        HARLOW B. MAUCK is one of the old and honored business men of
Lawrence County, and has spent over a third of a century in the town of
Proctorville, where he owns the leading mercantile interests.
        Mr. Mauck was born at Cheshire, Gallia County, Ohio, February 19,
1867, son of Lewis W. and Frances (Bradbery) Mauck and a grandson of Daniel
and Polly Mauck and of Asa and Electa Bradbery. The Bradbery family came
from Maine, while the Maucks were from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
Mr. Mauck's parents were both natives of Ohio and are now deceased. His
father was a Union soldier in the Civil war, with the Ninety-second Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, was married after the war and for many years engaged in
general merchandising at Cheshire. He was a member of the Masonic Order and
the Baptist church. The three children in the family were Roscoe J., Earl
W., and Harlow B.
        Harlow B. Mauck grew up at Cheshire, attended the public schools
there, and later entered the Ohio Northern University at Ada. He left
school in 1886, at the age of nineteen, and since then has been resident of
Proctorville, Lawrence County. For ten and one-half years he worked as a
clerk and in other capacities in the Mauck & Waters Store, and then engaged
in business for himself. He has been a merchant there for twenty-seven
years, and the community has come to regard him as the leading man of
affairs. He is a Knight of Templar Mason and Shriner, and a member of the
Baptist Church, while his wife is a Methodist.
        In June, 1893, at Proctorville, Mr. Mauck married Miss May L. Bay,
daughter of Capt. George Washington and Mary (Suiter) Bay. Her parents were
Ohio people and now deceased. Her father for many years was a captain of
river boats. The three children of Mr. and Mrs. Mauck are Francis, Kate and
Minnie.
