Mr. Esterly, continued to work this. place the remainder of his life, and made a fine property of it. He was a self-trade man, having begun life with nothing but his own energy and ambition, though, after he had been fairly started on the road to prosperity, he received a little help in the shape of $200, which had been left to him. to.

JOHN W. CLEMENS, who is now living retired on his farm in Portage township, is a native of Ohio, born March 18, 1844, in Loudon township, Seneca county, a son of Daniel Clemens.
Daniel Clemens came to Ohio when a young man, from western Pennsylvania. He entered land in the woods of Seneca county, where he married Hannah Kizer, and there lived for some years, coming with his family to Wood county when our subject was a mere child. He had bought eighty acres of new land in Section 26, Portage township, near Six Points, and as there was no house on this place, the family lived with a neighbor until a board shanty was erected: At this time the old corduroy road was the only one leading to Six Points, and the entire country was sparsely settled and unimproved. Mr. Clemens commenced at once to clear his land, also following his trade of shoemaker, which he worked at evenings on a bench in the corner of their shanty. In those days each customer would bring his own leather, and the work was usually paid for in farm labor or provisions. Mr. and Mrs. Clemens were the parents of fourteen children, four sons and ten daughters, all of whom lived to maturity but Charles, who died in infancy, and only three of the others are now deceased-Jacob, Charles and Delilah. The parents both lived to advanced ages, dying when seventy and seventy-two years old, respectively, and both are buried in Mt. Zion Church cemetery.
Our subject received such advantages for education as the schools of his boyhood days afforded, and was reared by his father to agriculture. He also worked away from home, husking corn and doing other farm work, and for a time was engaged in hauling lumber to Fostoria, during the days when fine poplar brought only $8 per thousand. On October 12, 1864, he enlisted at Cincinnati, Ohio, in Company B, 55th O. V. I., Capt. H. Osborn, joining his regiment at Atlanta without any drilling whatever. Being taken sick here, he was returned to Cumberland Hospital, where he was confined ten or twelve days, afterward serving in Thomas' Division, and then starting for Savannah by way of New York. On the way he was captured by the enemy, who had torn up the railroad; but was shortly afterward paroled and went on to New York, where he was seized with inflammatory rheumatism, and lay in a hospital one month. He rejoined his regiment at Goldsboro, N. C., followed the campaign to the close of the war, participated in the Grand Review at Washington, D. C., and on July 11, 1865, was mustered out at Louisville, Ky., being honorably discharged at Cleveland, Ohio.
On his return from the army our subject engaged in teaming and farming for some time. On March 12, 1868, he was united in marriage, in Portage township, with Miss Elizabeth Palmerton, who was born February 13, 1852, in Marion, Ohio, daughter of Lyman and Nancy (Leslie) Palmerton, who came from New York to Marion county, Ohio, and thence to Wood county. Lyman Palmerton died in 1854, leaving a widow and twelve children, and, though he left them eighty acres of land, it was little more than a swamp and a forest, and at that time would not have yielded enough for them to live on. But the brave mother worked earnestly and faithfully to keep her large family, and supported them in comfort until they were able to take care of themselves, doing all kinds of hard labor, cutting corn, shearing sheep, working on the farm, sewing and spinning. She was a noble Christian woman, and her children revere the memory of a devoted, loving mother, who spared neither energy nor pains to rear her family in industry and comfort. She was buried in Sugar Grove cemetery, where Mr. Palmerton's remains also rest. At the time of his death there were no horses to take him to his grave, and oxen were used.
At the time of his marriage our subject was the owner of a horse and buggy, and he traded the buggy for another horse, afterward trading the team for the land on which he now lives. At first he did his farm work with a yoke of oxen, but by hard work and good management he prospered, and was able to provide himself with implements and horses, and to improve his farm in many ways. The forty acres of land in Section 25 which he still owns and on which he lives, areWOOD COUNTY, OHIO. -887
highly improved, and he made a most comfortable home out of what was once a wilderness. Since 1891 he has lived comparatively retired, ill health compelling him to abandon active farm work, but he well deserves the rest he is now enjoying, having wasted no time in his younger days. He has resided on this farm with the exception of ten months, when he lived on rented land in Portage township.
Mr. and Mrs. Clemens have had five children, as follows: Alonzo F., born January 19, 1869, who is a farmer and teamster of Portage township; Nancy J., born September 21, 1872, now Mrs. Henry McEwen, of Portage township; Rosa M., born September 12, 1875, now Mrs. Frank Shaffer, of Portage township; Eva M., born October 25, 1881, and Lillie D., born June 1, 1888. Mr. Clemens, like his father before him, is a stanch Republican in political sentiment. Socially he is a member of Randall Post No. 53, G. A. R., Freeport, Ohio.

DAVID GUNDER, who, for the past twenty years, has made his home in Portage township, is a native of Pennsylvania, born December 22, 1838, in Dauphin county, son of Isaac and Susan (Heller) Gunder, who were farming people of Dutch and Scotch ancestry.
The parents of our subject removed from Dauphin county to Franklin county, Penn., and in 1849 came to Ohio, locating first in Crawford county; where Mrs. Gunder's parents lived. In the spring of 1850 they settled in Perry township, Wood county, where Gunder had purchased eighty acres of land, in its primitive condition, and there they made a permanent home. He became prosperous, but during his later years was unfortunate in losing his property through going bail for friends, and our subject provided a comfortable home for his parents during their declining years. They now rest in the cemetery at West Millgrove. They reared a large family, of whom, Sarah married Joshua Slorp, and died in Crawford county, Ohio; Eliza, who is unmarried, is living in Perrysburg; Daniel is a resident of East Tennessee; Catherine is the wife of Dennis Shinew, of Portage; Isaac lives in Michigan; David is the subject of these lines: John lives in Wood county; Solomon became a member of the 40th O. V. I. and was killed at the battle of Missionary Ridge; Rebecca died at the age of seventeen years; Susan is the wife of Mel Warren, of Richland county, Ohio; Samuel is a resident of West Millgrove, Ohio: Benjamin lives in Perrysburg.
Our subject was about twelve years old when the family settled in Wood county, and he attended school only one winter here. In addition to the ordinary disadvantages which the youth of that day experienced in acquiring even an ordinary education, he was hampered by defective eyesight, and also suffered from the fever and, ague, so common in this section when the region was little more than a swamp. When fifteen years old he commenced to work for other farmers, and he also engaged in different lines of work, being employed in a shingle mill for a time working with the surveying corps on the Dayton & Michigan railway, between Perrysburg & Toledo, and was also employed at grading.
In March, 1859, he was married, in Montgomery township, Wood county, to *****Miss Elizabeth Clemens,***** who was born in Loudon township, Seneca county, daughter of Daniel Clemens, a farmer. The young couple lived with his parents for a short time and after that lived on rented land in various places in Perry township, Wood county, and in Jackson township, Seneca county, in the latter place renting one farm of Dr. R. C. Caples, of Fostoria, Ohio. for twelve years. In February 1875, Mr. Gunder removed his family to their present home in Portage township, Wood county, which comprises eighty acres of good land in Section 24, but which at that time was in its primitive condition, not even a building standing on the place. But since he has conducted the place it has changed materially, buildings and fences have been erected, and he has made a fine home for himself and family by incessant hard work. He is a self-made man in the strictest sense of the word, and is respected by all who know him for his industry and integrity. Mr Gunder has witnessed the transformation of this entire section of Ohio, for when they came here the country was still a forest, and his father's family made the entire trip from Pennsylvania to Crawford county, Ohio, and from Crawford county to Wood county, in a large covered wagon drawn by four horses.
Mr. and Mrs. Gunder are the parents of two children--John, who is a carpenter, and Harry S., both living at home. Our subject and his wife, are both members of the U. B. Church, and in politics he is a stanch Democrat. He is a regular voter, but aside from that takes no active part in public affairs.
