OTIS R. MALLORY, a well-known business man of Akron, is engaged in the
manufacture of cheese-boxes and cheese-box material, and is very pleasantly
located in a beautiful home in the village. His parents Otis and Philena (Ames)
Mallory, both natives of the old Bay State, came to New York in 1819. Their son
Otis R. is the youngest in a family of eight children, five of whom are now
living. He had his early training and education on the farm, and remained with
his father until he was twenty-eight years of age.

  Our subject was born June 22, 1835, and in September, 1857 he was happily
united in marriage with Rhoda Bersee, a native of New York, and to them have
been granted four children, namely: Florence D., Clarence R., Ellen M. and Otis
Glenn, and all still make their home beneath the parental roof. Florence pursues
the profession of a teacher and has taught in New York; Ellen is a music
teacher; and Clarence is leader of the band at Akron, and every member of the
family is musically inclined. The daughters are all members of the Presbyterian
Church, and are active in religious work.

  Mr. Mallory had nothing but his head and hands as capital when he started out
in life, but by industry and close application to business he has succeeded so
as to place his family beyond the reach of want, and to give his children all a
superior education. He is earnestly devoted to the principles of Democracy, but
is not an aspirant for office. He has lived in this county for eight years. His
mother died in 1877, and as she was born in 1797, she was then eighty years old,
and his father, who was born in 1799, died in 1885, so that he reached the age
of eighty-six years. In the early days of this family in America it was
represented by three brothers who came to this country from England, and one of
those three was the grandfather of our subject, who afterward became a drummer
boy in the War of 1812.
