Daniel O. Addis

Daniel O. Addis, son of S. V. and Elizabeth Ann Addis, was born in New Jersey, in 1839. In his twelfth year he came with parents to Stark county and remained with them until his twenty-third year. In his twenty-fourth year he married Miss Nancy M., daughter of Sallus and Elizabeth Caskey, who was born in Ohio in 1843. In 1860 her parents came to Stark county, remaining here a few years when they sold their property and removed to Missouri, where they still reside. Her grandfather, a native of Ohio, enlisted to serve in the war of 1812. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Addis began farming in West Jersey township. Two years later they purchased a farm on section 10, where they still reside. Their union has been blessed by seven children, five of whom still live: Franklin V., William A., Laura E. (deceased), Grace E. (deceased), Florence O., Eva B. and Pearl H. Mr. and Mrs. Addis are both respected members of the M. E. church, and are interested in all works of benevolence. They have been hard workers, and, as a reward of their labors, now own 340 acres of the choicest land, and one of the finest farm residences in Stark county. Mr. Addis has never voted any but the Republican ticket.
