CORNELIUS HALDERMAN, farmer, P.O. Roann, son of John and Mary Halderman, was born in Preble County, Ohio, May 30, 1815. His father was born September 8, 1773, in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. His mother (formerly Mary Kinsey), was born in Maryland July 6, 1780. The subject of our sketch in his youth had moderate opportunities only for acquiring an education. He improved well such opportunities, however, thus preparing himself to act a practical part in life's dealings. At the age of twenty, he entered the printing office of his older brother, who was at that time editing and publishing the Eaton Register, of Eaton, Ohio, and was thus engaged, with the exception of a few months spent in teaching school, for a period of seven years. At the expiration of that time, he was exclusively engaged in teaching for two years.
The event of his marriage took place November 12, 1843. The chosen companion through life being Julia A. Riner, born in Preble County, Ohio, June 17, 1821. She is the daughter of Henry and Sarah Fouke) Riner, who were natives of Virginia, the former having been born in Berkeley County April 11, 1790, and the latter in Shepherdstown June 18, 1797. Mr. Halderman purchased and settled on a farm near Camden, Ohio, in 1844, and was there engaged in farming for a period of nine years. At the expiration of that time, he opened a mercantile establishment in Green Bush, Ohio, and was thus engaged for one year. He purchased his first real estate in Wabash County in September, 1834, but did not become a resident of the county until 1854, when he purchased and settled on the farm where he now resides. He purchased at first 520 acres. The town of Roann now stands on the tract. He sold a portion of the land, leaving him now the owner of more than 300 acres of excellent land, a large portion of which is under a fine state of cultivation. His dwelling has been built nearly twenty years, and is a substancial and comfortable residence of the style then in vogue. The first business house in Roann was built by him in 1855, and shortly after its completion he purchased and brought to Roann a full line of general merchandise, which was the first stock of goods brought to the place. He was then successfully engaged in conducting his store until 1857, when he sold out. Since then he has been extensively engaged in farming.
In politics, Mr. Halderman is a Republican, a Universalist in religion. He is a friend to education, and advocate for and supporter of good schools, and ever stands to aid in advancing general improvements in his county.
Mr. And Mrs. Halderman have had born to them eleven children, viz.: Philena A., born September 18, 1844; Harriett B., June 18, 1846; Lurton D., May 7, 1849; Charles S., March 29, 1851; Henry R., born January 30, 1853, deceased November 15, 1853; Clarence, born September 30, 1854, and deceased April 8, 1855; Abbot L. and Florence B., born May 13, 1857; William H., March 8, 1860; Laura I., July 25, 1862; U. S. Grant, August 31, 1864.
