        Joseph M. Rearden, of Cheviot, formerly county commissioner of
Hamilton county, is of Irish
descent, his father, Thomas R., having come from Ireland in 1812, leaving
Limerick and coming by the
way of England, where he stayed a while; landed in Philadelphia, where
Joseph was born, in 1837, on the 
nineteenth of March. In 1852, Thomas removed to Green township, one mile
west of Dent. Mr. Rearden
completed his studies about the year 1851, in St. Xavier's college,
Cincinnati, and then went south,
making application to General Walker to enter the fillibuster service,
but was not received on 
account of his age. From 1852 until 1875 he followed the business of
farming, since which time his
county has called him to various offices of trust. After the war,
beginning in 1865, he served three
terms as trustee of the township, was also deputy treasurer, member of
the board of education, and in
October, 1875, was elected county commissioner, serving until 1877, and
receiving a county majority of
1,713, and a township majority of 146. He was married to Mary E. Miller
in 1857.
