PETER F. VOLLNOGLE, a practical druggist doing an extensive business at New Waterford, was born in Ohio in 1857. and is
a son of Solomon and Mary Ann (Firestone) Vollnogle and grandson of John Vollnogle.
John Vollnogle. who was born in Germany. came to America when he was but 14 years of age, in search-of the fortune which young men are very apt to imagine exists in some other locality than the ones in which Providence has placed them. In his case the good fortune proved to be a farm in a fertile section of Ohio, earned by his own industry. It vas while he was working at farm labor in the vicinity of Brush Run, in Pennsylvania, that he married an excellent young woman of the neighborhood named Susanna Conkle. They lived for a time north of Lewistown, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, and then joined the great exodus from that locality to Ohio settling in what is now included in Mahoning, but was then Columbiana, County. At a later date he moved to Indiana, being a man of pioneering spirit, and there he engaged in farming until the close of his life, his widow survived him but a short time. They reared a large family and the six who survived infancy were: Michael, of Wisconsin ; Hannah, of Indiana Solomon, father of our subject ; Daniel, of Indiana; Betsey, of Kansas; and Mathias, of Columbiana County. Only several of these reared families.
Solomon Vollnogle grew to manhood on his father's farm in Beaver township, Columbiana (now Mahoning) County, where his birth took place on February I 1, 1831. He was the third son of the family and he came into the domestic circle shortly after his parents had settled in the new home. He grew up hardened to the vicissitudes of pioneer life, and as he developed from childhood to boyhood and youth he was assigned his part in the work of developing the wild farm into a comfortable and productive homestead. He went to school during a few months in the winter seasons, when the snow drifts were not too deep, warmly dressed according to the times in the clothing woven and fashioned by his mother's busy fingers. It was impossible to keep the little log schoolhouse even comparatively warm, but the hardy pupils were accustomed to only a modicum of heat in their own homes. The school instruction was confined to the rudiments— reading, writing, spelling and arithmetic.
In 1856 Mr. Vollnogle was united in marriage with the estimable daughter of neighboring farmers. Peter and Sarah Ann (Allen) Firestone. Mary Ann Firestone had been reared, as himself, to habits of thrift and industry. and she had also obtained her education. fully sufficient for all the demands made upon her, in the same little log schoolhouse. She had been taught all good housewifely accomplishments word she took a pardonable pride in her ability to spin and weave and later to fashion comfortable and presentable clothing for her husband and children from the cloth which came from her loom. She became the honored and beloved mother of two sons and

though he began the study of medicine and pharmacy many years previously. He was associated with Dr. F: M. Cox for one year and was in partnership in a drug business with Dr. D. M. Bloom until 1877. In that year the firm of Bloom & Vollnogle sold out to Milo Cain, who continued the business until September, 1881, when Mr. Vollnogle repurchased the stock and good will from Mr. Cain and has been in this line of business ever since. He remained at the old stand until 1894, when he moved into tide Magnet Block and has now one of the finest business rooms in the village. He carries a complete line of everything found in a modern drug-store including first-class drugs and standard patent medicines and a most attractive line of toilet articles. His establishment is in much favor with the ladies of the village, who find in his choice selection many articles to please their taste. In addition to hiS other commodities, for the past few years he has made a specialty of wall-papers and displays samples of all the new fancies and fashions in this line. During the season he finds it necessary to employ from three to five clerks. He is also a leader in paints and paintersl supplies. Mr. Vollnogle is now the oldest merchant in continuous business in the village of New Waterford. He has been the preceptor of four young men who subsequently graduated in pharmacy.
Mr. Vollnogle was married at New Waterford to Prudy Doyle, who was born in Columbiana County. Ohio, and is a daughter of William and Mary Ann (Carter) Doyle. They have one daughter, Grace, who is a graduate of the Normal School at Canfield. and took a course in pharmacy in the State of New York.
For many years Mr. Vollnogle. who is a member of the Democratic State Central Committee. has, been active in that party, and has been sent frequently as delegate to important conventions. For several years in earlier life he was a member of the village Council. He is president and one of the charter members of the New Waterford Building & Loan Association, which was organized in November, 1904. He was one of the first to add and plat an addition to New Waterford.

After marriage, Solomon Vollnogle and wife settled on a farm in Fairfield township, where many years of hard work followed. In that day wire fencing was unknown, farms being divided and separated from the public highways and the neighboring land by split-rail fencing and the preparation of these and the setting out of cherry trees, which was often done in order to provide shade and make a sort of hedge, kept Mr. Vollnogle busy when not actively cultivating his land. He fashioned all his own tools in a little blacksmith shop on the farm, many of these being very creditable and well adapted to the purpose for which they were used. He harvested his crops with scythes and reaping hooks, made various articles of furniture for household use and attended to the hundreds of little but necessary things which modern machinery now take out of the farmer's hands and do better.
Solomon Vollnogle has always been a hardworking man and in his prime he was the equal of any in his neighborhood and it was no idle boast that he could make a record on the harvest field or at corn husking with the best. In 1865 he purchased and moved upon a cultivated farm. where he made many improvements, including the complete remodeling of the house, and there he resided until 1902, when he removed to the village of New Waterford, renting his 100-acre farm, and is now in the enjoyment of peaceful retirement. He is one of the old and valued members of the Presbyterian Church.
