W. M. BURCH, proprietor of Burch House, Mason, Ohio, was born in Deerfield Township in the year 1825. He is a son of Ebeneezer and Clarisa (Little) Burch, who were born in Pennsylvania, where they were reared: they came to Ohio with their respective families, he in the year 1808 or 1809; after his arrival, he was married to Clarisa Little. During the greater portion of his life, he was a citizen of Warren County, only moving to Butler County just previous to his death. They were parents of twelve children, five of whom are living, viz., Mary J., Noah, Jacob, Ebeneezer and William M. The boyhood days of our subject were spent on the farm; he remained with his parents until of age. He was twice married—first, with Mary Bone, who bore him five children, viz., Thomas J., Jane, John, Ebeneezer and Sallie. His second marriage was celebrated with Julia Waldron, by whom he has had three children, viz., Charles, Starrora and Harry. He followed the farm until about 1857, when he came to Mason and began keeping hotel, and since catered to the hungry; in that most particular of all business, “landlording," he is a success, and a genuine expert, knowing well how to look after the comfort and pleasure of his guests. He is a member of the I. O. O. F., Mason Lodge, No. 209, to which he has belonged for a score of years. |
