John C. Dye is one of the pioneers of Miami Co. He was born in Greene Co., Penn., Oct. 16, 1807 and accompanied his father to Miami Co. in 1810 at 3 years of age. The family settled in Elizabeth Township, where his father entered a section of rich farming land and spent the remainder of his days. His mother's maiden name was Elizabeth Clyne, a native also of Pennsylvania, and she had fourteen children, ten of whom lived to mature age.
John resided on the home farm until he was 23 years of age, when he began life for himself as a farmer. He was married May 24, 1830, to Elizabeth Green, daughter of George W. Green, his wife being a native of Miami Co. She died March 30, 1879. They had eleven children, four of whom have died, there remaining the following: Jane, Benjamin H., Joseph G., Sidney, Elizabeth, Eleanor and William G.
Mr. Dye followed farming ever since his marriage, and also learned the trade of a miller. His farm increased to 300 acres, and he there resided until he removed to Troy in March, 1880, having disposed of his land. Politically, Mr. Dye is a Republican, and has always been a prominent worker in the party's ranks in his township. He served as Justice of the Peace for nine years in Elizabeth Township. He has been a member of the Baptist denomination for over fifteen years.
He now expects to spend the remainder of his ripe old age in ease and comfort in Troy, surrounded by his children and the comforts of a life well spent, a duty well performed and a promise of the future happiness that awaits the humble Christian man.
