JOHN H. ALLBAUGH
    John H. Allbaugh, one of the prosperous farmers and enterprising
business men of Stevens county,located upon the property on which he now
resides,and which he has wonderfully improved, in 1900. It lies five miles
west of Springdale, and is devoted to general farming and stock-raising. His
parents, Solomon and Eliza (Salisbury) Allbaugh, natives of Ohio, settled in
Carroll county, Indiana, when quite young. Here John H. was born,June 10,
1857, the oldest son of nine children. The father died in February, 1903;
the mother still lives. The family of children comprised Margaret, wife of
David Spitler, of Chattanooga, Tennessee; Amos W., James R., Matthew L.,
Solomon F., David E., all residents of Indiana; Emma J., living with her
mother; Ida, married to Andrew Repogle, Indiana; and John H., the subject of
this sketch.
   The latter was reared and educated in Carroll county, Indiana, and until
he was twenty-one years of age, contributed to the support of the family. He
then removed to Salina, Kansas, where he remained for twenty years engaged in
farming and stock-raising. His advent into Stevens county dates from the
termination of this period,so it will be seen that our subject cannot be
classed with the proverbial rolling stones that gather no moss. He purchased
two hundred and forty acres of land,one hundred of which is under cultivation,
all fenced, and with substantial house and other buildings. One of the most
profitable crops is hay,and of this he annually cuts many tons. At present
he winters twenty-three head of stock.
   The daughter of Samuel and Persis (Hill) Cox, natives of Indiana,Miss
Matilda J.Cox, became the wife of Mr.Allbaugh on September 29,1880. Her
parents, when quite young, removed to Missouri, and thence to Kansas,
afterwards coming to Stevens county, where the father died. The mother now
resides at Deerpark, Washington.
   John H.Allbaugh is an advocate of the political principles of the People's
party. In 1895 he was elected on that ticket township treasurer, of Walnut
township, Kansas, serving for two terms. He has also served as township
trustee, and with distinction. From 1884 until 1890 he was a member of the
Washington State National Guards, the first five years as private.
Subsequently he was advanced to be First Sergeant and then First Lieutenant.
He is a member of the English Lutheran chruch.
   Mrs.Allbaugh has one sister, Mrs. Mary J. Yingst, and two brothers,
David L. and Samuel N., all in Stevens county. Mr.and Mrs. Allbaugh have two
children, Rose, married to Freeman Moser, and Ethel, residing with her
parents.
