WILLIAM D. HAKE
is still numbered among the survivors of the soldiery of the Civil
war, and is a farmer of Howland township, Trumbull county, Ohio, in
which township he was born Sept. 27, 1837, a son of George and
Catherine (Wortman) Hake. The father was born in York
county, Pennsylvania, in 1794 and died in 1876. The mother was
born in Reading, Pennsylvania, and died in 1892. George
Hake went from Pennsylvania to Ohio about 1830,and on his way
lost his first wife. By trade, he was a potter, but upon going
to Ohio he purchased a farm in what was then but a wilderness and
erected a log house, which he lived in several years, then provided
himself with a good frame residence. For his first wife he
married a Miss Miller, by whom he had five children:
Henry, John, deceased; George, Jr.; David,
deceased; Ann, deceased. For his second wife he married
about 1832, Catherine Wortman by whom was born five children:
Jacob, residing on the old homestead, in Howland township;
William D., of this sketch; Susan, resides in
Cortland, married Benjamin Battles; Eliza, deceased;
Zephniah, residing in Cortland, married Bazetta Stewart.
William D. Hake was educated in the district
schools, but did not have the educational advantages enjoyed by the
average youth of today. He remained at home until 1858, then
moved to Missouri where he teamed with an ox team until the Civil
war broke out. In June, 1861, - first year of the Rebellion -
he enlisted with Captain Dockerdy and General Price,
serving six months; was in the fierce battle of Wilson's Creek and
Lexington, where Col. Mulligan was captured, Mr. Hake
was forced to join the rebel army, but with a fleet horse made his
escape in March, 1862. Twenty-eight soldiers fired nine rounds
at him, but he received no wounds. He returned to his old home
in Howland township and worked for his father a year, then worked at
logging business three years. After that, he, with a nephew,
operated a saw mill two years, after which he purchased forty acres
of land, upon which he now resides and has followed farm life ever
since.
Politically, Mr. Hake is a loyal Democrat, and
in church choice is a Disciple, as is also his good wife. He
has been married twice, first to Mary Hayhusk, in 1862; she
was born in 1843, and by such union one child was born, Leman,
who is now engaged in the lumber business at Niles, Ohio. He
married Nellie Chamberlain. For his second wife,
William D. Hake married in 1874 Mary (Messimer) St. John,
a widow, by whom Mr. Hake had two children: Maude,
residing at home; she married Clarence Jones, who is engaged
in the saw mill business and employed by Charles F. Hake of
Girard, Ohio, and Mamie, who died at the age of four months.

PRESTON ROBERT HARKLERODE, a farmer
well known in Champion township, Trumbull county, has spent his
entire life (except a short period) in that part of the county.
He was born July 20, 1848. His father, Henry Harklerode,
was a native of Ellsworth township, Mahoning county, Ohio, a son of
a native of Connecticut who became a pioneer in Trumbull county, and
bought a tract of timber land, hewing a farm from out the dense
forest and spending the remainder of his days there, reaching an
advanced age.
Henry Harklerode, the father, received his
education in Ellsworth, and when a young man, he went to Champion
township and purchased timber land in the northeast part of the
township, which was at that time nothing but a wilderness.
There in the solitude of the Ohio forests, he erected but a
wilderness. There in the solitude of the Ohio forests, he
erected a log cabin in which he and his brother kept bachelor's hall
for a time, and each Saturday walked home to Ellsworth, returning
Mondays. At that date, deer and wild turkeys were very
numerous in that section, and as he was an expert marksman, he
always feasted on plenty of the choicest of wild game. For a
number of years he had no horses and did his work about the farm
with oxen. Upon his marriage, he brought his bride to his log
cabin, and for two years this cabin was their abiding place.
On his clearing, he raised flax and his wife used to card and spin
and weave cloth with which she neatly clothed her children.
This has almost come to be a lost art in these days of fast flying
shuttles and factories with their tens of thousands of rapidly
moving spindles. For years they had no stove, but cooked by
fireplaces, bright and cheerful. No lamps illuminated their
dingy rooms, but in the place of modern lamps and electricity, the
good pioneer was content with some lard within a saucer provided
with a rag, which served as a wick. This, with the flickering
light from the fireplace, lighted up the cabin home of the parents
of Preston R. in that long ago day. Here the hard
working father cleared up a farm from the great forests, and here he
labored, lived and died, age eighty-two years.
His wife was Mary Rose, a native of Milton
township, Mahoning county, Ohio, and she was the mother of six
children: Nancy Ann, Almira, Preston R., Laura, Warren and
Oscar. Mary Rose was the daughter of Robert Rose, a
native of New England, who came a pioneer of pioneers in Wilton
township. He served in the war of 1812. He purchased
lands in Milton township. He had a large family and while
clearing his land up he had to work for others to gain means with
which to support his family. He worked nights many times, in
burning the timber, after having walked four miles from his daily
toil. There he worked and finally conquered his forest tract
and made for himself and family a comfortable home. His last
years were spent with a son in Berlin township. He died at the
remarkable old age of one hundred and two years, his remains being
buried in the Eiches Cemetery, near his old homestead in Milton
township. His life and labors only proves that "more men rust
out than wear out." The maiden name of his wife was
Catherine Shafe. She died aged eighty-one years.
Preston R. Harklerode was reared and educated in
Champion township and, with the exception of two years spent in
Bristol, has spent his entire life in his native township. In
1870 he settled on the farm he now occupies and owns. When he
went there he found about seven acres under cultivation, but he has
brought it all under a high state of cultivation and erected houses
and barns in keeping with the time in which he lives. His farm
now consists of one hundred and twenty-three acres, on which he does
general farming and carries on dairying and raises sheep.
In July, 1868, he married Elizabeth M. Osborn,
born in Farmington, Trumbull county, Ohio, March, 1851, a daughter
of Thomas, married Maude Woodford, and they are the
parents of Merlin and Laurence; Luella, married F. A. Cory
her children are Edna, Walter, Wade and Clarence; Lavern,
married C. C> Chinnock, whose children are Herbert
and Mildred; Maude, married Emerson Cory, and they
have Preston, Eva, Dallas and Arthur; Edwin,
married Nina Weise; Eliza, married David Livingston;
and Myrtle. Mr. Harklerode and wife are members of the
Disciples church, and politically he is a Democrat.
In conclusion it may be of interest to those who read
these historic pages to known that Preston R. Harklerode's
mother, being the eldest in her parents' family, and the care of the
same after the death of her mother, who died when she was but eleven
years of age. In those days people went barefoot a part of the
year, and this girl used to be very careful of her shoes, and when
she attended divine worship she would take her shoes in a rough log
building, and before entering the holy place would stop and put on
her shoes.

SAMUEL K.
HINE, manager of the Girard Iron Company, Trumbull county, is
one of the acknowledged experts of the middle west in the scientific

virtue of his thorough technical education and his practical
experience of sixteen years in connection with various metal
manufactories of Ohio. Born Aug. 4, 1867, at Poland, Ohio, he
is a son of Samuel and Emma Caroline (Kirtland) Hine.
His father was an active merchant in Hubbard until 1864, when he
retired from business and lived at Poland, Ohio, until his death in
1893.
Samuel K. Hine received his preparatory
education at Poland Union Seminary, after which he pursued a full
course at the famous Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, of Troy, New
York. While pursuing his studies at this institution he became
a member of the Troy Citizens' Corps and was called upon to do guard
duty at Buffalo during the railroad strike of 1892. He was
graduated from this institution in 1892 and in the September
following he was appointed assistant engineer of the Falcon Tin
Mill, at Niles, Ohio, and after performing the duties of this
position for about two months accepted the more responsible position
of chemist for the Mahoning Valley Iron Company, of Youngstown,
Ohio. In February, 1893, he was appointed chemist of the Salem
Iron Works, of Leetonia, this state, and thus continued until
January, 1895. In the following month he removed to
Youngstown, Ohio, to assume his duties as assistant chemist of the
Ohio Steel Company. In the following month he became connected
with the Girard Iron Company as its expert chemist, and after
remaining identified with this corporation for six years he
established an office at Cleveland, Ohio, and for several months was
engaged in that city as a general consulting chemist. In June,
1903, he was appointed superintendent of the Girard (Ohio) Iron
Company and was promoted to its management in May of the following
year, in which position he has become widely known for his ability
and practical scientific attainments in connection with the
manufacture of iron.
In his fraternal relations Mr. Hine is a

GEORGE A. HOUSEL,
one of the representatives of the more enterprising class of farmers
who are cultivating the fertile soil of Farmington township,
Trumbull county, was born May 13, 1843. He is the son of
Jared and Lucinda (Miller) Housel. The former was
born in Jackson township, Mahoning county, Ohio, and the latter in
Farmington township, Trumbull county, of the same state. The
paternal grandparents were Peter and Sarah (Myers) Housel, of
Vermont. The maternal grandparents were Isaac and Sophia (Dabney)
Miller, of New Jersey. The grandparents on both sides were
among the early settlers in Trumbull county and located in the big
woods, which forests they helped to clear up, and there reared
families worthy the names they bear. There, as pioneer
characters, they lived, labored and died.
Jared and Lucinda (Miller) Housel were the
parents of six children, four of whom were sons, George A.
being the third in order of their birth. All are still living
except one brother Servenus, who died in the Union army at
the time of the Civil war.
George A. Housel received a common school
education and remained at home with his parents until his marriage,
June 15, 1862, to Julia Dilley a native of Bristol township,
Trumbull county, Ohio, a daughter of Samuel and Lydia (Patton)
Dilley, natives of Orangeville, Pennsylvania. One child
was born of this union, Julia, now Mrs. M. M. Joy, of
Southington township. The wife and mother died Sept. 8, 1863,
after which Mr. Housel returned to his parents' home and
remained there until his marriage to his second wife, Elizabeth
Maffitt, Apr. 15, 1866. She is a native of Farmington
township, Trumbull county, born July 24, 1842, a daughter of
Edward and Hannah (Palm) Maffitt. Her paternal
grandparents, Thomas and Jane (Drake) Maffitt, were of
Virginia, while her maternal grandparents were John and Hannah
(Flick) Palm, of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Housel's
parents were among the pioneer settlers in the forest lands of
Farmington township, where they spent the remainder of their days.
Mrs. Housel is the only survivor of a family of two sons and
two daughters, as follows: Lucy A., Mrs. Norton L. Gates,
died June, 1903; Absalom, died Mar. 1891; George W.,
of Company H, One Hundred and Seventy-first Ohio Volunteer Infantry,
illed at Kelley's Bridge, Kentucky, June 11, 1864, aged twenty-six
years; and Mrs. Housel.
After his second marriage Mr. Housel purchased a
farm adjoining his father's place and there he farmed for six years,
then bought his present farm of one hundred and fifty acres.
He has rebuilt the farm buildings and otherwise improved his
farm, placing it in an excellent condition, and has one hundred and
twenty-five acres of his place under a good state of cultivation.
He has always paid special attention to dairy work, which has been a
profitable adjunct to his general farming business.
In his religious faith Mr. Housel is in accord
with that of the Methodist Episcopal denomination; has been a member
and one of the trustees of this church many years.
Politically, he is a Republican and has held the office of township
trustee four terms. He was elected member of the board of
education in 1888 and served nearly twenty years. The largest
part of this period he was president of the board, showing the
interest taken in school matters, as well as the capability with
which he filled such position. He was master of the Farmington
Grange and is now its treasurer, being on his fourth term.
By Mr. Housels second marriage the following
children were born: 1.. Lovern E., born May 2, 1868; married
Nathan Asper, of Farmington township; she died Feb. 9, 1897,
leaving three children - Coryl L. (Mrs. Glenn Newell, of
Garretsville, Ohio), born June 4, 1889; George McK.,
born Apr. 30, 1891, resides with Mr. Housel; Marie Lovern,
born July 10, 1894. These children have been reared by Mr.
and Mrs. Housel since their mother's death. 2. George
Franklin, born Nov. 3, 1869, and owns a one hundred acre farm
formerly owned by his father in Farmington township. His
children are: Lucy Mabel, born Sept. 3, 1889, died May 12,
1893; George Henry, born Apr. 2, 1892; Clare Franklin
born Sept. 6, 1894, died Oct. 16, 1895; Edna Lovern,
born Nov. 25, 1896, died Apr. 15, 1897; Ertell Laverne,
born Sept. 16, 1898.

MARK
NELSON HYDE, one of the native-born farmers of
Trumbull county, Ohio, was born in Bristol township, November 17,
1877, a son of John and Elizabeth (Mahan) Hyde. The
mother was born in Guernsey county, Ohio, and the father in West
Farmington. Of the grandparents it may be said that they were
Eli and Hannah Hyde, born in England, and John and Cynthia
(Hill) Mahan, the former born in Ireland, and the latter in
Trumbull county. The grandfather Hyde went to
Farmington, Ohio, about 1816, settling on timber lands, which by
much labor he succeeded in clearing off and made into an excellent
farm. The parents of
Mark N. were united in marriage, in Bristol township, and
settled on a farm which the father had owned since 1840. In
all, he owned about four hundred and fifty acres, two hundred and
fifty of which is within Bristol township and the remainder is in
Mesopotamia township. John Hyde died aged sixty-eight
years. John Hyde was married first to Adelia A.
Green, by whom six children were born, three of each sex.
By the last marriage Mark N., of this memoir, was the only
child, and has always resided on the farm where he was born.
He now owns all the land his father possessed and works the home
farm of one hundred and thirty-nine acres, renting out the balance.
This tract of excellent farm land was all entered by the father and
by him improved. He raises cattle, horses and swine.
February 7, 1906, Mr. Hyde was married to
Gladys Prime, born in Clinton county, Ohio, a daughter of
Eugene and Rose (Hodgson) Prime. Her father was born in
West Virginia and the mother in Clinton county, Ohio. The
issue by this union is: Eugene Nelson, born October 1,
1907, and Gladys Thelma, born Nov. 5, 1908.
