  ROBERT A. McLAUGHLIN, whose death occurred July 29, 1909, was a representative of one of the well-known and highly honored pioneer families of Carroll County and in his earnest and well-ordered life he well upheld the prestige of the name which he bore.  As a native son of Carroll County and as a man of sterling character and worthy achievement, he merits a memorial tribute in this history.
     Mr. McLaughlin was born in Lee Township, Carroll County, June 22, 1859, and is a son of William L. and Jane (Anderson) McLaughlin, the former of whom was born on the old homestead farm, in Lee Township, Jan. 12, 1823, and the latter was also born and reared in Carroll County.  James McLaughlin, grandfather of William L., was a native of Scotland and came to America about the middle of the eighteenth century, the remainder of his life having been passed in Washington County, Pennsylvania.  HE married Margaret Mitchell and they became the parents of nine children.  James McLaughlin took part in the French and Indian war and also the War of the Revolution.

  EDWARD MAPLE.  After having long been numbered among the successful representatives of farm industry in his native county, Mr. Maple sold his farm and in the spring of 1920 removed to Carrollton, the county seat, where he is now living retired and finds merited surcrease from the industrial labors and responsibilities that were formerly his portion.
     Mr. Maple was born in Center Township, Carroll County, on the 31st of May, 1851, and is a son of David and Elizabeth (Dray) Maple, the former of whom likewise was a native of Center Township, where he was born in the year 1821, and the latter of whom was born in Trumbull County, this state.  David Maple, who came from Pennsylvania to Carroll County in the early pioneer era, before the organization of the county, and who settled in Center Township, where the father obtained a tract of land and reclaimed a farm from the forest wilds.  On this old homestead he and his wife passed the remainder of their portion to the civic and material development of the county.  David Maple early began to assist in the arduous work of the pioneer farm which was the place of his birth, and his educational advantages were those afforded in the primitive schools of the locality and period.  He eventually became the owner of a valuable landed estate of 600 acres, and was one of the substantial farmers and honored citizens of Center Township at the time of his death in 1888, his wife having passed away in 1886.  He was a republican in politics and his wife was a member of the Christian Church.  They became the parents of six children - Edward, Jacob, Mary Elizabeth, Susan, Anna Theresa and George Washington.
     The old homestead farm gave its benignant influence and discipline to the childhood and youth of Edward Maple, and his alert mind broadened its ken through his application to study in the public schools of the locality.  He learned all details of farm industry while yet a youth, and when the father made provision for his children by giving to each a farm Edward received as his allotment an excellent place of 160 acres in Center Township.  This farm, upon which he made many improvements of modern order, continued as the stage of his successful activities as an agriculturist and stock-grower until 1920, when he sold the valuable property and in April established his home at Carrollton, where he purchased the attractive residence in which he and wife delight to extend welcome to their host of friends in the county.  In politics Mr. Maple has never deviated from the line of staunch allegiance to the republican party, and while he has had no ambition for public office he gave effective service during his incumbency of the position of assessor of his native township.  Both he and his wife hold membership in the Reformed Church.
     On the 27th of September, 1887, Mr. Maple was united in marriage to Miss Eliza Barnhouse, who was born in Perry Township, Carroll Co., Aug. 26, 1853, a daughter of Samuel and Susannah (Stewart) Barnhouse, both natives of Carroll County, where the respective families were founded in the early pioneer days.  Mrs. Barnhouse was a daughter of Mahlon Stewart, a prominent and influential pioneer of whom more specific mention will be found in connection with other personal sketches appearing in this work, he having been the founder of the village of Perrysville, this county.  Mr. Barnhouse died in 1894.  Mr. and Mrs. Maple have four children: Howard is married and resides in the city of Canton, Stark County, he having served two years during the nation's participation in the World war and having passed about one year in France, where he was assigned to the mail department of the service of the American Expeditionary Forces: Ralph E., of Carrollton, married Miss Bessie Noble, and they have two children, Marion and Joseph; and Oma and Curtis remain at the parental home.
     Edward Dray, maternal grandfather of Mr. Maple, was one of the men associated with pioneer ore mining and other kindred operations near Niles, Trumbull County, and he also served as a soldier in the War of 1812.  He finally established his residence on a pioneer farm in East Township, where his wife died, and he passed the closing period of his life in the home of his daughter Elizabeth, mother of the subject of this review, where he died when about ninety years of age.

  HARRY W. MAPLE, whose fine farm of 160 acres is situated in Lee Township, Carroll County, is a native of this township and a popular representative of a family whose name has been long and worthily identified with the history of this favored section of the Buckeye state.
     Harry Winters Maple was born Mar. 3, 1866, and is a son of James and Henrietta (Lotts) Maple, the former of whom was likewise born in Lee township and the latter in Union Township, a daughter of Henry and Phoebe (Johnson) Lotts, her father having been a native of Germany and a pioneer settler in Carroll County.  Mrs. Mary (Moody) Maple's parents were among the very first settlers in Lee Township, and both the Maple and Johnson families have been prominent factors in the civic and industrial development and progress of Carroll County, with pioneer honors like those of the Moody and Lotts families.  James Maple became one of the successful farmers of Carroll County, where he originally had a farm in Lee Township, whence he removed to a farm in Union Township, where his son Harry W. of this sketch passed the major part of his childhood and youth, his early education having been obtained mainly in the district school known as the Foot school.  James Maple was one of the sterling and influential men of the county and served many years as a member of the board of directors of the county infirmary.  He was a republican in politics and was an active member of the United Presbyterian Church, as is also his widow, who now resides at Carrollton.  Of the children the first born was Edwin, who is deceased; J. W. is a farmer in Lee Township; Harry W., of this review, was the next in order of birth; Flora is the wife of George Ray, of Carrollton; Anna is the wife of Jacob Allen, of Alliance, Stark County; Ella is the wife of Stewart Hess, of Union Township; John is a resident of the City of Alliance; Gertrude is the wife of Martin Southern, of Carrollton; and Perry maintains his home at Alliance.
     Harry W. Maple continued to be associated with the activities of his father's farm until the time of his marriage, in 1891, and he then rented a farm in Center Township.  One year later he removed to a farm in Lee Township, where he continued his activities six years, the following year having been passed on a farm in Loudon Township.  He then, in 1900, purchased his present farm, upon which he has made excellent improvements, including the partial remodeling of the substantial old brick house that has long stood on the place.  He is numbered among the vigorous and successful exponents of agricultural and live-stock industry in his native county.  His political allegiance is given to the republican party and while he has had no ambition for public office his civic loyalty has been shown in his effective service as a member of the school board of his district.  He is affiliated with the local Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry and holds membership in the United Presbyterian Church, as did also his wife, who passed to the life eternal on the 28th of October, 1912.
     The year 1891 recorded the marriage of Mr. Maple to Miss Rena Maude George, who was born and reared in Lee Township and who was a daughter of James L. George, a representative of another of the sterling pioneer families of Carroll County.  Mrs. Maple is survived by five children:  Mearle is the wife of Albert R. Rutledge, of Lee Township; Martha is the wife of James Ohler, of East Palestine, Columbiana County; Nellie is the wife of Oscar Ohler, of Fox Township, Carroll County; and James Harry, and Wilda remain at the paternal home.

  IRA S. MOODY.  A broad-minded, public spirited citizen of Carrollton, Carroll Co., Ira S. Moody, a prominent coal operator and merchant, ahs long been associated with the higher and better interests of this section of the state, ever advocating and working for those ideas and measures that will be of lasting good to the community.  A native of Carroll County, he was born, Apr. 12, 1874, in Center Township, on the farm which his Grandfather Moody hewed from the wilderness.  On the paternal side he is of Irish ancestry, being a lineal descendant in the fifty generation of James Moody, the immigrant, the lineage being thus traced; James, John, John, Frank B. and Ira S.
     Born and reared in Ireland, James Moody came as a young man to the United States, making his way directly into Ohio.  Locating in Fox Township, in that part of Columbiana Co. that is now included in Carroll County, he took up land near Scroggsfield, and began to clear from the dense wilderness a home for himself and family.
     His son John Moody was born and brought up on the parental homestead, in Fox Township, and there spent his entire life, being engaged during his active career in agricultural pursuits.  He married Phoebe Pugh, and to them seven children were born, three sons and four daughters.
     John Moody, son of the foregoing John Moody, was born Jan. 14, 1818, in Carroll Co., where he acquired his early education.  At the age of fourteen years, he went to Harrisburg, Carroll Co., and there served with his brother-in-law, David Need, an apprenticeship at the wagon maker's trade. Returning to his home at the end of three years, he subsequently entered the employ of Elisha McG__ the pioneer wagon and plow manufacturer of Carrollton.  Embarking in business on his own account in 1839, he continued at his trade for a number of years, building up a large business.  Subsequently buying on to it, and in addition to carrying on general farming and sheep raising operated a coal mine, being the pioneer in that branch of industry.  He was a republican in politics, influential in party ranks, and served two terms as county treasurer.   He married, Mar. 28, 1839, Lena, daughter of John and Mary (Reed) Pugh, of Virginia, and they became the parents of the following named children; Mary Ann, who became the wife of John Gratz; John married Areal Amos, daughter of William Amos, of Carroll County; Frank P., father of Ira S.; William married Susie, daughter of W. F. Brecker, of Carrollton; William Harrison died in 1841; Phoebe Ellen died in 1843; Maurice died in 1857; and Samantha Jane died in 1888.  Both parents were members of the Presbyterian Church.  Neither are now living.  It is well here to say that John Moody, the pioneer coal dealer of Carroll County, operated a mine situated on the farm now owned by Honorable D. O. Return, conducting the business for a quarter of a century.  He was succeeded by his son Frank and his grandson, Ira S., who operated on a much more extensive scale, the Moodys having supplied the people of this part of Ohio for a full half century.
     Frank P. Moody was born in Carrollton, Ohio, Sept. 8, 1853, and acquired his education in the public schools Growing to manhood on the farm he became familiar with coal mining, and having succeeded to the business established by his father operated the mine located on the farm now owned by Mrs. Emma Fawcett for a number of years.  He married, Oct. 16, 1873, Catherine C. Smeltz, who was born Jan. 26, 1854, in Union Township, Carroll Co., where her father, Peter Smeltz, was a pioneer settler.  Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. Moody, who are now living on a farm just west of Carrollton, have but one child, Ira S.
     Ira S. Moody
became associated with his father in business when a young man, and has operated on an extensive scale.  For a long time he and his father supplied the local brick yard with coal, also carrying on a large domestic business, and their mine, with the exception of the brick yard, giving employment to more men than any other concern in Carrollton.  When the mine was practically worked out father and son gave up operating it.  In 1912 Ira S. Moody established what is now one of the most modern and convenient coal yards in this section, it being located along the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad, south side of Carrollton, and there he is carrying on a large and substantial business, handling the Pennsylvania and Ohio coal, and furnishing most of the coal consumed by the people of Carrollton.  Mr. Moody founded his business on the principles elucidated by the honest coal dealers, his motto, to which he is ever faithful, being "No short weights, and no long waits."  As a youth Mr. Moody worked for awhile on the old "Carrollton Republican," learning the printer's trade, and later held cases for awhile on that paper's successor, the "Republican Standard."
     Mr. Moody is a find musician, his favorite instrument being the double BB bass on which he has become very proficient.  He has had a wide experience in the band business, covering a period of over twenty years, playing with many good organizations. He was one of the leading spirits in the famous Carrollton Band, and was its manager for a number of years.  This organization was made up from the best families of Carrollton and would have been a credit to many towns of a much larger population, for it attracted considerable attention, wherever it went.  Mr. Moody served a five-year enlistment with the Fifth Regiment Band.  When  this organization was engaged to play at St. Louis Exposition in 1905 Mr. Moody was with them on this engagement.  Fraternally he is a member of the Ancient Free and Accepted Order of Masons, belonging to lodge, chapter, council and commandery.
     Mr. Moody married, Nov. 7, 1903, Miss Josephine Campbell, and they have an attractive home, in which they hospitably entertain their many friends and acquaintances.  Mr. and Mrs. Moody have no children.  both are active and valued members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
