   M. D. L. MENTZER, farmer, P. O. Kenton, was born in Kenton, Hardin Co., Ohio,
February, 23, 1848. He is a son of Samuel and Sophia (Benjamin) Mentzer, whose
sketch we have given in this history. Our subject was reared on the homestead
and educated at the common schools. On September 29, 1870, he was united in
marriage to Rhoda A., daughter of William and Rebecca Smith, and a native of
Union County, Ohio, born December 24, 1850. Three children have resulted from
this union-Iona, born December 29, 1871; Anna M., born May 26, 1873 and George
A., born March 31, 1883. Mr. Mentzer owns 216 acres of land of the homestead,
and fifteen acres adjoining. He is a thoroughly scientific and successful farmer
and stock-raiser, and in connection with his business keeps a system of
book-keeping, in which he has a full account of his receipts and expenditures,
and at the end of the year is able to ascertain the profits and losses. He
weighs his cattle every month, and records the gain or loss. Politically, he is
a Democrat. He served as Township Clerk the first year after his majority.
