Notes |
...When Irwin Nutt was a young man he learned the tanner's trade from his father, but he followed that trade for only a short time. After acquiring a fair common school education in the district school, he spent six months in the seminary at Xenia, Ohio where he prepared himself for teaching, and occupation that he followed for a time.
...In 1832, when twenty-one years of age, he united with the Methodist Episcopal church and remained a faithful and useful member for the rest of his life giving freely of his time and money in its behalf.
...He married Miss Barbara W. Persinger, of Green County in 1834, then in 1836 they settled in Shelby county and bought a piece of timber land one mile north of Sidney, where he built a cabin and began to clear the land. His busy axe soon enlarged the clearing and in time fertile fields took the place of the dense forest, and as the product of his toil he was able to command not only the necessities, but also some of the luxuries of life. In the work of developing the homestead he was greatly aided by his faithful wife, who did her part in spinning and weaving flax and wool for the family garments as well as aiding in the outdoor work, in addition to performing her usual household duties and rearing a family of seven children.
...In 1854 Irwin Nutt rented his farm out and moved to Pemberton, Ohio where he engaged in the buying and shipping of grain, but three years later he returned to his farm and remained there until 1873. By this time all his children had married and settled in homes of their own and a lonely air pervaded the old homestead... and as he express it, ... "the clock ticked too loudly on it's shelf". At the earnest solicitation of his children, he again rented out the old farm and he and his wife spent the rest of their lives with the children, residing for a while with one, then with another.
...When he died in 1880 he was living in the home of his youngest daughter, Mary Malinda, wife of Dr. john Campbell Lilley at Quincy, Ohio. His remains were brought to Sidney and lay in state at the Methodist Episcopal church for two days when interment took place in the Graceland cemetery. His funeral procession was one of the largest seen in Sidney up to that time.
...He was among the first members of The Worshipful Master mason Lodge &73 in 1865/66. Other positions that he held included: Assessor of Clinton Township in 1843, justice, 1848, Trustee in 1862, 1866 and 1867. Justice again in 1870. He was a Justice of the Peace from 17 April, 1848 until 08 April, 1870. (Reference:

...Irwin Nutt was born in Montgomery county, near Centerville, O., January 31, 1811, being a son of Aaron Nutt, Jr. In his youth he learned the tanner's trade, which, however, he followed for but a short time. After Acquiring a fair, common school education in the district school, he spent six months in the seminary at Xenia, O., where he prepared himself for teaching, which occupation he followed for a time. In 1834 he married Miss Barbara Persinger, of Green county, O., who was born September 27, 1812. In 1836, with his wife and daughter, Louisa M. who was then one year old, he came to Shelby county and bought a piece of timber land one mile north of Sidney, where he built a cabin for himself and family and began to clear the land. His busy axe soon enlarged the clearing and in course of time smiling fields took the place of the dense and gloomy forest, and as the product of his toil he was able to command not only the necessities, but also some of the luxuries of life. In the work of developing the homestead, he was greatly aided by his faithful wife, who did her part in spinning and weaving the flax and wool for the family garments, also aiding in the outdoor work, in addition to performing her usual household duties and rearing her family of seven children. This family consisted of four sons and three daughters, as follow; Louisa M., born 1835, married Joseph Wilkinson; Edmund E., Margaret J., born 1840, who became the wife of James Middleton; William A., born 1843, who married Elenor C. Lillie; Mary M., born 1845, who became the wife of Dr. J. C. Lillie of Logan county, O.; J. Newton, born 1848, who married Mae Price and John M. born 1851, who married Ella Smith.
...In 1854 Irwin Nutt rented his farm and moved to Pemberton, O., where he engaged in the business of buying and shipping grain, but three years later he returned to his farm and there remained until 1873. By this time his children had all married and settled in homes of their own and a lonely air pervaded the old homestead--as he expressed it, "the clock ticked too loudly on its shelf." At the earnest solicitation of his children, he again rented out the old farm and he and his wife spent the rest of their lives with their children, residing for a while with one, then with another. He died in Quincy, O., at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. C. Lillie, on March 7, 1880. In 1832, when twenty-one years of age, he had united with the Methodist Episcopal church, of which for the rest of his life he remained a faithful and useful member, giving freely of his time and money in its behalf, and when his end came the final summons found him prepared to enter into the eternal mansions. His remains were brought to Sidney and lay in the state at the M. E. church from Monday until Tuesday afternoon, when interment took place in Graceland cemetery. His funeral procession was one of the largest seen in Sidney up to that time. He was among the first members of Temperance Lodge No. 73, F. & A. M., and during his life held all the offices up to and including that of worshipful master. His wife survived him until April 5, 1905, and was also buried in Graceland cemetery, Sidney.
