YOHO was born in the Buckeye State in the year 1854, and is a son of Samuel and Jane (Cain) Yoho. His mother dying the same year of his birth, Richard W. came with his father to the Hoosier State in 1866, which has since been his home. He aided his father on the farm during his youthful years, and when twenty years of age began for himself. For five years he pursued the avocation of a pedagogue, and the succeeding four years farmed and dealt in stock. Since 1879, he has been engaged in merchandising at Cincinnati, where he has built up a successful trade and where he carries a general line of goods amounting in value to about $3,500. By his honorable dealings and genial ways, Mr. Yoho has not only established a good trade but has gained numerous warm and steadfast friends. In politics, he is a Republican; was elected Justice of the Peace in 1880, and is also a Notary Public. In 1874, he married Miss Mary E. Carmichael, and their union has been blessed with three children—O. C., Gertie C. and Ada E.
