DAVID
M. ADAMS, farmer; P. O. Troy. David Adams is one of the
practical farmers in this township, and has lived here long enough to
give many facts of interest to the listener; he was born in Troy in
September, 1836; his first teacher was Mrs. Fairfield, the mother of
the President of Lincoln University, Nebraska. When a boy, going
to school, there was a pond holding water all the year round, where
our nice school building now stands. His parents were David and
Ellen Adams, who was a daughter of John and Martha Dougan.
David, Jr., was married to Miss Mary Cory, Mar. 11, 1875; their two
sons are named Andrew C. and Louis A. Andrew was born Feb. 1,
1877; Louis, Jan. 18, 1879, and both are promising lads. Mr.
Adams emigrated from North Carolina in 1817, and settled in Washington
Township; they were the parents of eight children who arrived at the
age of maturity. Emeline, Louis, Elizabeth,
Mary and Manlius
were children of his first wife. His marriage to Miss Dougan was
celebrated Dec. 27, 1827; their children were named John D., Andrew
J., Finley, David M., Martha D. and Sarah E. Only four of the
children are now living. As the ancestry of Mr. and Mrs. Adams
were all Presbyterians, it is natural for them to follow in their
footsteps; they are recorded among the first families in this
neighborhood. In 1855, David's parents moved to Minnesota for
the benefit of his wife's health. The climate being still more
unfavorable there than this, they soon returned; with the exception of
four years, David M. Adams has always lived in Miami Co.

ASA T. BEEDLE, Troy, of the firm of
Beedle & Kelly, founders and machinists, manufacturers
of Troy Champion Corn-planter, plows, etc., one of the most
important manufacturing interests in Troy. Mr.
Beedle was born in Miami Co., Ohio, on the 28th of
January, 1832. His father Daniel Beedle, was
from Kentucky, and was among the early settlers of Miami
Co., locating in Staunton Township. He died in Troy,
August, 1877, at the advanced age of 86 years. Asa
T. was raised to agricultural pursuits, obtaining a
common-school course, until at 21 years of age he completed
his education by a course of study at Antioch college;
returning from college, he followed farming until 1866, at
which time he removed to Troy and engaged in the manufacture
of plows. In the spring of 1870, he associated with
him in the business, John Kelly, under the firm name
as above, conducting a business that increased very rapidly.
A card of their business will be found in this work, also a
history of their great manufacturing establishment; their
sales extend throughout the Western States as well as in
Ohio and Pennsylvania. Mr. Beedle was married
in November 1858, to Calista J. Peck, who was also a
native of Miami Co., her parents being among the early
settlers. By this union they have two sons and two
daughters.

MRS. E. A. BEEDLE, Troy. Mrs.
E. A. Beedle, widow of Abram Beedle, was born at
Sharpsburg, Ohio, Aug. 11, 1822. Her parents moved to
Dayton in 1824, and she attended school until her education
was completed; her parents moved to Concord Township in
1842, and settled two miles south of Piqua. Her
marriage with Abram Beedle was solemnized June 9,
1847, and they commenced housekeeping on a farm then owned
by Mr. Beedle, three-quarters of mile west of Troy,
on the Covington Pike. Their first daughter, Belle,
was born June 9, 1848, and is now the wife of J. J.
Mitchell, of Yellow Springs, Greene Co., Ohio;
Frances, the second daughter, was born Aug. 14, 1853,
and is now the wife of William Martin, they reside in
Leroy, Coffee Co., Kan., Emma R., the third daughter,
was born June 9, 1854, and became the wife of George S.
Helman June 12, 1877. Two short years of a happy
married life were enjoyed, when she, together with her
infant son, Harry Orton, were buried in one grave,
and the gentle autumn winds sang the last sad requiem over
the grave made doubly sacred by its double offering.
Horace M., the first son, was born May 4, 1864, and
is now the comfort of his mother; he lives with her and is
completing his education at the Troy schools. Abram
Beedle, the husband and father, died April 14, 1876, and
his remains repose by the side of his daughter Emma
and her first-born, in a lovely spot in Riverside Cemetery.
The entire family, except the son, are conscientious
members, of the Presbyterian Church, and their daily life
gives evidence of that Power which is a "light unto their
path." Mrs. Beedle is 58 years of age, has been
a resident of this township forty years, and may therefore
be classed among the old settlers. Their farm is
neatly kept, a roomy brick house containing everything
necessary for comfort and convenience.

H. R. COATE, of
the firm of Coate & Caw, merchants, Troy; the
senior member of this firm was born in Union Township, this
county, in 1850, and is a son of John H. Coate, whose
sketch appears in this work. J. M. Caw, the
junior member, was born in the same township in the same
year; his father, George Caw,
was born in Virginia and when a boy came to this county, in
which he yet lives; the members of this firm received
collegiate educations, after which Mr. Coate
spent two years in Cincinnati and one in Philadelphia, in
mercantile pursuits; Mr. Caw received a like
experience in Toledo; in 1878, the above gentlemen took the
reins of this establishment in their own hands and are
driving to success; their ability, fair dealing and popular
business habits are fully recognized by the buying public,
who give them high rank among the oldest business houses in
Troy. Mr. Coate was married to Miss
M. C. Williams in 1870, by whom he has had one child,
viz., Orlestus Durant (deceased).
