DANIEL BRININGER, retired farmer; P. O. Franklin; son of Andrew and Elizabeth (Young) Brininger; was born in Franklin Township July 15, 1818; he was reared on a farm and received a common-school education. His parents emigrated from Hagerstown, Md., in 1807, and bought over 500 acres of land south of the present village of Franklin, there being only three log houses in the village at that date. His father died in February, 1856; his mother in February, 1841. At their death, Daniel received 110 1/4 acres of the estate; he cleared about 75 acres and erected a fine house, barn and out-buildings. Mr. B. was married in Centerville, Washington Township, Montgomery Co., Ohio, Sept. 26, 1844, to Mary, daughter of Daniel B. and Susanna Fox, who were also old settlers; she was born near Centerville July 6, 1822. As they never had any children of their own, they took one to raise—Mary S. Johnson, of whom they thought as much as though she had been their own child. She was married to John H. Schenck, and has now five children, her oldest son, Daniel B., telegraph operator in the employ of the C.. C., C. & I. R. R. Co. In September, 1873, they sold their farm and the following April, they moved to Franklin to lead a retired life, the health of Mr. B. being very much impaired by overwork. He bought two lots on Center street size 125x400 feet, where he has erected a fine brick residence, at a cost of over $5,000. |
