   JOSEPH M. CARTWRIGHT, farmer and stock raiser, P. O. Gilboa, Putnam County,
was born in Muskingum County, Ohio, March 6, 1832, son of Stephen and Mahala
(Thrapp) Cartwright, latter a native of Virginia, of English descent. His
father, a farmer, was born in Delaware, of English extraction, and settled on a
farm in Putnam County, Ohio, in 1836. He reared a family of ten children, eight
of whom grew to maturity. Joseph M., the subject of this sketch, the third in
the family, was reared on the farm, acquired a common school education in Putnam
County, Ohio, and has made farming the business of his life. In 1857 Mr.
Cartwright was united in marriage with Catherine Nowlan, daughter of Thomas and
Margaret (Sinnott) Nowlan, natives of Nova Scotia and of Irish and English
descent, former of whom came to Ohio in an early day and settled in Wayne
County. Mr. and Mrs. Cartwright's children are Emza J., Telethia S., Stephen T.
and Amanda E. Our subject and wife are members of the Methodist Protestant
Church, of which he has been class leader. He joined the church when he was
nineteen years of age, and was licensed to preach in 1875, since when he has
preached, but has never accepted a local charge. Mr. Cartwright has resided in
this county since 1858, and on the farm where he now lives since 1865. He votes
the Republican ticket; has been school director and township trustee; is a
member of the I. O. O. F. at Gilboa.
