   David Ogle, farmer, Newtown, was the sixth child in a family of eleven
children, by Thomas and Anna (Jones) Ogle, and was born in Adams county, Ohio,
February 27, 1818. The family traveled a distance of 200 miles in twenty-four
days, in a four-horse wagon, and reached Fountain county, in the neighborhood of
Hillsboro, about Christmas, 1824. In March following they moved, and made their
home in Richland township, about a mile north of Newtown, on land at present
owned by Isaac Shultz. His father died on the place in 1836, and his mother
survived until six or seven years ago. In 1857 Mr. Ogle moved to his present
location, where he owns about 140 acres, the most of which is choice farming
land. His first marriage was with Hannah Knisley, in 1837, who had live
children: Charlotte, wife of William Hatton; Anna (deceased); Mary Catherine,
wife of Thomas Newell; Samuel T., and Levi (deceased). In 1856 he was married to
the relict of William Kiff, formerly Margaret Kerr. The issue of this marriage
has been three children: Esther (deceased), Elizabeth and Charles D. Mr. Ogle's
step-son, Ambrose Kiff, was a soldier in the 154th Ind. Vols. He enlisted early
in 1865 for six months, or during the war, and his service was in the Shenandoah
valley, where he was mustered out in August. He is living in Republic county,
Kansas. Josiah Kiff was enrolled early in the war, in a New York cavalry
regiment. He went through the Peninsular campaign, and was afterward killed
while advancing on the enemy near Fredericksburg. There were two others of these
step-sons: James Kiff, who died in Kansas five or six years ago, and Barzillia
M., living in this township. Mr. Ogle is a decided republican. He and his wife
have been members of the Christian church for thirty years. He was a deacon for
a long time.
