Elmer Manchester
Elmer Manchester, one of the most successful and progressive farmers of Perry township, Lake County, Ohio, began his life with little capital save his energy and resolute will, and that he has succeeded is due solely to his own well directed efforts.
Mr. Manchester was born in Otsego County, New York, December 16, 1843. His father, also a native of Otsego county, was born in 1812, son of Leonard Manchester, a native of Dutchess county, that state. Grandfather Leonard Manchester was a farmer and an extensive dealer in horses. When well advanced in years he came to Ohio, and died here in Lake County, at the age of eighty, Grandmother Manchester was before her marriage Miss Jones. Her father was soldier in the Revolutionary War, under General La Fayette, and was such an admirer of that general that he determined to name his first child after him. When the child was born it proved to be a girl. However, it was named La Fayette, and went by the name of Fayette. Orsemus Manchester, also a farmer, came from New York to Ohio in 1854 and settled in Madison township, Lake county, where he cultivated a farm of seventy-five acres. In 1857 he moved to Perry Township, where he is still living, having reached the advanced age of eighty-one and still being quite active. He has been a man of strong constitution and a hard worker all his life. While in New York he improved two farms. Politically he is a Republican. His wife, nee Sarah Wickam, also a native of Otsego county, New York, died at the age of thirty-eight years. She was a
Methodist. They reared four children, namely: Heman J., a prominent citizen of this township; Elmer, the subject of this article; Lyman C.; and Estella A., now Mrs. Barber.
Elmer was twelve years old when he came to this county with his father, and here he was reared and has since been engaged in agricultural pursuits. The farm on which he now resides, and which comprises 110 acres of well improved land. he purchased in 1881. he also owns 100 acres, located a mile east of his home. His neat frame residence, three convenient farm buildings; his well cultivated fields, his fine vineyard of nine acres in bearing grapes-all these are
indicative of the thrift and prosperity which has attended him. He is engaged in general farming and stock raising, keeping a large number of sheep.
Mr. Manchester was married in September, 1868, to Miss Hattie Stone, who is a native of New York, and who came to this county in 1864. They have two children, Frank E. and Charles O.
During the war Mr. Manchester served as ember of Company E., One hundred and seventy-first Ohio Volunteer Infantry, from May 1864, until August of that year, when he was honorably discharged, having been on guard duty. He is a
member of O. H. Haskell Post, No. 462, G. A. R., at Perry, and his political views are in harmony with the principles advocated by the Republican Party.
