300 - HISTORY OF OHIO was quickened by his study of the texts of the old-time McGuffy readers, then widely used in the public schools, and while still in his teens he began to cry sales in his home neighborhood. The reception accorded him and the unequivocal success that attended his efforts in this connection, had much to do with his adoption of auctioneering and sales work as his vocation. In the year 1889, as a young man of about thirty years, Colonel Perry came to Columbus, and he had already gained wide reputation as a public salesman of exceptional ability and resourcefulness. He has ever been a close student of human nature, and has informed himself thoroughly regarding the selling points of whatever he has exploited in his long and remarkable career as an auctioneer. Thus he has become a recognized authority and judge concerning the various breeds and grades of dairy cattle, and his ability in this respect was speedily recognized by breeders, who have widely enlisted his services in the selling Of fine cattle. He always commands the close attention of his auditors, keeps them interested, and has been able to make sales of cattle at fancy prices. He knows values and compels others to know that he knows, the while his integrity of purpose is never a matter of question. For more than thirty years the services of Colonel Perry have been booked months in advance, and his work has extended not only into every state of the Union but into various sections of the Dominion of Canada. There are but few breeders of dairy stock and but few operators of dairies who do not swear by—and, as he says, sometimes swear at—Colonel Perry, and he counts his friends by battalions. He has in some years passed as many as 136 nights on Pullman sleeping cars, in covering great distances and making good his engagements—one week in New York or Canada, the next in Texas or California. It is safe to say that no other man has addressed a greater number of people as a salesman, and that few have equaled, none surpassed, him in holding the attention of great crowds—and that, at times, under unfavorable conditions. John G. Ingalls is best remembered for his celebrated oration on "Grass "—a classic in American oratory, as is also the oration of George G. Vest on The Dog," and that of the late Gen. John M. Palmer, former United States Senator and former governor of Illinois, on "Corn." But for depth of sentiment and elegance of diction and universality of application, these are are equaled, if not surpassed, by Colonel Perry 's eulogy on the "Cow," written in poetical form and never yet published. This address as delivered by him has stirred thousands to the profoundest depths of feeling. Colonel Perry finds great satisfaction in the supervision of his fine farm estate, the same being a model in permanent improvements and in modern facilities and accessories. He has erected several buildings in Columbus, and still owns in the capital city the valuable property known as the Colonel's Court. As a young man Colonel Perry wedded Miss Carrie Best, of Champaign County, and she is survived by three children, Nolan Penn and Alden Playfair, who are engaged in the plumbing business in Columbus, and Ilo Lavaun, who is the wife of Raymond Hayes, of this city. For his second wife the Colonel married Minerva Beck, of New York City, and she is the popular chatelaine of their beautiful rural home. They have no children. C. A. GAETZ. One of the prominent business corners in the down town district of Columbus is occupied by the music store of C. A. Gaetz, an expert in every phase of the manufacture and repair of musical instruments. A number of years ago he started a small shop in Columbus for repair work, and his modest enterprise has rapidly grown into one of the best known musical instruments and musical merchandise stores in Ohio. In early youth he was apprenticed to learn the trade of manufacture and repair of band and musical instruments in one of the famous factories in the City of Graslitz, in what was formerly Bohemia, now part of Czecho-Slovakia. He had a service of three years there, and then continued his education in other factories in Europe, including that in which the famous Kruspe instruments are made, said to be the finest in the world. Also, in accordance with the requirements of apprenticeship in Europe in those days, he attended for a certain period a school of instruction in his profession, and came under real masters, so that his education has been a most thorough one in the mechanics and technique of musical instruments, including all band and orchestral instruments, brass and wood wind, reed, and stringed instruments, also percussion instruments. After coming to America in 1906 Mr. Gaetz spent several years as a journeyman expert repair worker in New York, Chicago and Columbus, and in 1911 became permanently established in Columbus, when he founded the present C. A. Gaetz business. At first he had a shop for the repair of musical instruments, but from that he soon gave a wider scope to his enterprise, adding a sales department of musical instruments, including not only those for band and orchestra, but pianos, victrolas and miscellaneous musical merchandise. His business in all departments is now a highly prosperous one. Mr. Gaetz owns the valuable property at the southeast corner of Long and Front streets where his store and workrooms are located, from 49 to 53 on West Long Street, and from 114 to 116 on North Front Street. The entire building on this site will eventually be occupied by Mr. Gaetz' growing business. JOHN S. MACLEAN. Among the prominent and thoroughly reliable business men of Columbus, Ohio, few are held in higher personal esteem than John S. MacLean, senior member of the firm of the J. S. MacLean Company, manufacturers of store and office fixtures and builders' mill work. Mr. MacLean has had a long experience in his special line, and has been a resident of Columbus for the past thirty-six years. John S. MacLean was born at Rosneath, Dumbartonshire, Scotland, May 29, 1858, a son of John and Margaret (Colquhoun) MacLean, highly respected people of the village. His early education was carefully looked after in the parish schools and later in Rosneath Academy. Marked talent in drawing led to his entering the offices of J. Laurie Fogo, a prominent architect of Glasgow, Scotland, where he was under instruction for two years, but close application resulted in a breakdown in health. He returned then to his home in Rosneath and entered the employ of his father, who conducted a woodworking business there, where he remained until 1.879. In the above year Mr. MacLean started out for himself, leaving his old home in Scotland and coming to North America. He located first at St. Mary 's, Ontario, Canada, but later removed to London, Canada, where he remained until 1884, when he came to the United States, and for the next four years had charge of the drafting room of 0 'Donald-Spencer & Company at Saginaw, Michigan, a position for which he was well qualified in every way. In 1888 Mr. MacLean came to Columbus and became a partner in the firm of Elliott, MacLean & Co., which established a factory at the foot of Randolph Street. Disaster met the firm in December of the HISTORY OF OHIO - 301 same year through the accidental burning of the factory, but by March, 1889, a new building had been secured on Spring Street, and Mr. MacLean, under changes and expansion, has been identified with this concern ever since. Mr. Elliott retired from the firm in 1899, after which Mr. MacLean continued alone. In 1909 he purchased the Marvin woodworking business and combined the two plants, which he operated under his own name until he admitted his two sons to partnership, when the present style of the J. S. MacLean Company was adopted. The MacLean plant makes a specialty of the manufacture of cabinet wood work, store fixtures and fine interiors for both residences, public and commercial buildings, one of the company's large permanent contracts being the manufacture of store fixtures for the stores of the F. W. Woolworth Company. It has grown to be one of the most prosperous industries of the City of Columbus, and has been built up on a sound foundation of business integrity. In 1883 Mr. MacLean married at St. Mary's, Ontario, Miss Mary Grant, and they have four children: Margaret R., Flora E., John Norman and Alexander Archibald, Mr. MacLean )taking great satisfaction in the fact that the sons have developed into thrifty, capable business men and with the same ideas of business thoroughness and honorable business principles that he has always cherished. Mr. MacLean for many years has been an earnest advocate of the Single Tax. He enjoyed the personal acquaintance and friendship of the late Henry George, the founder of this modern school of political science, and in the teachings of that economic emancipator he believes lies the remedy for many public evils. He has the honor of being president of the Ohio Site Value Taxation League, which is doing yeomen work in promulgating Single Tax principles, while Mr. MacLean, himself, has delivered various addresses on this subject before representative commercial bodies, including the Chamber of Commerce at Columbus, of which body he has been an active member for many years and for two years was a member of its Board of Directors and a participant in the weekly discussions of the Chamber of Commerce Forum. He is also keenly interested in present industrial problems, being one of the too few business and industrial leaders who through study and investigation have acquired a scholarly knowledge of these questions and believes this knowledge should be extended to the public at large, for the public good. He is a Scottish Rite Mason and Shriner. EDMUND CONE BRUSH, M. D. D. A. C. S., has been a member of the medical profession in Ohio for nearly half a century.

He served fifteen years as president of the Zanesville Athenaeum, and orginated the plan to incorporate this with the McIntire Public Library in 1904. Doctor Brush was for over twenty-five years identified with the Ohio National Guard, beginning as a captain and subsequently was colonel of the First Light Artillery.

He is a member of the Reserve Surgeons U. S. A. and the Military Surgeons of the United States. Doctor Brush not ony performed efficiently the routine of duties involved in his army service, but was a student of army affairs. As a young man of twenty-five he wrote an article for the Century Magazine advocating that the National Guard of the United States be incorporated into a system under Federal control and supervision, very much along the same lines the pres- ent Federalized militia follows. Doctor Brush has prepared many articles on medical and surgical subjects for professional magazines. He is a recognized authority on fractures of the skull.

The name Bailey in Muskingum County for nearly a century has been associated with substantial achievements and interests. The Baileys have been pioneers in industrial and manufacturing enterprises, and also in banking and public affairs. James McConnell Bailey, representing the third generation of the family at Zanesville, is an attorney by profession, but has given much of his time to business management. His grandfather, Leonard Perry Bailey, had the distinction of manufacturing the first organ west of the Alleghany Mountains.

EDWARD E. FISHER is president of Edward E. Fisher Company, morticians, a business founded by his father and which has rendered a continuous service in Columbus for over half a century. Mr. Fisher is one of the most prominent men in his profession in Ohio. The Fisher family is an old and honored one in Franklin County. His grandfather was a pioneer settler in Hamilton Township of Franklin County and in his day an extensive land owner, having large tracts of land northward from Hamilton Township along the Scioto River, practically to the Marion County line. Capt. Edward Fisher, father of Edward E., was born near Columbus in Hamilton Township, August 27, 1832.

A member of the Zanesville bar a quarter of a century, Eugene Ferdinand O'Neal has practiced law to the exclusion of many business opportunities that have been presented to him, and has satisfied his early ambition by becoming a thorough and tested lawyer, head of one of the largest firms engaged in general practice in Muskingum County. Mr. O'Neal was born on a farm in Washington Township of Muskingum County, July 14, 1871, son of Samuel Ferdinand and Martha (Wheeler) O'Neal.

As a law enforcement officer no prosecuting attorney in the State of Ohio has made a more conspicuous record than C. A. Maxwell of Zanesville. He is an able lawyer, and for a number of years carried on an extensive private practice. Through those years he was a volunteer worker and leader in the prohibition cause, and when he became a candidate for prosecuting attorney of Muskingum County it was on a dry platform and one advocating strict law enforcement. Mr. Maxwell was born on a farm near Jewett in Harrison County, Ohio, March 25, 1864. The Maxwells were pioneers in Ohio. His grandfather, Robert Maxwell, was an Indian scout during the early settlement of Ohio. Walter Carson Maxwell, father of the prosecuting attorney, spent his life as a farmer in Harrison County, where he was born in 1817 and died in 1903.. He was always a democrat, and was a trustee of his Presbyterian Church. He married Mahala Hoobler, who was born in Harrison County in 1824, and died at the age of eighty-two. Clement Allison Maxwell decided to become a lawyer while a boy on the home farm. His education in the country schools was supplemented by attendance for three years at the Hopedale Normal, and for two and one-half years he was a student in Ohio Northern University, where he was graduated with the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1888. During the following two years he taught school, and at the same time he diligently pursued the study of law. For one .year he was a student in the Cincinnati Law School, from which he was graduated Bachelor of Laws in 1891. While in college Mr. Maxwell played baseball, and has always been fond of outdoor activities. His career as an active member of the Zanesville bar began September 20, 1891. While he conducted a general practice, his time was chiefly taken up with commercial law. It was in 1920, on the democratic ticket, that he was first elected prosecuting attorney of Muskingum County. He ran ahead of his ticket in that election by seven thousand votes., When he was reelected in 1922 he had the distinction of being the only successful candidate on the democratic ticket. In his first term his record of law enforcement gave him a statewide reputation. During his first term he secured fines for bootleggers aggregating over $100,000, and prosecuted more than one hundred and fifty liquor cases in the various courts of Muskingum County and the City of Zanesville. During that time he secured the first penitentiary sentence for illicit making of whiskey. Mr. Maxwell has proved a terror to bootleggers, and all offenders of the law recognize him as an official of courage, determination and incorruptibility. One characteristic that stands out in his official record is that in directing raids he had always accompanied the officers, where possible. In the performance of his duty he has been undeterred by frequent threats of assassination. Before becoming prosecuting attorney Mr. Maxwell had charge of four campaigns as manager and publicity director for the Muskingum County Dry Federation. He was one of the organizers of this federation. Each campaign he conducted made Zanesville and the county more completely committed to the enforcement of the prohibition law. Mr. Maxwell for twenty years acted as attorney for the Humane Society, and served as city solicitor of Zanesville in 1897-99-1901-03. For ten years he was superintendent of the Sunday school, is teacher of the Woman's Bible Class and has been an elder for several years in the Brighton Presbyterian Church. He is one of the charter members of the Zanesville Kiwanis Club, and he took a prominent part in all the war campaigns. He is past chancellor commander of McIntire Lodge No. 38, Knights of Pythias. His experience in law enforcement has made him a very popular speaker, and he has been called to speak on that subject all over the state. He has appeared at Xenia, Washington Court House, Dayton, Cleveland, Columbus, Warren, Niles, Youngstown, Ravenna, Akron, New Lexington, Cambridge, McConnellsville and other places. In November, 1922, Governor Frank L. Davis appointed Mr. Maxwell to represent Ohio at the International Dry Conference at Toronto, Canada. Mr. Maxwell has one of the finest and largest private libraries in Zanesville. In spite of the heavy demands made upon him as an attorney, public official and in other capacities, no one enjoys his home more than Mr. Maxwell. His recreation is horticulture. He has accomplished some remarkable results in growing fruit, thoroughly understands all the technic of grafting and other operations, and he performs all the work in his splendid small orchard with its various kinds of fruit. He takes a lively interest in the Muskingum Horticultural Society. On September 20, 1899, Mr. Maxwell married Miss Edith C. Miller, a native of Zanesville, and daughter of Nicholas and Katherine (Goebel) Miller. Her parents were born in Germany. Her mother died in 1900, at the age of fifty-six. Her father for over forty years was in the employ of the Blandyn Machine Company at Zanesville, and is now living retired at the age of eighty-eight. He is a member of the Evangelical Church. Mrs. Maxwell is a member of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, and is active in various church societies of the Presbyterian denomination. Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell have two interesting children. Mildred E., who graduated from Ohio State University in 1924, was the second girl to complete the chemical engineering course at that institution, and received the degree Bachelor of Chemical Engineering. The son, Howard M., has made splendid records in his school work, and has had the advantage of constant access to his father's library. Recently he graduated from the grammar grades with a record of having received A grades throughout the entire eight years except at one time in one study. WILLIAM M. BATEMAN. Left fatherless at the age of six years and having to work hard on the farm to help support his mother, William M. Bateman though deprived of a number of early advantages cherished constantly an ambition for a career that would offer his talents full expression in a commercial way, and he long since achieved that ambition. Evidence of this is found in the numerous positions of business and financial prominence and civic trust he enjoys in his home city of Zanesville. Mr. Bateman was born on a Washington Township farm in Muskingum County, February 22, 1856. The Batemans were a pioneer family there. His father, Penrod Bateman, was born in Washington, Pennsylvania, and engaged in farming in early years. In 1858 he became a contractor, and built a section of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad through Muskingum County. He was also elected and served one HISTORY OF OHIO - 307 term as sheriff of Muskingum County. He was one of the early republicans, and in 1861 was appointed postmaster of Zanesville. In addition he performed many other duties for the Union cause. He was also a stockholder in the Muskingum Bank, one of the first banks of Zanesville. He was a member of the Market Street Baptist Church and the Masonic Order. Penrod Bateman was born in 1820, and died in 186p, when only forty-two years of age and before he had achieved a competence for his family. His wife was Elizabeth Mears, a native of England, who was eleven years old when she came to Muskingum County with her parents. She was married here, and died in 1897, at the age of seventy-nine. William M. Bateman was next to the youngest in a family of six children. After the death of his father his mother had to return to the old farm, and most of his education was acquired in country schools. In those years of labor he learned every detail of farming. For a number of years he has been a farm owner, and has more than ordinary knowledge that would classify him as a "dirt" farmer. He had to work to secure such education as could not be acquired in the local schools. Through his own earnings and efforts he kept himself in Denison University at Granville, Ohio, three years. In 1881, at the age of twenty-five, and with limited means, Mr. Bateman came to Zanesville and engaged in the undertaking business. The firm was Arnold & Bateman until 1907, and since then for a period of over thirteen years it has been Bateman & Mangold, funeral directors and embalmers, a business that now, as always, represents the finest type of service. Early in his business career Mr. Bateman became a director in the Union National Bank of Zanesville He was on the board until this bank was merged into the First National Bank. He was director and vice president of the First National until 1920 when he succeeded W. P. Sharer, when the latter retired from the presidency. Mr. Bateman was one of the organizers and for fourteen years was president of the American Trust and Savings Bank. This bank in 1920 was sold to the First National Bank, and has since been the First Trust and Savings Bank, of which Mr. Bateman is president. It is a state bank, equipped for a general trust business. The First National Bank of Zanesville was organized February 24, 1863, and is one of the oldest national banks in the country. It is the oldest, largest and strongest bank in Zanesville, having resources of over $7,000,000. Mr. Bateman is also one of the organizers and is president of the Eclipse Laundry Company. He is president of the Mosaic Tile Company, a $2,000,000 corporation, with head offices in New York City. The factory is at Zanesville. This company manufactures floor, wall and ornamental tile, specializing in ceramic Roman Mosaic: Mr. Bateman is also vice president of the Brush McCoy Pottery Company, and thus is identified with the industry that has long given Zanesville a chief distinction among Ohio cities. Mr. Bateman indulges his fad for farming by the ownership of five large farms, including the old place where he was born. These are general farming and stock raising propositions. Mr. Bateman has been president of the Zanesville Bankers Association, and is a member of the State and American Bankers associations. During his forty odd years of residence at Zanesville his time and efforts have been given and enlisted in movements for betterment along commercial, educational and civic lines. For several years he was a director of the old Board of Trade, and held a similar office with the Chamber of Commerce. He was president of the Chamber of Commerce for 1923. In 1910 he became a member of the Board of Directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway Young Men's Chris- tiara Association. He was on the board three years, and then helped reorganize it as a regular Young Men's Christian Association, open to the boys and young men of the entire community as well as railway employes. His interest in young men is one of his dominant characteristics. He has been conscious of his own early limitations of opportunity, and has done what he could to give other young men a fair start and a good chance. In order that the Young Men's Christian Association might realize the full scope of the influence of such an institution, a suitable building' and equipment were required. Mr. Bateman and W. M. Shinnick, with whom he had been intimately associated in business many years, provided large subscriptions that made possible the erection of the beautiful Young Men's Christian Association building completed in 1922. This building is a fine brick structure, providing rooms for a hundred young men who live there, and is also equipped with cafeteria, spacious lobbies, reading rooms, gymnasium, swimming pool and other facilities. Mr. Bateman served several years as a trustee of the Market Street Baptist Church. He is a trustee of Muskingum College at New Concord, Ohio, is a trustee of the Helen Purcell Home for aged ladies, and served two terms on the Zanesville City Council and two terms on the Board of Education. He was prominent in all the war activities in Muskingum County. Mr. Bateman is a democrat, is a member of the Exchange Club, the Zanesville Golf Club, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks No. 114, and in Masonry is affiliated with Amity Lodge No. 5, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, Zanesville Chapter No. 9, Royal Arch Masons, of which he is past-high priest, Cyrene Commandery No. 10, Knights Templar, and Amrou Grotto, Mystic Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm. Mr. Bateman has two children by his first wife, Ella Carter, of. Zanesville; Fred W., with the Western Wholesale Drug Company at Los Angeles; and Ruth, Mrs. Fred Bender, of Los Angeles. The present wife of Mr. Bateman bore the maiden name of Mary H. Heenan. She is active in social and club work at Zanesville, and is a member of the Market Street Baptist Church. They have five children: Mary Elizabeth and William. M., both students in Denison University; James H., attending the Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania; and Edmund A. and Helen Jean. JAMES R. MARKER. Men are wise who follow that profession or trade towards which early indication bends them. A thwarted desire often leads to a dismal failure, while a free scope to youthful ambition seldom marks other than happy and gratifying success. It is well when parents recognize this unfailing law of nature. James R. Marker leaned toward civil engineering from his youth, and when opportunity came he eagerly grasped and followed the way which led to the realization of his boyish dream. No one knows what might have been the outcome had he chosen another profession, but it is certain that it could not have brought a larger measure of good, either to himself or the people who have felt in manifold ways the benefits of his skill. Highways are an important factor in the development of a state, and the helpful part they play is in proportion to the stability of their structure and the adoption of a plan by which each is dependent upon the other and work towards the formulation of a complete system, where every road contributes its share, like the functioning of the different organs in a healthy body. This was early taken note of by Mr. Marker, and he saw the need of such a scheme in Ohio, if the state were to take its rightful place 308 - HISTORY OF OHIO among the commonwealths of the nation in highway improvement. When Governor Harmon appointed Mr. Marker highway commissioner in June, 1911, the dream for putting into operation the things which had been carried in the pocket of his mind was opened, and he proceeded forthwith to put them into effect. With the commencement of his work in this department began the great advance in the highway system of the state. The first two years of his administration were years of planning, but they constituted a fruitful period. During that time the Inter-County Highway system and the Main Market roads of Ohio were established under the direct supervision of Mr. Marker and in conformity with his ideas. Then came 1913. People had begun to wonder and talk, and they pointed with open pride to our highways, to those who came to visit from other places. Mr. Marker had said, "The hope of a state lies in the worth of its roads," and the truth of this was being shown. It was in this year, 1913, when James M. Cox was governor, that the Legislature, at the earnest request of Mr. Marker, passed the half mill levy law for road work. The planning period was not over. The new law gave increased funds, and out of this money started the great constructive era which has continued since. It is not to be thought a matter of surprise that other states, quick to sense the advantages of the road system being put into effect here, should have sent their trained engineers and experts to study and copy it. Out of this plan conceived and developed by Mr. Marker, while still a young man, has come the basis of highway improvement work throughout the country. It is a tribute not easily earned but well worth all of toil and study which were demanded. In speaking of 1913, when the great constructive period of Ohio road building was given birth, the mind must trail back to the year before, 1912, because they are so closely related in this story of what Mr. Marker has done and the part he has taken in bestowing upon the people the great benefits of improved highways. In this year-1912—Congress awakened from its lethargy and visioned the need of federal aid in carrying out the plan of so gigantic an undertaking as giving good and passable roads from coast to coast. Before, the members had hoped to leave each state do its own work and link up with the states adjoining, while they, if so fortunate as to own an automobile, could ride home to constituents and enjoy the benefit. But urged on by Mr. Marker and other good road advocates, a realization of Government assistance was instilled into their minds, and the first appropriation for such a purpose was allowed and made available. It gave each state $10,000, a sum quite out of proportion to the needs—and this was bound up with traditional, congressional red tape and certain conditions, imposed by the Federal Burcau of Public Roads. The young highway commissioner of Ohio saw, however, the wonderful good it would do, and while other states were considering the plan of action to be followed and were derelict in taking advantage of the offer, he hurried on to Washington and made friends with those in charge of the distribution. No doubt it was this example of interest and aggressiveness which brought the gratifying result. In any event Ohio, instead of receiving $10,000, was given $120,000 out of the initial appropriation, or the full share of ten states, and Mr. Marker was recognized as one of the outstanding road experts of the country. Elated at his success and with a nucleus upon which to go, he returned, and forthwith there was begun the construction of national roads from Columbus to the East. One million and six hundred thousand dollars were awarded in contracts in 1913 on the national highway between Columbus and Wheeling, the state and counties joining with the Government in bearing the expense. It was the commencement of a Golden Era in the great plan of Ohio road improvement, as conceived by Mr. Marker, and out of it came the passage of the Federal Aid Act, through which Ohio has received millions of dollars. These were splendid days for Mr. Marker, tinged with no trace of blue, when he saw his ideas rapidly going into effect at home and in far off places. He served as highway commissioner from his appointment by Governor Harmon in June, 1911, throughout the administration of that official, the first term of Governor Cox and under Governor Willis, until his resignation on April 1, 1915. It is not strange he wore the badge of success, for his house was built on a solid foundation. In 1910 Governor Harmon desired a man to serve as chief engineer of the State board of Public Works. He canvassed a list and then decided upon Mr. Marker. The latter was young in years, but had given abundant evidence of ability. For two terms he had served as surveyor in his home county of Darke, and before that and after, followed his profession—civil engineering—with a constantly growing prestige. So when he came to the Board of Public Works he brought a mind filled with knowledge; a physical strength, gained by years of athletic training ; and a determination to fulfill the trust. His work placed him in charge of the canals and reservoirs of the state. The canals had largely fallen into a condition of uselessness, because of competition from other means of transportation, and the hey-day of their glory and tradition was past. Mr. Marker quickly saw this and set himself to the task of bringing about the abandonment of such parts of the canals as were no longer serviceable. He included in his plans changes in the conduct of the system and the doing away of the unnecessary portions of the nearly century old waterways, in a report, and his recommendations were incorporated into law by legislative enactment. The General Assembly during the session of 1910-11, under the administration of Governor Harmon, did many commendable and important things. Among other achievements was the enactment of the McGuire Bill. This was a conception of Mr. Marker's mind and had one most important and far reaching effect. Under it the State Highway Department was reorganized and lifted out of the swaddling clothes of experimentation to the useful plane of planning and construction. It has exercised a profound influence upon the department since and added immeasurably to its usefulness. At that time Mr. Marker had probably given no thought to the idea that he might later be called to serve as highway commissioner, but good roads were a thing close to his heart and his ideas, as shown in the bill, had much to do with his later selection. He was now serving as chief engineer of the Board of Public Works and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Ohio Good Roads Federation and increasing the scope of his usefulness in public service. Education plays an important part in the accomplishments of any man, but success is not spelled by that alone. There must be added the elements of native worth and determination if the cap sheaf is to crown the foundation. Mr. Marker possesses all of these. His birthplace was in Versailles, Darke County, Ohio, and here he passed his youth and young manhood. He was fortunate in ancestry. His parents were industrious, and this was instilled into the children. The father, who is stilling living, was christened Leonard at the time of his birth, June 9, 1846, a little west of Dayton, and he was four years HISTORY OF OHIO - 309 old when the family moved to the County of Darke. Here he met and wooed and married Miss Elizabeth Gertrude Reed, and they settled down to raise a family and share in the common lot of work and sometimes hardships of those early pioneers. Mr. Marker, the father, had learned the trade of a cabinet maker, and at twenty-one, seeing the larger opportunities of a village, moved to town, choosing Versailles, and here he announced to the people he had established the business of making cabinets. The public learned his worth and the business grew until it developed into a general line of furniture and service as an undertaker, and this he has followed during the years until now it is one of the leading establishments of that character in Darke County. Being a many sided man, he has found interest in other things. Membership is held in the Ohio Archaeological and Historical Society, and with pride he can point to a large and choice collection of relics and curios, including interesting remains of early Indian occupation in Western Ohio. It is worth a day's journey to see these, and by their side the guns, pistols and other reminders of pioneer and. revolutionary times. The learning which came from public schools inspired their son, James R. Marker, for a fuller education. So with the consent of his parents and their blessing he passed a year in Butler College, Indianapolis, and then entered the Ohio State University, Columbus. Here he graduated. in 1904, a full fledged civil engineer, with the degree Civil Engineer. He saw during his life in the university that a mind to function at its best requires a body properly attuned, and so he took to athletics. For four years, 1901, 1902, 1903 and 1904, he played on the varsity football team, as right tackle, and gaining a conspicuous reputation for worth and fairness. At times he would carry the ball from the fullback position, a thing but seldom done. Mr. Marker was one of the organizers of the Varsity "O" Association and its first president, being captain of his team. In school and social life he played a full part. There was membership in the Acacia (Masonic) fraternity and also the fraternity of Delta Upsilon, and in both of these he was prominent and helpful. But all of these things were but part of a definite aim. While still a senior in the Ohio State University Mr. Marker was given the unusual honor of being elected as surveyor of Darke County. Graduating in June, 1904, he moved to Greenville, the county seat, serving as deputy until September, when he took up the duties of the office for which he had been chosen by the people. He filled the office two terms, retiring in 1909. Then followed, by virtue of ability, his appointments as chief engineer of the Board of Public Works and state highway commissioner. After resigning from the latter, on April 1, 1915, under Governor Willis, he was chosen chief engineer for the Ohio Paving Brick Manufacturers Association. This is a position of vast importance. The association, an organization of paving brick manufacturers, is among the largest industries in the state, and the work of Mr. Marker calls into play the best of his engineering ability. A man who retains an affection for his old home has a heart filled with sentiment. Mr. Marker still maintains his voting and legal residence at Versailles, although business requires him to live in Columbus. During the years he has kept up a lively interest and taken a prominent part in the political affairs in Darke County, his congressional district—the Fourth—and that section of the state. For a number of years he was a member of the Darke County Democratic Committee. In 1920 he, with former Congressman J. Henry Goeke, was selected. as a dele gate to the Democratic National Convention at San Francisco, which nominated James M. Cox for president, and the same honor has been accorded him this year. He was elected without opposition, as a Fourth District delegate to the Democratic National Convention of June, 1924, held in the historical Madison Square Garden at New York. Nor has he been negligent in the call of patriotism. The flag of his country has meant something more than a mere symbol and has had a significant urge to duty, when occasion arose. During the great World war he enlisted for service at Greenville on November 9, 1918, and asked for immediate detail. While arrangements for this were being completed the armistice was signed and Mr. Marker was denied what had been a fond hope. For four years 1905, 1906, 1907 and 1908, he belonged to the Ohio National Guard, acting as first lieutenant of Company M of the Third Regiment. Mr. Marker realizes the need of physical exercise in the scheme of successful work. So he maintains his athletic interests and rides a horse and plays handball at the Young Men's Christian Association gymnasium, keeping himself as fit as the proverbial fiddle. He is former president of the Columbus Riding Club, a member of the Columbus Athletic Club, Young Men's Business Club, Columbus Country Club, a Thirty-second Degree Mason, Elk, Knight of Pythias, Ohio Engineering Society and American Association of Engineers. If a man is to know life at his best he must be happily married. Otherwise he has made a failure and overlooked a most important step. Mr. Marker had a clear conception of this when on June 27, 1922, he wed Miss Virginia Hall, of Columbus, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Edwin Hall, of 29 South Monroe Avenue. Mrs. Marker, like her husband, is an alumnus of the Ohio State University, graduating with the class of 1919, with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. While in that institution she was a member of the Delta Delta Delta Sorority. Mr. and Mrs. Marker have two children, a daughter, Virginia Hall, and a son, James Reed, Jr., born on Saturday, May 24, 1924. Mrs. Marker, like her husband, has the ancestry which has meant much in the best life of American development. Her grandmother 's uncle, Thomas Ritchey, was a member of the National House of Representatives in the early days when being a mem- ber of Congress was a thing which set men apart as of unusual ability. It was he who named and secured the appointment of Gen. Phil Sheridan as a cadet at West Point. Thereby hangs an interesting tale. Mr. Ritchey was a storekeeper and large land owner in the little town of Somerset, Perry County, a man of high standing and commanding influence. General Sheridan's father was a contractor who had journeyed from New York to Ohio to assist in the building of the Maysville Pike, which runs from Maysville, Kentucky, across the Ohio River, through Lancaster, Somerset, Chillicothe and Zanesville, Ohio, and at the latter place meets the National Pike and goes on, with new importance, to the East. Young Phil Sheridan came with his father. Being industrious and useful, he served as a water boy. Mr. Ritchey saw the lad, took a liking to him and gave him a position in his store. The liking grew with the years and, when the time came, young Sheridan was recommended for the West Point cadetship. It was honor enough to make the heart of any young, ambitious boy beat a little faster and his head go up a little higher to be recommended for West Point at all. But it was a double distinction to be recommended by so prominent a man—one of such good parts—as Thomas Ritchey. But there was added this feature of great satisfaction. It con- 310 - HISTORY OF OHIO firmed Mr. Ritchey 's faith in young Sheridan and was an evidence of that friendship which remained unbroken through the years. How wonderfully this faith was justified by General Sheridan's future career. To his part in the Civil war, his famous ride to Winchester, twenty miles away, and his place in the development of our country, we, the benefactors, are indebted to Mr. Ritchey. The latter was a man of great ability and striking personality. He was born of good ancestry in Pennsylvania in 1798, when John Adams was president and all west of the Alleghany Mountains almost an undiscovered country. It was as a boy he came to Ohio and settled, with his parents, near Somerset, where most of his life was passed on a large farm. Law early held his attention. At night, when other members of the family were asleep, young Ritchey sat before the fickering rays of the tallow dip and studied his books. He was early admitted to the bar, and for years was a leading attorney of Perry County. Every man who was worth his salt took a part in politics in those days. Mr. Ritchey affiliated himself with the democratic party and raised his voice and gave his efforts to the success of its principles. His neighbors saw the force of his intellect, and in 1846 elected him to the Thirtieth Congress, as a mem- ber of the National House of Representatives, from the Thirteenth Ohio District, comprising the counties of Perry, Morgan and Washington. He was reelected in 1848, 1850 and 1852. His last election-1852came from a larger and reconstructed district and was an evidence of continued faith on the part of the pcoplc. It was the Eleventh District and included the counties of Perry, Fairfield, Hocking, Vinton, Athens and Meigs. It was during his second term1848-1850—that Mr. Ritchey, with a keen appreciation of human nature and looking into the future and what it would develop, appointed Philip H. Sheridan as a cadet at West Point. Because Mrs. Marker's ancestors served in the Revolutionary war she is a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and, likewise, because of the servicc of these ancestors she has already received double bars in that organization. This finds justification in the fact that two of her forefathers were on the American side in that conflict and gave valiant service. She is also eligible to membership in the Colonial Dames. Mr. Marker is entilted to membership in the Sons of the American Revolution because of the distinguished services of his ancestors. His great-great-great-grandfather, on his mother 's side, George Ward, a doughty pioneer of Virginia, when men's hearts were tried, served in the Revolutionary war, under Mad Anthony Wayne. He also had two brothers who served in the American army. One of his sons, David Ward, Mr. Marker's great-great-grandfather, was the first settler in Versailles, took a prominent part in the town's development and had reached the good old age of ninety-five when he died and was mourned by his neighbors. WILBERT C. BATEMAN, M. D., is one of the representative physicians and surgeons of his native county, where he has been established in the successful practice of his profession, in the City of Zanesville, since the year 1897. He is a scion of an old and well known family of Muskingum County. His paternal grandfather, John Bateman, was born at The Blades, in Washington County, Pennsylvania, a son of John and Mary Bateman, who came to Ohio and established their residence in Muskingum County when John, Jr., was a lad of eight years. At the age of ten years John Bateman, Jr., was indentured, or "bound out," to learn the tanner's trade, and at the age of sixteen he engaged in boating enterprise on me Muskingum River. In this connection he voyaged down the Mississippi River to New Orleans, and on one occasion, after going to that city on one of the first down boats of the season, he made the return trip to Ohio by walking virtually the entire distance. He later became a contractor in connection with the construction of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and thereafter was engaged in lumber enterprise, including the operation of saw mills. From 1854 to 1865 he was engaged in farming in Muskingum County, and he then moved to Indiana, where he passed the remainder of his life, his death having occurred at Kokomo, that state, in 1900. Dr Wilbcrt Charles Bateman was born on a farm near Taylorsville, Muskingum County, July 29, 1867, and is a son of Samuel Bateman, who was born in the vicinity of Gilbert Station, this county, in 1838, and who was here reared to adult age. He was one of Ohio 's gallant representatives in the Civil war. He enlisted in 1861 as a private in Company C, Seventy eighth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in which he became first sergeant and with which he saw two years of service at the front. At the expiration of his term of enlistment he reenlisted, in 1864, and was made first lieutenant of Company G, One Hundred and Fifty-ninth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, with which he served until the close of the war. He took part in many engagements, including those of Pittsburg Landing and Fort Donelson. After the close of the war Mr. Bateman gave his attention to farm enterprise and saw-mill operations, and in 1871 he was appointed lumber inspector for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, a position which he retained for a term of years. He is now living retired in the City of Zanesville, and is one of the venerable native sons of Muskingum County. He married Miss Harriet L. Wright, of Louisville, Kentucky, and she was sixty-five years of age at the time of her death, in 1901. Doctor Bateman is indebted to the public schools for his early education, and at the age of ten years he became a cash boy in the Zanesville dry goods store of H. H. Sturtevant. At the age of sixteen he entered the service of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, as an apprentice in its shops at Newark, Ohio. He was later employed by the Blandy Machine Company, and became a skilled machinist. He continued his studies at night and followed his trade until he met with an accident that measurably incapacitated him. He soon afterward entered Starling Medical College, now the medical department of the University of Ohio, at Columbus, and in this institution he was graduated as a member of the class of 1897, with honorable mention. He received his degree of Doctor of Medicine on the 25th of March of that year, and shortly afterward he opened his office in the City of Zanesville, where he has since continued in successful practice, and where he gives special attention to gynecology and obstetrics, with high reputation in this important phase of professional service. He is local surgeon for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and is actively identified with Muskingum County Medical Society, the Ohio State Medical Society and the American Medical Association. He has served as city health officer, and was for eleven years a member of the Zanesville Board of Education, in which connection he found opportunity to do much in advancing educational work here, one of his dominant hobbies being to give to the young folk the best possible educational advantages. He was one of the members of the committee that framed the new city charter when the commission form of municipal government was adopted by Zanesville. November 5, 1895, recorded the marriage of Doctor Bateman and Miss Della E. Flowers, of Adamsville, Ohio, her father, the late Thomas F. Flowers, having HISTORY OF OHIO - 311 been a successful farmer and later having engaged in mercantile business at Adamsville. Doctor and Mrs. Bateman have four children : Dr. Elvin J., who is now resident gynecologist at McGee Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, received from the University of Ohio the degrees of both Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine. Rolland received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from the University of Ohio, and is a member of the class of 1924 in the medical department of that institution. He enters Mercy Hospital for the years 1924-25. Fern is likewise a graduate of the Ohio University, and is now teacher of English in the Zanesville High School. Vesta was a member of the class of 1924 in the literary department of the University of Ohio, and is employed as high school teacher in Zanesville. ARTHUR. LOOPE BOWERS was manager of the Zanesville Chamber of Commerce for the period 1919-1923, and is one of the group of men who have done most to promote the commercial standing of that Southeastern Ohio city in recent years. He came to Zanesville through his interests in the clay products industry. He achieved high standing and authority on sewer pipe manufacture, a business with which he was identified for a number of years. Mr. Bowers was born at Wilcox, Pennsylvania, October 14, 1876. His father, John Lawrence Bowers, was a native of Sullivan County, New York, and for more than half a century was a grocery merchant at Wilcox, Pennsylvania, where he is now living retired at the age of eighty-one. He is a Mason, a democrat and a member of the Presbyterian Church. His wife, Florence Loope, was born in Kansas, sixty-eight years ago. Oldest of three sons, Arthur Loope Bowers spent his early years at Wilcox, Pennsylvania, where he attended the grammar and high schools. As a boy his ambition was directed toward the engineering profession. After high school he attended the Pennsylvania Military College at Chester. Leaving there he became identified with an Engineering Corps locating oil sites for the Standard Oil Company in the Pennsylvania fields. After this preliminary training he entered the engineering department of the University of Pennsylvania for post-graduate work. He was then just twenty-one years of age. The following year, when the Spanish-American war broke out, he went to Washington, D. C., and after examination was commissioned a second lieutenant by brevet. He was then sent as military instructor to his old school, the Pennsylvania Military College at Chester, and in addition to giving military instructions he was assistant professor of mathematics for six years. After this interesting chapter of work as an educator Mr. Bowers resumed his regular profession. At Pittsburgh he spent a year as engineer for the laying out of the town of Clairton for the St. Clair Improvement Company. For four years he was assistant chief engineer for the National Tube Company at McKeesport, Pennsylvania, and in 1907 he engaged in business for himself at Pittsburgh. However, this continued only a brief time, when he became an engineer on the Mount Rose Pumping project at North Pittsburgh for the International Construction Company. Following that he became representative engineer for all the sewer pipe manufacturers east of the Missouri River. His headquarters were Pittsburgh. While in these duties he wrote and published "Facts about Sanitary Sewers." Mr. Bowers next became chief engineer of the American Sewer Pipe Manufacturing Company, and was soon promoted to assistant sales manager, then to manager of the Western branch. In 1916 he came to Zanesville Ohio, as general manager for the Burton Townsend Company, brick manufacturers. He had executive charge of the operations of that company for four years, until 1920. In 1919 he was prevailed upon to accept the post of manager of the Zanesville Chamber of Commerce. During the period he filled that position he made the chamber a live organization, exerting a constant influence for the proper development of Zanesville as a metropolis of Southeastern Ohio. In 1923 Mr. Bowers engaged in the insurance business as representative of the Equitable Assurance Society, specializing in inheritance and business insurance. Mr. Bowers is intimately identified with all the local civic organizations. Since 1919 he has been secretary of the Zanesville Rotary Club, and is also secretary of the Zanesville Housing Company and the Zanesville Welfare Association. He is an elder in the Forest Avenue Presbyterian Church and teacher of the boys' class in Sunday school. In politics he is a republican, is a member of the Elks, and he pursues his favorite recreation on the links of the Zanesville Golf Club, while at home he finds other recreation in gardening. On March. 29, 1899, at Summerville, Pennsylvania, he married Miss Grace Virginia McKibbon. She was born at Pittsburgh, daughter of Dr. James McKibbon, a physician who practiced in Pittsburgh and Summerville. Mrs. Bowers has been active in club and social affairs at Zanesville. They have two sons, John L. and Arthur L. Jr. LIEUT.-COL. A. W. REYNOLDS, a veteran of two wars, and one of the prominent leaders in the Department of Ohio of the American Legion, has been a resident of Columbus thirty-five years, and is head and proprietor of a large plumbing establishment, a business with which he has been identified practically ever since he located in this city. Lieutenant-Colonel Reynolds was born at Birmingham, England, in 1870. However, members of the Reynolds family have been in Ohio for more than 100 years, and Lieutenant-Colonel Reynolds had many relatives in the state when he came here. He was reared and received his early education in England, and in 1887, at the age of sixteen, came to Columbus, where he learned the plumber 's trade. He has been in the plumbing business and on his own account since 1896. For twenty-one years his business headquarters were on Parsons Avenue near Oak Street. In 1922 he moved to a commodious new plant erected for his business, a substantial two-story brick structure, at 684 Oak Street. As a dealer in plumbers' supplies and plumbing contracts Lieutenant-Colonel Reynolds has handled a large share of the business in that line in Columbus and vicinity. His business has been built up on principles of strictly honorable dealing and satisfactory service. He had not been long in Columbus when in 1888 he enlisted as a private in the old Fourteenth Ohio Regiment of the National Guard. When the Spanish-American war came on ten years later he went into active service as a first lieutenant of the Fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. In the National Guard he rose to the rank of major. Early in 1917 Major Reynolds was called to the Federal service individually in advance of the National Guard and assigned to duty as construction quartermaster at Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Alabama. In the same capacity and with the rank of major he went overseas in June, 1918, with the Thirty-seventh Division. His command while in France was this division, and he was in service there until the spring of 1919. He received his honorable discharge May 9, 1919, and immediately resumed his connections with Ohio National Guard with the rank of lieutenant-colonel, G-4, Thirty-seventh Division Headquarters. Lieutenant-Colonel Reynolds is well known so- 312 - HISTORY OF OHIO cially and in civic affairs. He is a member of the chamber of commerce, Kiwanis Club, is a republican, and is a York and Scottish Rite Mason and Shriner, and a member of the Knights of Pythias and Independent Order of Odd Fellows. WILLIAM O. LITTICK, of Zanesville, judicial center and metropolis of Muskingum County, is a prominent figure in newspaper enterprise in this section of the state. He is president and general manager of the Zanesville Publishing Company, publishers of the Zanesville Times-Recorder and the Zanesville Signal, respectively morning and evening papers. William Oliver Littick was born on a farm in Coshocton County, Ohio, April 6, 1867, and is a son of Thomas and Malinda (Spencer) Littick, the latter of who died in 1868, at the age of twenty-cight years. Thomas Littick was born and reared in Coshocton County, and there passed most of his life, removing to Muskingum County late in life. He was one of the substantial farmers of the county at the time of his death, in 1876. He was born in the year 1829, a date that shows that the Littick family was founded in Coshocton County in the pioneer days. Left doubly orphaned when he was a lad of about ten years, William O. Littick acquired his early education in the public schools of Muskingum County. At the age of sevcnteen years he began teaching in the rural schools, but the pedagogic profession did not long retain him in its ranks, though he was successful in its work. At the age of nineteen years Mr. Littick entered the employ of the Times-Recorder Publishing Company of Zanesville, and for his service as mailing clerk he received the princely stipend of five dollars a week. He soon became a cub reporter, proved his resourcefulness in this capacity and made an excellent record while on the reportorial staff and finally won advancement to the position of managing editor. In 1903 he became business manager of the Times-Recorder, and in 1919 the Times-Recorder Company acquired the Zanesville Signal and the Zanesville Sunday News, these interests all being consolidated and for their control the Zanesville Publishing Company being incorporated. The former mailing clerk and cub reporter of the Times-Record is now president and general manager of this important and progressive corporation, which publishes the Times-Recorder, a republican morning paper with Associated Press service; the Zanesville Signal, democratic evening paper ; and the Times-Signal, issued on Sunday only as an independent paper. In his individual attitude and his publishing business Mr. Littick is incisively the apostle of the "square deal," is loyal and progressive as a citizen and makcs his personal influence and that of his admirable papers inure in every way to the benefit of the community. The Times-Recorder, issued every morning except Sunday, well merits its claimed reputation as the "unchallenged leader in news, circulation, advertising and enterprise." It is represented in membership in the American Newspaper Publishers Association and the Ohio Select List Publishers Association, of which Mr. Littick is vice president (1923). Concerning the three children of the first marriage of Mr. Littick the following brief data are available : Orville Beck, who is now associated with his father 's publishing business, was graduated from the Ohio Wesleyan University, with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, was prominent in college athletics, and after his graduation gave effective service as coach of athletic teams, his work in this capacity having done much to give its strength to the famous football team of Central College, Kentucky. Arthur Spencer, the second son, likewise received from Ohio Wesleyan University the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and he is now a teacher in the high school at Tulsa, Oklahoma. He served in the Signal Corps of the United States Army in the period of American participation in the World war. Henry Clay, youngest of the sons, did not permit his older brothers to excel him as a student, for he too, received from the Ohio Wesleyan University the degree of Bachelor of Arts. He has made a splendid record as an athletic coach, doing effective coach service at the Ohio University at Athens. While pursuing the study of law in New York City he was there a teacher in Alexander Hamilton Institute. He is now a member of the representative New York law firm of Banzhaf, Pembleton & Littick, and is a lecturer on business and corporation law in the University of the City of New York. In the World war period he attended the Officers Training School at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Kentucky, and there he received commission as a lieutenant of artillery in the United States Army. October 12, 1911, recorded the marriage of William O. Littick and Miss Bessie E. Jackson, daughter of the late Frank Jackson, of Zanesville, and the one child of this union is a daughter, Mary Malinda. Mrs. Littick is an active member of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church and the local League of Woman Voters, besides being a popular figure in leading clubs and in the general social and cultural circles of Zanesville. MOSES M. GRANGER. Into his professional stewardship Judge Moses Moorhead Granger threw the full powers of his strong and noble nature, his fine intellectuality and broad knowledge of the science of jurisprudcnce; in civic relations his loyalty and public spirit never faltered; and as a man among men he was animated and guided by abiding human sympathy, tolerance and kindliness. Such a man could not fail to leave indelible mark of individuality in the passing years of earnest and worthy achievement, and the name and memory of Judge Granger are revered in the city and county in which he was born and in which virtually his entire life was passed. Judge Granger was born at Zanesville, Muskingum County, Ohio, on the 22nd of October, 1831, and here his death occurred April 29, 1913. He was a son of James G. and Matilda Vance (Moorhead) Granger, and thus in his makeup came the strains of Colonial New England and patrician Virginia, his father having been representative of a family that was founded in Connecticut prior to the Revolution, and his mother having been a representative of an old and distinguished family line in Maryland and Virginia, though she was born in Belmont County, Ohio. James G. Granger was numbered among the early settlers of Muskingum County, was here influential in his day and generation, and here he and his wife maintained their home until their deaths. Judge Moses M. Granger acquired his earlier education in the common schools, and thereafter was afforded the advantages of one of the pioneer educational institutions of the West, historic old Kenyon College, at Gambier, Ohio, named in honor of Lord Kenyon of England and continuously maintained under the auspices of the Protestant Episcopal Church. In this college, still one of the great educational institutions of Ohio, Judge Granger was graduated as a member of the class of 1850. Thereafter he studied law under the preceptorship of Judge Charles C. Converse, of Zanesville, and his admission to the bar occurred January 3, 1853. Within the ensuing few years he made himself known as one of the resourceful and successful members of the Zanesville bar, which at that time had a number of other brilliant members, but when the nation was plunged into the vortex of Civil war Judge Granger laid aside the work of his profession and promptly tendered his service in defense of the Union. He was chosen captain of his HISTORY OF OHIO - 313 company, in the Eighteenth United States Infantry, in 1861, soon after war was declared, and his regiment thereafter served under General George H. Thomas, in Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. In 1862 he was transferred to the One Hundred and Twenty-second Ohio Volunteer Infantry and raised to the rank of major. He was thereafter promoted lieutenant colonel, and on the 19th of October, 1864, he was honored with the brevet rank of colonel of United States Volunteers. He lived up to the full tension of the great conflict, his activities having included service with the Eighth, Third and Sixth Army Corps in Grant's campaigns in Maryland and Virginia, and he having been also with Sheridan in that commander 's campaign in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. After the close of the war Judge Granger returned to Zanesville and resumed the practice of his profession. In later years his son, Sherman M., individually mentioned in the following sketch, was his associate in the control of the large law business, under the firm name of Granger & Granger. The Judge served as city solicitor of Zanesville in 1865-6, and in 1866 was the incumbent of the office of prosecuting attorney of Muskingum County when he was elected to the higher office of judge of the Court of Common Pleas for the Eighth Judicial District. His service on this bench continued until 1871 and brought to him further distinction and honor. From 1872 to 1877 he was official reporter of the decisions of the Ohio Supreme Court, and 1883-5 found him in service as chief judge of the Second Ohio Supreme Court Commission. In the midst of his manifold profession and official services Judge Granger found time to prepare and publish a number of articles and books. He was the author of two works of enduring historical value, namely: "Washington versus Jefferson," and " The Case Tried by Battle-1861-65." His record of the battle of- Cedar Creek is preserved in Volume 888 of the war papers of the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion, of which he was a valued member, as was he also of the Grand Army of the Republic. From 1865 until death Judge Granger was managing administrator of the educational trust created by the will of John Mclntire, the founder of Zanesville, and in this connection he had much to do with the establishing and ordering of the John McIntire Children's Home at Zanesville. He was a most zealous churchman and was influential in the affairs of the parish of St. James Church, Protestant Episcopal, in his home city. His civic liberality was unbounded and found many avenues of constructive expression. As a young man Judge Granger wedded Miss Mary Hoyt Reese, a granddaughter of the late Judge Charles Robert Sherman, who wrote his name large on the annals of Ohio jurisprudence. Mrs. Granger survives her honored husband, and the year 1923 finds her still an active factor in representative civic and social affairs at Zanesville, her gracious personality having gained to her the high regard of all who have come within the sphere of her influence. She has long been an earnest communicant of the Protestant Episcopal Church in her home city. Judge Granger is survived also by three children: Alfred Hoyt Granger, an architect, is engaged in the practice of his profession in the City of Chicago ; Sherman M., a retired lawyer; and Ethel, the widow of William Darlington Schultz, resides at Zanesville. SHERMAN M. GRANGER has honored in his native city of Zanesville, judicial center of Muskingum County, a profession that was here represented and greatly dignified by the character and achievement of his father, the late Judge Moses Moorhead Granger, to whom a memorial tribute is paid in the preceding sketch. Sherman M. Granger made for him- self, entirely aside from paternal prestige, a secure place not only as a successful member of the Ohio bar but also that of the State of New York, his law business long having been one of broad scope and importance, even as his capitalistic interests have included association with some of the leading corporations contributing to the industrial and commercial precedence of Zanesville. He has been influential in political and general civic affairs, and in his varied activities has never failed to meet emergencies and prove master of situations. One of the well known and honored citizens of Zanesville, he is now living virtually retired from professional work and business affairs, he having found it possible to effect this retirement on the 1st of January, 1923. Concerning the Granger family history adequate data are given in the preceding sketch, in the memoir dedicated to Judge Moses M. Granger. Sherman Moorhead Granger was born at Zanesville, on the 16th of June, 1870, a son of Judge Moses Moorhead Granger and Mary Hoyt (Reese) Granger, representatives of old and influential Ohio families. After due preliminary discipline Sherman M Granger entered. fine old Kenyon College, at Gambier, Ohio, and in this historic institution, maintained under the auspices of the Protestant Episcopal Church, he was graduated as a member of the class of 1890 and with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. In 1893, after postgraduate work, he received from this college the degree of Master of Arts. In the meanwhile he had studied law under the able preceptorship of his father, and had been admitted to the Ohio bar in 1892, the following year having brought him admission to practice in the Federal Courts of the state, and the year 1899 having marked his admission to practice in the State of New York, where he was for some time engaged in practice in New York City. In association with his father he was the junior member of the law firm of Granger & Granger, which was one of the foremost at the bar of Muskingum County, and this professional alliance was ended only by the death of the father in .1913. Among the more prominent business connections of Mr. Granger prior to his retirement were his service as vice president of the Zanesville Telephone & Telegraph Company, and as president of the Zanesville Canal & Manufacturing Company. He served with characteristic loyalty as a member of the City Council of Zanesville from 1896 to 1898, both inclusive, was a member of the Ohio Republican State Central Committee, 1912-14, and gave effective service also as a member of the Republican Executive Committee of Muskingum County as well as that of Zanesville, besides which he was a member of the Republican National Committee from 1912 to 1916. Mr. Granger was for many years a zealous trustee of the John McIntire Children's Home at Zanesville, and takes deep interest in all that concerns the civic and material welfare' of his native city and county. While engaged in practice in the national metropolis he became a member of the Bar Association of New York City and also the Ohio Society there maintained. He and his wife are zealous communicants of the Protestant Episcopal Church, he is affiliated with the Delta Kappa Epsilon and the Theta Nu Epsilon college fraternities, and is a member of the Zanesville Golf Club. On the 7th of February, 1900, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Granger and Miss Wanda Dawson Follett, of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Mrs. Granger is not only the gracious chatelaine of their beautiful home at Zanesville, but is also a popular factor in the representative social and cultural life of this community. JOHN W. ZUBER, president of the Columbus Tire & Rubber Company, one of the prospering and progressive younger industrial organizations of the city, 314 - HISTORY OF OHIO is an attorney by profession, and practiced law for a number of years in Paulding County. Mr. Zuber was born at Antwerp in Paulding County, May 2, 1873, son of John B. and Mary E. Zuber. As a boy at Antwerp he attended the local schools, and subsequently entered the University of Michigan, where he took the law course and received his law degree in 1894. The same year he returned to his native county and began practicc at Paulding, the county seat. Three years later, in 1897, the young lawyer was elected prosecuting attorney of Paulding County, and by reelection in 1900 held that office for six years. Following that he resumed private practice until 1909 when Governor Judson Harmon appointed him state fire marshal. He served as a state fire marshal throughout the four-year Harmon administration until 1913. In the meantime Mr. Zuber had removed to Columbus, and after retiring from the state office he organized and financed the American National Fire Insurance Company. He became its president, and continued active head until the company was established on a sound financial basis. The organization and financing of the Columbus Fire & Rubber Company was undertaken by Mr. Zuber in 1919. The business was incorporated in May, 1920, and soon afterward manufacture was begun in a fine modern plant built especially for the purpose on West Goodale Street. This company is engaged exclusively in the manufacture and sale of rubber tires and inner tubes. John W. Zuber is president and general manager ; R. M. Fountain, vice president; M. J. Miscoe, secretary and factory manager, and E. L. Savage, treasurer.

WILLIAM WORTH HARPER was a green country boy when he came to Zanesville forty-five years ago, and the qualities that have made him successful in business and citizenship have been developed within his own character and his individual experience. Mr. Harper has for many years been head of the W. W. Harper Company, wholesale grocers. He was born on a farm in Morgan County, Ohio, December 24, 1851. His father, James Harper, a HISTORY OF OHIO - 315 native of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, grew up on a farm, and in the early days was a teamster over the old National Pike, transporting goods from Baltimore west. His home for a number of years was in Belmont County, Ohio. Later he moved to Morgan County and became a stock raiser and drover, and in 1858 engaged in the mercantile business. He died in 1869, when fifty-six years of age. His wife, Jane Craig Dunn, was also a native in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and died when fifty-two years of age. In a family of nine children William Worth Harper was next to the youngest, and partly owing to this large household, the limited circumstances of his parents, and his individual initiative he learned when a mere boy to depend upon the exercise of his own talent to get what he wanted. His education was limited to the advantages of country schools. He was seventeen when his father died, and he and two of his brothers then took over the mercantile business established by their father in the village of Reinersville in Morgan County. He was a member of the partnership of Harper Brothers for about ten years. With this experience and with some capital beyond his assets of determination he arrived in Zanesville in 1878, having bought an interest in .the wholesale grocery firm of Deitz & Mason, which was then changed to Deitz, Mason & Harper.

VERNON HARRISON, manager of the Ohio department of the Redpath Lyceum Bureau and Redpath Chautauquas, is a native of Grinnell, Iowa, (October 22, 1879), the son of Daniel B. and Elizabeth Holland Harrison. His paternal grandparents came from England and settled at Martin's Ferry, Ohio, where Daniel B. Harrison was born. The latter was a soldier in the Civil war in Company C of the Ninety-eighth Ohio Infantry, and took part in the. Atlanta campaign and the march to the sea in General Sherman's army. The mother, Elizabeth Holland Harrison, was born in Harrison County, Ohio, of pioneer ancestry. She was educated in old Hopedale College, and was a teacher during the Civil war. When W. V. Harrison was four years of age his parents removed to Anita, Iowa, where. he had the advantage of elementary and high school training. Later he attended Drake University at Des Moines and the Ohio State University at Columbus. His first association with the lyceum business was in Iowa in 1901 under Keith Vawter, originator of the circuit Chautauqua. In 1905 he came to Ohio to be associated with his brother, Harry P. Harrison, now Redpath manager in Chicago. For seven years he conducted an intensive lyceum business in Ohio, West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky, then supplementing the winter business with the circuit chautauquas which he inaugurated in central territory in 1912.. In 1920 his Redpath organization took over the Lincoln Chautauqua System and in 1923 absorbed the Coit-Alber seven-day Chautauquas In Ohio. Besides being active manager of the Redpath Lyceum Bureau and Redpath Chautauquas at Columbus, Mr. Harrison also is a director of the Red-path Lyceum Bureau, nationally. He is a prominent figure in the Columbus Rotary Club, having served as president and for four years as a member of its board. of directors. He is a member of the Columbus Club, Columbus Athletic Club, Chamber of Commerce, Young Business Men's Club, Columbus Country Club, Crichton Club, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Goodale Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, Columbus Automobile Club, International Lyceum and Chautauqua Association, and the Union 320 - HISTORY OF OHIO League Club of Chicago. In Masonry he is a Knight Templar, a thirty-second degree Scottish Rite member, Aladdin Temple Shriner and a member of the Columbus Shrine Club. Personally, and with his Redpath Bureau organization, he has been active in practically all campaigns for the public welfare. During the World war Mr. Harrison and his business associates placed the Redpath organization at the service of the Government, establishing tents and providing talent for the entertainment of soldiers in camps and cantonments. His brother, H. P. Harrison, had the distinction of inaugurating "The Smileage Campaign" and was head of that constructive movement for war morale. In January, 1918, W. V. Harrison was appointed business manager of a commission of fourteen American Red Cross experts who went to France under the direction of Henry P. Davison, chairman of the finance committee of the American Red Cross. Mr. Harrison was on this mission for several months and as a Red Cross representative overseas was commissioned with the rank of captain. On March 14, 1923, Mr. Harrison was married to Miss Florence Lindenberg, daughter of Phillip and Clara King Lindenberg—a family long identified with Columbus history. The Redpath Bureau with which Mr. Harrison has been prominently identified since 1901 has had a pioneer part in practically all of the great problems of the last half century. James Redpath, who in 1868 founded the bureau which bears his name, was the originator and master of ceremonies of the first great Memorial Day following the Civil war. Until the early '70s only lectures were featured in the lyceum. In 1873 James Redpath introduced the Mendelssohn Quintet Club and from that day music and other forms of entertainment have been valuable adjuncts to the lecture. With James Redpath, in the early days of his bureau, were George H. Hathaway and Maj. James B. Pond. Mr. Hathaway is now president of the national Redpath Bureau and lives in Boston. Fifty years ago Redpath's Boston office disputed with the old corner book store for supremacy as a rendezvous for the great men and women of the time. Among those who appeared under Redpath management between 1868 and 1880 were Henry Ward Beecher, John B. Gough, Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner, Julia Ward Howe, Mary A. Livermore, Edward Everett Hale, Mark Twain, Josh Billings, T. DeWitt Tal- madge, James Whitcomb Riley, Schuyler Colfax, Bob Burdette, Bayard Taylor, Gen. Lew Wallace, James G. Blaine and Ralph Waldo Emerson. While the list of those who lectured under Red-path auspices fifty years ago is notable in history, of no less permanent importance perhaps are those who are now or recently have been booked by the Redpath Bureau. Some of these leaders in thought and action are Judge Ben B. Lindsey, Opie Read, Maud Ballington Booth, Strickland Gillilan, Lorado Taft, Henry J. Allen, Herbert Corey, Harvey W. Wiley, Joseph W. Folk, Woods Hutchinson and William Jennings Bryan. Conspicuous among Redpath entertainers are Ralph Bingham, humorist; Alton Packard, cartoonist; John B. Ratto, impersonator; Katherine Ridgeway, reader, and Hilton I. Jones, demonstrator of modern scientific discoveries. Dramatic productions also have become an important feature in the lyceum, along with various phases of music. Just as James Redpath was the founder of the modern lyceum, so Keith Vawter of the Redpath management originated the idea of the modern Chautauqua. Until 1904 those interested had to go to Chautauqua Institutions in New York or to a few scattered assemblies throughout the United States for their weeks of lectures, musical programs and entertainment diversions. Vawter conceived the circuit Chautauqua, whereby it is estimated that the Chautauqua is taken annually to 10,000 communities in the United States and Canada. Conservatively estimated, America's ninety-five circuits aggregate 36,000,000 annual admissions. Redpath Chautauquas were the pioneers in this great national movement, operating first in Iowa, Northern Missouri and Southern Minnesota. Today they reach, thousands of this country's most progressive communities. From Columbus, where W. V. Harrison is the manager, Redpath Chautauqua programs are arranged and conducted in practically every Ohio county, as well as in Western Pennsylvania and parts of West Virginia and Kentucky. Two Chautauqua circuits are operated from Columbus, and reach 170 towns and cities. While the first Chautauquas conducted by the Redpath organization were held in 1904, it was eight years later that the first Redpath circuit operated through Ohio. In that year the program included such attractions as Senator Frank J. Cannon of Utah; Judge A. Z. Blair of Ohio; Le Brun Grand Opera Company; Governor E. W. Hoch of Kansas; Judge Marcus A. Kavanagh of Chicago; Opie Read, novelist; Bohumir Kul and his band, and the Strollers Male Quartet. In the years that have followed, communities holding Redpath Chautauquas have heard such notable headliners as Hon. Joseph W. Folk; Dr. Edward A. Steiner; Dr. Harvey W. Wiley; Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus; Strickland Gillilan; Alice Nielsen, soprano; the Ben Greet Players; Ralph Bingham, humorist; Katherine Ridgeway, reader; Sir John Foster Fraser of England; Montaville Flowers of California; Alton Packard, cartoonist, and various dramatic, comedy and operatic productions. Offices of the Redpath Bureau are located in Columbus, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Birmingham, Alabama; Kansas City, Missouri; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Denver, Colorado; Los Angeles, California; New York City, New York; Rochester, New York; White Plains, New York; Orlando, Florida, and Toronto, Canada. W. V. Harrison, manager of the Ohio department, maintains offices at 55 South Sixth Street, Columbus. REV.

His recreation is gardening, and he also is a great lover of dogs and hunting, and usually has a vacation which he spends hunting in Florida every winter. FRED CLAIR KIRKENDALL. His boyhood ambition for the law was somehow diverted from its object, though he studied for a year or so, and the real career of Fred Clair Kirkendall has been in the field of education. His work in that line has made him notable as one of the educational leaders of the state. He is superintendent of schools at Zanesville, and has been identified with school work in several Ohio cities.' He was born on a farm near Wellston, in Jackson County, Ohio, September 12, 1870, son of William Jackson and Alvira (Smith) Kirkendall.

The modern City of Columbus has been .steadily increasing on territory that within the memory of people by no means old was typically rural and farm land. One of these modern additions to the city is the residential section 'known as Crestview, in the northern part of the city. Many of the handsome residences built in this district Occupy land that once belonged to the Weber farm. Some of the city's most interesting history centers about the old Weber farm and Weber lane, which is now Weber Road, a city street, which Frederick Weber built to connect with High Street in the early years. of his residence. Frederick Weber came to Franklin County in 1832, more than ninety years ago: He was born at Altanklaun, Kaiserlauteren, .Rheinbeyern, Germany, in 1806. Coming to the United States in 1830 he spent' a few months' in York County, Pennsylvania, then located at Canton, in Stark County, Ohio, and in 1832 settled in Franklin County, buying a farm in the central part of Clinton Township. He acquired sixty-five acres at that time. He moved with his family to the farm in 1834 and lived there until his death in 1885, having' in the meantime increased his holdings until his farm comprised more than 300 acres. Without money, prestige or friends, a stranger in a strange land, the language of which he could not speak or comprehend, Frederick .Weber came to the home of his adoption, but having learned in youth and early manhood the importance of thrift, industry through patience, perseverance and frugality he accumulated a competence for the necessary wants of his family and an independence for his declining years. Soon after coming here from Canton, while struggling to build a home for his wife and children, being conscious of the allegiance due to God, he united with the German Independent Protestant Church in Columbus, an act that he never regretted. The religion of his church was his comfort in his declining years. As noted above Frederick Weber in 1832 had the Weber lane established, running from the more recent Indianola Avenue to High Street, thirty feet wide. It was very swampy, so he built a corduroy road of small trees or saplings by laying them across the road with earth thrown over them to drive on. This lane has been a well traveled thoroughfare ever since. When it was graded for the present brick 322 - HISTORY OF OHIO street, small parts of the logs used in the corduroy road were found still in the ground. In 1892 the lane was widened and extended to Cleveland Avenue. Frederick Weber married Caroline Tascher. One of their sons, Herman P. Weber, who has had a prominent part in developing the Crestview community, where he has lived all his life, was born at the old Weber farm home, October 5, 1846. An older brother was the late Henry Adam Weber, one of the country 's most distinguished scientists, in reality the originator of the present pure food laws of the United States. For years he devoted much of his time to means and measures for abolishing impure and fraudulent manufactured food products and for raising the standard of quality. He was born at the old homestead, July 12, 1845, was educated in science both in this country and abroad, including the University of Munich, and was given the Doctor of Philosophy degree by Ohio State University in 1879. At one time he was professor of chemistry in the University of Illinois. For several years he was a manufacturer of sugar from sorghum. In 1884 he became professor of chemistry at Ohio State University. He was author of a text book in chemistry, which went through four editions, and was a member of scientific societies, both in this country and abroad. While the Government was prosecuting violators of the pure food law he was frequently called upon as an expert witness and it is said that he was never cross examined. The high esteem in which he was held at the Ohio State University is indicated by the tablet erected to his memory by his pupils in Townsend Hall on the university campus. The inscription on this tablet is as follows: "IN MEMORIAM, 1845-1912. HENRY ADAM WEBER. " "Eminent Scientist, Distinguished Public Servant, Gentleman, Scholar, Hospitable Friend, Beloved by his students, Esteemed by his Associates, Honored by the State, Pioneer in Agricultural Chemistry, one of the foremost in Pure Food Legislation and Control. In Grateful remembrance and loving appreciation of his services to this University and to the cause of Agriculture, his students have presented this tablet." Herman P. Weber was reared and educated in the district north of Columbus, and in his earlier years engaged in farming on the home place. Since 1911 he has sold much of the original farm for building sites, but he still lives where he was born, though in a modern and handsome residence which he built a few years ago. The value of the Weber farm ninety years ago was around $2.50 an acre. Many of the individual lots with improvements now represent more value than the entire farm did then. Mr. Weber in recent years has given most of his attention to the subdivision, development and sale of this property. He was one of the organizers and is president of the Industrial Loan Company of Columbus. He married Miss Medora Isabelle Maize, daughter of Samuel and Lovina (Goodwin) Maize. Her father, Samuel Maize, was of pure Scotch ancestry but born in the north of Ireland, and on coming to America at the age of eighteen years, located in Clinton Township, Franklin County, Ohio, in 1846, just south of Worthington, Ohio. Samuel Maize died in April, 1896, aged sixty-eight years. Lovina Goodwin Maize was born in Fairfield County, Ohio, October 3, 1828. She died March 6, 1922, in her ninety-fourth year. Mrs. Weber was born on what was known as the Case farm, near Columbus, Ohio, December 24, 1853. The three children of Mr. and Mrs. Weber are : Frederick Clarence, Mary Isabelle, and Leah Maize Weber. CHARLES LOUIS DRESSEL. Those vital movements that depend upon the energy and cooperation of public spirited business men are frequently the things that distinguish a live city from a moribund community. While giving his time to a successful private business, Charles Louis Dressel, of Zanesville, has becn one of the conspicuous young men in outside movements for making Zanesville live up to its opportunities as one of the most progressive cities of Ohio. Mr. Dressel was born at Columbus, Ohio, June 5, 1891. His parents were Edward H. and Margaret (Fye) Dressel. His mother, who died in 1905, was born at Grove City, Ohio.

His public school attendance ended with the seventh grade, but his education has been supplemented by attending night schools and the taking of correspondence courses. When he was nine years old he began selling newspapers, and after he left home, at the age of fifteen, he spent two years working as an apprentice pattern maker. He left that to find his real destiny in business affairs as a milk wagon driver with McGowan's Dairy at Columbus. Four years later he acquired a third ownership in the company, and when the business was sold to the Moores-Ross Dairy Company he remained with the new organization as city salesman in Columbus for five years. In 1920 he came to Zanesville to take the management of the Moores-Ross division of the Ohio Crane Company, ice cream manufacturers. This company has at Zanesville the finest and largest plant for the manufacture of that product in Southeastern Ohio. Along with the responsibilities of handling this business Mr. Dressel is an active member of the Chamber of Commerce, the Young Men's Christian Association, Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, the Boy Scouts movements, and is president of the Zanesville Kiwanis Club, being the second chief executive the club has had.

Her father is a farmer at Richwood, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Dressel have two sons, Richard L. and Charles, Jr. CHARLES EDWIN SWINGLE has for a great many years been a leader at the bar of Zanesville. He is a lawyer with a large clientele, and is a man of eminent public spirit, with his resources and time readily enlisted in causes of the public welfare. Mr. Swingle was born at Roseville, in Clay Township, Muskingum County, Ohio, October 25, 1860. His grandfather, George Swingle, came from Pennsylvania to Ohio in 1818 and established a pioneer farm in Brush Creek Township of Muskingum County. Frank Swingle, father of the Zanesville attorney, was born on that farm, October 26, 1831, and married Lucretia Springer, who was born in Newton Township, Muskingum County, in 1834. She passed away in 1914, aged eighty years.
