O. Kenton, was born in New York City January 8, 1837, and was brought by his parents to Goshen Township, Hardin Co., Ohio, in the same fall. His mother carried him on her back from Sandusky, performing the journey on foot, while his father carried the household effects. His father, Patrick Haley, was born in County Sligo, Ireland, in 1812, and his mother, Susan, also in Ireland in 1805. They were married in New York, and had six children born to them, our subject being the only surviving member. No roads had been built in those early days, the father of our subject having to carry two bushels of corn nine miles to mill and back, by paths through woods. He witnessed the clearing of the ground where the public square now is. He has cut twenty-five acres of grass in a season, assisted only by John, when the latter was but fourteen years old, doing all by hand and carrying it on poles to the stack. John used to mow two acres of grass for a day's work, receiving for same 37 1/2 cents. The parents are still living, and are residing in Goshen Township, on the farm which they settled. Our subject was married, October 11, 1859, to Miss Sarah L., daughter of Harrison and Emma (Freszell) Barren She was born in Guernsey County, Ohio, March 27, 1836. The results of this union have been ten children, viz., Emma S. (deceased), Mary R., Patrick R. Harrison Y., Peter G., John F., Charles E., William I. (deceased), Sarah J. and Alice M. Mr. Haley is a self-made man, having started in life a poor man. After his marriage, he took a job of clearing ten acres of land ready for plowing, receiving only $30 for same. In 1862, he bought and cleared forty acres of land in Section 23, Goshen Township, and in 1864 bought 160 more acres of wild land, and being inclined to speculate, he eventually sold and bought out the heirs of his father-in law in Section 26, Goshen Township, but, which he afterward sold out for the old Wheeler farm, a pioneer farm, and this he subsequently exchanged for his present home in Section 8. He has been for four years a Representative, being elected in 1875, and again in 1877, and is a prominent and popular citizen.

D. MILLAR, farmer, P. O. Kenton, was born September 26, 1819. in Muskingum County, Ohio. His father, John Millar, a native of Scotland, emigrated in March, 1805. His mother. Sarah (Dickson), was born in County Tyrone, Ireland; emigrated to the United States in 1810, and married in Muskingum County, where she reared a family of eight children, four sons and four daughters. The subject of this sketch, the second child, was educated at the common schools and at the McEntire Academy at Zanesville, Ohio. In April, 1836, he came to Hardin County with his parents, where his father entered land in Sections 30 and 31, of which the southeastern quarter of the former section is now owned by our subject. In April, 1848, he was married, in Muskingum County, to Martha, a daughter of Alexander Morison. a resident of Hardin County, who has attained his eighty-fourth year. This union resulted in four children, one living-Ida, married to W. N. Robinson, living on the farm known as the James Millar farm; their son is quite a prominent member of the family. In 1851, our subject was elected County Surveyor, which office he held until 1857; was County Auditor from 1861 to 1867; from 1868 to 1869 was County Engineer for construction of pikes and gravel roads; in 1866 and 1867, was again appointed Engineer. He is a farmer by occupation, and is now living on his farm, which is well-improved, and, for its size, among the best in the county. When he first came to the county, it was an almost unbroken forest, was very marshy and the dense foliage seemed to prevent evaporation; the contrast now is very great, the fine roads and beautiful towns showing the energy and thrift exerted. Among the mnny changes made is the drainage of the Hog Creek Marsh, in which our subject had charge of the work on the outlet and the deepening of the channel of the creek. This channel extended through the rock to a distance of about half a mile, at the site of the old Trussell Mill in Liberty Township. He was also appointed Engineer by the Joint Board of Trustees of Liberty, Washington and Blanchard Townships, and had charge of the system in the draining of the marsh, the construction of the hydraulic on the outlet of Hog Creek Marsh, near the eastern part running north into Hancock County. Part of the ditch on the old Beard farm, in Washington Township, was cut about eighteen feet deep from the surface, crossing the summit, making heavy cutting; the heavy cut was timbered with lumber, which on the bottom and sides was two inches thick, the caps four inches, the trunk five feet square in the clear. This work proved a success. The work on the tunnel was a very hard task. owing to the quicksand, which hindered the workmen in getting the timber before caving in on them. The work was finally accomplished and is claimed to be a perfect success. Mr. Millar has now reached his sixty-third year, and is hale and hearty for one of that age living in this climate. He is strictly temperate in his habits and has never been troubled with any sickness.
