Springfield Twp. -
I.
B. RAWLINS, lumber-dealer, Springfield. Mr.
Rawlins has been a resident of Springfield for the past
quarter of a century, during which time he has resided in
Springfield excepting about four years, when he resided on a
farm near here, and has been identified with different
business interests, although always owning a farm, and much
of the time actively engaged in agriculture. In 1875,
he engaged in the lumber trade here, operating a mill in
connection, which business he still continues. He is a
native of Delaware, born in 1809, but his parents removed to
Ross Co., Ohio, in 1810, and he resided there previous to
becoming a resident of this county; he was raised on a farm,
and what education he received was obtained in the log
schoolhouses of pioneer days; when of proper age, he learned
the potter's art, which trade he followed until he had laid
by enough for a start, then bought a farm, and, by improving
and selling, soon placed himself among the successful men.
He married Mary A. Hotsenpiller; she was a native of
Ross County; they have three children living - George C.,
who is now County Prosecutor; Albert M., now a member
of the firm of I. B. Rawlins & Son; and Mattie.
Mr. Rawlins comes of pioneer and patriotic stock; his
father was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was present at
Hull's surrender. His wife is a granddaughter of
Ferdinand Seigel, who was a surgeon during the
Revolution, and two of his sons were in the late war; the
oldest, Charles F., gave his life as a sacrifice for
his country, and, though several of Mr. Rawlin's
relations were residents of the South at the beginning of
the war, all remained thru and loyal citizens.
