J. C. REDMAN, Justice of the Peace and conveyancer, P. O., Maineville, was born in Hamilton Co., Ohio, in the year 1835, and is a son of John Redman, of Pennsylvania, who came to Ohio in 1830. Our subject received not the advantage of an education in the earlier part of his life, but afterwards, by studiously applying his mind, and chiefly through his own efforts, succeeded in obtaining a good business-like education. At the age of 15 he began learning the harness trade, which was completed three years after. It was then he began to realize the necessity of an education, which he set out in pursuit of, and won. After attaining his majority he engaged in teaching, which he followed five years, and as an educator became well and favorably known. In 1862 he enlisted in Co. K, 79th O. V. I.; saw active service until June, 1864, at which time he was wounded in front of Atlanta, Ga. For meritorious service he was after this promoted to a 1st Lieut., but being unable to pass muster on account of disability caused by the wound, could not accept the proffered honor. In September, 1865, he was "mustered out" and returned home, and a few months later went to Camp Denison, where he remained until 1866, since when he has been engaged in various enterprises. He is now established in Maineville in the capacity of conveyancer, and is in discharge of the duties and responsibilities of Justice of the Peace, Township and Corporation Clerk. He also does a large amount of legal writing, to do which he is fully competent. In 1856 be was married to Mary E., daughter of William T. Friend, of Woodville, Ohio, who has borne him seven children, viz: John W., Louisa, Edwin S., Debby J., Alice C., David and Anice. He is a worthy member of the Masonic Lodge of Blanchester, Ohio, No. 191, and also of the Maineville Lodge I. O. O. F., No. 557. |
