J. Baughman David Hunter, who is meeting with success as a general farmer and stock dealer, is also well known in financial and industrial circles of Perrysville as a stockholder in several large and important concerns which are proving factors in the business activity and progress of the city. A native of Green township, Ashland County, Ohio he was born on a farm a mile and a half from Loudonville on the 14th of July, 1854, a son of John and Mary (Dowell) Hunter, natives of Ireland and Holmes Coutny, Ohio respectively. The father came to America in early boyhood with his parents who died soon after their arrival in this country. He was reared by his older sisters in Green township, Ashland county, where he eventually married and made his home until his demise. He engaged in farming as a life work and became very successful as an agriculturist, owning at the time of his death seven hundred and fifty acres of farm land, most of which was situated in Green townshiip, Ashland county. John Hunter and his wife were the parents of seven children, namely: John, a resident of Green township; David, of this review; Amos, residing in Richland county, Lewis, living in Green township; Reuben; Mary; and Jane, the widow of John Rowe, of Perrysville. Reared under the parental roof, David Hunter spent his boyhood days upon his father's farm, assisting in the general work of the farm and at the same time acquiring valuable knowledge of the methods of tilling the soil that should serve as a good foundation for his subsequent success in this line of business activity. After his marriage, however, he purchased one hundred and forty-seven acres of land from his father adjoining the corporation limits of Perrysville on the east, which place he has since continued to make his home. He is also the owner of eighty acres of farm land adjoining the corporation limits of Perysville on the west, making a totoal of two hundred and twenty-seven acres. Aside from general farming pursuits, during the past ten years Mr. Hunter has devoted much time and attention to the buying and shipping of stock of all kinds, and in all of his undertakings he has been eminently successful. As he has prospered he has extended his interests into other directions and today is a director and stockholder in the Perrysville Banking Company, a company composed of five members with a capital of twenty-five thousand dollars, Mr. Hunter owning a fifith of the stock. He is likewise a stockholder in the Perrysville Pottery Company and of the Roofing Tile Company, and his connection with these concerns has brought him into importnat relations with the financial and industrial interests of the city and placed him among the representative and influential citizens of the community. The year 1877 witnessed the marriage of Mr. Hunter and Miss Susan Boney, a native of Mercer County, Pennsylvania, whose birth occurred in September, 1855. She came to Ohio in early chilldhood in company with her parents, Levi and Lydia Boney, both natives of Pennsylvania. In the family of Mr. and Mrs. Hunter are five sons: Edward, a resident of Perrysville, who is active in the capacity of engineer at the Perrysville Pottery Company's plant; John, of Freedom, Pennsylvania, and engineer on the Pennsylvania Railroad; Burton, a farmer of Green township; Floyd, and Ernest, both still at home. Having spent his entire life in this county, Mr. Hunter has formed a wide acquaintance here and many of his warmest friends are those who have known him from his boyhood days, while in business circles he has won an envious position, not only because of the success which is his but because of the honorable and upright methods he has at all times employed.

J. Baughman Daniel Snyder, owning and operating a well improved and valuable farm of one hundred and sixty acres on section 15, Green township, is a native son of Ashland County, his birth having occurred on the farm on which he now resides on the 12th of December, 1867. His parents were Henry and Sarah Anna (Black) Snyder, the former born February 27, 1827, and the latter May 25, 1832. The paternal grandfather, who came to this county from Pennsylvania, bought a tract of one hundred and twenty-two acres in Green townshiip and here spent his remaining days. This farm afterward came into possession of Henry Snyder, the father of our subject, who resided thereon throughout the greater part of his life, The maternal grandfather, Samuel Black, likewise came to this county from the Keystone state, taking up his abode in the vicinity of McKay, in which town his demise occurred when he had attained the venerable age of ninety-two years. His daughter, Mrs. Snyder, was called to her final rest on the 26th of August, 1894. Her family numbered eleven children, three of whom died in early life, while eight still survive. The record is as follows: Samuel M., who is deceased; Henry Franklin, a resident of Green township; James Buchanan, of Columbus; Mary Ellen, the wife of Amos Hunter, of Mansfield; John Snyder, who makes his home in Lake township; Willis and Emma Bell, both of whom have passed away; Daniel, of this review; Elverta, the wife of George Thomas, of Green township; Anna Eliza Cordelia, the wife of Sam Budd, of Green township; and Charles, a resident of Vermillion township. Daniel Snyder lost his father when only about twelve years of age and, being one of a large family, was early obliged to provide for his own support, working as a farm hand by the month as soon as old enough to handle the plow. In 1902 he bought the home farm of one hundred and twenty-two acres and also an adjoining tract of land, so that his property now embraces one hundred and sixty acres on section 15, Green township. It is situated on the Perrysville and McKay road, a mile and a half from McKay and three miles from Perrysville. On the farm are good outbuildings as well as a commodious and attractive residence and a substantial barn, which was built by Mr. Snyder after the old one was destroyed by fire. He has brought the fields into a state of rich fertility, so that he annually harvests good crops and derives therefrom a gratifying income and, being not only progressive but also thoroughly parctical in his methods, he carries forward to successful completion whatever he undertakes. On the 4th of October, 1902, Mr. Snyder was united in marriage to Miss Gladys Vesta McClure, whose birth occurred in Vermillion township, Ashland county, March 26, 1884, her parents being Louis and Josephine (Huston) McClure, who are naitves of this county and make their home in Vermilliion township. Their family numbered five children, namely: Mrs. Snyder; James C., who died in infancy; Lottie Pearl, at home; Dollie May, who likewise passed away in infancy; and Lula Flossie, who is also yet under the parental roof. Both Mr. and Mrs. Snyder are representatives of old and well known families of Ashland county, where they have spent their entire lives, their many sterling characteristics having gained for them kindly regard and warm friendship.

J. Baughman Peristent, earnest labor has won for Benjamin Franklin Humphrey a creditable and satisfactory measure of success. He is still giving his undivided time and attenetion to general farming, which he conducts on section 23, Green township. He was born in Vermillion township, Ashland county, on the 14th of December, 1857, and has spent his entire life in this part of the state. He was a son of John and Rebecca (Tawney) Humphrey. The father's birth occurred in Vermillion township, November 6, 1832, while the mother was born in Pennsylvania, March 1, 1834. The paternal grandparents were Andrew and Mary (Humphrrey) Humphrey, who were of Irish lineage but it is not definitely known whether they were natives of Ireland or not. They cast in their lot with the ealry settlers of Ashland county, sharing with the pioneers all the hardships and privations incident to establishing a home on the fronitier. Reared to farm work John Humphrey made that pursuit his life occupation and always maintained his residence in this county. Both he and his wife passed away on the 14th of December, 1906. Both suffered from pneumonia and they passed away on the anniversary of the birthday of their son, Benjamin. In his early life John Humphrey had been a carpenter and was connected with building operations to some extent, but always owned a farm. He had forty acres of land which he tilled in connection with work at his trade, His political allegiance was given to the democracy and he served as township trustee and as assessor of Green township. In all of his official duties he displayed an unfaltering loyalty to the trust reposed in him as well as marked ability in discharging his duties. Unto him and his wife were born eight children. Mrs. Mary Bittinger who is living in Green township; Mrs. Emma Kellogg, of Marion county; Andrew, who died March 27, 1877, at the age of twenty-two years; Benjamin Franklin; H.S., who is a resident of Green township; John E., living in Mansfield, Ohio; MIchael W., a resident of Orange township; and Hattie Adell, living in Montgomery township. In his boyhood days Benjamin F. Humphrey became a pupil in the public schools and mastered the branches of learning therein taught. In the periods of vacation he was engaged in farm work and lessons of industry and enterprise were impressed upon his mind. He learned how best to till the fields and produce good crops, so that the farm annually gives a maximun yield in the corn, wheat and other cereals which are here raised. The place comprises one hundred and twenty-five acres lying in sections 14 and 23, Green township, his home being on the later section. He has lived on this farm for sixteen years but expects soon to leave it and remove to Loudonville, where he will remain until he finds another farm which he wishes to purchase. On the 26th of June, 1879, Mr. Humphrey was united in marriage to Miss Emma Shaffer, who was born in Green township, May 12, 1861, and is the daughter of Peter and Susan (Black) Shaffer. They now have two children: Gerturde M., wife of J. M. Kettering, of Loudonville; amd Charles W., living in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey have many friends in the community and enjoy the hospitality of the best homes. Mr. Humphrey is recognized as a man of good business judgment and sound discernment, whose energy has brought to him a well merited measure of success.

J. Baughman Michael Helbert, who carries on general farming on section 27, Vermillion township, his place comprising the southeast quarter, also owns other property in the county and may well be classed with its representative agriculturists. He was born in Bedford county, Pennsylvania, January 26, 1820, and has therefore passed the eighty-ninth milestone on life's journey. He has been a resident of Mohican township, Ashland county, since 1835, in which year he came to Ohio with his parents, Jacob and Elizabeth (Moch) Helbert. He is the oldest of the living members of a family that once numbered thirteen children. His entire life has been given to farm work. After the removal to Ohio he asisted his father in the arduous task of developing and improving a new farm, remaining at home up to the time of his majority, after which he purchased ten acres of his father's place in Mohican township and there resided for thirteen years. About forty years ago he purchased his present farm and it has since been his home. It comprises one hundred and sixty acres of land constituting the southeast quarter of section 27, and in addition to this he has a farm of sixty acres about a quarter of a mile from his home place. In the meantime, after tilling his original tract of ten acres, he bought seventy-four acres in Mohican township, living thereon for about five years, or until he purchased his present place. In the midst of this farm he has a good brick residence and there are other substantial imporvements on his land. His entire life has been given to general agricultural pursuits and whatever success he has achieved is attributable entirely to his own labor and careful management. On the 25th of October, 1847, Mr. Helbert was married to Miss Susan Ward, who died in April, 1860, at the age of thirty-three years, leaving five children: John, who died in 1885 at the age of thirty-five years; Willliam, living in Vermillion township; Frank, a resident of Hayesville; Emma, wife of George V. Ewing of Vermillion township; and Alma, at home. On the 30th of October, 1861, Mr. Helbert was married to Miss Ann Hazelet, who was born in this county, May 10, 1843, a daughter of David and Mary (Mich) Hazelet. Her father was married twice and Mrs. Helbert was the only child of the second marriage. By her marriage she became the mother of five children, of whom two died in infancy, the others being: Della, at home; Matie, the wife of Samuel McClure of Vermillion township; and George Murton, who resides on the old home place and operates the farm. The land is well improved with good buildings and annually brings forth rich harvests. Mr. Helbert, now in advanced years, leaves the active work of the farm to his son. He is, however, a remarkably well preserved man for one of his age, and his life has been one of untiring diligence, perseverance and well directed strength.

J. Baughman John P. Bowman, who since 1890 has been editor of the Loudonville Democrat, was born in Shelby, Ohio, March 2, 1867, his parents being George and Sarah E. (Leppo) Bowman. The father, a native of Baden, Germany, came to Shelby, Ohio, when fifteen years of age in company with his widowed mother, who later returned to the fatherland and there passed away. Throughout his active business career George Bowman was identified with the dry goods trade in Shelby and Loudonville and was also a teacher of music and musical director. At the time of the Civil war he aided in the preservation of the Union by his service as a member of the Ohio Hundred and Sixty-third Ohio Volunteer Infantry and also did duty with the Squirrel Hunters. His demise, which occurred at Sandusky in 1892, was the occasion of deep and widespread regret. His wife was a native of Richland county and there passed away. Unto this worthy couple were born four children, namely: John P., of this review; Ella, the wife of W. J. Weirick, of Loudonville; Georgia, who died when twenty-one years of age; and one who died in infancy. John P. Bowman remained in the place of his nativity until 1882, when he accompanied his parents on their removal to Loudonville, completing his eduation in the Loudonville high shcool with the class of 1884. After coming to this city and while still a high-school student, he spent his Saturdays and evenings in the office of the Advocate, of which P.H. Stauffer was then editor. After teaching several terms of school, in 1890 he purchased the Democrat, of which he has since been sole owner and manager, having enlarged the plant and quadrupled the circulation. When he first took charge of the paper he did most of the work in connection therewith himself but now employs five assistants and, in addition to editing the Democrat, also does considerable commercial printing. The Democrat is devoted to the dissemination of general and local news and that it meets the approval of the public is indicated by its large subscription list. Mr. Bowman has likewise served as secretary of the Northeastern Ohio Fireman's Association and is widely recognized as a most progressive, enterprising and representative citizen. In October, 1890, Mr. Bowman was united in marriage to Miss Addie Lyons, who was born in Medina county but was reared in Wayne County. They have one daugher, Ruth. Mr,. Bowman has served as president and clerk of the board of education in Loudonville and also as clerk of Hanover township, ever discharging his official duties with promptness and capability. Fraternally he is connected with Hanover Lodge, No. 115, F. & A. M., at Loudonville, and exemplifies the teachings of the craft in his daily life. He has now been a resident of Ashland county for more than a quarter of a century and for almost two decades has been prominently identified with its journalistic interests, his labors proving an important factor in the growth and improvement of the county in recent years.
