JOSEPH ELY, farmer; P. O. Franklin; son of James and Hannah (Craig) Ely, was born on the farm where he now lives, Feb. 20, 1836. His grandparents, Joseph and Catherine Ely, came here in 1802 and bought over 300 acres of land. They had four sons and one daughter; their second son was James, the father of our subject; he was born in New Jersey in 1801, and the following year they removed to Jersey Settlement, Franklin Township. James was married to Miss Hannah Craig; this union was blessed by two sons and three daughters, four of whom are still living, Joseph being the eldest. He was married, in 1859, to Sarah, daughter of Theodore and Rachael Marshall, born in Montgomery Co., Ohio, in 1842. They have four children—Hannah, Hattie, Isadora and Inez. Mr. Ely has 92 1/2 acres of the old homestead, which he bought of his father, nearly all of,, it in a high state of cultivation. He is a member of the Old-School Baptist Church. |
