Alonzo E. Olin
Alonzo E. Olin, farmer, P. O. Earlville, was born in Perry, N. Y. , May 18, 1820: son of Samuel and Betsey (Green) Olin, who settled in Streetsboro in 1839, where they cleared and improved a farm on which they lived and died (see sketch of N. S. Olin). Our subject came to Streetsboro, this county, with his parents, with whom he remained until he was twenty-three years of age, when he located on the farm now owned and occupied by his brother Elon, where he resided three years. He then settled on the farm where he now lives, most of which he has cleared and improved himself. He was married, October 12, 1812, to Almira B., daughter of Solomon and Hannah (Brown) Squiers, of Perry, N. Y., by whom he has four children living: James, Arthur S., John and Frank, all married; and there are seven grand-children. Mr. Olin is a representative of one of the leading pioneers of Streetsboro Township, his father having at one time owned over 900 acres of land here and in Franklin Township, most of which was divided and now owned by his descendants. Mr. Olin in politics is a Democrat.
