Of these, Mary Ellen is deceased; Avery lives in Knox County, Ohio where he owns a farm; Alice also resides in Knox county, where she owns a farm; William A., lives with his mother on the farm in Hardy Township, Holmes County. The father of these children died in March, 1859. He was one of the energetic young men of the township, and taken from his family in the prime of early manhood.
