   ABRAM DILLEY, a farmer of Beech Creek Township, is a native of Guernsey
County, Ohio, where he was born March 25, 1828, one of twelve children, of whom
Ephraim and Rachel E. (Henry) Dilley were the parents. Mr. Dilley received such
education as could be acquired in the primitive schools and through paper
windows of his time. At the age of fifteen years, he began the blacksmith trade,
which business he continued for about fifteen years. On July 2, 1848, Maria J.
Yakey, of the same county, became his wife, and they are the parents of these
children: Leroy H., Judson S. (deceased), George W., Sarah L., Lucy L.
(deceased), Solomon Y. (deceased), Albert L., Rachael and Maria F. In September,
1865, he located in Greene County on the place where he now lives. Since coming
to this county, he worked at his trade about five years, and the balance of the
time he has been farming. He now owns a splendid farm of 258 acres, well
improved and cultivated. Of the 185 acres that are cleared, Mr. Dilley has
cleared 100, which indicates his industry without other example. As members of
the Baptist Church at Newark, they are among the best citizens in the county.
Mr. Dilley is a thorough Democrat in politics, and stands high among his
neighbors for strict integrity.
