Bank, in order to acquire a business training. Mr. Cattell was then tendered a position in the Exchange Bank but in the meanwhile his health had declined and he thought it advisable to build up his constitution in some outdoor work and for this purpose went to Texas. For one year he remained on the ranch, eight months of the time in the capacity of a sheep herder, and as the experiment resulted in returning health, he was then ready to return to Ohio, accepting the tender of a place as assistant to the cashier which position he held for over six years in the Exchange Bank. Later this institution passed into the hands of The Peoples Savings Bank Company. In January, 1891, Mr. Cattell became associated with F. W. Baumer & Co., of Wheeling, W. Va., in a large music sore, and when the concern. was later incorporated, he became its treasurer. From Wheeling he returned o Mt. Pleasant, where he opened a coal mine to mine coal for domestic use and has continued to be , interested in that enterprise and for some time was engaged in the optioning and sale of coal lands. In the summer of 1900, in company with others, he undertook the organization of The First National Bank of Dillonvale, Ohio, which was consummated on September 20, 1900, and he has served as its cashier ever since. Mr. Cattell's many interests have made him a busy man but he is never oo closely occupied to neglect his responsibilities as a citizen or to forget his duty o family, church or society. On June 22, 1893, Mr. Cattell was married to Miss Edith Virginia Brenneman, a daughter of Richard B. and Keziah W. Brenneman, of Hancock County, W. Va. Her grandparents settled in the vicinity of Wellsville, in Hancock County, and so uncertain was the tenure of life and property in those early times, that they thought it wise to cut a mark in a sone on their land which, in case of an Indian massacre, would at least identify the spot. As far as our information goes, no such calamity followed their settlement and they lived and prospered there and both they and the next generation died peacefully. Mrs. Cattell was reared and educated in the neighborhood of her home and spent some time at Mt. Union College. Six children AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS - 1197 have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Cattell, namely: Ezra B., who is a student in the Mt. Pleasant High School; Cornelia S., who attends the public school at Mt. Pleasant, Richard B. C.; William Maurice and a twin sister, Edith Millicent, the latter f whom died in infancy and Charles Edward. Mr. Cattell and family are all members of the Society of Friends and they attend the Friends meeting-house at Mt. Pleasant. Originally, Mr. Cattell was a Republican, having been reared in that political faith, but he is very active in the cause of temperance and is glad to see the progress being made. For many years he voted the Prohibition ticket and gives loyal support to the Anti-Saloon League, in the interest of his own and others' boys. His home and religious training in childhood lay along the lines of temperance, peace, neighborliness and charity, and those who know him best are ready o affirm that his. early teaching has never been forgotten.
