In 1919 he moved with his family to Chicago -- where has was engaged for about eight years in businesses related to agriculture and stock raising. In May of 1928 he bought a third interest in the American sheep Breeder Magazine. In February 1930 he bought out the other two partners, and in the early thirties, in the depths of the depression, assumed a heavy debt to pay for the magazine, and set about sending his two children through college.
In 1938, after his children were through college, he moved his publishing business to Columbia, Mo., and his son, Perry Van, Jr. began to assume responsibility for publishing the magazine. Perry Van, Sr., always looking for greener pastures went into real estate development, literally turning some green pastures and some wood lots into residential communities on the outskirts of Columbia.

They were married in Virginia in 1824, and came to this county in the fall of 1825. Mr. Clevenger came to Clinton county in 1824 on horseback, but remained only a short time. The year of his settlement in Washington township (1825) he bought a farm of seventy-five acres on J. Blackwell's survey., No. 1.382. Mr. Clevenger was a man prominent in his day. For twelve years he filled the office of Justice of the Peace, and as Trustee of the township for several terms, besides various local positions. he died October, 1867. Mrs. Clevenger departed this life September, 1871. They had eight children, of whom our subject is the second son and fifth child. He was reared to manhood on his father's farm, and educated in the country schools. He is of English progenitor on his father's side and of German by his mother. His paternal great-grandfather and brother emigrated from England with Lord Fairfax's colony about 1738-39, and served in the French, Indian and Revolutionary wars, and was present with the victors at Yorktown. our subject's maternal grandfather, john Krouse, was born in Hesse-Cassel, Germany. He was a soldier in the war of the Revolution of the British side and was captured at the surrender of Yorktown, and with other prisoners was taken to Winchester Barracks. In 1853 and 1854, Mr. Clevenger took a course of instructions in surveying and civil engineering. He has been engaged in the former department since 1856 and the latter since 1869. he has been employed as engineer by the County Commissioners more or less since 1808. February 21, 1856, he was united in marriage with Miss Mary E. Mitchell, daughter of John and Mary Mitchell, and a native of Washington Township, where her birth occurred October, 1837. They have one child--J. Randolph. He was born June 19, 1857. Mr. Clevenger owns a valuable farm of 582 acres, located in Washington, Vernon and Marion Townships. his farm near Cuba is adorned with a substantial frame residence built in 1876 at a cost of $3,000. Its neat and well-arranged lawn and surroundings plainly indicate that a first=class farmer resides there. Mr. Clevenger superintends his farm and rearing stock, and has been very successful in financial pursuits; 1871-72 and 1873, he was engaged in the mercantile business with Mr. S. T. Moon, of Cuba. Mr. Clevenger is identified with the I.O.O.F., and in politics is Democratic. he has occupied various official relations in his township. He has been Township Clerk since 1865 and Justice of the Peace since 1866. Mr. Clevenger is one of the leading and most influential citizens of Washington Township, and a personal sketch of him in this volume is eminently appropriate. [Source: W. H.

Pioneers Shelley-Quince Families
No doubt the presence of several French families in this section attracted Francis Quince to this Land of opportunity, but land of privation, want and hard toil, and "it was by faith they sojourned in this land of promise," not knowing of its future as the garden spot of Ohio. Some of our heroic pioneers lived to see the morning glint of the day of promise; others died not knowing or dreaming of the great future of this great country.
Francis Quince was born in France, May 28, 1816. He came to this country when a young man and settled in Richland county, It was here that he married Catherine Shelley, daughter of Francis and Mary (Shanberg) Shelley, Feb. 13, 1842. She was born in France, Sept. 8, 1822. To Mr. and Mrs. Quince were born six children. Mary was born in Wayne county, Ohio, Nov. 1842, died May 1843. Solomon was born in Richland county, Nov. 5, 1845. Mary Celia was born in Richland county, Sept. 10, 1847, who became the wife of John P. Radenbaugh and is still living. Francis A. Jr., was born in Richland County, Aug. 2, 1849. Laura A. was born July 27, 1852 and died Nov. 8, 1879. Laura married Jarins Bobo to whom were born two children, Celia who became the wife of John Radenbaugh, Jr., and died in Anacortes, Washington, March 26, 1906, and Frank who lives in Spokane, Washington. Catherine was born in Paulding county, Aug. 12, 1856 and and died in October 1860.
Mr. Quince came to Paulding county in 1856 and settled on the farm which is now owned by his grandson, Frank Radenbaugh. Here they lived exemplary lives true to their Catholic faith in which they raised their children. In their home the itenerant priest found a hearty welcome and performed his priestly offices. It was on one of these visits that Felicia Barbier now Mrs. Charles Pio was baptized. The children attended what was called the Wiltsie school which was located in the angle between the Paulding road and the Wiltsie cemetery road. The teachers were Mrs. Theodora Merchant, Dr. Cunningham and Aelac Kilpatrick.
Mr. Quince was township trustee for six years; and treasurer one year. His death occurred July 8, 1879, aged 63 years. Mrs. Quince survived him until Aug. 26, 1898, aged almost 76 years. They were both buried in the Snellenberger cemetery.
Solomon—whose name was Joseph Solomon Quince was married in Paulding county Feb 12, 1872 to Mary Anastasie Socie who was the daughter of Eugene and Frances (Cholley) Socie and born in Stark county, Ohio, Aug. 28, 1850. Their family was Francis E. born November 22, 1872 and married Viola Smith—no children. Mary C. was born September 28, 1874, and married Christopher Vauble. They have one son Christian now a soldier. Charles J. was born January 4, 1878. Edward F. was born October 20, 1879, died February 7, 1881. Mary Celia married John P. Radenbaugh, December 7, 1866. Their family will be given later in business section of Payne. Francis A Jr., was married January 13, 1873 to Miss Agatha Lothammer, born in France in 1852 and the daughter of Theobold and Mary M. (Gamber) Lothammer. To this union were born Cahterine M., Oct. 6, 1873 and married David Smith, they have two children, Celia and Charles, Mary Celeste born April 11, 1875 and married Charles Speice. They have no children. Morris O., was born June 29, 1877.
A great tragedy occurred in this family August 19, 1880, when the father working in a clearing started for the house when a storm came up. He had his ax on his shoulder when struck by lightning; the ax acting as a conductor. The widow afterward became the wife of John Pearl to whom was born one son, Vinie Pearl.

Professor Hormell died June 17, 1933, in Tucson, Arizona, from heart attack. To the day of his death he had been in his usual health and good spirits.
Professor Hormell has been identified with Ohio Wesleyan in a unique way. He entered the college as a middle "prep" in 1883, and remained in Delaware until August, 1932, when he went with his family to Tucson, on account of his daughter Elizabeth's health. In Ohio Wesleyan he was Instructor in Mathematics and Physics, 1889-91; Assistant Professor of Physics, 1893-4; Professor of Physics, 1894-1930; Emeritus, 1930-22. He served as Dean of Men from 1909 to 1926, and Acting Dean of the College in 1929-30. For many years he was Secretary of the Board of Trustees.
Hormell enjoyed work with his hands,--in his garden, at his bench, with apparatus in his laboratory. When he retired from teaching in 1930 he fitted up a carpenter's shop in the basement of his house on Sandusky Street, and he did the same thing at Tucson. He loved to work with tools; he knew a good job when he saw it, and took pride in doing a good job himself. This sense of craftsmanship, of a good job well done, he carried into everything that he did. For many years he was Chairman of buildings and Grounds.
This same spirit of thoroughness characterized his work as a teacher, and Hormell was first of all a teacher. Teaching he loved, and into it he threw his whole soul. He was enthusiastic in his work in the classroom and laboratory, and the students caught his enthusiasm.
Billy Hormell was interested in folks. He taught physics, and physics, like some other college disciplines, does not ooze human interest. But he was interested in his students and their problems, whether their problems were with physics or with themselves. He was a loyal member of Delta Tau Delta, keeping a friendly and helpful, if necessary at times, corrective hand, on the undergraduate members. He was equally interested in the non-fraternity men, assisting some of their group attempts at the cost both of time and money.
Professor Hormell led the simple life. He led it from choice. He chose his own standards; they were not set for him by others. He was a home body, never happier than with his family or with his friends. His recreations were simple; his garden, his shop, his books. [Source: Article written by Prof. Lewis G.

Randle Janney, Sr., father of Thomas and Randle, was christened February 23, 1579/80 at Styall, Wilmslow Parish, the eldest child of Thomas and Jone (Worthington) Janny. In 1601/02 he was one of the appraisers of his father's estate, and his name was given as Rondull Janyon. In 1607 he was Churchwarden of Wilmslow Parish. Randle, Sr. died in October 1613 and is buried at Styall. He is mentioned in his father's will.

Randle's father was also Randle Janney. He married Ellen Alrodd/Alredd July 14, 1602 at Wilmslow and they had children Thomas, Randle, Heline and Richard born between 1605 and 1613/14. While not much is known of Randle, Jr., a good deal of information is known about Randle, Jr.'s older brother, Thomas. Thomas was born and lived most of his life in Styall. He and his wife, Elizabeth Worthington, joined the Society of Friends a short time after it came into existence. Thomas is mentioned several times in the early annals of the Friends, and their meetings were sometimes held at his house. He suffered "distress of goods", was imprisoned and otherwise persecuted on account of his faith. Thomas, along with others, purchased and presented to the Meeting the burial ground at Mobberley. In his wil he left a legacy to the Poor of his town. He may have been the Thomas Janney who was Mayor of Stockport in 1639. His will, dated April 10, 1677, is on file at Chester; his estate amounted to L53, 19s, 10d. [Source: Carmen J. Finley, "Hackney, Harlan & Heald - Our Quaker Ancestors", (Computer printed: C. J. Finley, Santa Rosa, CA, 1987), pg. 21, 22]
It does not appear that he joined Friends.
Whether it was Randle's widow who married Thomas Cotley May 29, 1620, or whether she was the "Elen Jany Widdow" who was buried Jany. 13, 1644 is not now known. If Randle left a will it has been lost or destroyed, the inventory of his estate being all that is now to be found in Probate Registry. In 1601 he was one of the appraisers of his estate, and his name is given as Rondull Janyon. In 1607 he was churchwarden of Wilmslow Parish. His only daughter died in infancy, his three sons survived him, and all married and had families.

Randolph Tp. Boy, 7, Killed In Dash For School Bus
Lad Runs In Front Of Auto On Rt. 48 As Mother Watches
A seven-year-old boy was injured fatally about 8:30 a.m. Thursday when he was struck by an automobile in the 8500 block on N. Main st. (State Route 48), when he dashed across the roadway to meet an approaching school bus, as his mother watched helplessly.
The child, Kenneth Beck, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thearen Beck of 8513 N. Main st., was pronounced dead on arrival at Good Samaritan hospital.
John V. Walker, owner of Walker Motor Sales, who also lives on State Route 48, was the driver of the car which struck the child according to Deputy Sheriff Thomas Siegman.
Siegman said the boy and his mother had been standing in front of their home on the west side of the road, waiting for the Randolph tp. school bus. As the child saw the bus approach from the south, he ran across the roadway and in front of Walker's southbound car. Mrs. Beck told Deputy Siegman at the hospital that the accident was not Walker's fault.
The boy was a second grade pupil at Randolph tp. school.
So far this year there have been 38 traffic fatalities in the city and county, 30 of them having occurred in rural areas. At this same time last year, 74 persons had died in traffic accidents with 46 of the deaths reported on county highways. | Beck, Kenneth Walter (I258)
