  JOHN L. KINCAID, a prosperous farmer of Champion township, Trumbull county, Ohio, is a native of the township in which he now resides, born Oct. 17, 1848, a son of Thomas Kincaid, who was born in County Tyrone, Ireland, in 1800.  Thomas was the son of James and Ruth Kincaid, life-long residents of Ireland and of Scotch lineage.  Thomas learned the weaver's trade, which, with farming, he followed in Ireland.  He and his brother Robert were the only members of the family who ever came to America.  The latter settled in Canada, while Mr. Kincaid came to the United States, accompanied by his family, about 1830.  He lived at Warren for a time, then purchased a tract of timbered land of seventy-five acres, upon which there was a Log cabin.  He came without means, save enough to purchase stock with.  He began to clear off his forest land and two years later he sold his young stock and oxen to a Mr. Adams, who had a large farm in Warren township, and with the money made a part payment on his land, and then was employed by Mr. Adams for one year, receiving one hundred and fifty dollars and his house rent with feed for two cows.  At the end of the year he returned to his own land and there resumed work and remained there until his death in his ninetieth year.  He was twice married.  His second wife was Mrs. Mary (Lamb) Rafferty, a daughter of Alexander Lamb, a native of Tyrone.  By this marriage union the following children were born: Laura, James, Thomas, Alexander, John L.  By the first marriage the issue was one daughter, Mary J.  The mother had two children by her first marriage—Nancy and Henry.
     John L. Kincaid began his career by farming his father's land on shares for a few years, and then bought a tract of land in Warren township, where he began to make necessary improvements.  He built a small house at first and has from time to time added to his first land purchase, until he now owns one hundred and thirteen acres, all in a fine state of cultivation.
     He was united in marriage May 20, 1869, to Emma Blankenburg, born in Girard, Trumbull county, Ohio, a daughter of Henry Blankenburg, born in Germany, and left an orphan at the age of nine years, being reared among strangers.  When a young man he came to America, locating at Girard, where he engaged in mining.  He was industrious and saved his earnings.  In 1854 he bought a tract of land in the northwestern part of the township.  There the improvements consisted of a small clearing around a small log cabin.  He continued to work at the mines a part of his time for several years, and devoted the balance of his time to his farm.  By thus vigorously working he became the owner of a good farm property and there resided until his death.  His wife's maiden name (mother of Mrs. Kincaid) was Dorothy Hardman, a native of Germany, and a daughter of Michael and Margaret Hardman.  She came to America with her parents at the age of three years and was reared at Girard, where the father bought a farm and resided many years.  Mrs. Kincaid's mother died on the farm.  The children in this family were Emma, Alice, Mary, Lewis and Charles
     The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Kincaid are as follows: William H.  Mary Alice, Dora B., Nellie May, Clarence J. and Harvey G., born Nov. 30, 1890, died May 3, 1892.  William H. married Laura Neff and they have one son, Merle; Mary Alice married Josephus Stine and their son is named Harry; Dora B. married William Hulmes and their son is Harold; Nellie May married Bird Pangborn.  The mother belongs to the Grace Evangelical church.  In politics Mr. Kincaid is a Democrat.

  JOSEPH KREITLER, father of Mrs. Henry A. Simon, and long honored as a sturdy and industrious pioneer of Lordstown township, Trumbull county, was born in Diesen Hohenzollern, Germany, December 9, 1829.  He was the youngest son of John and Bridget (Rebholtz) Kreitler, both natives of Germany, and there the mother spent her active years.  The father came to America late in life, spending his later days with his son at Warren Ohio.  Joseph Kreitler received a good common school education in the fatherland and afterward was apprenticed to learn the trade of a millwright, which he followed in Switzerland until 1853.  He then came to America, settling in South Dedham, Massachusetts, where he worked at the cabinet-making trade until 1860, when he settled at Warren, Ohio.  The next year he purchased a small tract of land, cultivating it and working at his trade until 1876.  His sons were in the meantime doing all they could toward clearing up the land their father had bought.  From that year (1876) he engaged in farming, although it was a vocation in which he had no experience, but he made a success of it and remained on the place until his death, April 25, 1895.  He married, July 31, 1855, Josephine Kaeppler, a native of Baden, Germany, who came to this country with her widowed mother, brother and sisters, who settled near Boston, Massachusetts, where some of the descendants still live.  Mrs. Kreitler died June 15, 1903.  She had reared eight children:  Joseph, George, Josephine, Louisa, Charles Franklin, Albert,  Reinhart and Walter Edwin.  Mr. and Mrs. Kreitler were devout Christians and reared their children in habits of morality and industry.
     In closing this memoir, it may not be amiss to state by what process Mr. Kreitler carved out his successful life.  He landed upon our shores, a stranger in a strange land, unable to speak or read the English language.  His earthly possession was a five-franc piece and at the time of his coming times were very dull.  Had his money been sufficient, he would have returned to his native land.  There was no demand for other than skilled labor and that at low wages.  Fortunately, he secured work in a wood-working shop, where handles were turned out in large quantities.  He remained there a year, receiving but sixty dollars for his work.  He then found employment in a furniture factory of Truesdale and Townsend, in which he  continued until he went to Ohio.  Before his death he had well mastered the English language, and was an extensive reader, well Americanized, loved the Stars and Stripes, and, in view of his early advantages, reached a plane of life most creditable alike to himself, his family, and his adopted country.
