WILLIAM H. STORER, farmer; P. O. Lebanon; was born in Washington Co., Penn., May 6, 1826. He was the son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Holcraft) Storer, natives of Pennsylvania, of English descent. His education was received in the common schools of Pennsylvania, and his early life spent on the farm. He moved to Ohio in 1860, and located on the farm in Section 11. Turtle Creek Township, where he still lives, now owning 92 acres of rich, arable land in the best state of improvement. He was married Jan. 25,1860, to Miss Nancy Gallaher, a native of Pennsylvania, who died June 5, 1876, leaving six children, three boys and three girls. Mr. Storer is a good farmer, a close reader, and a man who keeps himself thoroughly posted on the topics of the day. He is a strong Republican, and has served his Township, as a School Director, for some time. His life has been largely spent on the farm, and his love of reading has enabled him to conduct his farm in a much more successful manner than many of his less fortunate neighbors.
