MARK WARREN, a prominent
educator of Noble county, was born near South Olive, July
26, 1872, and is a son of W. P. and Rhoda J. Warren.
He received his education at his home school, at South
Olive, in both the Common and Normal Schools, and at
Caldwell. He was exceptionally bright as a student,
began teaching at the age of eighteen, and has followed that
profession one way or another until the present time.
He was married Sept. 25, 1895, to Miss Ada Ogle.
For the past four years he has served as superintendent of
the Dexter City schools, and has brought them up to a
standard to be proud of. It was largely due to his
efforts that the school was classed by State School
Commissioner Bonebrake, as a third-grade High School.
In 1900, Mr. Warren was appointed school examiner of
Noble county, by Probate Judge L. W. Wheeler, in
which capacity he served with credit for more than two
years, when he resigned to enter politics. Securing
the nomination for county treasurer by acclamation in the
Noble county Republican convention in the spring of 1903, he
was elected to that office on November 3, by the largest
majority accorded any candidate on the ticket. Mr.
Warren will assume the duties of the office in
September, 1904.

ENOCH W. WICKHAM.
NATHAN WICKHAM, a native of New York
State, was the first of that name to locate in what is now
Noble county. He came to Ohio in the early part of the
last century, probably about 1810 or 1812, locating in the
township of Enoch, near the town of Caldwell. Of the
large family of children, one,
JEREMIAH,
was born in 1820 in Enoch township, grew to manhood there
and followed the calling of a farmer all his life. He
was married in 1838 to Miss Esther Ackley, a daughter
of Daniel Ackley, one of the first settlers of Noble
county. Mrs. Wickham is still living at the age
of eighty-three. They were the parents of eight
children: Nathan, who lost his life in the Civil war;
Daniel, a farmer; Nancy Jane, wife of Jesse
Archer; Jacob, a soldier in the Civil war, now a farmer;
Milberry, died in infancy; Phoebe, deceased;
Enoch W.; and Martha A., who also died in
infancy. Enoch W. Wickham, the subject of this
sketch, was born in Noble county in 1855, and was reared and
educated there. Upon reaching manhood he followed
teaching for three year, leaving that to enter politics.
In the fall of 1875, he was elected to the position of
County Recorder, re-elected in 1878, 1881, and 1884 serving
until January 1888. He then entered the insurance
business at Caldwell, and has been so engaged since, at the
present time the firm of Wickham & Ackley doing
practically all of the fire insurance business of Caldwell
and surrounding country. Mr. Wickham was
married in 1876 to Ella Harman, a daughter of
Garrett Harman, an old resident and prosperous farmer of
Noble county, Ohio.
