 AVID REPLOGLE, deceased, was a resident of this county for over thirty-seven years, during which time he identified himself largely with its agricultural interests, and built up a good home on section 33, in Charleston Township. This consisted of 240 acres of land, which he improved and cultivated with marked success, and where his death took place, Jan. 17, 1878. Mr. Replogle was born in Rockbridge County, Va., April 19, 1806, and remained a resident there until reaching his majority. He then migrated to Ross County, Ohio, where not long afterward he was united in marriage with Miss Eliza Beckham, who was a native of that county, and born in about 1812.Our subject and wife afterward sought the farther West, and coming to this county, in August, 1841, permanently located and remained the balance of their lives. Mrs. Eliza Replogle, after becoming the mother of four children, departed this life at the old homestead in Charleston Township in 1845. One child afterward died when about two months old. Elizabeth is the wife of Daniel T. Fields, of Charleston Township; Rose Ann married Peter G. Redman, and is a resident of Holt County, Mo.; Matthias is the youngest, a sketch of whom appears on this page. The second wife of David Replogle was formerly Miss Maria White, who became the mother of three children: Loisa, who married John C. Redwine; Phebe E., the wife of J. Nathan Nees, and Margaret, the wife of Nathan Bales. She is still living, making her home in Shelby County. David Replogle in early manhood belonged to the old Whig party, but upon its abandonment he identified himself with the Republicans, with whom he remained the balance of his life. He was a quiet and unobtrusive citizen, attending strictly to his own concerns, and performing the duties of life in a worthy and creditable manner. |
