His parents were Nathan and Mary Cole, natives of New Hampshire, who located in New York in 1808. Here they remained until 1817, when they removed to Ohio, locating temporarily in Granville, Licking County. After one years sojourn at that point the family removed to Franklinton, this county, where they passed the remainder of their lives. The mother died October 13, 1844, and the father on October 21, 1856. The subject of this sketch derived his education, as but he might, during the winter sessions of the district school, aided greatly by the teaching of his mother. When Sixteen years of age he became a clerk in the store of Jacob Grubb, one of the early merchants of Franklinton. Here he remained until the spring of 1835, when he went into business for himself. He was prospering finely when the panic of 1837 struck the county, and having but little capital, he was swept away by the rapid current, and with thousands of others, found himself, when the storm had subsided, penniless. He was engaged in teaching school, and in March 1840, entered the office he now occupies, as clerk for his brother, then recorder. He continued here until 1846, during the winter assisting the county treasurer in the duties of that office. In October, 1846, Mr. Cole was put in nomination for the office of recorder, for Franklin County, by the Democratic party, and elected in opposition to William T. Martin, a time-honored incumbent, to the office, and no better evidence of his fitness can be given then that he has been continuously elected to the office until the present period. Mr. Cole is entitled to great credit for the able manner in which he has remedied the damage produced produced by the incendiary fire in his office in January 1878, which destroyed several volumes, and he has ever been an efficient and faithful officer. On July 31, 1836, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary, daughter of David and Phebe Sayles, who were natives of Providence, Rhode Island. The children are as follows: Hannah, who is deceased; Clara, Mrs. Robert L. Willie, Lannassa M., Mrs. Charles E. Luckhaupt; Nathan, who married Miss Ella Say; Mary, Mrs. Joseph J. Stoddart and George, who remains at home. Mr. Cole says he is a Democrat of the Tom Payne, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln school. -- ------------------------------ X-Message: #5 Date: Mon, 01 Feb 1999 01:44:57 -0600 From: LeaAnn Subject: JOHN T. GALE History of Franklin and Pickaway Counties, Ohio Pub by Williams Bros., 1880 JOHN T. GALE, probate judge. This gentleman is the third child of Franklin and Mary J. Gale. The date of his birth was July 6, 1846, and the place, Zanesville, Muskingum County, Ohio. The education of Judge Gale was acquired in the public schools at Columbus, he entering upon the duties of clerk in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas, Franklin County just prior to graduating. After a few months he left the office and engaged in teaching school. In March 1865, he entered the office he now occupies, as deputy, under John M. Pugh, probate judge, and remained continuously until the spring of 1878, when he became a candidate for the office of probate judge, to which he was unanimously elected the subsequent fall. Judge Gale was married on December 4, 1868, to Miss Sallie, daughter of Henry and mary Jones, at Columbus, by whom three children were born; Frank, Cora and Carl. The judge is a prominent member of the society of I.O.O.F., and past grand of Excelsior Lodge Number 145, at Columbus, Ohio. -- ------------------------------ X-Message: #6 Date: Mon, 01 Feb 1999 02:07:07 -0600 From: LeaAnn Subject: E. KIESEWETTER History of Franklin and Pickaway Counties, Ohio Pub by Williams Bros., 1880 E. KIESEWETTER, county auditor, was born on the fifteenth day of May, 1845. He is the third child of Theodore E. and Joanna E. Kiesewetter, natives of Germany, who emigrated to America in the year 1844. They located temporarily in Prairie Twp, this county, where they resided until 1849, when they removed to Columbus. Here the mother died, August 31, 1850. The father died May 11, 1874. The education of the gentleman whose name heads this sketch, was acquired in the public schools of Columbus, and was quite limited, from the fact that he was, at an early period, obliged to labor for his support. At the age of twelve years he engaged at the Fremont house, Columbus, Ohio, where he remained two years. He next attended a term at the Columbus commercial college, where he made book-keeping his especial study, and with what success his present position bears ample testimony. Immediately subsequent to the close of his studies at the college he engaged with F.A. Sells, and from this time until 1862 he was in constant employment. And now occurs a period in his life which the writer delights to chronicle. It is ever pleasant to speak of the brave defenders of our country's honor, during those dark and terrible days of Rebellion. On September 30, 1862, being then a lad of but seventeen, he donned the blue, and as a private in company B, of the forty-sixth regiment of Ohio Volunteer Infantry, went forth to die, if need be, for those grand old colors, the stars and stripes, and narrowly did he escape the alternative. At the battle of Resaca, Georgia, on May 14, 1864, he was severely wounded in the left hip, from the effects of which he was confined to his bed seven long, weary months. The wound became gangrenous and his life was despaired of, but thanks to a hardy constitution and the skillful treatment of the attending surgeon (doubtless accidental), he recovered, and was discharged the service at Camp Chase, Ohio, March 31, 1865. He remained at the hospital, as clerk, until August 25th, subsequent, when he engaged with P. Hayden & Son, of Columbus, as book-keeper. This position was held continuously until the fall of 1878, when he assumed the arduous and responsible duties of county auditor. It is perhaps needless to state that Mr. Kiesewetter is an efficient and faithful officer. He is a prominent member of the orders of Free and Accepted masons, the I.O.O.F. and the Knights of Pythias. Mr. Kiesewetter was united in marriage on November 4, 1869, to Miss Francis, daughter of Henry and Catharine Orthafer. Two children have blessed this union, Frank L. and Henry W., the latter of whom is deceased. -- ------------------------------ X-Message: #7 Date: Mon, 01 Feb 1999 02:25:48 -0600 From: LeaAnn Subject: FRANKLIN GALE History of Franklin and Pickaway Counties, Ohio Pub by Williams Bros., 1880 FRANKLIN GALE, was born at Oxford, Massachusetts, August 25, 1802. He lived in Worchester, Amherst, and neighboring towns till 1821, and by his own exertions obtained a classical education. In 1833 he came to Ohio, and located at Wordsfield, where he practiced law foe several years. He was married at Somerfield, Monroe County, Ohio, to Mary J. Cleveland, and shortly afterward removed to Zanesville, where he resided until 1850, following his profession, and in this interval, holding two or three important positions of public trust. In December, 1848, he commenced the publication of a newspaper called the Peoples Platform, which was in November 1849, removed to Columbus, and subsequently merged into the Columbian, afterwards the Ohio Statesman, which he edited until his death. In 1850 his family followed him to Columbus, where he resided during the remainding twenty-five years of his life. Here Mr. Gale practiced law for several years, but the greater portion of his time, after he became a resident of Columbus, was devoted to journalism, in an editorial and reportorial capacity. Also during this time, he prepared for publication several books, pamphlets, and political documents, which made him thoroughly conversant with the politics and events of the day, and brought him in close contact with the leading men of the country. His acquaintance extended very generally throughout the State. In the year 1867 he was elected official reporter of the senate of the fifty-seventh general assembly, which position he filled at each subsequent session of the legislature until his demise. In April, 1874, he was elected justice of the peace of Montgomery Township, but died on the twentieth of the same month, in the seventy-second year of his age. His widow yet resides in Columbus. Sylvester W., Ella, John T., Mary E., and anna S. Gale were born at Zanesville, ohio, except the youngest, Anna S. The eldest, Sylvester W. is associate publisher and editor of the Columbus Herald, a weekly newspaper; John T. is probate judge of Franklin County, and all reside in Columbus, Ohio. -- ------------------------------ X-Message: #8 Date: Mon, 01 Feb 1999 02:39:14 -0600 From: LeaAnn Subject: JOSIAH KINNEAR History of Franklin and Pickaway Counties, Ohio Pub by Williams Bros., 1800 JOSIAH KINNEAR, sheriff, is the second child of Samuel and Ellen Kinnear.
