FRANK
M. INMAN is numbered among the leading educators
of Sandusky county. He was born December 25, 1855,
in Scott township, where he still resides, and is a son
of Benjamin and Eliza (Jennings) Inman. His
father was born in New Jersey in 1817, made farming his
life work, and became one of the pioneer settlers
of Sandusky county more than half a century ago.
Here he entered a claim, transforming the wild land into
a rich and fertile farm, which our subject has recently
sold. His wife was born in New York in 1820, and
they became the parents of these children: Mrs.
Amanda Putnam of Middleville, Mich.; Mrs. Annette
Shiverly; Brazilla; Mary, wife of William Bates;
Benjamin, deceased; Mrs. Eldorado Fousy; Mrs.
Alfarette Ralph; Frank, subject of this sketch; and
Mrs. Candace Shawl. The great grandparents
were from England.
Our subject acquired his early education in the
district schools of his native township, after which he
pursued his studies in the Fremont High School, and the
Ohio University, at Columbus. He was therefore
well fitted for the profession of teacher, and has
become one of the most successful educators of Sandusky
county. In 1892 he was appointed to the county
board of examiners of teachers of Sandusky county, and
at the present time is clerk of the Sandusky county
School Examiners; has held other positions of public
trust, having served for some time in the capacity of
clerk of Scott township. He is a very progressive
man, a supporter of the advanced ideas of modern
education, and has done much to raise the standard of
schools in his locality.
On Christmas Day, 1875, Mr. Inman married
Miss Dellia V. Ernsberger, of Fremont, Ohio, a
daughter of John and Martha (Long) Ernsberger.
Her father was born in Maryland, in 1836, her mother in
Sandusky county, Ohio, in 1840, and their marriage was
celebrated in 1858. They now have three children:
(1) Vernon, born in 1867, married to Lula
Halter, and they have tow children; they reside in
Fremont, where he is engaged in the printing business;
(2) Juniata, born in 1873, is the wife of
Ralph Parke, of Ohio, and they have one child;
and (3) Mrs. Inman, who was born January 4, 1860,
and was educated in the district schools and in Fremont.
Her paternal great-grandmother was born about 1783. died
in 1870, and her paternal grandparents, Michael and
Sarah (Gear) Long, were natives of Ohio, and the
former born in 1817, the latter in 1819; his death
occurred in 1892. Of their six children five are
now living.
In 1875 Mr. and Mrs. Inman located on a farm
which they have just recently |
