| BIOGRAPHY |
|
John Milton Roney was the son of James & Rachael Roney, both
natives of Chester Co., Penn. His parents came to the west
in April, 1834, and settled near Dublin, Franklin County on the
Scioto River on a farm where they both died. They raised a
family of eight children, of whom John M, was the youngest, and
was born August 27, 1836. He lived at home until his
parents' death, which occurred when he was about 6 years of
age. He was then taken to Marysville and lived at the home
of Mitchell Robinson until he was 12 years of age. He was
devoted to study and when 17 years of age began teaching
district school. He followed this occupation for several
years, and then after making a journey west, he returned and was
married December 22, 1857 to Miss Eliza M., daughter of Jesse
Gill of Union County. After his marriage he purchased a
farm in Mill Creek Township, Union County on which he resided 13
years and then settled on a farm in Dover Township in 1871,
where he remained until he removed to the home in Ostrander,
where he died June 14, 1901, in the 65th year of his age.
He was prominently associated with the leading interest of both
Union and Delaware counties, having served several years as
justice of the Peace, and as a member of the Agricultural Boards
of both counties.
He united with the Presbyterian Church of Marysville in 1859,
and when he moved to Ostrander, changed his membership to the
Presbyterian Church there, and was elected a ruling Elder,
which office he held until his death. He was also a
Trustee of Marion Presbytery, and a delegate to the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church which met in Saratoga, N.Y.
in 1874. He held firm to the old faith of his fathers
until the end.
He leaves his wife and sons, James L. and Albert V. both of
Middletown, Ohio, and daughter, Jane G. who graduated at the
Columbus Medical College at the last Commencement. On
account of failing health, he had expected to move to Middletown
in a few days, to be near his children.... The
funeral was held on Sabbath morning the 16th at the Presbyterian
Church, Ostrander conducted by the pastor, Rev. James B. Warren,
assisted by Rev. A. C. Crist of Delaware and the pastors of the
U.B. and Baptist churches. He was an honored member of the
IOOF&K of P. orders, both of which were present at the
funeral services. The remains were taken to Oak Dale
Cemetery at Marysville for burial. (28) |
