Amos L. Slabaugh, who successfully operates a farm of 150 acres in Randolph township, Portage county, was born in Pennsylvania, December 16, 1822. He is a son of Christian and Nancy (Rhodes) Slabaugh, who migrated from the old home in Lancaster county, in 1827, and located in Mahoning county. There the family settled on a farm of 160 acres. The sons assisted their father in clearing the land, and in the log house which was the family home was reared the twelve children of the household.

Amos L., who is the only surviving son of the family, resided with his parents until his marriage to Miss Julia A. France in 1853. He then located at Akron, Ohio; subsequently resided in Indiana for three years; lived for a time at Rootstown, Portage county, and finally settled on his present farm in Randolph township. His wife, who was born in 1832 and is therefore ten years his junior, has borne him three sons and one daughter, as follows: Dr. Warren Slabaugh, a practicing physician of Omaha; Willard W., a lawyer in that city; Watson E., a lawyer, who resides at Akron, Ohio; Frank is an Omaha dentist; and his sister Mary lives at home.
