Among the most worthy and prominent farmers of German Township Samuel Stiver holds a leading place. In 1806, his parents, John and Margaret (Wolf) Stiver, natives respectively of Lancaster and Toffin Counties, Penn., left their native State and came to Montgomery County, Ohio, settling in German Township, in the southwest part of the county. John was of Holland Dutch descent, his ancestors having come to the colonies before the Revolutionary war. He and wife lived and died in this county. The subject of this sketch was born in Montgomery County, Ohio, February 21, 1816, here grew to maturity, inured to the trials that fell to the lot of every pioneer family, and March 4, 1841, was married to Catherine Emerick, daughter of George and Mary (Good) Emerick, the former of whom was a native of Maryland and the latter of Virginia. Mrs. Stiver was born in this county October 7, 1819, and has had six children, as follows: Benjamin M., William C., Samuel, Mary E., John A., and Sarah C., all of whom are married and have families, excepting John A., who resides at home with his parents. Mr. Stiver owns over five hundred acres of land, three hundred and forty-six in German and one hundred and sixty-four in Jackson Township; has always been recognized as a good, successful farmer, who looks carefully after his business and seldom makes mistakes in his investments. He is conservative and close in his views, a good neighbor, kind yet economical in his family, and can be safely classed as one of the representative farmers of the township. ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit "The History of Montgomery County, Ohio."; by W. H. Beers & Co., pub 1882 page 291-292 MICHAEL TROUT, physician, Germantown, is the only survivor of a family of eleven children, and is the son of George and Margaret (Zigler) Trout, both natives of Pennsylvania. George, in his minor days, learned the potter trade, and afterward located in business on the Monongahela River, where he remained until about 1812, when he removed to Perry County, Ohio, and continued his occupation (potter) in the town of Somerset. At the close of the Indian war of 1812, he organized a militia company, and served as its Captain until age plainly told on his wrinkled brow and frosted hair, disabling him for parade. He was a practical and useful man in his county, and was chosen as Associate Judge. During life he accumulated some property, and generally was a constant and generous contributor to all worthy enterprises. He and wife trod the path of a united life until old age bent both their frames, when they were called hence. Michael, whose name heads this biography, was born June 21, 1809, at Williamsport, Washington Co., Penn., and was brought to Perry County, Ohio, by his parents, in childhood. They being located in the town of Somerset, his educational privileges were not so much limited as many others of that early age. In 1827, he came to Germantown, Montgomery Co., Ohio, where he taught one term of school, and has since continuously resided, except five years in Wayne County, Ind., subsequently obtained a situation as a dry goods clerk, and during spare moments applied himself to the reading of medicine; finally, acquired a fair knowledge of the science. To this end he entered the Ohio Medical College at Cincinnati and improved his vacation[sic], under the directions of Dr. Espich, who was a reliable practitioner and safe counselor. After the completion of Dr. Trout's collegiate or lecture courses, he became associated as partner with his (former) preceptor. After one year's existence of this firm, by mutual consent, it dissolved, and Dr. Trout continued by himself. He is one among the oldest practicing physicians of Montgomery County, has withstood the storms of over half a century's practice. He has been for many years a member of and Trustee in the Lutheran Church, also a valuable member of the Order of I. O. O. F., having taken nearly all the degrees. His marriage was solemnized February 21, 1832, with Amelia Schwartz, who was born March 4, 1813, in Baltimore, Md., and an exemplary member of the Lutheran Church. Of their eleven children three survive -- Isadora L., Henry S. and Theodore. -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V99 Issue #750 *******************************************
