• Notes

  In a History of Logan County, Ohio, 1880, published by O.L. Baskin & Co., page 636, we find: “James MARQUIS, retired farmer, West Middleburg. Men are a success who win and of those who by their industrious and intense application to business have now not only a large share of this world’s goods but what is better, the golden opinion and regard of their neighbors, the subject of this sketch and his loving wife stand second to none. James entered Logan County in 1827, located at Bellefontaine, began to learn the blacksmithing trade. He worked at his trade for a number of years and it was while working at his vocation that he assisted in the task of shoeing the Indian ponies belonging to the Wyandotte nation on the departure of that tribe for the far west. In 1834 he bought the land he now owns and in 1840 moved on the same. At the time there were but few improvements on the land and he immediately began to fix things up and has continued to cultivate carefully the same until he has an excellent farm well drained and well watered. He also possesses valuable property near Middleburg. He married Lydia Ann DICKINSON and it must be confessed that a large share of his success in life is attributable to her energy, economy and loving interest. Lydia Ann gained her education by going to a subscription school three miles from her house where in a log cabin with greased paper over an aperture in lieu of glass, instruction was given to the whites and Indians. They have raised a family of two boys and two girls. Mr. and Mrs. MARQUIS with their youngest daughter now reside in the village of Middleburg.”
