   GEORGE KETCH, fanner, P. 0. Mount Blanchard, was born April 16, 1824, in
Columbiana County, Ohio, son of Thomas and Ann (Bilger) Ketch, natives of
Pennsylvania, the former of whom died in 1832; the latter brought her family to
Hardin County, Ohio, in 1836, and died in Delaware Township, this county, in
1868, while living with her son Thomas. George Ketch, the youngest in a family
of six children, lived in Hardin County, Ohio, until his marriage -with Miss
Adeline Warner, March 16, 1848, when they at once moved to their farm in
Delaware Township, this county, which he had then owned for several years, and
on which they still reside. Here they went to work in the woods, clearing up and
improving their farm, and they now have 120 acres of fertile and well improved
land, after having given their children 160 acres. Mrs. Ketch died in October,
1859, leaving three children: Thomas E., Clark and Sarah, who afterward married
W. F. Cook, son of Dwight Cook, a well known pioneer. After the death of his
first wife Mr. Ketch married Miss Adeline Johnson, who died in February, 1871,
leaving a daughter, Laura; and for his third wife our subject then married Mrs.
Paulina Switzer; she has one daughter, Lula Clare. Mrs. Ketch is a member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Ketch cast his first presidential vote for
Franklin Pierce, and has been a supporter of the Democratic party ever since. He
is an enterprising and successful farmer, an upright and useful citizen, highly
respected by the entire community.
