Ohio Biographies



John Arthur


Married Freelove Evans; came in 1833-1834; worked as help at the Cheviot Inn (tavern) and when Bush quit, with Dunham Griffith, operated the hotel a year or more. He was a famous horse-breaker and was sent for by the father more than once. One one occasion he came and said to the horse: "Charley, do you know me? If you don't remember, you will soon!" Like too many in those days, his only fault was "drinking excessively"; it effected injury; he went elsewhere, perhaps Indianapolis.
