  MANUEL FURRY, farmer, P. O. Hutsonville, was born in Johnsville, Montgomery
Co., Ohio, September 20, 1832. His father, Martin Furry, was a native of
Washington County, Md., born in October, 1799. He was raised on a farm and
received a common school education. In 1832 he, with his family, emigrated to
Montgomery County, Ohio, where he remained actively engaged in farming until he
died in 1880. He was of German descent. His wife, and mother of our subject, was
born in Washington County, Md., in 1799, and died in Ohio in 1840. She was the
mother of nine children, of whom seven are now living, Manuel being the fifth
child. He remained with his parents, assisting in tilling the home farm and
receiving a common school education, until he was twenty-eight years of age. He
then enlisted in the last rebellion, in the Sixty-third Ohio Infantry, in the
company of Capt Colliflower. He was mustered out of the service in July, 1865,
at Camp Dennison. After the war, he removed to his present residence in Crawford
County, where he has since been engaged in farming. He is now the owner of
sixty-five acres of land. In 1860, in Johnsville, he married Miss Lydia A.
Horning, a native of Johnsville, Ohio. This union has been blessed with the
following children: Josephine E., Viola A., and Bernice B. Mr. Furry and wife
