SETH ST. JOHN, farmer; P. O. Lebanon; was born in Turtle Creek Township, Warren Co., April 5, 1848. He is the son of Joseph and Rebecca (Jenning) St. John. His father settled in Turtle Creek Township in 1803. and lived there until his death. He commenced life in a round-log hut. and suffered all the hardships and privations incident to pioneer life. At the time of his death, he had succeeded in wresting from the wilderness 116 acres of land, which had been cleared and put under cultivation by his personal labor. Our subject grew up on the farm, receiving a common school education, and, when old enough, taking upon himself the care of the farm settled by his father. He was married in 1875, to Miss Smoot, of Warren County, by whom he has had three children. He is a Democrat in politics, and, though comparatively young in years, occupies a place of prominence in his township. |
