   HENRY SHANK, farmer and stock raiser, P. O. Findlay, was born in Fayette
County, Penn., September 11, 1807, son of Jacob and Nancy (Stauffer) Shank,
natives of Maryland and Pennsylvania, respectively. In 1834 Henry Shank moved
West, and after spending eighteen years in Allen and Putnam Counties, Ohio, he
came to this county, where he has since been successfully connected with his
present industry. Mr. Shank was united in marriage, October 10, 1828, with Emily
Fleming, who died in Allen County, Ohio, leaving nine children. Mr. Shank's
second marriage was February 1, 1849, with Maria Coughenour, who bore him eleven
children, the result of both unions being nine sons and eleven daughters, of
whom one son and two daughters died in infancy, and three daughters died after
reaching maturity. Mr. Shank is a worthy member of the Disciples Church. In
politics he is a Republican.
