Presley, with his little family, crossed the river

colony of

Springboro

was augmented by

the arn^TO^alter Scott

Wilkerson

whose

activities

had been

centered in Warren county

for some years and whose career

is

expressive

of the

possibilities

of country life

when

directed by a well trained

mind

an earnest

purpose and a

keen

appreciation

of its benefits and prerogatives.

Mr.

\Vilkerson

repi^sents a widely

known

family

in this

part of the

Miami

valley and one

whose members

have

been men

of worth

and reliability in the various occupations and

callings

of life. He

was

born

on

a

farm

in

Washington

township Warren county

O.

in 1855

a

son of James H. and Sarah

A Wilkerson. The

family

has

been represented

in

Warren

county

since

the year

1802

when

the

paternal grandfather

of

Mr. Wilkerson John Wilkerson drove

overland with

his

family

from

his native

place

of Boonsboro

Ky.

and

settled in the eastern part of the county. There he became

a farmer ofsorne pretensions accumulating a large tract of land and

rounded out his career in the pursuits of agriculture. He was one

of

the

real

pioneers

of his

locality

and

a

member

of the

sturdy crew

who assisted jn the original development of various parts of the

great and fertile valley of the Miami. On the pioneer farm settled

by his father during the early days James H. Wilkerson was born

in 1816

He

was

brought

up in

the midst of pioneer surroundings

and early learned the meaning of hard work and the value of indus

try and

when he

came

to

his majority was well trained

in body

and mind to carry on the same kind of labor to which his father

had devoted his

life.

His

career

was spent entirely in the tilling

of the soil and his industry and able management of his affairs

enabled

him

to

become

a leading

farmer

of his

locality.

He died

in June

1905

highly respected in the locality

and Mrs.

Wilkerson

also a native of M^arren county born in 1820 passed away durinc^

the

same

year. Walter Scott Wilkerson grew up on his father s

farm

and

received

his

education in the

public

schools of

Washing

ton township. In 1883 he left the parental roof and went to Macou-

pin county

111

where he

engaged

in farming on his own

account

and meeting with some success

remained

in that locality until 1902.

In that year

he returned

to the

county

of

his birth

and

bought

a

farm

near

Springboro. on

which he continued to

carry on opera

tions until the fall of

1917.

At that time he disposed of his interests

and removed to Springboro where he has since lived in comfortable

retirement. Mr. Wilkinson represents the substantial and reliable

element of the town county and region and his life affords an ex

ample of moderation thrift and public spiritedness. He is a direc

tor of the Farmers Bank of Springboro

and

in business

and

financial

circles his nartie

is synonymous with

integrity and absolute fidelity.

He is

a

Republican

but politics

has had

but an indifferent

part

in

his

life. In 1887 Mr. Wilkerson

was married

to

Miss Annie

J. iT^Wills, whose agricultural successes in Clear Creek

town

ship entitle him to a place among the leading farmers of Warren

county, comes of one of the old families of this county, whose mem

bers have always been held in high esteemby their associates. J. B.

Wills was born in Clear Creek township, in 1850, a son of David

and Sarah (Speight) Wills, and grandson of James Wills. _David

AVills was born and r ea red in Warren county

and

his wife was

a native of Pennsylvania. During his boyhood, J. B.Wills attended

the

local schools of his distr ict,

and those

of Utica Ohio,

and

at

the

same time learned the rudiments of farming. When he attained

his majority, he began farming on his own account, and now owns

a

finely

developed farm

in

his

native township,

where

he

carries

on general farming and raises a good

grade

of stock. In 1870 oc

curred the marriage ofMr. Wills and Miss Mary F. Crane, a daugh

ter of Joseph and

Rebecca Crane.

Mr. and Mrs. Wills

have four

children, namely: Mattie

M..

David Lester, Joseph Walter and

Harley E. Politically Mr. Wills is a Republican, and he has

served

as township trustee for several years, to the entire satisfaction of

his constituents. Thoroughly imbued with the welfare of his home

town Mr.

Wills

is building, at his own expense, a community house

40 by 70 feet to cost about 5,000. The beliefs of the Universalists

accord

with his own, and he is a supporter of that

organization

in

his neighborhood. A man of high principles, he has endeavored to

live up to them, and to give to everyone the same square deal he

asks from them, and his standing is deservedly high.

Jacob C. Wilson. Both business affairs and the agricultural

industry have received impetus in Warren county through the op

erations and activities of Jacob C. Wilson, the proprietor^ of 125

acres of well-improved land in Union township and one of his com

munity s most energetic and enterprising citizens. Mr. Wilson was

born in 1876, in Newcastle county, Del., a son of William an d

Anna

(Chandler) Wilson, and a grandson of James Wilson, the patentee

of an improved powder keg. In

1880

James Wilson, with his own

family and that of his son, William, came to Ohio and settled at

South Lebanon, where father and son engaged in the manufacture

ofthis product. They built up a goodbusiness and continuedthere

in all their lives, William Wilson surviving

his_

father some years

and passing away in January,

1911.

The business is still being

conducted in the family name, the proprietor being John W. Wilson,

an uncle of Jacob C. Wilson, at Kings Mills. Jacob C. Wilson was

but four years of age when brought to Ohio, and here received his

education in the public schools. As a lad he worked in the factory

of his father, in manufacturing powder kegs, and in connection with

this enterprise founded and built up a good general store business,

of which he was the proprietor for several

3 ears. Eventuall}^

he

disposed of his interest in the latter and invested his capital in a

canning business. While the direction of this plant is in other

hands, and the

actual

operation of the

business
