HENRY C. IDDINGS,
township trustee and leading farmer of Saline Township,
Jefferson Co., Ohio, was born on the farm on which he
resides, one of the most valuable in this part of the
county, July 24, 1871. His parents were
Henry and Ruth Ella (Moore) Iddings.
Henry Iddings was born in the Scotch
settlement in Columbiana Co., Ohio, and was brought to
Saline Township, Jefferson County when two years old and
spent his life here. He was a man of unusual
business capacity and became a man of wealth through
farming and dealing in stock. At various times he
acquired land and at the time of his death, in August,
1906, when aged eighty-four years, he left an estate of
1,000 acres to his family. During a large portion of
his life he was a strong adherent of the Republican party,
but in his later years identified himself with the
Prohibitionists. On many occasions he acceptably
filled township offices. Both he and his wife were
members of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Hammondsville.
He married Ruth Ella Moore, who was
reared in Richland Township, Belmont Co., Ohio and died in
Jefferson Co. in 1898, at the age of sixty-seven years.
She was a daughter of Rev. James A. Moore,
a Methodist minister. They had eight children,
namely: James M., who conducts the home farm with his
brother, Henry C.; Sarah Jane,
who is the wife of W. C. Yeagley, of Knox
Township; William H., who is engaged in
farming near Somerset; Sue Ellen, who is
the wife of W. C. Parsons, of Cleveland;
Edward K., who is a farmer in Harrison County;
Henry C.; Cora E., who is the wife of
Malcolm R. Hart, of St. Louis; and
Esther E., who is the wife of
James A. McMillan, of Richmond, Jefferson County.
Henry Coit Iddings attended school at
Hollow Rock and afterward went to work on the home farm
which has occupied him ever since. The farm contains
1,000 acres, and is underlaid with coal and also a fine
vein of a particularly valuable clay. Farming
and stock raising are the industries pursued here with
great success.
In March, 1907,
Mr. Iddings is a Republican and he is
serving as a member of the township board of trustees.
