Reasonably Good Health (Springfield Sun)
During the past several months The Sun has published a number of sketches concerning the life and career of those of our citizens who have passed their eightieth birthday anniversary, and again this week we give a brief history of a man who has had an unusually busy career; one who has retired from active life after more than a half century spent in connection with the business and agricultural interests of our county, a man known far and wide because of his long and active public career.
Michael Leoniades Troutman was born in Bullitt County, Ky., January 9, 1842. His mother, Elizabeth Shawler Troutman was born on the same farm, March 18, 1818 and his father, Peter Troutman, was born in South Carolina, January 27, 1807. He is one of a family of eight children he and two sisters, Mrs. L. L. Wood, of Louisville, and Mrs. Belle Harned, of Lebanon Junction, are all that are now living. He is a member of the Baptist Church at Belmont, Ky.
Mr. Troutman was married to Miss Sarah O. Howlett, April 6, 1870. She died in February, 1871. In April 1875, he was married to Mrs. Elizabeth Moberly, who died January 27, 1911. He had only one child, a daughter, Mrs. Norris Montgomery, two grandsons, D. B. Crume, of Bloomfield, Ky., Frank Crume, Webster, O., and two great grand-children. He left the farm in 1882, moved to Nelsonville, Nelson County, where he was engaged in mercantile business and as a railroad agent for twelve years. In 1894 he moved to Booker, Washington County, where he was engaged in the mercantile business and as railroad agent for nine years. In 1903 he moved to Maud where he was again engaged in the mercantile business until 1914. He then was engaged in farming until 1921, when he moved to Springfield to make his home.
Mr. Troutman's state of health is reasonably good but he retired from active work several years ago.
Note: Other sources say his father was born North Carolina
