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

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. |
