A. P. ROHRER, farmer ;P. 0. Urbana. Is one of the popular men of the township, and represents an honorable name in this county. His father, Daniel Roher was a native of Pennsylvania, and came to this State a comparatively poor man. He walked from his home in Pennsylvania to this county, then back to Pennsylvania, a again returned on foot to keep from spending his money. He invested his money in a mill and stillhouse that is located on the Westville Pike, on Mad River. His capital $2,000 was all gone before his work was completed, and he would have utterly failed but a loan was effected which completed his mill, and in the short space of fifteen years he had paid all indebtedness and had amassed the snug sum of $45,000. He was hard worker, and a man whom everyone trusted, and their faith was never betrayed. Hemarried Sarah Loudenback April 5, 1834, and reared four children; one son died infancy ; Martin is the eldest; A. P. Rohrer, Mary A. and Christian F. These all married, and, with the exception of our subject, have been twice married. Mrs Rohrer died April 1, 1874, and she lies by the side of her husband, in Nettle Creek graveyard. An elegant monument marks their resting-place. Abram P. Rohrer, whom we now write, was married to Miss Francis A. Logan, of this county, in 1858; He has since this time made agriculture and rearing of fine stock his business. He has some young horses as highly bred as any in the State of Ohio. His farm is one of the splendid ones in the Mad River Valley, and very productive. He is a good financier, and is a wealthy man, and intends soon to have a nice residence of the modern style. As his father was one of the prominent men of this township, his memory; as well as the family history, should be perpetuated. Abram has been for a number of years connected with the public schools, and is Democratic in politics.
