STEPHEN B. PROBASCO (deceased) was born in Warren Co., Ohio, May 27, 1811; his parents, Abraham and Jane (Barkalow) Probasco, were natives of New Jersey, of Dutch descent; they emigrated to Warren County in 1810, and settled near the town of Mason, where they resided until 1823, when they moved to a farm adjoining Shakertown. On the death of his wife, in 1844, he moved with his son to near Monroe, Ohio, where he died in 1860. Our subject received his education in the subscription schools of his day, and early commenced the work on a farm, at which he continued until his death, which occurred July 9, 1875. He was married, Oct. 16, 1834, to Miss Dorcas Boyd, of Butler Co., Ohio, by whom he had eight children, viz., Martha J., now the wife of James I. Benham; Nathan, deceased; Elizabeth A., wife of Clem Beachey; Lydia E., wife of Thomas B. Hutchinson; Abraham; Eliza, wife of Lewis Iorns; Mary F., wife of John Hufford; and Emma Kate, wife of J. A.

Mr. Probasco was a hard-working, ambitious farmer, and, at the time of his death, had acquired a fine farm of 200 acres of rich, arable, well-improved land. He left a fine property, upon the income of which his widow now supports herself in ease and comfort, having retired from the farm and taken up her residence in Lebanon.
