ATKINSON Charles F. Atkinson, farmer, of Plain City, Madison County, Ohio, was born on June 17, 1870, on the home farm were he now lives, in Canaan township, and is a son of William and Lucinda (Nunemaker) Atkinson. He was reared on the old homestead and obtained his early education at the public schools, after which he attended the Wittenburg College at Springfield, Ohio, where he took the scientific course. He has returned to the farm and assisted his father until the latter's death, and now has charge of the farm, owning in his own name four hundred and forty acres. He controls four hundred and fifty acres all told, and devotes his special attention to cattle and hogs of which he disposes of about three carloads annually. Mr. Atkinson has always been a strong supporter of the Republican principles, and has shown his interest in local politics by serving as township treasurer. He officiates as one of the directors of the Farmers' National Bank at Plain City. William Atkinson, father of the subject of this sketch, was born in February of 1832, in Greene county, Ohio, and was a son of Cephas and Abigail (Oren) Atkinson. His wife was Lucinda (Nunemaker) Atkinson, to whom he was married in 1866, when he moved to the farm now owned by Charles F. and built the brick house which stands a quarter of a mile north of the Wilson pike, living there until his death, which took place in July, 1908. William Atkinson was a Republican, and took great interest in local politics, holding several of the township offices. He was a liberal supporter of the Methodist Episcopal church, and belonged to Urania Lodge No. 311, Free and Accepted Masons, of which he was a past master. He was one of the organizers of the Farmers' Bank at Plain City, of which he was president until it was re-organized the Farmers' National Bank, and was president of that bank up to the time of his death, which took place in July, 1907. Mr. Atkinson was successful in all his undertakings, and was a natural __ maker. He took a leading part in the educational life of the county. He also served on the school board for many years and was prominent in the Grange. He was one of the first to introduce the use of tile in Madison county. He was interested in stock raising, and fed cattle, hogs and sheep in great numbers, selling carloads each year. William and Lucinda (Nunemaker) Atkinson were the parents of three children: Eva, the wife of Henry Francis, and the mother of two children: Charles F., of Plain City and Cephas, who is now the president of the Farmers' National Bank. Cephas Atkinson, the paternal grandfather, was born near Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, and came to Ohio, locating in Greene county, but afterward moved to Champaign county, where he spent the remainder of his years, and where he became the owner of sixteen hundred acres of land, in Canaan township. His wife was Abigail (Oren) Atkinson. Charles F. Atkinson's fine property, known as the "Oakland Farm," is situated on rural route No. 1, Plain City, where his personal worth places him in an enviable affection in the community. Mrs. Lucinda (Nunemaker) Atkinson, mother of Charles F., was the daughter of John and Mary Ann (Ruhlen) Nunemaker, both born in Wittenburg, Germany, the former of whom came to this county when three years of age with his parents and the latter came with her brother at the age of sixteen. Mr. Nunemaker settled with his parents in Fairfield county, Ohio, and Mary Ruhlen settled there also and they were there married. They lived there for some years and then moved to Union county to a farm and they lived there until death. Their children were Martha, Lucinda, Catherine (deceased), Margaret (deceased), Jacob (deceased), Samuel, and Nancy Ann. Of these, Jacob and Samuel served in the Civil War, Jacob in the Ninety-sixth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and Samuel also in an Ohio regiment. Jacob died during his service. The father of these children was sixty-nine years of age at death and the mother eighty-nine. They belonged to the German Evangelical church, and later joined the Methodist Episcopal church. Mrs. Lucinda Atkinson was previously married to Robert F. Fleming, at the beginning of the Civil War. This marriage was solemnized in Union county. During the battle of Chickamauga, Mr. Fleming was killed. He enlisted as a private and was promoted to lieutenant for gallant conduct on the field of battle and on the day of his death was acting captain. He was about twenty-three years of age at the time of his death. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #3 Date: Sun, 6 Aug 2000 05:01:26 -0400 From: "Maggie Stewart" To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <070401bfff85$991533a0$0300a8c0@local.net> Subject: Fw: Hardin County Ohio Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathleen Ruhlen To: Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2000 10:50 PM From the History of Hardin County, Warner Beers Co., 1883 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES Marion Township ELIAS JAGGER, farmer, P.O. Ada, was born in Licking County, Ohio, March 9, 1818. His paternal grandparents were John and Phoeba Jagger, the former born May 3, 1748, the latter July 2, 1746. His father, Silas Jagger, was born in New York September 1, 1774; and his mother, Sarah (Meeker) Jagger, was born July 3, 1776, one day before the Declaration of Independence. In 1840, our subject located in Allen County, Ohio, and remained there until 1868, serving six years as Justice of the Peace, since which time he has resided in Hardin County. He was married, May 15, 1838, to Maria Conkle, of Fairfield County, Ohio, and to them were born eleven children, their names and dates of births as follow: Wilson, March 2, 1839; Clarissa, February 23, 1841; Almen, November 5, 1842; Clearman, October 4, 1844; Louisa, June 5, 1846; Winfield, March 12, 1848; Taylor J., March 23, 1850; Elisa T., August 23, 1852; Sarah M., March 9, 1855; Elizabeth J.

On October 23, 1882, Mr. Jagger laid out the village of Jagger, on the Chicago & Atlantic Railway, in the southeast corner of Section 8, on the Round Head and Ada Turnpike. The village is nearly centrally located on the only railroad and turnpike of the township, and will probably soon become quite a business center. NATHAN McCLURE, farmer, P.O. Ada, was born in Ireland, January 15, 1808. He came to the United States about 1831 or 1832, and was married to Maria Walker, by whom he had three children-Elizabeth, Margaret and John. The latter was killed by a fall from a horse, at the age of eleven years. Mrs. McClure died when twenty-seven years of age, and Mr. McClure subsequently married Elizabeth Hughs, born in Ireland March 12, 1819, and who came to America at the age of five years. Five children resulted from this union, viz.: Mary Ann, Alexander, Robert, Rebecca and Matilda. Mr. McClure came to Hardin County in 1857, and settled on Section 10, where he has since resided, and where he is occupied in cultivating his nice farm of eighty acres. On April 7, 1877, his house was burned, entailing a great loss to him. Mr. McClure is industrious and peaceable, and is one of the useful citizens of Marion Township. ISAAC McCOY, farmer, P.O. West Newton, was born in Virginia October 1, 1816, and is a son of Washington and Margaret (Wolverton) McCoy. He was reared on a farm, and secured a fair education from the common schools. In 1832, he and his father came to Ohio, located in Allen County, and in 1840 came to Hardin County, where they finally settled. On March 20, 1841, he was married to Mary Jane Christopher, a native of Maryland, by whom he had twelve children, as follows: Sarah, born January 3, 1842, wife of Nicholas Engle; Margaret, born July 7, 1844, wife of Sanford Newland; John Henry, born September 3, 1846, married to Ella Hopper; Mary Malissa, born December 29, 1848, wife of Griffin Gaunt; Martha Jane, born February 4, 1851, wife of Sims Rutledge; William Thomas, born November 12, 1853; Caroline, born September 9, 1855, wife of Jerry Montague, of Dakota; Lemuel, born June 1, 1857; David Westley, born October 12, 1859, married to Samantha Zimmerman; Alice, born September 15, 1862; Charlie W., born March 29, 1866, and Emma, born February 16, 1869. John Henry served in the Nineteenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Mrs. McCoy is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. McCoy is a true type of the warm-hearted pioneers, seldom met with in these late days. CYRUS McGUFFEY, farmer, P.O. McGuffey, was born in Franklin County, Ohio, January 15, 1834. He is a son of John and Parmelia (Courtwright) McGuffey, both natives of Ohio. He was raised on a farm and educated in the common schools of Franklin County, also attended school at O.W. University for two years, and was one year at the Ohio University at Athens. On October 25, 1859, he was married to Miranda E. Patterson, a daughter of Thomas and Miranda (Codner) Patterson, by which union there has been one child-William Cyrus, born March 11, 1872. Mrs. McGuffey was a graduate of the Worthington Seminary, Ohio, and is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. McGuffey came to Hardin County in 1863, settled on Section 13, and has made himself a nice little home on the rich lowlands adjoining the marsh. He is one of those quiet and unassuming men who are seldom appreciated, except by a few intimate friends. He belongs to Pleasant Hill Grange, No. 598, of which he is Lecturer. In politics, he is a Democrat, fills the office of a School Director, is a member of the Executive Committee of the county, and is Postmaster of McGuffey Post Office. THOMAS H. RUMBAUGH, farmer, P.O. Ada, wa born in Allen County, Ohio, August 21, 1838, and is a son of John and Violet (Studivan) Rumbaugh, natives of Virginia and of German lineage. His youth was spent on a farm and he obtained an education from the common schools. In February, 1866, he was married to Elizabeth K. McClure, by whom he has had seven children-Ruth Ellen, born November 22, 1866; Joshua John, born August 16, 1868; Violet Rebecca, born October 31, 1870; Margaret Ann, born February 8, 1875; Jehu Jason, born October 15, 1877; Etta Polenia, born August 3, 1880, died October 7, 1881; and Merta May, born July 6, 1882. During the late war, Mr. Rumbaugh enlisted in the Twentieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in April 1861, served 100 days and re-enlisted August, 1862, in the Ninety-ninth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in which he continued for three years. He participated in the following general engagements: Murfreesboro, Stone River, Chattanooga and Dalton. At Stone River, he was wounded in a skirmish, and was in hospital ten months, afte which he was sent to Prospect, Tenn., where he was shot in the right lung and confined again to the hospital for six months. CHARLES WESLEY RUNSER, farmer, P.O. Ada, was born in Stark County, Ohio, January 9, 1843. He is a son of Andrew and Isabel (McDowell) Runser, the former a native of France, the latter of Pennsylvania. He came to Hardin County, Ohio, in October of 1850, and settled in Marion Township, in almost the newest portion of it. He went to school in an old log house that was without windows or floors, and secured what at the time was considered a fair education. He was obliged to pass through the woods for a distance of about two miles. At the age of twenty he commenced to teach. He was married at Rantoul, Ill., October 30, 1867, to Martha M. Lawrence, born June 5, 1842, a daughter of John and Mary (Calvin) Lawrence, the former of English, and the latter of German descent. The five children that resulted from this union are are follows: Clarence D., born December 30, 1868; William W., born March 4, 1870; Charles Clement, born May 30, 1872; Roscoe A., born February 13, 1875; and John Franklin, born August 28, 1879. Mr. Runser and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In politics, Mr. Runser is a Republican, and has held the offices of Township Clerk for two years, Justice of the Peace fifteen years, and was elected County Commissioner in the fall of 1882. He has lived to see the forests fade away, and the fields to blossom like the rose in their stead. Over the site where his dwelling now stands was a great place for fame-such as deer and wild turkey-to roam, and the Indian had a camping ground on the banks of a small stream running by. This seemed the favorite hunting ground, as it lies midway between the Scioto and Hog Creek Marshes, and game was very abundant. Mr. Runser owns a fine farm, which is under a high state of cultivation, and is located in the northwest quarter of Section 2, Marion Township. -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V00 Issue #240 *******************************************
