Notes

DAVIS MARION HONEYMAN, whose finely improved farm of eighty acres is situated in Concord Township, on the western township line, about four and one-half miles west of Troy, is one of the self-made men of this section who has gradually built up his fortune from a small beginning and takes a justifiable pride in the fact. He was born in the old log house on the home farm near Troy, Ohio, January 18, 1856, and is a son of Michael and Lucinda (Hoover) Honeyman.
...Mr. Honeyman belongs to a pioneer family of Miami County, his grandfather, Benjamin Honeyman, coming here when the whole country was a forest and swamp land. He established himself near Nashville, Miami County, and to his first acquisition of land kept adding until he owned 400 acres, and gave each of his children forty acres. He lived to be eighty-two years of age and be was buried on his own farm, where many of the family rest. His children bore these names: William, Charles, Michael, Andrew, Benjamin, Serena, Anna, John and Susan. The two survivors are John and Benjamin. Serena was married to George Idemiller, who is also deceased; and Anna was the wife of Samuel Curtis, also deceased.
...Michael Honeyman, father of Davis M., was probably born in Pennsylvania, but he was quite young when the family came west, making the long journey through a wild region in wagons. He grew to manhood near Nashville and helped his father to clear up the land and often told of the valuable timber that was burned by the pioneers; much of it, if now standing, would mean a fortune to its owners. He lived at home until he was married and then bought eighty acres of the old Jenkins farm, three miles west of Tippecanoe City and went to housekeeping in the old log house that still is tenanted. He acquired other land until he owned 300 acres, this being his estate at the time of his death, which occurred in 1893, when he was aged seventy-five years.
...Michael Honeyman married Lucinda Hoover, who was born across the river from Milton. Her father was John Hoover, of German descent, who was one of the very early settlers in Miami county. The following children were born to Michael Honeyman and wife: Webster, who died young; Sarah Jane, deceased was the wife of William Frantz, also deceased; Benjamin, residing in Montgomery County, Ohio; Almeda, deceased, was the wife of David Jones, also deceased; John, deceased; George, residing at Tippecanoe City; Davis M.; Hanford, residing in Darke County, Ohio; Harvey, residing in Miami County, 0hio, Emeline, wife of Ira
...Davis M. Honeyman remained at home helping his father until his own marriage. He found but little time to attend school, but went through the winter months sometimes, but the greater part of his boyhood and youth was put in in very hard work. For three years after his marriage he lived on a farm belonging to his father, and in 1884 bought his present farm from Fred Fowler, and here he has engaged very successfully in general farming ever since. All the substantial buildings on the place were put up by Mr. Honeyman. When he started out for himself he received the gift of a horse from his father and with that went to work, exercising the prudence which has resulted in his now owning one of the very good farms and comfortable homes in the township. The handsome ten-room frame residence, setting back from the highway, he put up in 1903, having built the commodious barn in the previous year.
...Mr. Honeyman was married December 7, 1881, to Miss Anna Elizabeth Smith, a daughter of John and Mary (Idemiller) Smith. Mrs. Honeyman was born in Miami County, but her father came from Pennsylvania and her mother from Germany. Two children were born to this marriage: Minnie, who is the wife of Hubert Frantz, has one child and they live at Pleasant Hill; and Elnora, who lives at home. In politics Mr. Honeyman is a Democrat. He is an active citizen in his township and has served two terms, of three years each, on the School Board. ___(Source: Thomas C.
