HENRY STOUTENBOROUGH, farmer; P. O. Franklin; son of John and Jane (Schenck) Stoutenborough; was born in Lemon Township, Butler Co., Sept. 13, 1826. When 9 years of age, his parents removed to Franklin Township, this county, where he was reared to manhood; his educational advantages were limited to the common schools of the country, which then were not noted for their excellence. Mr. Stoutenborough's, father was a dealer in horses, taking them to Eastern markets, and, when our subject was 17, he made a trip with his father across the mountains; he also made a number of subsequent trips. He resided on a farm on Sec. 4 till March, 1867, when he located on his present farm, one mile south of Franklin, where he owns 138 acres of well-improved land; it is adorned with a very substantial three-story brick residence. Mr. Stoutenborough pursues the avocation of a general farmer and stock-raiser. Mr. Stoutenborough was married, in Monmouth Co., N. J., to Miss Willimpe Longstreet, a native of Monmouth Co., N. J., and a daughter of John and Elizabeth Longstreet; three children were given to bless this union; of these, two are living, viz., Catharine A., born Dec. 25, 1858; and John L., born Oct. 30, 1862; Jane E., the eldest, was born May 25, 1856, and died Jan. 1, 1880, near Dayton, Ohio; she was a lady of more than ordinary worth and intelligence, and a devoted Christian. Politically, Mr. Stoutenborough is Democratic. He ranks with the enterprising farmers of Franklin Township. |
