   JOHN H. ZEHNER, Treasurer of Tipton County, was born in Richland County,
Ohio, May 28, 1839, and remained in his native county until he was fifteen years
of age. He then went to Van Wert County, Ohio. In September, 1861, he enlisted
in Company H, Fourth Ohio Cavalry, and was assigned to the Army of the
Cumberland. He was with Sherman on his campaign as far as Atlanta, and then
returned with Thomas to Nashville, and was in the battle at that place. He then
joined Wilson on his cavalry expedition. He saw Jeff Davis when he was brought
into headquarters. In July, 1865, he was discharged, and immediately returned to
his home in Van Wert County, Ohio. Soon after this, he made a trip through the
West, traveling through the States of Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois, and
finally settled at Windfall, Ind., November, 1866, where he entered into the
grocery business. He continued in business at that place until 1880, when he was
elected by the Democracy of Tipton County to the office of County Treasurer,
which position he now occupies. Mr. Zehner was married, November 6, 1866, to
Miss Rosanna Davis. They have a family of four children, namely, Walter, Bertha
May, Nancy L. and John Otto. Politically, Mr. Zehner is a Democrat, and is also
a prominent member of the I. O. O. F.
