"W. R. VAN VOORHIS, farmer: P. O. North Robinson. The subject of this sketch was born in Dutchess Co., N. Y., May 25, 1802, the son of Samuel and Sarah (Myers) Van Voorhis, who were natives of the same county in New York. Mr. Van Voorhis came to Crawford County with his parents in 1821. They left New York for Washington Co., Penn., where they until they resided until they carne to Crawford County. They settled in Whetstone Township, where the parents died. The father died in 1856, and the mother in 1850. When they came to the county it was almost all unbroken wilderness and the land they entered at that time had to be cleared before they could raise the necessaries of life, and of course they saw many hard time and endured many privations, before they got their land under cultivation. Mr. Van Voorhis was 19 years of age when he came to the county, and he has noted the wonderful change that has been made in the county since he first knew it. He has been married twice. His first marriage was in 1824, to Hannah Jones, who was born in Wayne Co., Ohio and came to Crawford County with her parents in 1821. From this marriage there were seven children, two of whom are now dead. Hiram N., Daniel, Abraham, Sarah, Rebecca J., Catharine, and one died in infancy. The mother of these children died in 1841. About the year 1836, Mr. Van Voorhis went to Michigan, where he resided until 1841, when he returned to Crawford County and remained until 1860, when he again left, this time going to Wood Co., Ohio, where he resided until 1877, and returned to Crawford County again. He yet lives here, and expects to spend the balance of his days here. In 1842, he married his second wife, Almeda (Johnston) Warden, widow of Benjamin Warden, who died in 1840; he was a native of Harrison Co., Ohio, as also was she. They came to Crawford County in 1821, having two children - Nathan C. and Benjamin F. Ten children were born to Mr. Van Voorhis by his last marriage, two of whom are dead - Amanda, James M., Mary, Eliza, Geo. S., Martha, Isaac M., John R., Alice and Albert. Mr. Van Voorhis began business for himself without the aid of any one and made all he has by hard work and economy. He had one son, John M., and his two step-sons, Nathan C. and Benjamin F. (Warden) in the late war. all of whom lived to return home. Mr. Van Voorhis and wife are members of the Disciples Church."

Isaac Van Voorhis was born on Mar 27, 1823 at Carroll Twp., Washington County, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Daniel Van Voorhis and Mary Frye. Isaac married Elmira Hopkins, daughter of Thomas Hopkins and Hannah Pyle, on Aug 26, 1846. Isaac Van Voorhis died on Apr 5, 1908 at Beallsville, Washington County, Pennsylvania, at age 85. Isaac's estate was proved on Jan 22, 1909.
ISAAC VAN VOORHIS, one of the most prominent agriculturists and stockmen of Washington county, is a son of Daniel Van Voorhis, whose father was also named Daniel. The grandfather was born and reared in Holland, choosing from early boyhood " a life on the ocean wave." He was a sailor for twenty-four years, being captain of an Atlantic vessel during the latter part of that time. Finally tiring of the sea, he located in Long Island, N. Y., purposing to there make a permanent home; but his roving disposition led him farther west, and he finally located in Washington county, Penn., on the tract of land in Carroll township where Monongahela now stands, and here passed the best of his life. Daniel Van Voorhis, father of subject, was born and reared on the farm in Carroll township, this county. Here he erected a gristmill, still-house and sawmill, and employed a large number of bands. After the death of his father he took charge of the business, which had rapidly increased, virtually being the foundation of Mongahela City. In early life Daniel Van Voorhis was married to Mary, daughter of Henry Fry, who had married Miss Spears, a sister of the well-known divine, Henry Spears. To Daniel and Mary (Fry) Van Voorhis the following children were born: Newton (deceased); L. G., a resident of Morgantown, Penn; Abraham (deceased); John (living in Kansas); Isaac (of whom further mention is
made); Daniel (deceased); Jerome (living in Iowa); Harvey (residing in Spearville, Kans.); Sarah (Mrs. Cooper, living in Nottingham township, this county); Christina (Mrs. Fry, living in Finleyville, Penn.), and Mary (married to Frank Bentley, of Monongahela, Penn.). The mother died at the patriarchal age of ninety-five years, and when the father passed away he left 1,000 acres of land, which in his active years he had cleared, cultivated and planted to corn.
Isaac Van Voorhis was born March 27, 1823, in Carroll township, this county, near the headwaters of Pigeon creek. He attended the common school until about sixteen years of age, when be was given entire charge of the stock on his father's immense farm. Before assuming the duties of this position, he started on a trip to Kentucky. intending to purchase cattle, but finding nothing to suit bid in the "Blue-Grass region " he journeyed northwest to Ohio, and there purchased 150 head of stock. On his return home, when about half way, the boy was met by his father and brother Jerome, who took charge of the herd, giving our young "cow boy" instructions to "face about" and purchase another lot. Accordingly he made a second successful trip, to the satisfaction and delight of the family, who had been half doubtful of the result of the experiment. The youthful drover afterward made frequent western trips, soon accumulating a snug sum of money He was the first to drive cattle to the East,
seventy five miles below St. Louis. He would start on. horseback from the " Big Muddy," swimming the rivers, and on one occasion, on crossing the Muskingum, which was full of floating ice, his cattle sank in a quick sand, and he himself had a narrow escape from drowning. In 1846 be left the paternal roof, and began business for himself by investing in land in Somerset township, this county. About this time be received $3,000 as his portion of his father's estate, and then began a career almost unparalleled for unfailing business successes. His life has been devoted to -rearing, fattening and dealing in stock. In boyhood be earned the first horse he ever owned by splitting rails for 50 cents a hundred. It is needless to add that since the proud day when be received the deserved reward for blistered hands and aching limbs, Isaac Van Voorhis has never been without a good horse. He has reared and broken many of high breed and speed, that have since made good record, one of the most valuable being "Gray Hawk," which he sold for $3,000 to his brother Harvey, a resident of Kansas. His real estate now consists of 800 acres of very valuable land, upon which is erected one of the finest houses in Washington county. It is a matter of special interest that this home is situated on the highest point between the Allegheny Mountains and the Rocky Mountains. Mr. Van Voorhis also owns a large farm near Chicago, Ill., which he stocks with western cattle. The path to success is never easy, although it may seem so to the admiring or envious on-looker; and, in the case of Mr. Van Voorhis, many hardships were endured which space forbids us to here enumerate, and many obstacles overcome, ere he reached the pinnacle which he now occupies. He has visited nearly every State in the Union, and in his travels has swam every river between the Alleghenies and the Mississippi river.
On August 26, 1846, our subject was married to Elmira, daughter of Thomas Hopkins, whose ancestors were an old and prominent family of Scotland. Mr. and Mrs. Van Voorhis have been blessed with the following children: Samuel (deceased); Thomas and Frank (twins), Frank (deceased); Thomas (living); Van Emer (living at home); Selina (wife of Henry Huffman, a resident of West Bethlehem township); Lizzie (Mrs. Grootman, living in Pittsburgh, Penn., where her husband is engaged in the oil and soap business); and Charlie (yet living at home).
In addition to what has been previously stated in regard to the reputation of Mr. Van Voorhis as a stockman, he also enjoys the enviable distinction of having taken a greater number of prizes for stock at the county fair than any other farmer of Washington county. He breeds Hambletonian horses, short-horn cattle and Poland China pigs. Politically be votes the Republican ticket, but is averse to holding
office, although he was induced to serve as school director for twelve years. His wife is a member of the Baptist Church. Among the celebrated men who have visited at his home were Gen. Grant and James G. Blaine.

WEST FRYE:
West Frye was born in 1818, near the Horseshoe church, Carroll township, Washington Co., Penn. He was reared to farm life, and in early days
distilled whisky in connection with his agricultural duties. In 1840 he was married to Miss Christina Van Voorhes, a daughter of Daniel Van
Voorhes, of Fallowfield township, Washington county. She was born in 1821, and reared on the farm, receiving her education at the high school
and seminary of Allegheny, Penn. After they were married the young couple located on the old homestead near Horseshoe church, where they
remained several years. They afterward moved to Monongahela, where he engaged in distilling, but in 1857 moved to Union township, this county,
where he followed farming and hotel keeping. At that time the town of Finleyville was yet in its infancy, and has since been enlarged so much
that it now covers a portion of the Frye farm. Mr. Frye was instrumental in building up the town, having erected several dwellings and business
blocks. In politics he was a valued member of the Republican party. The following children were born to this couple, viz.: Robert B. (whose name
opens this sketch); Sarah A. (who was married to J. H. Gaston, and is engaged in the millinery and notion business.); Mary H. (who was married
to I. N. Morrison); Martha E. (Mrs. Boggs, of Des Moines, Iowa), and Ella C. (living at home).
Robert B. Frye was born in 1841, on the old farm at Horseshoe church, this county, and assisted his father in the general agricultural duties.
He graduated from the Iron City College, Pittsburgh, and in 1862 joined the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry. He served in the army of the
Potomac until the siege of Petersburgh, when his regiment joined General Sheridan's forces, and entered the Shenandoah Valley. September 28,
1862, Robert Frye was left on the field for dead, at Rock Fish Gap, near Waynesborough. He was captured by the enemy, and (as soon as his wounds
would permit) taken to Libby Prison November 10, 1864, where he remained until February 22, 1865. He was then paroled and first taken to
Annapolis, thence to Philadelphia, and put in the Mower general hospital, from there receiving his discharge June 17, 1865. After the
war he came home and went West in 1866, but, returning to Washington county in 1870, was married to Catherine B., a daughter of Michael
Teeple. The wedding ceremony took place on the anniversary of the day that he was wounded on the battle field, September 28, 1870. The young
couple first located in Melrose, Iowa, and then lived in Kansas and Colorado, and different parts of the West. In 1891 they returned to
Finleyville, Washington county, to help care for his aged mother. Mr. and Mrs. Frye are the parents of three children: Ella M., Jennie D. and
Robert M. He was one of the first to support the Republican party, but has recently espoused the cause of the Peoples' party, and was the
nominee of same, for representative from Washington county, in the campaign of 1892.

BENJAMIN F BENTLEY:
BENJAMIN F. BENTLY, a leading and influential citizen of Monongahela, is a native of this county, bon in Carroll township in December, 1821. His grandfather, Sheshbazzar Bentley, was born in Chester county, Penn., where he learned the trade of millwright, which he followed in both that and Washington counties. In Chester county he was married, and had one child, Hannah. Afterward he came with his little family to Washington county, a wagon being their mode of conveyance, in which they brought their chattels. They crossed into the county through the river at what is now Monongahela, and for the first night camped out near where the
present fair grounds are located. They then proceeded up Pigeon creek until they arrived at a point where Mr. Bentley established a mill site and built the first mill on the creek. On an adjoining hill he put up for himself and family a log cabin, in which they lived some years, and then erected a hewed log house, where he passed the remainder of his pioneer life. He also at this place founded, in 1816, the village of Bentleyville, in Somerset township. His children, born in this county were House, George and Sheshbazzar. Mr. Bentley was a Democrat in politics, and in religious faith a member of the Society of Friends. House Bentley attended in his early boyhood the subscription schools of the neighborhood of the place of his birth, Bentleyville, until he was old enough to work, when he entered his father’s mill to learn the trade. While a resident of Bentleyville he married Fannie, daughter of William Wallace, of Somerset township, and the children born to them were Hannah (Mrs. John Kennedy), Elizabeth, Sheshbazzar, William, Martha, Margaret, Benjamin F. And Amanda (Mrs. Joshua Stevens). After marriage Mr. and Mrs. Bentley moved to Carroll township, where he built a mill on Mingo creek, which he carried on many years. In 1824 he moved to a farm near Monongahela river, and there passed the remainder of his busy life, dying in 1852, a member of the M. E. Church. Politically, he was a Whig, actively and enthusiastically patriotic, and was considerably interested in militia matters, having at one time been a general.
Benjamin F. Bentley was reared in Carroll township, in the primitive subscription schools of which he received a fair education for those early days. The schoolhouse was made of logs, the floor and seats being rough puncheons, and the windows of greased paper in lieu of glass. He lived on the farm four or five years after marriage, and then came to Monongahela, where he has since made his home. He built his present comfortable and commodious residence in 1873. In 1849 Mr. Bentley was married to Mary, daughter of Daniel Van Voorhis. They have no children. They are members of the Baptist church, in which he has served as a deacon, and in his political affiliations he is a Republican. Mr. Bentley represents a family prominent and influential in the affairs of Washington county.

Henry Clay Van Voorhis
He was elected a Congressman for the Ohio 15th District in 1892.
Many distinctive features and achievements have marked the highly successful career of Henry Clay Van Voorhis, among the chief of which were six consecutive reelections to the national house of representatives an d a consequent service therein throughout twelve years, the longest congressional service in the history of the Zanesville district.
Mr. Van Voorhis was born in Nashport, Muskingum County, May 11, 1852 , a son of Daniel and Jane (Roberts) Van Voorhis, the former being of Dutch and the latter of English ancestry. Daniel Van Voorhis was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, November 25, 1806. In 1812 he came with his parents to Muskingum County, Ohio, where the family moved into a log cabin near the present village of Nashport. His early education was acquired in Licking township, and during twenty-five years he worked on his father's farm. In 1831 he resolved to establish a store in the neighborhood and his father, John Van Voorhis, agreed to lend him eight hundred dollars for the purpose. Young Daniel borrowed five hundred dollars from a nuncle and with this capital he purchased a stock of goods, riding on horseback to Pittsburgh for that purpose. The stock came by water to Zanesville and then by wagon to the store. The enterprise was a success but in 1843 the merchant became a farmer again and tilled the soil until his retirement from active pursuits in 1877. Meanwhile, his fitness for constructive public service had been established among his very numerous friends in the county and in 1860 he was elected to the legislature where he was one of the members who had the honor in 1861 of voting to appropriat e two million dollars for the suppression of the Rebellion. In 1873 he w as elected a member of the constitutional convention. He died at Zanesvi lle in 1903, leaving a record of probity, honor, success, and usefulnes s of the first order. His father, John Van Voorhis, had furnished an excellent example to this worthy son. Born in New Jersey in 1781, he had moved with the family in 1786 to Washington county, Pennsylvania, had made a good hand on the farm; had taken a cargo of flour by flatboat to New Orleans, sold the flour, sailed for New York, and safely arrived at the Pennsylvania home. On reaching his Muskingum County acres in 1812, he had cleared and fenced the land. There he continued farming successfully during sixty-two years. There he died in the ninety-fourth year of his age.
Henry Clay Van Voorhis received a good education in the district schools and at Denison University in Granville, Ohio. Until his twenty-first y ear he lived on the Nashport farm but from that time (1873) to the present his home has been in Zanesville. Admitted to the bar in 1874 and taking a course in the Cincinnati Law school, he began in Zanesville the practice of his profession in 1875. Next to this pursuit, nothing interested him more than national and state politics. It was logical that such an interest should lead into county politics. He was called upon to reorganize the republican forces so as to turn the county from the democratic to the republic column. He accepted the task. No man in the country has ever been better fitted for organization or reorganization. This was proven the next few years when he was chairman of the republican county campaign committee. He did revolutionize the politics of the county : he did make Muskingum a republican subdivsion. Meanwhile, he was establishing an excellent record as a lawyer and man of affairs. In 1885 he was elected president of the Citizens National Bank. The combined record led up to his nomination for membership in the fifth-third congress on the republican ticket in 1892. His worth was soon established; five consecutive reelections followed and when he retired at the close of the
fifty-eighth congress he had served twelve years, the longest incumbency every given any representative of the Zanesville district. And as congress man he was taking part in national politics, being elected in 1874 a delegate to the national republican convention, an honor repeated in 1916. During part of his congressional service Mr. van Voorhis relinquished the presidency of the Old Citizens National Bank but in 1905 he was reelected president and has since continued at its head.
In 1875 Mr. Van Voorhis was married to Miss Mary A. Brown, of Perry county, Ohio, daughter of Judge William A. and Margaret Brown. Mrs. Van Voorhis passed away some years ago. She had become the mother of five children: Adav V., wife of Thomas Wylie; Dollie, M. A., wife of Robert S. Black of Zanesville; Daniel, colonel in the United States Army; John A.' and Margaret E., at home. The latter is very prominent in social, musical and club activities and has taken especial and influential part in the development of the Young Women's Christian Association.
As president of the Old Citizens National Bank, H. C. Van Voorhis is a busy man, regularly to be found at his desk during business hours. What exercise and recreation he needs is found on his Nashport farm, to which he drives frequently and upon it keeps an experienced eye. His leisure hours are spent in intellectual fields and he is fond especially of history. Having been for so long time a member of congress and of the important appropriations committee of the lower house, his knowledge of national affairs and personages is varied and extensive, and he naturally takes keen interest in political, financial and economic movements and measures. Evidence of his value as a congressman will be found in the historical sections of this work.

[Buried as Nancy F. Prescott, 20 Oct, 1846 - 27 Jul 1884]
Died
At her home in Larned on Saturday, July 27, Mrs. Nannie Prescott, wife of George Prescott, age 37 years.
Miss Van Voorhis was borne in Washington county, Pa., in 1847 and resided there till coming to Kansas a few years ago. In 1879 she was married to Mr. Prescott and one child, Ella, aged two and a half years, is the fruit of this union. Mr. Prescott has two little girls by his first wife who have never known what it was to miss a mother’s tender care, having found in their second mother a patient, loving woman who gave to these dear ones all the help of her noble heart and willing hands. A father, mother and brothers and sisters are left to mourn the death which came in so untimely an hour. But the pain racked body was ever upheld by the “Everlasting arms” that were about her guiding the tired feet into paths of pleasantness and peace. The way was rough at times and the thorns of pain pierced cruelly the tender flesh. A tiny life came into existence only long enough to receive the wan mother’s kiss and the same hour the death angel breathed upon it and it lay white still. But the dear God who rules us all knew what was best and a few hours later the mother was laid to rest beside the little grave. She was a loving wife and mother and an earnest Christian woman of whom the world can truly say, “The world is better because of her having lived,
“Mourn not the slumbering dead but rather say,
Blest are the sleepers. Years may come and go;
Heads that are brown and gold may turn gray;
But they are done with earth and tears and woe.
Somewhere, we know, beyond the world of stars
They will at least have found sweet Lethe’s stream;
Sometimes we’ll meet them at God’s judgment bar,
Where life is love and love one long true dream.”.

FREDERICK W. COOPER. Among the successful and popular citizens of Nottingham township, none have been more prominently identified with the
interests of the community than the Cooper family. Frederic Cooper, grandfather of the present generation, was an active business man,
conducting a farm, distillery, carding-mill and gristmill, in which he was assisted by his sons Samuel F. and Frederick K. Cooper.
Samuel F. Cooper was born May 2, 1807, in Nottingham township, and received a good education at the schools of Waynesburgh, and assisted
with the farm work, and other interests with which his father was identified. In 1831 he was married to Sarah Van Voorhis, who was born in
1814. Her father, Daniel Van Voorhis, was a prominent man, owning a large distillery and oil mill, and dealing extensively in stock. Five
children were born to this marriage, namely: John P., Frederick W., Mary J., Clara E. and Van. Of this family, the latter three are deceased, and
John P. moved to Tennessee in 1869, where he followed farming. The father was a Democrat, and filled almost every office in Nottingham
township. He possessed a remarkable memory, and was a well educated man, enjoying the respect and confidence of all who knew him. He was
extensively engaged in the fruit-growing business. He died May 3, 1875, his widow May 19, 1892.
Frederick W. Cooper was born March 31, 1837, in Nottingham township, this county, and passed his early boyhood on the home place. On January
4, 1860, he married Miss Maria L. Stewart, of Allegheny county, Penn., who bore him two children, both deceased in early infancy. The mother
died April 20, 1864, and for his second choice Mr. Cooper married October 20, 1870, Mary W., daughter of John Manown. They have four
children, namely: Frank A., Samuel F., Clara G. and Ella F., all living at home.
Mr. Cooper has been an extensive traveler. He left home when a young man, and herded cattle six months for his uncle Van Voorhis, in
Illinois, in 1854; then returned home, and in the autumn of 1856 went to Missouri and Kansas, arriving in the latter State just at the close of
the Kansas troubles. He then traveled throughout the West. In 1860 he and his wife moved to a tract of land in Iowa which his father had
entered of the Government, remaining there three years, improving the land, when, his wife's health failing, they returned to her home in
Pennsylvania, where she died. He stayed at home the following summer, and in 1865 shipped a carload of horses to Illinois, sold his horses,
organized a company with Mr. V.B. Ward, of Richland, Keokuk Co., Iowa, and on April 13, 1865, they started for California, in wagons, arriving
at Salt Lake City, Utah, on the 4th of July following. They remained there one year, thence going to northern Montana, where they passed a
year in the mines. He then entered the commissary and quartermaster's office as clerk in Montana, and was employed there six months under
James L. Fisk, afterward riding his horse 500 miles from Helena, Mont., to Walla Walla, on the Columbia river, thence going to San Francisco,
Cal., where he sold books three months for H.H. Bancroft, finally returning to his present home in Nottingham township. He is now
proprietor of 160 acres, known as the "Nottingham stock farm," near Venetia post office. The farm is principally pasture land, and he makes
a specialty of raising fine Jersey cattle, also a good grade of roadsters. Mr. Cooper in his political affiliations is a Democrat.
