John Hibner.
Jackson Township has won an enviable reputation as a prosperous farming community, and this reputation has been established through the energy of such farmers as Mr. Hibner. For years he has been prominently connected with the development of the township and with its advancement as a farming region. Coming here in August, 1848, he purchased an eighty-acre tract where he has since made his home. During his first winter in this locality he lived in a log shanty, about 10x12 feet, but in the spring he built a comfortable house. After he had paid for his land and for a cow he had but fifty cents left. However, deer and other game abounded, and thus the family were supplied with all the meat necessary, while the other necessaries were raised on the land. As the years passed by Mr. Hibner prospered. He kept adding to his farm until his place numbered something more than one thousand acres, but he has given his children considerable property and has in that way reduced his holdings to over seven hundred acres. Although he had few advantages other than those he made for himself, he met with remarkable success, and is now one of the well-to-do farmers of the county, while at the same time he is one of the most highly respected as well.
The sole survivor of the eight children of John and Jane (Caldwell) Hibner, the subject of this sketch was born in Guernsey County, Ohio, September 14, 1804. His father, who was born in Peekskill, N.Y., about 1768, grew to manhood there, then went to Ohio and worked as a farm hand in Miami bottoms. Next, settling in Guernsey County, he took up a claim of one hunderd and sixty acres, and shortly after was married. At the breaking out of the war of 1812 he enlisted in the service and took part in the famous thirteen-days' siege of Fort Meigs, Defiance and Wayne. When the troops marched away from the fort he was ill with camp fever and was left behind. Later, recovering somewhat, he started for home; for days he wandered through the forests and over the praires without food; he asked for something to eat at an Indian camp, but was refused. However, at last he reached home in safety.
