John Holt was born on the 11th of May,1808, and his wife was born on the 10th of October, 1807. they were the parents of thirteen children. John Holt was a son of Evan and Chanty Holt, the latter whom were the great grandparents of him to whom this sketch id dedicated, the respective dates of their births being June 9, 1764 and September 14,1764, John Holt, grandfather of the subject of this reveiw, was a pioneer in Chester Township, Morrow County, and he was a farmer by occupation, having reclaimed a fine farm from the virgin wilderness. Evan Holt became the father of four children, two of whom are living in 1911, Frank Holt, the immediate subject of this reveiw; and Emma, who is the wife of Harry Fleming, of Delaware County,

Frank Holt was a child of but two years of age at the time of his parent's removal from Illinois to Delaware County, Ohio, where he was reared on a farm and where he attend the public schools until he had ayyained to the age of eighteen years. At that time he left home and began to work in a machine shop at Delaware,Ohio,where he was employed by the day and where he continued to be employed for some three years during which time he saved about four hundred and fifty dollars. In 1890 he rented a farm in Morrow County, where he cared for his aged father,assisted by sister,Emma,until his death, which occurred November 4,1904, there after he entered into a partner ship alliance with Orson A. Lee in the agricultural line of enterprise, in which they built up a fine business and cleared considerable money. In April, 1901, Mr. Ho;t again turned his energies to farming and in that year purchased the fine estate of sixty-six and two-thirds acres of land on which he now resides. This is one of the best improved farms in Peru Township, and in connection with diversified agriculture Mr. Holt is deeply interested in the raising and marketing of high grade stock, his specialties being cattle and sheep.
In 1897 was solemnized the marriage of Mr.Holt and Miss Effie Adams, who was born in Delaware County on the 25th of August 1873, a daughter of Augustus Adams.

Boyd, Parmer Choe {I0417} (b. 20 JUN 1872, d. 12 JUL 1958)
Note: Hardin Co.History Book, Kenton,OH.
Abraham Deny and Ida Kate (Sullivan) Boyd had one son Parmer Choe Boyd born in Flint,Ohio,Jan 20,1872.
On May 30,1900 Parmer Boyd married Elsie Mae Adams. The daughter of Augustus and Ophelia Adams.Elsie was born in galena,Ohio,Feb 10,1875.
Before leaving that community Parmer joined the Odd Fellow Lodge in Worthington,Ohio in 1891 and remained a member there, receiving a 50 year membership pin from that lodge in 1943.
To Parmer and Elsie Boyd were born two sons,Kenneth Welford born in Delaware,Ohio December 01,1906 and Pearl Afton bornin Berlin Township in Delaware Co.,October 4,1912.
Due to the consolidation of the schools at that time 1914 Kenneth had to ride in a horse drawn schoolbus to Cheshire, Ohio, which was 7 miles.
Parmer and Elsie decided at that time their sons would never ride a horse drawn school bus. A motor driven school bus was unheard of at that time.
The Boyd's sold their farm in Delaware County and came to Mt.Victory,Ohio in March 1916, taking up residence on W. Taylor St.
After taking up residence here Elsie took an active part in the Disciple Church and the Ladies Aid Society of that church. She joined the Disciple Church with Clifford Knepper officiating. The baptismal services for all new members of that organization was conducted in the summer months at Allen's pool which is across the road from the Ridgeway Cemetery. To this date 1921 the Disciple Church, due to finances had not installed the baptistery.
During the following three years Parmer operated the tile mill which was located back of their residence along the Con Rail railroad. At the time he could make enough tile to supply the community in about four to five weeks. The only method of ditching was a spade, shovel and a ditch grader. A ditching machine was unheard of in the nineteen twenties.
At the end of this three year period he decided to buy the title from other tile plants. For awhile he bought tile from a plant in Morral,Ohio, and then purchased tile from a plant in Findlay,Ohio and sold their tile shipped by rail on what is now the Con Rail system and by truck also to Mt.Victory. Selling tile and farming was his occupation until retirement. Parmer Boyd was laid to rest July 15,1958. Elsie Boyd was laid to rest Aug.27,1969.
Kenneth and Pearl attended the Mt.Victory school and Kenneth graduated from that school in 1925 and Pearl graduated with the class of 1931.
Kenneth took up the trade of baking and continued in that work until 1942, when World War II had its call for service in that war.
Before entering the service of the armed forces, and while working in a bakery in Richwood,Ohio, Kenneth joined the Masonic Lodge in that city,February 1930,#303 Mt.Carmel Lodge. He is still a member of that Lodge 1982 and received a 50 year membership pin from that lodge in 1980.
After World War II, 1945 Kenneth continued working in bakeries and due to the trucking industry which had gained in that industry, the local bakeries were forced out of business. Kenneth had to seek other employment and started working for Motor Products in Marion,Ohio. That plant closed in a few years and was taken over by Whirlpool. Eaton built a plant just west of Whirlpool in 1953 and 1954, Kenneth worked there until his retirement in 1972.

Note: Sylvia Ann Ellinwood
Eldest daughter of Gilbert and Rebecca Ellinwood was born February 8, 1886, and died February 5, 1908, aged 21 years, 11 months, 27 days; leaving father, mother, two brothers and two sisters, together with a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn her early decease. Sylvia was an amiable dispostion, making friends of all with whom she came in contact with and those who knew her best, loved her most.She was converted and placed her membership with the Advent Church may 12, 1907, and has led an exemplary christian life, and was an energentic and conscientious worker in the church and sunday school, always willing to do whatever she deemed right to advance the cause of christianity and help others around her. She has not been without one discouragement, however,
which was failing health, yet she was uncomplaining and bore it all with true christian fortitude.
On january 27, she was taken with pnemonia which later developed into peritonitis, and although everything was done that willing hands directed by medical knowledge, could do, death conquered, and at four o'clock Wednesday morning, february 5th, the light of her life went out, closing up the volume of her short but useful life. How much she will be missed in the home circle, and also in the church and Sunday school, as well as among her personal friends. We have scarely yet begun to realize, but in this dark hour of bereavement , we have the satisfaction of beleiving that she had "chosen that better part" and therefore "we sorrow not, even as others who have no hope", For when the savior shall come together, his jewells we beleive that she will be among those who shall hear the welcome plaudit, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joys of the Lord."
Funeral services were held at the A.C. Church, Claibourne, friday afternoon, conducted by her pastor Elder w.O. Williams, ans attended by a large audience of sorrowing relatives and friends, after which the body was alaid to rest in Claibourne cemetery.

Noxon, Montana
by Mona Leeson Vanek
Uncle Howard and Aunt Hazel Ellinwood moved to Montana before their children wer born and here several years ago one daughter visited out there and she says the old homestead is still there.All of their daughters were born around Noxon, Montana.
There was a book put out about Noxon, Montana and it it ones paragraph reads;
Mrs. Ellinwood recalled crossing the ferry at Noxon. Smead's ferry,by 1912, was no longer there."You crossed the tracks in Noxon near a depot to the river,turned east a short distance and got on the ferry".
On the north shore of the river,"You hit the Lewis and Clark trail,the old Kootenai Indian trail, and went west.on it. Lewis and Clark's cabin was still there."(The cabin was probably a fur trappers trading station about a mile west of the ferry landing on the north side of the river where a small creek flowed in, recalled by another settler to be there in very early years.)
Howard had told me that we would live on a county road on Bull Run(river). We hit his trail.It was pretty rocky. After we had traveled quite a distance I asked him when we would hit the county road.
"Why, this is it,he replied."
The newly weds moved into the lttile log Horse Thief Ranger Station(which was most likely a building left from the great Northern Tote Road Days) while they built on their homestaed sixteen miles from the Noxon ferry. Ellinwood built a water wheel from poles and lumber and powered machinery to cut lumber. Then he built a log barn, root cellar, a chicken house and began clearing six acres of land. Six foot high slats were nailed to thin rails, fencing deer out of the garden plot hand spaded in the rich virgin soil. It was close enough to Bull River to bucket water to the beans, corn.spuds,lettuce and other vegatables that grew in the mild summer climate.
