Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Portrait and Biographical Record of Fayette, Pickaway and Madison Counties, Ohio, Chapman Bros. 1892. Biographical sketches of James S. Pancake and John Pancake. Pages 433 and 434: JAMES S. PANCAKE, a substantial and enterprising farmer and stock-raiser, residing in Range Township, Madison County, is a native of the locaility which is still his home. He was born October 14, 1832. His father was born in Virginia, in 1789, came to Ohio in 1806, and served in the War of 1812, under Gen. Harrison. He was a pioneer farmer of Madison County, and here married Miss Jane Wilson, a native of Pennsylvania, who came to the county in 1812. They were both members of the Methodist Church, and Mr. Pancake assisted in building the first Midway church and aided in organizing the first class at a log schoolhouse, a mile south of Midway, of which he was the first Class-leader. He also faithfully served as Trustee. Mr. Pancake was a self-made man, but by his own efforts won a competence. He came to this county at a day when the Indians were still plentiful and when deer were seen in large herds, and was numbered among its honored pioneers. In politics, he was a stanch Democrat and was man firm in his convictions of right and wrong. He was three times married. Four children of the first union grew to mature years and had families, and two are still living. By the third marriage, there were three children, but the eldest, Toland, died leaving one son, who bears his father's name and is now residing in the West. Our subject's sister, Mrs. Jane Johnson, resides in Kenton, Hardin County, Ohio, and has six children. J. S. Pancake remained on his father's farm until nineteen years of age, when he began clerking in Midway. After two years, he formed a partnership with J. Q. Winshall, of London, and Samuel Withrow, and began business for himself. The connection continued for two years, after which Mr. Pancake established a store of his own and was alone in business for about two years. About this time, he was married to Miss Elaenor W. Foster, their union being celebrated January 23, 1856. The lady was born near Danville, Ohio, January 23, 1837, and was married on her eighteenth birthday. Her parents were James and Margaret (Boyer) Foster. Her father owned about two thousand acres of land, and did not want our subject to follow merchandising, offering to give him a farm if he would abandon that occupation, which Mr. Pancake did. He resided upon his farm for twenty-eight years and it is still his property. He has increased his landed possessions considerably since that time and now owns seven hundred and forty-one acres of valuable land. Unlike most of his family, Mr. Pancake is a Republican, having supported that party since he cast his first vote for John C. Fremont in 1856. He has served as President of the Board of Education for a number of years but has never been an office-seeker, preferring to devote his entire time to his business interests and the enjoyment of his home. At the age of twenty-one, he became a member of the Methodist Church, to which all of his family belonged. He has been Class-leader and Steward for twenty-eight years and Recording Steward for twenty-seven years. He was Sunday-school Superintendent for more than twenty years, and his labors in relation to the church have been productive of much good. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Pancake were born three sons and two daughters: Jesse, who was born on a farm in Range Township, June 15, 1860, attended school in London, and pursued a course in book-keeping and banking in the Commercial College of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., from which he was graduated. He was then book-keeper in the Central Bank of London for several years, after which he went to Kansas, and invested his capital in town property at Greensburgh. After three months spent at that place, he became book-keeper and cashier for Sells Brothers, of Columbus, manufacturers and wholesale dealers in harness. Jennie, born in Range Township, May 2, 1864, is the wife of Dr. Edward Meade, of Midway, by whom she has one child. Ida Grace, born October 11, 1868, is the wife of Everett Beale, who resides near Mt. Sterling, and has one child. Earl Foster was born December 14, 1876, and Harford H. was born October 20, 1879. Mr. Pancake has been very successful in his business dealings. By industry, enterprise and good management, he has acquired a handsome property and become well-to-do. In 1883, he erected an elegant residence upon his farm. His home isone of the best places in the community, the land has been tiled, the fields are under a high state of cultivation and fine buildings have been erected. Pages 453 and 454: JOHN PANCAKE, who is known throughout Madison County as a man of more than ordinary business enterprise and exceptional sagacity in money matters, has accumulated wealth by farming and stock-dealing on a large scale, and, still in the prime of life, is actively engaged in business, but now resides in his beautiful home that he has made for himself and his family on North Main Street, London. Mr. Pancake was born in Stokes Township, this county, November 15, 1851, and is a son of Cephas and Nancy (Cooper) Pancake, who were also natives of this county, and spent their entire lives here. The father was born February 21, 1819, and died October 12, 1874; and the mother was born September 23, 1824, and died July 29, 1855. Both the Pancakes and the Coopers were early pioneer families of this State. Joseph Pancake, the paternal grandfather of our subject, who was a Virginian by birth, came here at an early day, and at first located in Ross County, but not long thereafter, he removed to Madison County and cast in his lot with the frontiersmen who had preceded him, and in later years died on the farm that he had redeemed from the virgin forest. He was born December 18, 1879, and died September 15, 1853. He had six children: Isaac, Jesse and William, who were half brothers to James, Toland and Jane (Mrs. Johnson). He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was active in its upbuilding in this county. The father of our subject was reared as a farmer and stock dealer in Range Township. He became very prosperous, and was one of the most prominent farmers of that township. He bought and sold stock extensively, and was known far and near as an exceedingly shrewd financier. In politics, he favored the Democratic party, and had clear and sensible views on all topics of general interest. He was the father of six children by his marriage with the mother of our subject, of whom our subject is the only survivor. The others were, Margaret, William, Mary J., Thompson and David S. By his union with Miss C.V. Mahoy five other children were born: Joseph, Edwin B., Emma I., Aquilla and Cephas P., of whome Emma and Aquilla are dead. The subject of this biography was educated in the London schools. At the age of twenty years, he left home and took a trip Westward to prospect for any opening by which he might make a good start in life. He was unable to find anything suitable, and returning home, he remained there until 1875, when he was married on the 9th of December to Miss A. L., daughter of Robert and Ann (Thomas) Rea, of London. Her father is one of the wealthiest men of the county, and is living retired in London. After his marriage, Mr. Pancake engaged in farming on the old Rea homestead in Oak Run township, where he remained until 1887. But prior to that he had purchased one hundred and fifty acres of the five hundred and forty acres of said farm, and the remainder of it his father-in-law gave to Mrs. Pancake. Besides this valuable property, Mr. Pancake has a good farm of ninety acres in the same township. He has three tenants on his farms, and from their rental derives a good income. He has always been a large cattle dealer, and has raised a great deal of stock, hiring some six hundred acres of land, besides employing his own for that purpose. He is still interested in dealing in stock and doing a general farming business. When he left the farm, in 1887, Mr. Pancake came to London and erected one of the best residences within its precincts. It is of a handsome and tasteful style of architecture, is supplied with all the modern conveniences and improvements, is elegant in its appointments, and its attractiveness is enhanced many fold by the unostentatious and gracious hospitality offered to all who cross its threshold by the amiable hostess and courteous, geneal host. Our subject and his wife stand high in social circles, their many fine qualities of head and heart attracting to them many warm friends, and the Episcopal Church finds in them two of its most devoted members, who contribute generously of their means to forward its every good work. Mr. Pancake is an uncompromising Democrat, and is well informed in politics, both local and national. He has held the offices of Treasurer and Trustee of Oak Run Township, and is classed among the men who take a genuine interest in all that concerns their community, and are an honor to the citizenship of their native county.

She lived only about one year, and he married for his third wife Mrs. Jane Dungan, nee Wilson, a native of Pennsylvania, the widow of Jessie Dungan, one of the early settlers of Range Township. With her he lived till his death, September 15, 1853, living, at the time of his death, in Midway. His wife died July 30, 1863.
