   BEATMAN BEATTY POWELL, one of the leading farmers of Blanchard Township, P.
O. Benton Ridge, was born in Fairfield County, Ohio, May 14, 1833, son of Daniel
and Eliza (Beatty) Powell, natives of Union and Lycoming Counties, Penn.,
respectively. The Powells come of a long and worthy line of Welsh pioneer
ancestry in Pennsylvania. In 1803 Daniel Powell located in Fairfield County,
Ohio. The subject of our sketch was reared there, and at the age of twenty-seven
came to this county and took up land, clearing and improving a nice farm of
eighty acres, to which he has since added nearly 300 acres, making a total of
370 acres of valuable land. He resides on Section 23, Blanchard Township. He
married, in 1857, Elizabeth, daughter of John Whitehurst, of Fairfield County,
Ohio, and they have a family of two sons and two daughters: Margaret Virginia,
wife of Charles Heckerman, farmer, Blanchard Township, and America Belle, wife
of John Kizbeth, also a farmer of Blanchard Township. His sons, Sherman
Ellsworth and Henderson, are both of the same vocation as their father. Mr.
Powell pays considerable attention to the rearing and breeding of fine bred
cattle and hogs. He is a leading character in his locality, of a genial nature,
open-hearted, frank and generous to a fault. He has oftentimes been selected by
the people of his township and county to represent their interests in the
councils of Blanchard Township and the county. He and his wife attend the
services of the Methodist Episcopal Church, to which he is a liberal
contributor. Mr. Powell has always done a leading share in the support of all
measures tending to the welfare of his^ locality. In politics he is a Democrat.
