Numan P. Squire
Numan P. Squire, farmer, P. O. Rapids, was born in Aurora Township, this county, December 9, 1813; son of Warren and Lovina (McConoughey) Squire, natives of Massachusetts, and of English and Irish descent, respectively, and whose parents settled in this county in 1809. Our subject was married, in 1839, to Miss Rebecca Avery, of Aurora Township, this county, a native of New York State, and whose parents immigrated to this county in a very early day. To this union was born one son—Frank, who is married and resides upon the home farm. The mother of this son died September 6,1844, and our subject married again, in 1846, Miss Julia A. White, of this county, also a native of New York State, and daughter of Nathan White, who was one of the first settlers in this county. Mr. Squire purchased his farm in Hiram Township, this county, in 1846, and has improved the same in many ways. He has served his township in most of its offices; in politics he is a Democrat.
