    William Edmund Fagaly. In reviewing the lives of the self-made men of any
community, the biographer cannot help but note that in every instance that those
who have succeeded in establishing themselves and earning a right to such a
title are men who have not been afraid of hard work and who have availed
themselves of every opportunity when it was presented to them. William Edmund
Fagaly is a man in this class. Though still young in years, he has by hard work
and the grasping of opportunities, worked himself up until he is now considered
one of the leading business men of Hamilton county. He was born in Green
township. Hamilton county, Ohio, January 26, 1882, a son of John M. and Matilda
(Shafer) Fagaly, both natives of Hamilton county, and they are now living
retired in Miami. Mr. and Mrs. Fagaly were the parents of eight children and
they are as follows: John N., Jr., who resides in Miami, Ohio; Lida, the wife of
John Strong, of Cleves, Ohio; Roy, a resident of Colerain township; May,
deceased, who was the wife of David Thompson, of Cincinnati, Ohio; William E.;
Pearl, the wife of Charles Metzgen, of Miami, Ohio; Arthur, who resides in
Ewing, Ky., and Stanley, at home. William Edmund obtained his early education in
the district schools of Miami, Ohio, and after finishing school, returned to the
homestead farm where he assisted his father until 1901. He then worked for a
well-known contractor for a time, and then followed the carpenter's trade a
year. After engaging in the painting business for a year, he associated himself
with the C. & O. railroad for which he acted as construction foreman for six
years. In 1916, Mr. Fagaly came to Miami, Ohio, and engaged in the milling
business at which he continues successfully at the present time. Politically,
Mr. Fagaly is a stanch Republican, and never cared for the honors of office. In
religion, he affiliates with the United Brethren church, and fraternally, he is
a member of the Junior Order of the United American Mechanics. Mr. Fagaly was
united in marriage July 3, 1915 to Miss Abbie Haucke, a daughter of Frank and
Catherine (Wurtzelbacher) Haucke, of Green township, Hamilton county, Ohio. To
this union have been born two children, Mildred Edith and Wilbur Clyde. In
concluding this review of Mr. Fagaly's life, will say that he is a clear-headed,
self-reliant, shrewd, progressive business man, and a fine example of what a man
can become who starts right and stays right, and it is to such men as these that
Hamilton county owes her honor.
