COUNTY CITIZENS (from History of Henry County, Ohio, by W. W. Campbell, 1905)
Asa BABCOCK
Asa BABCOCK, a retired farmer living in Malinta, Ohio, was born in Franklin Co., Ohio, on July 28, 1844, the son of Jacob and Nancy (WILCOX) BABCOCK, both natives of New York State. The paternal grandfather, also named Jacob, came to Franklin County, Ohio, in an early day and entered government land where now stands the city of Columbus. At the time of his death, in 1883, he lacked but two days of being one hundred years old. The subject’s father was but three years old when brought to Ohio and remained at home until 21 years old. He then married and removed to Hancock County in 1854, buying a farm where he made his home the remainder of his life, his death occurring in 1901, his wife also dying on July 28, that same year. They had seven children, James, Sarah, Henry, Asa, Lucinda, Mary and Susan.
Asa Babcock was 12 years old when he accompanied his mother to Hancock County, and remained there until, at the age of 17, he enlisted in Company A, 21st Ohio Regt, with which he served faithfully until mustered out, July 28,1865. He took part in the following battles: Stone River, Chickamauga, Buzzard Roost, Pumpkin Vine Creek, Lost Mountain, Atlanta, Peach Tree Creek (where Gen. McPherson was killed), fall of Atlanta, Jonesboro, Bentonville, Savannah, and then marches from Raleigh to Washington. At the battle of Stone River he was three times wounded, having his thumb shot off and receiving flesh wounds in shoulder and leg. He was taken to the hospital at Nashville, where he remained from January 2 to August, 1863, returning then to his regiment. At the battle of Lost Mountain he was shot in the left side and had one rib broken, being confined in the field hospital 30 days. In the rear of Atlanta he was struck in the back by a piece of shell, being confined in the hospital three months. In 1862 he was taken prisoner near Nashville, but was paroled the following day.
At the conclusion of his military service he returned to the home farm. In 1872 Mr. Babcock came to Monroe Twp., Henry County, and bought forty acres of wild land, which he later sold and then bought the splendid farm on which he successfully carried on agricultural pursuits until 1903, when he removed to his pleasant home in Malinta and is now enjoying the rest which he has so richly earned.
In November, 1867, Mr. Babcock married Miss Mary Ann SEMLER, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1842 and who died September 18,1904. Her parents were Peter and Catharine (Leonard) SEMLER, natives also of Pennsylvania, to whom were born seven children, George, Mary Ann, John, Catharine, Jerry, Anna and Peter. To the subject and wife were born eleven children, namely: Jacob, of Monroe township; Anna, the wife of William POATH, of Lorain, Ohio; John operates the home farm; Elnora is the wife of Andrew CARL, of Monroe township; Jesse, of Ellenwood, Pennsylvania; Vernelia is the wife of Guy WELLS, of Williams county, this state; Nettie is the wife of Bert ORDAWAY, of Monroe township; Cora, the wife of Bert LATTIE, of Malinta; Aaron, of Lorain, Ohio; and Reuben, also of Lorain. In politics Mr.
Babcock is a Republican and served two consecutive terms as trustee of Monroe Township. Fraternally he is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Grand Army of the Republic and the Grange.
Henry BADEN
HENRY BADEN, well known as the efficient superintendent of the system of grain elevators at Napoleon, Hamler, Galup, Gerald, Holgate, Prentice and McComb, all the property of Z. H. Travis, of Toledo, was born in the province of Hanover, Germany, on April 9, 1859, and is the son of Conrad and Catherine (Mahnke) Baden. His mother died in her native land, and in May, 1887, the father came to America, making his home with the subject until his death, Mary 13, 1902. These parents had four children, Henry, Frederick, Annie and Herman. Henry Baden came to the United States in 1874, locating first in Freedom township, Henry county, Ohio, where he was engaged in farming for two years. He then came to Holgate and began working for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad as section boss, continuing in this capacity for twelve years. As an evidence of his efficiency, the following letters are in his possession:
BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD.
General Manager’s Office, Baltimore, Maryland
Henry Baden, Esq., Section Foreman.
Dear Sir:
I take pleasure in enclosing herewith check for twenty-five dollars, being the premium awarded you by the committee of inspection, and approved by the president, for the best average section of track on the Chicago division for the year 1886.
Very truly yours, B. DUNHAM, Gen’l Mgr.
BALIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD Co.
Chicago Division, Garrett, Indiana
Henry Baden, Esq., Section Foreman
Dear Sir:
I enclose you herewith, with pleasure, check in your favor for premium for the best average section of track on the Chicago division for the year 1886, together with letter from the general manager on subject. Please acknowledge receipt.
Yours truly, F. H. BRITTON, Supt.
After leaving the railroad service, Mr. Baden entered the employ of Mr. Travis, with whom he has since remained. He was first placed in charge of the Hamler elevator, but from time to time he was given charge of additional elevators until, as mentioned before, he now has charge of the entire system. He has also charge of the Lilbourn Lumber Yard, at Lilbourn, Missouri, a business conducted by Herman Baden and Mr. Travis, controlling two thousand seven hundred acres of timber land and the manufacture of all kinds of hardwood products. Mr. Baden owns thirty acres of good land near Hamler, which he rents. He also is the owner of the largest yard of high-bred poultry in this section, in which he takes a most commendable. pride. Mr. Baden married Miss Eliza Wildung, who was born in Hanover, Germany, and came to the United States in 1874, they being married in this country. They are the parents of seven children, Henry, Marie, George, Amelia, Adolph, Hilda and Louetta. The family are members of the Lutheran church.
Frederick BOSTLEMAN
FREDERICK BOSTLEMAN, a substantial citizen of Flat Rock township, is a native of Hanover, Germany, where he was born on the 13th of September, 1835, the son of Cord and Mary (Korte) Bostleman, who were farming folk and both died in Germany. They had six children, John, Henry, Heinrich, Cord. Catherine, and Frederick. The latter lived in his native land until thirty-four years old, serving two and a half years in the German army, and came to Henry county, Ohio, in 1869. At the age of twenty-four he was married to Miss Sophia Bruner, who died about one year afterwards. His second marriage was to Catherine Ottem, who came to America with the subject and who died in Harrison township, Henry county, Ohio, in 1874. To this union were born four children, Fred, Anna, Mary and Harmon. Mr., Bostleman’s third marriage was to Miss Mary Colbe, also a native of Germany, and they have one child, Ida. Upon reaching this country the subject first settled in Freedom township, this county, and bought one hundred and sixty acres of land, but sold that a short time afterwards and for two years rented land in Harrison township. He then bought one hundred and twenty acres of wild swamp land in Flat Rock township, on which he diligently went to work and in the course of time made of this one of the model farms of the township.
Mr. Bostleman’s present wife bore the maiden name of Antoinette Myers, who was born in Louisiana in 1857, the daughter of Charles Myers, and they have had four children, John, Ella, deceased, Charles and Willie. The entire family are members of the Lutheran church. In national and state affairs Mr. Bostleman is a Democrat, but in local affairs is independent. He takes a commendable interest in the welfare of the community and is well liked by all who know him.
Fun Facts From the 1500s
England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. They would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and re-use the grave. When re-opening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the “graveyard shift”) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be “saved by the bell,” or was considered a “dead ringer.” [History is not boring when you read the internet! – ed. note.]
Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, “What the heck happened?”
From The History of Henry and Fulton County by Mason and Co., 1892
In the year 1830, according to the census of population then made, the county of Henry contained two hundred and sixty persons, young and old; in 1840, two thousand five hundred and three; in 1850, three thousand four hundred and thirty fout; in 1860, eight thousand nine hundred and one; in 1870, fourteen thousand and twenty eight; in 1880, twenty thousand five hundred and eighty five.
From these facts it is fair to assume that in the year 1820 there was not to exceed a dozen families within the borders of the county, and upon this basis, not more than fifty or sixty white inhabitants. Although Henry County was formed, and only formed, in the year 1820, there were not then living therein enough people to organize a township, and it was not until three years later, 1823, that the whole county was populous enough to be formed into one township, called Damascus. The county, it is true, was given an existence at the time named, and while conveyances of land may have recognized such an existence, the residents knew no county boundaries beyond their warrant or deed; they were residents and pioneers of the whole Maumee Valley, and as such will be mentioned so far as their names can be ascertained.
Index of German Scrapbook Translations Vol. 2
Several years ago a three-volume set of family scrapbooks was donated to our society. The items were cut from at least one German-language newspaper from this area, but not dated or otherwise identified. It is probable that most of the articles came Per Defiance Herold (1895-1920) and included items regarding families in western Henry Co. and in Twps. transferred to Defiance Co. Ken Thompson translated the German items for us. An index will be printed as space permits.

This map displays the allocations of lands through various grants of the part of the old Northwest Territory that became the state of Ohio. Ohio became the 17th state on March 1,1803. However, as the map indicates the occupation of lands west, northwest and north of the Ohio river were officially occupied several years earlier. The first of the 18 land grants in the area that is now Ohio was made in 1784; entitled Virginia Military Lands. These were awarded to Virginia soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
