ALBERT R. McMAHAN, farmer, post-office Greenville, was born in Lordstown, 
Trumbull Co., Ohio, January 24, 1840, and is a son of Thomas and Lovina 
(Thorn) McMahan, the former a native of Trumbull County, Ohio, and the latter 
of Morgantown, W. Va. They were married in Trumbull County, Ohio, and were the 
parents of fifteen children, only ten of whom grew to maturity, viz.: Henry, 
Joseph, deceased; Lemuel, Mary, James; Benjamin, deceased; Angeline, deceased; 
Lewis, Albert B. and Jerusha. In the spring of 1846 the parents removed with 
their family to West Salem Township, Mercer County. The father erected a saw-
mill at Maysville, which he ran two years. In 1848 he purchased the farm 
whereon our subject lives, and erected a steam grist-mill, the first in this 
part of the county. He operated this mill nearly twenty years, and then sold 
it to Philip Schuster, who ran it until it was burned down. Mr. McMahan 
afterward built and operated a saw and planing-mill in Greenville about four 
years. He died on the homestead, in West Salem, October 15, 1875, and his 
widow August 29, 1887. He was a Republican in politics, and one of the most 
enterprising citizens of the township. Albert B. has lived in Mercer County 
since he was three months old, and grew up under the parental roof. He was 
married January 17, 1878, to Miss Linda, daughter of Matihias and Mary 
Weinland, of West Salem Township. Five children have been born of this union: 
Harry, Eva, Matthias, Thomas and Benjamin. Mr. McMahan has followed farming 
principally as an occupation. Politically he is a Democrat, and one of the 
energetic citizens of the community.
