Joel was born about 1828. As a child, he fell into a kettle of boiling salt and died.
He is probably buried in the New Reading Cemetery near Somerset, Perry Co., OH.

"It was a custom among the early settlers of Perry county to get salt water at the salt springs in that locality and boil it in a large kettle or pan to evaporate the water and thus obtain salt, for family use, and it was into one of these kettles that Joel, when a child, fell and was scalded to death." --Barnhart B. and John C. Overmyer, 1905 Overmyer History and Genealogy
