ADDISON F. OSMER, a prominent citizen of Farmington, Trumbull county, Ohio, is a native of this place, born September 7, 1844, son of Alonzo and Lydia (Foulk) Osmer and one of a family of eight children, four of whom are living. Having been identified with this part of the county all his life and being one of the representative men, the following sketch of him and his ancestry is therefore of interest in this connection.

Mr. Osmer is not only a native of Ohio himself, but his parents were also both born in this State, his father in Chardon, Geanga county, August 21, 1821; his mother in Portage county, October 14, 1823; the former died at Farmington, January 10, 1889; the latter is still living on the old farm. Mrs. Lydia Osmer is a daughter of Henry and Betsey (Bird) Foulk, who came from Pennsylvania to Ohio at an early day, and died in Michigan, to which State they have moved later; both were over sixty at the time of death. Alonzo Osmer was a son of Ephraim and Eleanor (Flemmings) Osmer, who located in Ohio at an early period, here spent the rest of their lives and died at advanced ages. Alonzo was about four years old at the time his parents came to Ohio, and here he was reared, and November 17, 1842, was married to Miss Foulk. After the death of his parents he moved to a farm near where the subject of this sketch now lives.

Addison F. Osmer was reared on his father's farm. He was on the verge of manhood when the Civil war burst upon the country, and January 20, 1862, he entered the Union service. For nine months he was a member of Company G, Eighty-sixth Ohio, under Captain William F. Milligan, after which he re-enlisted, this time in Company H, One Hundred and Seventy-first Ohio, under Captain H. H. Hatch. Being in all the engagements in which his regiment took part, and ever acting as a true soldier, he rendered efficient service during the war.

After the war was over he returned to the old farm. He soon bought some land andsubsequently added more to it, and at this writing is the owner of 210 acres. He has devoted his energies all these years to general farming, and has been fairly successful.

November 18, 1869, Mr. Osmer married Miss Rosetta Bower, who was born in Trumbull county, Ohio, April 7, 1847. She died at the age of forty years, leaving five daughters, namely: Alice M., Belle A., Edith E., Carrie E. and Hattie, all at home, the oldest daughter being a widow. September 24, 1890, he married Mrs. Lettie McCaslin, a widow with one child, Kingsley McCaslin. She now has two sons by Mr. Osmer: Addison Y., born March, 5, 1892; and Albert W., born September 22, 1893. Mrs. Osmer was born June 1, 1857, daughter of Sylvester and Lovina Harshman. The Harsh mans belong to an old and highly respected family of pioneers in this State. Sylvester Harshman was born in Trumbull county, Ohio, December 3, 1825, son of Matthias Harshman, who was born in Washington county, Pennsylvania, January 15, 1801, and died in Ohio, December 16, 1876. Matthias Harshman was a son of Matthias, Sr., and Mary Harshman, both natives of Pennsylvania, and both died at Lordstown, Ohio, having attained to ripe old age. The younger Matthias Harahman married Phoebe Deneen, who was born in Trumbull county, Ohio, September 20, 1805 and died July 1, 1885. Her people descended from the French, the Harshmans from the Germans. Sylvester Harshman was twice married, his second marriage, to Mrs. Lovina C. Hanks, occurring November 14, 1855. She was born in Geauga county, Ohio, December 29, 1823, daughter of Frederick and Betsey (Kibbee) Vrooman, the former a native of New York and the latter of New Hampshire, both having long since passed away. Mrs. Osmer is one of the two children born to her parents. She had good educational advantages, and was for several years a popular and successful teacher.

Both the Osmers and Harshmans are identified with the Methodist Episcopal Church. Politically, Mr. Osmer is a Republican. He has been Chaplain of Hall Post, No. 426, G. A. R., for six years, and his wife has served as presiding officer of the W. R. C. here for one year. They are among the leading citizens of their community and are highly esteemed by all who know them.
