Clark Yager
The Yagers are of German descent. The first we learn of them is in Pennsylvania. It was here that George Yager was born, in 1796. He married Margaret Craig and moved to Knox County, Ohio. Here, in 1822, Clark Yager was born. From Knox they moved to Butler County, where Clark grew to manhood and learned the milling trade. In 1841 he went to Piqua and worked in a mill; from there he went to Indiana, next to Michigan, then back to Piqua, from there to Dayton, from Dayton to Wapakoneta in 1859; in 1860 to New Hampshire, Auglaize Co. In 1862 he came to Sidney and run the Walker Mills, which he bought in 1879. These mills were among the first in the county. They have three run of buhrs, with two turbine wheels. In 1844 Mr. Yager was married to Miss Ellen Thomas. From this marriage there have been born five children, viz., Mary, Charles, George, Edward, and Maggie.
