William F. Moreland
William F. Moreland, treasurer of Island Creek Township, Jefferson County, Ohio, and engaged in business at Toronto as a florist, was born in Island Creek Township, June 13, 1866, and is a son of Daniel A. and Mary A. (Findley) Moreland.
Daniel A. Moreland is now deceased, but his widow survives and resides at Toronto. His father was David Moreland, an early resident of Steubenville. While living on his farm, Daniel A. Moreland served for a number of years as assessor of Island Creek Township.
William F. Moreland was reared and educated in his native township and for a number of years before coming to Toronto, was interested there in the coal industry and had two coal banks leased. In 1907 he established his florists' business at Toronto and has greatly prospered. He has two greenhouses, the dimensions of which are 70 by 20 feet, situated at the head of West Euclid Avenue. He keeps a choice collection of the plants and flowers that are most in demand and finds a ready market at Toronto and New Cumberland, W. Va. In politics he is a Republican and is serving his third term as treasurer of Island Creek Township, this fact alone proving his high standing in his community.
Mr. Moreland was married on January 2, 1892, to Miss Lena Chambers, a daughter of Joseph Chambers, of Toronto, formerly of Island Creek Township, and they have four children: Janet I., Harry McC, Leon W. and Nancy. Mr. Moreland and family are members of the First Presbyterian Church at Toronto, of which he is a trustee.
