O. Kenton, was born in Columbiana County, Ohio, in 1840. His father was born in 1804 and died in 1874, in Goshen Township. Our subject's mother was born in 1808, and is still living, residing at the home of our subject, who was educated at the common schools of Ashland County until fourteen years of age, when his parents moved to this county. For his occupation, he selected farming, which he has followed successfully, and is now the owner of 140 acres of well-improved land. Ninety of these acres are in Range 12 and fifty in Section 30. In 1874, Mr. Heilman bought a saw mill, which he still retains. He was married, in 1866, by the Rev. Mr. Timbler, to Margaret A., daughter of George and Mary _____, the former a native of Germany and the latter of Switzerland. Mr. Heilman built his residence, which cost $3,000, in 1881, and his barn, costing $1,000, in 1879. For nine years, he has acted as Township Trustee; is a member of Grange, No. 578, and is one of our intelligent, industrious citizens of Goshen Township.
