Ths gentleman enjoys the reputation of being rated among the successful tarmers and stock raisers of the county. He was born in Oak Run township, on a farm, raised on a farm, and has always lived on and carried on farming, having now 600 acres on the London and Circleville pike, about six miles southeast of London, through which Deer creek flows, and on which are a handsome modern country home, spacious barns, and all other necessary buildings, in perfect order. Mr. Chenoweth married Ida Snydet of Lafayette in 1883, and one daughter, blesses their union. He does general farming, raising horses, hogs, and cattle, but leans a good deal toward sheep, feeding as high as 2,000 annually for mutton.
Mr. Chenoweth is a Republican, prominent as Mason, interested in the affairs of the county, has been township treasurer 12 years, and is very popular in all circles.
