See notes on his sister-in-law, Sarah E., who married his brother Henry. Rev. Joseph H. was "of Lancaster" in Dec 1877.
"Joseph Creighton farmed his place vicariously, devoting it to the commercial growth of apples and pears. He was a minister of the gospel, noted for his oratory throughout Ohio. Seldom, in his early years, or even in his middle life, was he on his farm. His duties, as Presiding Elder of a district, doubtless required all of his time. But in his later years he retired to his farm doubtless expecting to enjoy the quiet longed for by elderly people. He had a son, and by a second marriage, a daughter.", "THE VILLAGE.

1891 - article about the Ohio Conference held on Saturday where twenty protestant churches of Zanesville attended. "Rev. J. H. Creighton, of Lithopolis, an old veteran in church work and for many years a Methodist minister, made the address of the evening. Among other things the reverend gentleman said: Some time after this and after preaching at a number of places, I was recommended to the Ohio conference and appointed to the Johnstown circuit with William Porter as my collegue. We had great revivals. During the revival at Johnstown an infidel school teacher said nearly all the converts were women and children for whom this religion was best suited. The editor of the Newark Advocate heard this incidental remark and published it under the head of 'A Compliment to the Sex'. It was copied extensively until it got into the American Almanac and London Times. In those years it was a non-scripta rule that a young man should travel two years before getting married. I broke this rule and married Adelaide Frisbie. The case was to be brought up before conference and as I could not be present I withdrew my name. I then went to Newark and began teaching in the common schools. While teaching I preached more than any circuit preacher in the circuit. The conference met at Newark and presiding Elder J. M. Jamison formerly my enemy became my friend. I was received into this conference without opposition. Since then I have served in this conference as minister filling several charges".

OBIT: Lancaster, O., Oct. 6 -- After having served 50 years as a minister of the Gospel, the life work of Rev. Dr. J. H. Creinghton [sic] was closed by death Tuesday at midnight, at Lithopolis. he was 85 years old. Death was the result of infirmities. He has been gradually singing for six weeks and his passing away was not unexpected. Besides the aged widow, he leaves a son and a daughter, Rev. C. F. Creighton of Batavia, NJ, and Mrs. Charles Brossman of Columbus. Rev. Dr. Creighton was the second oldest member of the Ohio Methodist Episcopal conference in point of years and of service. The funeral of Dr. Creighton was held at that village today at 10 o'cloc. The services were conducted by Rev. W. E. Cherrington of Lancaster; Dr. A. H. Norcross, presiding elder of the Columbus district, and Rev. L. C. Sparks of Newark. Burial was made at Lithopolis. [The Newark Advocate, Newark, Ohio, Oct. 6, 1905]

[T34475]
NOTE: This individual's age differs greatly between census's, but it's the same individual. He starts out in the 1900 census as 16 and being born Sept. 1883. In 10 years (in the 1910 census) he's only 23 instead of 26. In this case, I would think the first census would be more accurate since he's younger and there would've been a bigger 'seen' difference between a child of 13 and 16. Then in 1918 his draft registration card shows him being born in Sept., but instead of 1883 it's now 1884. In 1920 he's again shown as being born about 1886, and by 1930 he's shown born about 1888 -- a good 5 years younger than his actual age as reported in earlier census records. There is a Homer Dennison in the SSDI that is most likely him. His card was issued in Ohio before 1951 and he died Oct. 1969 with the last known address as Orlando, Orange Co., FL. His date of birth in the SSDI is listed as 15 Sept 1887 -- four years younger than his first stated age in 1900. It would be interesting to see what birthdate was recorded for him in probate records!

"Contrary to the information passed to the present generation of Foors by others, there is NO EVIDENCE that John Fuhr, son of Johann Leonhart Fuhr, migrated to, or even visited, Bedford County, PA. Indeed, the facts given above clearly contradict this assertion.... Where John Foor (Fuhr) senior who settled in Bedford County came from, or who his ancestors were, remains a mystery. Information that he settled in Ray's Cove sometime around 1788 and that he was the father of twelve children has been passed to the present generation. One would assume, and someone has stated, that this information was taken from an old German Bible. If such a written account remains in existence it should be brought forward, notarized, and presented as crucial evidence. Otherwise, the precise account of John Foor's children, like information regarding the origin of John Foor himself, will remain as a missing portion of the Foor heritage". [The Pioneer, Quartly Newsletter of the Bedford County, PA Historical Society, Oct. 1992, Dr. W. Eugene Foor, V 18 #3]
From "History of Somerset, Bedford and Fulton Counties, Pennsylvania",
Waterman, Watkins & Co., NY 1884. "The Foor family is an old one in this
county (East Providence Township, Bedford/Fulton County), the fifth generation now living here. John FOOR, the progenitor, was a German who lived some years near Philadelphia, and then emigrated to this county and settled while most of this part of the state was a wilderness. His children were Jacob, John, Leonard, Richard, Abraham, Mary and Catherine. The property on which Samuel S. and William H. H. FOOR now live is the ancestral homestead of the family.
Their father, David, left, but later returned and died here. He was the father of 5 sons and 2 daughters. Four sons were enlisted in 1861, three returned. Francis died in a Rebel prison. S. S. FOOR was the first three-years man to enlist from East Providence. He married Margaret SHEELY of West Providence. She died in 1882. The FOOR families were among the first supporters of the Christian Church in this Township".
Bedford County Archives, Vol. 5, page 18. "John FOOR (FUHR) was born 1744 in Philadelphia county and was the son of Johann Lenhart Foor who came from Germany to America in 1742. He furnished a pack horse for the Braddock Expedition, 1755. John Foor married in 1774 in Philadelphia county, served in Washington's Army during the Revolution, under Captains Drine and Shnyder, and migrated to Bedford County, Providence Township about 1788. His son Leonard was born 1779 and married 1810. he had eight children, his eldest son David born 1811 and married about 1835. David's youngest son was Simon Jasper Newton, born 1847, and married Hannah Manspeaker, 1865. Their son, A. F. Foor of Everett, was born 1873."

If I tracked this family correctly, it appears there was not a lot of harmony. William married Sarah J. Hoy in 1866. In the 1870 and 1880 census they are together in Bloom Twp., Fairfield Co., OH. In 1900, I find wife Sarah in two different places. One place is with her mother, still in Bloom Twp., though it lists her as married and having 2 ch 2 living. Her date of birth is different, though the month of August is the same. She's also listed with her husband in Marion Twp. of Franklin Co., Ohio, where they appear to be running a dairy farm. Listed at the next residence of this dairy farm is a George Kauffman family, also dairy farm workers, his wife's name is Mary and it's believed that is William and Sarah's daughter.
In 1910, apparently their other child, John Hartman, divorced and is living with another divorced female. John's wife and child are living with his mother, and William, the father, is living now in Lancaster, Ohio.

[Marion Daily Star, Marion, Ohio, Nov. 16, 1909]
PETER W. HOLVERSTOTT, a time honored citizen of Marlon County, known for his probity both in public and private life, is a retired farmer of the county, residing in his pleasant home at No 749 East Center street, Marion. He was born in Claridon township, Marion County, Ohio, December 14, 1831, and is the first son and fifth child of Henry and Margaret (Betzer) Holverstott, The early history of the Holverstott family may be found elsewhere in this work, in the sketch of our subject's father.
Peter W. Holverstott was reared to manhood on his father's farm and acquired his education in the common schools of the neighborhood. His whole life, spanning a period of over 75 years, has been spent in Marion County. In his farming operations he developed an unusual amount of executive ability, which was a large factor in the success of his farm work and stock business. It has been said of him that in his time he could come as near filling two men's places in the harvest field or at threshing time as any man in his part of the county. He was what could be called an everyday worker, and did not believe in farming by proxy but always gave the feeding and care of his stock his personal attention. He had the energy and pluck to do everything himself that he could do. For 32 or 33 years he attended to the farming very closely and gave to it his personal supervision. It was his practice to fatten for the market about a car-load of steers each year and a large number of sheep, selling them in February or March. In addition he also raised and fattened for the market many hogs, which he sold in the spring and fall. Mr. Holverstott is an ardent admirer of fine horses, having raised and owned many very valuable ones, which he sold at good prices when three and four years old. During the period when he was actively engaged in agricultural pursuits, he kept his farm stocked with the best grades of horses, cattle, sheep and swine and always kept in touch with the advancement of the times. He thinks his intense interest in the farm business was the means of keeping him healthy enough to attend to the most particular features of the farm work himself. His regular and temperate habits perhaps had a great deal to do with his health. In all his long life he has never taken a drink of whiskey or beer in places where such things are sold; and does not believe in "treating" or being "treated." He has never used tobacco in any form nor taken a hand in a game of cards. He is the owner of the present home property in Marion and still owns his farm of 300 acres of finely improved land in Claridon township.
This farm was without a house of any kind, when he purchased it in November, 1862. There was a barn, 30 by 36 feet in dimension, then in course of erection, being enclosed but without floors or doors. In March, 1863, he put in floors and doors and arranged the barn to live in during the summer. The second day of April, 1863, he moved his family, which consisted of his wife, a son four years old and a daughter less than one year old, into the new barn. He constructed a shed for his two good teams, so that they could be well cared for. Starting their home on this new farm was somewhat like starting a home in the wild West. They could not step out of the barn without getting into hazel brush and had to carry all the water needed for drinking and cooking purposes from a well that was nearly half a mile away. They had the pluck and energy to soon clear away the brush, but it took more than energy and pluck to provide good water, for they had to wait about 50 days for the ground to become dry enough so that a well could be sunk. Then Mr. Holverstott dug a well; he says that the ground was so full of water that he was obliged to stop digging when down nine feet; fearing it would cave in, he walled the most of it up that same day, by working at night. They had plenty of good water for three months. Then he took the wall out and put in another day's digging, with two men to help; at the depth: of 16 feet he was obliged to wall up 10 feet that same day. This well still affords water when needed. The last day's digging caused the water to have a sulphur taste; this is the only one of the six wells on the farm that has sulphur water. All have plenty of good water at a depth of 16 feet.
When Mr. Holverstott acquired the farm, it needed ditching very badly. The farming had been done in patches, for there were many wet places and on portions of the dry land were groves of timber. Only about 65 acres out of 300 were under cultivation at the time of the purchase. The soil on this farm is mostly a black loam that farmers call good corn land. In 1884 and again in 1886 he had many acres which produced 40 bushels of good wheat to the acre, the crop from a field of 35 acres averaging 36 bushels. Many times his oats have averaged 70 bushels per acre, and have never run less than 50 bushels. His corn-fields have often yielded 60 bushels per acre. The main factor in obtaining those "bumper" yields was a good soil, improved and put in proper condition by ditching and tiling. The tillage which he gave his crops was another great factor. His clover and timothy-often yielded two and two and a half tons per acre. He saved and applied all the manure he could make. He never used a pound of any other kind of fertilizer. For many years this farm has been cleared and tiled so that 250 acres are ready for the the plow at any time. The other 50 acres are in timber.
Mr. Holverstott was among the first residents of his township to erect a nice home. In 1875 he designed and caused to be erected, at a cost of $4,000, the farm residence, a view of which appears in this history.
In April, 1891, Mr. Holverstott moved to Marion, where he had purchased a lot on which to build. He at once set about with characteristic pluck and fearlessness to provide a temporary home on this property, to be used during the erection of the residence. He procured the use of barn lumber at the rate of $2 per 1,000 feet, and with it built a railroad shanty, 38 feet long and16 feet wide with eight-foot sides, divided into two rooms, 20 and 18 feet long, respectively. When he unfolded his plans to Mrs. Holverstott, he was very much pleased to learn that she very readily acquiesced in all his plans. He carried out these plans and in this temporary structure they lived until they moved into their new house, in September. A view of Mr. Holverstott's city residence appears elsewhere in this work.
Mr. Holverstott was the promoter of the first crushed stone pike built in the northeastern part of Marion County being the projector of what is known as the "Marion and Caledonia Free Pike," which has proved to be one of the best in the county. He is a Republican in politics and has served as township trustee and in other local offices, which came to him unsought.
On October 30, 1854, Mr. Holverstott was united in marriage to Adelia Kilbourn, who was born in Delaware County, Ohio, April 30, 1835, and was a daughter of Rev. Marcus and Sarah (Wyatt) Kilbourn, the former a native of Vermont and a Free Baptist minister and the latter a, native of New York. Mr. and Mrs. Kilbourn were married in Delaware County, Ohio, where Mr. Kilbourn died, in 1836, aged 46 years. In 1862 Mrs. Kilbourn was married to, Robert Cratty, of Prospect township, Marion County, who died subsequently at the age of 103 years. Mrs. Cratty was aged 96 years when called to her reward. The marriage of our subject and Adelia Kilbourn was blessed with five children, as follows: Clarence Kilbourn, born March 3, 1859; Emma May, born May 18, 1862; Alice Annette, born October 10, 1866, deceased January 22, 1902; Ida Lillian, born April 5, 1865, deceased September 21, 1865 ; and an infant son, deceased. Clarence Kilbourn Holverstott has devoted many years to railroad work and is considered one of the best railroad men of the present time; he is now agent of the Baltimore & Ohio. Railroad Company at Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania. His two sons, both of whom are engaged in railroad work, are said to be reliable young men and both command and receive good salaries. Emma May is the wife of James W. Kennedy, of Big Island township. Alice Annette, who spent her entire life in, the home where she was born and reared, was the wife of Francis D. Smith ; she left three sons at her death
,Mrs. Adelia (Kilbourn) Holverstott, who was a very highly esteemed lady, was called away August 3, 1890, aged 55 years. Mr. and Mrs. Holverstott and son and daughters were members of the Claridon Free Baptist Church, of which Mr. Holverstott continues to be a leading member. This church was organized in April, 1871, by Rev. Samuel D. Bates, and among the first members were Mr. and Mrs. Peter W. Holverstott and their son. Mr. Bates continued as pastor to February, 1883. The first church structure was destroyed by fire in August, 1876. The next church, built in the fall of that year, is still in use.
The second marriage of our subject was contracted December 23, 1890, when Marietta Brandt, of Fairfield County, Ohio, became his wife. She was born April 6, 1850, in Fairfield County and there reared to womanhood. Her parents. Jesse and Eliza (Betzer) Brandt, were pioneers of that county, very widely known and most highly esteemed. Her mother's death took place on the Brandt homestead, near Lancaster, Ohio, October 7, 1899, at the age of 79 years. Her father at Berkeley, California, July 5, 1904, aged 85 years, 3 months and 5 days. Mr. and Mrs. Brandt and their three daughters were zealous Christians and were members of the Betzer Reformed Church. They were admired and honored by all who knew them. Mr Brandt was a stanch Republican.
