D. F.
EBIE, farmer; P. O. Cairo; is a son of John and
Margaret (Hossler) Ebie. John Ebie was a
native of Lake Twp., his parents settling there previous to
1814. He spent his childhood in the woods of Lake
Twp., and remained at home until he reached manhood.
He married Miss Hossler, who was a native of Union
Co., Pa., and came to Stark Co., in an early day.
After his marriage he removed to Marlborough Twp., this
county, and settled on a farm of 185 acres, where he still
resides. D. F., the subject of these few lines,
is the oldest in a family of eighteen children, his birth
occurring July 24, 1839, in Stark Co. His early days
were passed like most farmer's sons, on the farm, and as he
was the oldest in the family, much of the farm labor fell to
him. He attended the common schools of his
neighborhood, the Greensburgh Academy and Canton high
schools, and after completing his education, he taught
school for several terms, and subsequently turned his
attention to farming, which business he is still engaged in,
owning 70 acres of well improved land in Lake Twp. In
1863 he married Lovina Showalter, of Medina Co., who
bore him seven children, six of whom are living.
Mr. and Mrs. Ebie are members of the German Baptist
Church.

ESSIG, farmer; P. O. Canton. Among the
families who settled in Plain Tp., in 1806 was the Essig
Family. Jacob, the father of our subject,
was a native of Adams Co., Pa., and in 1806 came to Stark
Co., with his parents. They settled on a farm in Plain
Tp., where Jacob worked at clearing the farm.
He married Elizabeth Weaver, who was a native of
Hagerstown, Md., and then settled on a farm, on Section 21,
and there lived thirty years. His faithful wife died
in 1852, after which he removed to Navarre, this county, and
thence to the home of his son Lewis, where he died in
1874 at the advanced age of 83 years. He served his
country nobly in the war of 1812. They were the
parents of eight children, our subject being the youngest
living. He was born in Plain Tp., this county in
December, 1828. His youth was spent on the farm, where
he remained until he was of age, 21. He attended the
schools of his neighborhood, where he acquired a good
education. He inherited 80 acres from his father's
estate, and there lived until 1872, when he bought 60 acres
where he now lives. In 1855 he was united in marriage
to Miss Mary J., daughter of John Gaff, of
Plain Tp. From that marriage there have been three
children, viz.: - Laura, Ada, and Joseph.
