"Our subject (Baltzer Lybrook) was born in this county, on the old homestead, August 9, 1822, and his sister Maria (Lybrook) Hart, August 7, 1826, these being the only children born to Jacob and Elizabeth Lybrook. Maria is the wife of John Hart. Baltzer Lybrook was reared on his father's farm and received a rudimentary education in the district schools of the neighborhood, and on growning to manhood adopted the vocation of farming, which has since occupied his attention. December 12, 1844, he was united in marriage with Jane, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Zolman) Cunningham, a native of Rockbridge County, Va., born January 17, 1825. Her parents, William and Elizabeth Cunningham, emigrated to Union County, Ind., when Jane was a small girl, and made only a temporary stay, when they removed to Preble County, Ohio. To the union of Baltzer and Jane (Cunningham) Lybrook have been born Jacob H., Margaret A., Ann M., Leander T., Elizabeth A., Sarah E., Mary J., Laura B., Henrietta, Minnie L. and Madison, all of whom are living but four. Mr. Lybrook is somewhat reserved, and has never been an office-seeker, preferring rather the quiet life on the farm. However, he has served the people of Harrison Township as Trustee and enjoyed their confidence in the administration of the business of that office. He voted first with the Whig party, casting his first Presidential vote for Henry Clay, and later voted with the Republican party. Both he and his wife are members of the German Baptist Church."
