A.W. Bowen & Co., 1894 - page 721 DAVID FLETCHER, who has passed his three score and ten years, is a very worthy citizen of Perry township, and a native of Hamilton county, Ohio, born May 29, 1823. He is the son of John and Polly (Templen) Fletcher, the father being a native of Pennsylvania, and the mother of Ohio; he being of German, and she of English descent. In 1830 the parents came to Delaware county, where the father bought forty-nine acres of land in the woods, and endured many hardships while clearing the same. Of their children, only two have lived to be the heads of families, namely, David, and Mary A., wife of Hiram Pendlum, and they are the only living children. The deceased were: Rebecca, Eunice, William and an infant. The father died August 20, 1852, and the mother June 8, 1861, and both are buried in the Union cemetery. David Fletcher was reared on the farm, but the schools of his day were far apart; hence he had but very little opportunity for gaining an education. The longest time he ever attended, at one time, was three weeks. His father was a tanner by trade, and when a boy David devoted his time between the farm and the tan yard. After attaining his majority David became a partner of his father, and worked at the tannery business about fifteen years. David Fletcher was married December 10, 1846, to Asenath Thornburg, daughter of Joab and Elizabeth (Holloway) Thornburg, and five children have been born to him and his wife, namely: John E., born December 23, 1848; Rebecca, born in 1850, wife of J. B. Howell; Joab, born December 19, 1855, died July 25, 1861; Samuel V., born September 14, 1861; Samuel V., born September 13, 1861; and Elizabeth E., deceased. The first land that David owned was twenty acres, to which he added, from time to time until he got together 220 acres. This, however, he divided among his children, so he now has but 160 acres. Beside other property, Mr. Fletcher owns stock in a gas well. Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher are members of the Methodist church, and are very useful in that body. Socially he is a member of lodge No. 331, A.F. & A.M. He is a prohibitionist, and very ardent in his support of that party. -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V99 Issue #367 *******************************************
