HANNAH K. ENTRIKEN.
This venerable resident of Butler township comes of a hardy
race, whose representative in the pioneer history of Ohio was
John Whinnery, an early settler in Butler,
and the father of Mrs. Entriken.
She was born in that township June 1, 1815, and until her
seventeenth year divided her time between a brief attendance
at school and rendering assistance in the domestic duties of
her father's household. Jan. 13, 1832, she was married
to Isaac Kelly, of Franklin Square, and
removed at once with her husband to his farm. She became
the mother of five children, as follows: William,
born August, 1833 and living near Winona; Zimri,
born July 10, 1835, now living in Iowa; Moses,
born July 27, 1837, and killed in 1864, during the Rebellion,
while engaged, as a member of the 6th Ohio Cavalry, in a
skirmish with the enemy; Phoebe Ann, born
Dec. 19, 1845, and died 1873; John, who died
at the age of five. Mr. Kelly died in
1851, and Jan. 13, 1857, his widow married Samuel
Entriken, living near New Lisbon. There, on her
husband's farm, Mrs. Entriken passed the days
of her second married life, until December, 1875, when death
deprived her a second time of her conjugal companion. Of
her last marriage there was no issue.
Since Mr. Entriken's death she has resided
with her son William near Winona, and now in the evening of
life enjoys a quiet repose and freedom from the bustling cares
which earlier employed her active existence. In 1837 she
became a member of the Disciples' church, and her allegiance
to that faith has to this time, for a space of forty-two
years, remained true and steadfast.

WILLIAM
ERLANGER, one of the leading clothiers of East
Liverpool, was born in Fuerth, Baveria, Germany, in the year
1853. His father, Willialm Erlanger, Sr., also
a native of Bavaria, was a dry goods merchant in that
country, a business he followed until his death, in 1852.
The subject of this mention is one of five children.
He was educated in the schools of his native country, and
after taking a course in a commercial college, began working
while still young in a knitting mill at Offenbach, A. M.
After continuing in the old country until 1871, working at
different places during that time, he came to the United
States, and for about one year was employed in New York
city, but afterward engaged in different enterprises at
different places. He first engaged in the clothing
business in 1872, in Philadelphia, where he clerked for some
time in a large wholesale house. In 1875 he began
business in partnership with Joseph Levy, at Butler,
Penn., and was also engaged in the same trade for some time
in the city of Canton, Ohio. The firm came to East
Liverpool in 1880, and established the business which Mr.
Erlanger at present conducts. In February, 1881,
Mr. Levy disposed of his interests in the
establishment, and since that time Mr. Erlanger has
been sole owner, and as already stated, is among the leading
clothiers of the city. He is a popular business man,
and socially occupies a prominent position in East
Liverpool. In March 1882, his marriage was solemnized
with Miss Sophia Meyers, of Philadelphia. The
wedded life of Mr. and Mrs. Erlanger has been blessed
with two children, Milton and Sidney. Mr.
Erlanger is a member of the I. O. O. F., Masonic Order
and Mystic Circle.

EVANS
FAMILY. The first member of the Family
family to settle in Columbiana county, was Jonathan
Evans, a native of Pennsylvania county, who was located
on the northeast corner of section 6, of Perry township, in
1805. This land now lies within the city limits of
Salem. He cleared and improved this land and was
intimately connected with the growth and development of this
section of the country. He died in August, 1849, at
the age of sixty-nine years, leaving a family of five
children, viz.: Mrs. Hannah Bousall, Mrs. Lydia
Mathers, Mrs. Susan Stratton, Mrs. Sarah Bousall and
Philip. He was a member of the Society of Friends
and a prominent citizen. At his death Philip,
his only son, succeeded to the homestead, where he resided
until his death. He laid out an addition to Salem,
known as "the Evans addition." He was a member
of the Society of Friends and at one time was the treasurer
of his branch of this order. His wife, Esther
Morris, was a daughter of Joseph Morris, a
pioneer of Goshen township, Mahoning county. By this
marriage one son was born, named Jonathan M.
Jonathan was reared on the paternal farm, being educated
in the public schools of Salem, and later in the seminary at
that place. Early in life he made farming his chosen
work and was engaged in agriculture and in the nursery
business in Perry township, up to 1885, when he removed to
Salem township, where he is now engaged in farming. In
1873 he married Miss Annis C. Miller, daughter of
Peter and Elizabeth (Whitacre) Miller, of Salem, by whom
he has had three children: Warren M., Esther
E. and Jonathan Morris. Mr. Evans was born
in what is now Perry township, Apr. 24, 1847. He is
man of much ability and enterprise, and has made a marked
success in his calling.

BENJAMIN
EVANS, dealer in general merchandise, is a
native of Wales, and first saw the light of day in the town
of Garndiveth, in the year 1844. His parents, Isaac
and Jemima (Waters) Evans, both natives of the same
country, came with their family of seven children to America
in 1850, locating in Washington county, Penn., where they
resided until 1857, when they came to Salineville, where
they resided until their respective deaths, the mother dying
in 1858, and the father in January, 1888. The
subject's education was derived from the resources at
command in Washington county, Penn., and Salineville, and in
1858 he engaged in coal mining, at which he was emplo9yed
until entering the United States army in 1861. He
enlisted in Company I, First Ohio volunteer infantry, with
which he served for a period of three years, having been
mustered in Sept. 14, of the above year, and honorably
discharged at Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 14, 1864.
During his period of service he was with his regiment in
many of the bloodiest battles of the war, including, among
others, Shiloh, Stone River, Liberty Gap, Chickamauga,
Orchard Knob, Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge, Buzzard's
Roost, Resaca, Adairsville, Bunt Hickory, Kenesaw Mountain,
and Chattahoochee River. After the last named battle,
the regiment was under Sherman and was mustered out
of the service at the date above mentioned. In the
battle of Mission Ridge, Mr. Evans was severely
wounded in the neck, the effect of which was to compel him
to remain from the field for some months in hospital, and
from the effects of which he still suffers. On
returning from the army he resumed coal mining at
Salineville, which he continued until 1877, when he embarked
in the mercantile business in the western part of the town,
but upon the death of his father, in 1888, he moved to the
stand occupied by the latter, where he has since sold goods.
Mr. Evans was married in 1867 to Miss Joanna,
daughter of James E. and Gwennie James both of whom
were natives of Wales, but at the time of the marriage,
residents of Pennsylvania. The following are the names
of the children born to this union: Dora B., Effie
C., Louis W., and Benjamin F. Mrs. Evans
and children are members of the Presbyterian church, and
Mr. Evans is a member of the Masonic fraternity, G.
A. R., and a republican in politics.
