Abram D. Stotts was born in Belmont County,
Ohio in 1822, and in 1823 he came with his parents to Huron county, locating
in Ripley township. The absence of schools rendered our subject's
earlier education very meager, but in youth, by close study after hours
of toil in the forest, he acquired a knowledge of the common brances much
in advance of the average. In 1850, Mr. Stotts married Miss
Maryetta Boughton, of Fitchville Township, in whose honor the village of Boughtonville was named. Although devoting his attention almost exclusively to agriculture, Mr. Stotts has, since 1879, been the president of the Huron County Farmer's Insurance Company. He is a member and a liberal supporter of the Fairfield Baptist Church. |
