Jonathan Holben Birth Date 22 Oct 1796 Death Date 06 Dec 1872 Tuscarawas Township, Stark, Ohio, United States "Ohio, County Death Records, 1840-2001," Jonathan Hulban,(sic: Holben) 06 Dec 1872; citing Death, Tuscarawas Township, Stark, Ohio, United States, source ID v 1 p 98, County courthouses, Ohio; FHL microfilm 897,621.
JONATHAN HOLBEN, formerly one of the progressive and well-to-do agriculturalists of this county, displayed such enterprise and ability in carrying on his farming operations and won for himself a high place among the men of his class in Tuscarawas Township, where he resided. He was born in Lehigh County, Pa., and after coming to Ohio, followed his trade of a tailor in Camden for a time, and subsequently located upon the beautiful estate which his widow is occupying at the present time.
The school advantages of our subject were far inferior to those offered lads at this time. He, however, acquired a good foundation on which to build his knowledge, both of teaching studied from books and from the practical affairs of life. When ready to establish a home of his own, he was married in January, 1832, to Miss Annie Ruffner, who was born in this county October 25, 1810 and is therefore one of the oldest living residents. She is the daughter of Conrad and Annie E. (Myers) Ruffner, who came from Pennsylvania, their native State, in an early day, and located on an uncultivated tract of land in the wash of Plain Township. The family was obliged to camp out in the wagon until a rude structure was completed, and in that humble home, Mrs. Holben was reared to mature years, and experienced many of the hardships and inconveniences incidental to the first settlement of a country. She laid the foundation of her education in the district school and was trained to perform all the home duties by her excellent mother.
After their marriage, they lived for a short time in Canton, and later took up their abode on the farm in this township. They became the parents of six children, the three youngest of whom are living, namely: Jonathan F., Isaac C. and Mary. The great grief of Mrs. Holben's life was occasioned by the death of her husband, December 6, 1873, but she was not alone in her sorrow, as his departure from the scenes of this life was regretted by a large circle of friends, who sincerely sympathized with the family.
Mr. Holben began life without means, and it was only by the force of indomitable will and the exercise of untiring industry, secured by clear judgement and sagacious foresight, that he placed himself among the prominent agriculturists of this township, having one hundred and fourteen acres of land in Plain Township and property in the city of Canton. The farm is supplied with every comfort, and during his life our subject and his excellent wife drew around them a fine circle of friends, winning the regard of all who knew them.
The parents our subject have the names of Frederick and Margaret Holben, and were respected residents of Pennsylvania. Jonathan F., the son of him of whom we write, makes his home with his mother and is supervising the operation.
