full text of article:
Henton Monroe DUNNICK, a fine type of gentleman farmer of old and cultured Ohio, owner of 215 acres of beautiful
land in Walnut township, and former sheriff of Pickaway County, was born upon the farm which still comprises of
his homestead, on January 24, 1854. The is a son of Benjamin T. and Minerva (Ashbrook) Dunnick, His father was
born, reared and educated in Walnut township and here became a prominent farmer. He died September 12, 1859.
Our subject's mother was a daughter of William and Permelia Ashbrook, both natives of Virginia and is still living
at East Ringgold, aged 87 years.
In Walnut township our subject developed into an intelligent and useful manhood, and in 1875 married his first
wife Sarah Ann Brobst, who died in 1882. By her he had three children, viz.: Iva, who married Boyd Swope, of Amanda
township, Fairfield County, Ohio and became the mother of two children, Kathleen and F. Dunnick (SWOPE).
Oela C., who married William C. Northstine, lives in Walnut township and is the mother of a daughter --Sarah Elizabeth
; and John T., who married Alice Plummer, of Columbus, and is assistant business manager of the Columbus Dispatch.
In 1889 Mr. Dunnick married Mary E. Hammel. Two children were born to this union -- David H. and Minerva.
Mr. Dunnick purchased his present home in August 1896, and the family occupied it in 1897. It was during the latter
year that he concluded his four years' service as sheriff of Pickaway County, having been elected on the Democratic
ticket. He has a wide connection with the fraternities, being a member of the F.& A.M., B.P.O.E. and I.O.O.F.
Religiously he is identified with the Primitive Baptist Church.
Mr. Dunnick takes great pride in his home, which is commodious and modern, and is prouder still of his family.
He is especially gratified at the success of his youngest child by his first marriage, John T. Dunnick. When
the latter was in the Circleville High School, during the father's term as sheriff, he took a local agency for
the Columbus Dispatch. He acquitted himself so creditably that when he finished his course he was
offered a position in the Columbus office as assistant bookkeeper, and his good work in that capacity earned him
the promotion to his present post -- assistant business manager.
Mahlon Ashbrook, Mr. Dunnick's uncle was the founder of the town of Ashville, which was named in his honor. About
the year 1850 he was the wealthiest man in Pickaway County, conducting the largest store and selling more produce
than any one in the county. In 1855 he met with serious business reverses and the entire family, which is one
of the oldest, most aristocratic and honorable in the county, came to his assistance, and in the discharge of his
indebtedness they were all reduced to comparative poverty. (Mahlon was Minerva's brother - two Dunnick siblings
married Ashbrook siblings) |
