W. T. Twining. The Twining family has been represented in Lorain County for nearly sixty-five years. W. T. Twining is now living practically retired in Henrietta Township but for many years was engaged in the vigorous prosecution of his business as a general farmer, dairyman and stockman. The name is one that has always been associated with honorable citizenship and a substantial influence in behalf of community welfare.
A native of New York State, W. T. Twining was born September 4, 1847, a son of Charles A. and Nellie (Schermerhorn) Twining. The Twining family is of old American ancestry, and the first of the name was William Twining who came from England and settled on the Atlantic coast soon after 1630. Grandfather Samuel Twining was born February 22, 1796, and followed the business of farmer and miller, making his home in Broome County, New York. In that county he was married in 1813 to Elizabeth Stout.

Twining, so long known as one of the most successful men of Lorain County, started life with absolutely nothing, and for a number of years had to support not only his sisters but his mother and stepfather. At the time of his death his estate included over 500 acres of land. He first came to Ohio in 1849, but it was in 1852 that he made permanent settlement in Lorain County. He brought to this county $500 and with that as capital purchased his first land in Pittsfield Township. Later he bought a farm in Camden Township and still later in Henrietta Township, in which locality he lived until his death. He became a prominent stock raiser and also dealt extensively in lands, and at one time owned eight different farms. Charles A. and Nellie Twining were married in 1842. and of their eight children seven are still living: Sarah Ann, widow of LeGrand Gibson, and living at Clarksfield. Ohio; W. T.; Gertrude Elizabeth, now deceased; Alvah F. of Henrietta Township; Floyd Odell of Henrietta Township; Virgil Leroy, who has gained success in the hotel business and is now owner of four different hotels and lives at Maumee. Ohio: Perry Eugene, a farmer in Maryland; and Fred A., who is a minister of the Regular Baptist Church, at Coshocton, Ohio. The parentswere members of the Free Will Baptist Church, and the father was a democrat in politics.
W. T. Twining gained his early education in the public schools. He worked for his father on the farm until gaining his majority, and was then married to Miss Drucilla Ann Bulkley. They have lived together and worked out their destinies for almost a half a century. Mrs. Twining was a daughter of Jeremiah and Mary Ann (Vincent) Bulkley. Her father was born in New York State September 12, 1824, and died October 20, 1908, and her mother was born in Canada August 8, 1825, and died December 7, 1905. The Bulkley family came to Lorain County in pioneer times and the grandfather and father of Mrs. Twining cleared up a large acreage of land in this section. The Vincents were also early settlers in Henrietta Township. Mr. and Mrs. Twining have three children: Estella Jane, wife of Lewis F. Peabody, a farmer in Camden Township, and they have one child living, Juva; George E., who occupies a farm adjoining that of his father, married Jessie Hales and their three children are Clarence, Harold and Edna; and Minnie Ethel married Robert Wyler, a farmer in Henrietta Township, and their seven children are Earl, Elsie, Harley, I la, Florence, Doris and Mildred. Besides these three living children one son, Charles Tracy, is now deceased.
from "A Standard History of Lorain County"
by Geo Frederick Wright;
Mr. and Mrs. Twining are members of the Regular Baptist Church, and
while a democrat he is inclined to independence in his political activities. When he started in life he inherited some land from his father, but subsequently bought more land, and his farm now comprises eighty-three acres. At one time he conducted a large dairy, but has abandoned that feature of his business, and for a number of years he also raised and dealt extensively in live stock. He is now practically retired, and finds plenty to do in supervising his well improved farm.
