    LEVI ZEARING, farmer, P. O. Germantown.  The parents of this gentleman 
were Peter Zearing and Elizabeth Boombrake, who were married in 1816.  The 
former was born in Lebanon County, Penn., in 1790, and in 1818 came to Ohio, 
and in two years later settled in Section 6, German Township of this county, 
where he died August 8, 1858, in his sixty-fifth year, the mother having 
lived until April 29, 1862, when she died at the age of seventy-three years.  
Our subject was born on the homestead June 15, 1819, where he has since 
resided and been occupied as a farmer.  He was united in marriage with Ann 
Maria, daughter of Barnet and Elizabeth Zearing, February 5, 1846.  She was 
born in Warren County, November 13, 1824.  To this couple was born one son, 
Amos, who married Mary Hildreth, and is the father of four children by name, 
Oscar, Eva May, Willie A. and Levi E.  Our subject possesses two 
well-improved farms; the homestead contains 162 acres, valued at $125 per 
acre.  Everything thereon is kept in perfect order; the barn is large and 
commodious, and on the land is an extensive sugar camp of about 800 or 1,000 
trees; the other farm contains 155 acres, situated about three miles south of 
Germantown.  The homestead is reasonably well stocked, and supplied with all 
modern farming implements.
