MILLIKIN, WILLIAM B., resides one mile and a half southwest of Ontario. His grandfather was one of the first settlers in this part of the county. He came from Washington Co., Penn.,and entered the south- east quarter of Sec. 33. Mr. Millikin's father was born in 1812; was married to a daughter of Jeremiah Bow- ers, who was a pioneer of this county. He moved to Allen Co., Ohio, in 1836, where William was born Dec. 2, 1837. He lived with his father until he had reached his 19th year, when he came to this county. In 1861, March 13, he was united in marriage to Eliza- beth Walker. The next year, a call for volunteers was made. Mr. Millikin enlisted Aug. 11, in the 120th 0. V. I., and marched South asa private, but subsequently rose to therank of Second, thenFirst Lieutenant. He was along with the disastrous Red River expedition, and was captured and taken to Camp Ford, Texas, where he was held as a prisoner twenty-four days. At the close of the war, ]\Ir. Millikin returned and moved to Ontario. He was engaged in teaching for awhile and, in the spring of 1866, formed a partnership with J. T. Woods and S. A. Walker, and kept a store in Ontario about six months. About this time, he purchased a piece of land in Sec. 29, known as the old Mitchell farm, where he moved, Nov. 7, 1866. This place was in very poor repair when it came into his possession. A small log house and log barn constituted the farm buildi ngs. The farm is now in good condition, and has all the buildings necessary to a farm, built with particular reference to convenience and durability, and at the same time presenting a vei-y fine appearance. It is such men of enterprise and energy as Mr. Millikin,

REINHART, WM. H., Sr, came with his father, from Greene, Co., Penn., in 1830. He is of German descent, his great-grandfather, it is thought, having come from Germany. His father lived for many years in Greene, Co., Penn. In 1829, he came out and pur- chased a farm in Green Township, Ashland Co. (then Richland). The next year, he moved his family to this state, and settled on a farm in Mohican Township, which he leased for a term of seven years. At the expiration of this lease, he moved to his farm in Green Township, at which time Mr. Reinhart was 14 years old ; and as that township was then in Richland Co., he came into this county in 1837. His father's family sustained all the hardships incident to pioneer life after their removal to this State. The part in which they settled was heavily timbered, and many years of hard labor at clearing were spent, and that, too, with but poor accommodations in the way of living. When Mr. Reinhart was about 20 years of age, he left home to learn the carpenter trade with an older brother. After working four or five years at the trade, he was married, Nov. 8, 1848, to Rebecca Ewalt, and began housekeeping in Loudonville in the spring of 1849. He lived there one year; he then bought his wife's old homestead, in Lake Township, Ashland Co., and lived on that farm four years. Having sold this place he removed to Wooster, and worked while in that town at his trade ; but soon after going there he pur- chased a farm east of Wooster, one mile, and lived there two years. His next removal was to the vicinity of Shreve, Wayne Co. He purchased a farm there which
