   NIMROD W. BRIGHT, JR., farmer, P. 0. Vanlue, born March 7, 1865, in Big Lick
Township. Hancock County. Ohio, is a son of Major and S. S. (Fairman) Bright,
natives of Ohio, and a great-grandson of Major Bright, who located or entered
3,000 acres of land in Amanda Township, this county, and was an extensive stock
raiser and one of the oldest pioneers of this county. His son, Nimrod, Sr., the
grandfather of our subject, one of the largest land-holders and stock raisers in
the county, resides in the village of Vanlue, this county. He is a thorough
farmer, and held at one time as much land as his father, and perhaps more; he
and his brother, John C., were pioneer ministers. The father of our subject is a
well-to-do farmer, occupying lands in Amanda Township, this county, and, like
his ancestors, has given his children land and educated them to become thorough
farmers. His children are Elizabeth (wife of Melvin Ewing), Emma L. (wife of E.
Wilcox), an infant (deceased) and Nimrod W., Jr. Our subject is a young man of
promise, and has received an education equal to his day. He is a man of quick
perception and good judgment, and has become an efficient teacher, a profession
he follows during the winters.
