During a long and useful life in Tuscarawas County, where his people were among the first settlers, Perry Commodore Knisely achieved some of the unusual distinctions of leadership in agriculture, and good citizenship. His record shows that he was one of the most expert grain raisers in the state. He was born in Fairfield Township, Tuscarawas County, son of Joseph and Jane (Slutz) Knisely, and great-grandson of John Knisely. John Knisely, who should be remembered in any history of Ohio, as the founder of the City of New Philadelphia, was born September 26, 1752, and served as a soldier in the Revolutionary war. Coming from Pennsylvania to Ohio, he influenced the Indians to deed about one thousand acres of land to the government, and he was then awarded that land by grant from the government. On a portion he laid out and named the town of New Philadelphia, the county seat of Tuscarawas County. His son, Jacob Knisely, grandfather of the late Perry C. Knisely, was born February 15, 1789, and served as a soldier in the quartermaster's department in the War of 1812. Perry Commodore Knisely taught school during a period of sixteen years at Pleasant Valley, Baltgley Valley, Goshen Hill, Tuscarawas and Ninevah. In 1880 he purchased the Furney homestead in Tuscarawas County, and on that land achieved his success as a farmer. Some of his farming was used as demonstration and test work under the auspices of the State Department of Agriculture. He made an official record of producing fifty-one and a half bushels of wheat per acre, and one hundred forty-four and a half bushels of corn per acre. For several years he was a lecturer for the State Board of Agriculture of Ohio. Perry C. Knisely died at his home about two miles east of New Philadelphia on March 21, 1924. He was a man of exemplary habits, character and high ideals. His interest in agriculture was deep and sincere, and he found real pleasure in tilling his farm. He well deserved the tribute of praise expressed in the words that "the world is better for his having lived in it." Perry C. Knisely married January 20, 1876, Jennie R. Furney of Goshen Township, Tuscarawas County, daughter of Joseph Furney. Their children were: Clyde Jesse, born May 11, 1877; Walter Ralph, born September 5, 1879; Herbert P. and Harold J., twins, born August 25, 1882; Emma, born July 17, 1891 and now deceased and Paul C. born December 26, 1892. Clyde Jesse Knisely, an engineer in the state department of highways and public works and a resident of Columbus is regarded as one of the leading authorities on the economic side of highway construction. He spent his youth on the home farm in Tuscarawas County, attended country schools, and the Ohio state University at Columbus where he was graduated in the School of Engineering with the degree of civil engineer in 1907. Before graduating, he was elected county surveyor of Tuscarawas County. Before he had filled out the term, he accepted a position as engineer (division engineer) of the State Highway Department at Columbus. On this appointment he served with the department over two years. Then followed some years of various engineering work until December, 1920, when he accepted another appointment with the State Highway Department. His present position is that of Federal project engineer. While a very competent expert on all phases of road and bridge construction. Mr. Knisely has specialized in economic engineering, particularly all subjects involving the cost of construction and maintenance of roads, and the best methods of taxation for highway construction and maintenance. He married Miss Grace V. Meredith of Tuscarawas County. Their family of children consists of Hal R., May A., Earl P., Jessie C. and Bettie G. Knisely. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #3 Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1999 12:14:55, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <199908091614.MAA05680@mime3.prodigy.com> Subject: WILLIAM HENRY STOUTT - TUSCARAWAS COUNTY Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII HISTORY OF OHIO The American Historical Society, Inc., 1925 Volume V, page 248 WILLIAM HENRY STOUTT was the editor and publisher of the Uhrichsville Chronicle, which issues daily and weekly editions at Uhrichsville, Tuscarawas County, and made this one of the important and influential papers of this section of Ohio. For rest and recreation he indulged in a fishing trip to Canada, and while on the train on which he was returning home he received a sudden attack of illness that resulted in his death a few moments later, on the 18th of August, 1921. In his death Tuscarawas County lost one of its honored and influential native sons -one who had achieved success and honors of no minor order. William H. Stoutt was born at Gilmore, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, November 14, 1852, and was a son of John and Cassandra (Dix) Stoutt, the former of whom was born in Pennsylvania and the latter in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, where their marriage was solemnized. John Stoutt was a blacksmith by trade, and after following his trade for a time at Gilmore, Tuscarawas County, he moved with his family to Rockville, Tuscarawas County, where his death occurred when his son, William H., was but a boy. William H. Stoutt thus found his public school privileges somewhat curtailed, as it devolved upon him, as the only son, to assist in the support of his widowed mother and his two sisters. With characteristic bravery and resourcefulness the lad faced the problems that were thus to be solved, and he worked earnestly and indefatigably to make proper provision for his mother and his sisters, the latter of whom were younger than himself. He found employment at farm work and received for his service 50 cents a day. At night he applied himself diligently to study, and finally he made such advancement as to enable him to gain a teacher's license. His first pedagogic service was given in the district schools of Ohio, and later he taught in West Virginia. Finally he returned to his native county and became circulation manager for the Tuscarawas Chronicle at Uhrichsville, Somewhat later he purchased the Richwood Gazette, and after publishing the same three years he sold the plant and business. He then returned to Uhrichsville and purchased the Chronicle, the publication having been continued as a weekly only until 1895, when he initiated the issuing of daily editions, in addition to the weekly. He continued as editor and publisher of the Chronicle until his death, achieved substantial success and gained rank as one of the influential newspaper men of the Buckeye State. Though he was unwavering in his allegiance to the republican party and an effective exponent of its principles and policies, Mr. Stoutt never consented to become a candidate for public office, save that, under appointment, he served several years as a member of the Ohio State Board of Charities. He was a Knight Templar Mason and was affiliated also with the Knights of Pythias, and he was an earnest member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he served as a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he served as a member of the Official Board for a term of years. His personality was the positive expression of a noble and loyal nature, he was tolerant and kindly in his judgment, and he was ever ready to co-operate in the furthering of worthy causes and to aid those in need. His course was ruled by a fine sense of justice and his stewardship in all of the relations of life was earnest and faithful. The first marriage of Mr. Stoutt was with Theresa Milliken, and they became the parents of five children: Pearl, Dale, Hazel (deceased), Paul H. and Helen. After the death of his first wife Mr. Stoutt wedded Miss Grace Milliken, who survives him, as do also their five children: Donald, Mary, Elizabeth, William and Robert. Paul H. Stoutt succeeded his father as editor and manager of the Chronicle, and in the following sketch is given a brief review of his career. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #4 Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1999 12:14:42, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <199908091614.MAA06896@mime3.prodigy.com> Subject: WILLIAM HENRY ANGEL - TUSCARAWAS COUNTY Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII HISTORY OF OHIO The American Historical Society, Inc. 1925 Volume III, page 423-424 WILLIAM HENRY ANGEL, superintendent of city schools at Dennison, has to his credit an unusually long and valuable record of service in the educational field.

The father was a native of the Emerald Isle, his birth occurring in County Down in the fifties. The grandfather was John Campbell, also a native of Ireland, where he lived the greater portion of his life. The parents of Sabra Grimes were Doctor and Anna Grimes, both of whom were born in Ohio. After their marriage William and Sabra Campbell located in New Philadelphia, and there began the duties of married life. They became engaged in keeping a hotel, and soon had a large patronage from travelers and from local business men and pleasure seekers. Here they both became well known for their courteous and mannerly behavior and for their exemplary and commendable citizenship. They took an active and distinguished part in all local steps to build up a moral and righteous community. He died in 1886, but she had gone to her last resting place when the subject of this record was still an infant. The latter was given a sound education in his youthful days, first at the grade schools and later at the high school. Then he entered the normal school at New Philadelphia, and in that institution finished his educational career. At the age of sixteen years he became bell boy in the Exchange Hotel of New Philadelphia, but after a year or so changed his job and secured a position as helper in a veterinary hospital in the same city and was thus occupied for about two years. He then secured a position as aid in a newspaper office in that city, and there continued for one year. At the age of twenty-one years he came to Lorain and became one of the partners of Ralph McConnell in the ready made clothing business. In this business he was busily engaged for two years, but was then forced to sell out on account of a period of ill health. After recovering he secured a position with the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling Railroad Company, now the Baltimore and Ohio line, as an assistant dock agent. This occupation suited his physical condition and met his financial requirements, and he remained in the employ of this company for the period of ten years, gaining much prominence as a faithful and efficient manager of dock affairs and winning also the warm approval of his employers.
