JOB INSKEEP, farmer, P. O. Ash Ridge, was born in November, 1852, in Jackson Township, Brown County. His parents are Fountain and Eleanor Inskeep, whose sketch appears in this work.

To them have been born five children, four of whom are still living — Ada, Harley, Jenna L. and John. Mr. Inskeep has, since his marriage, lived on the farm at present occupied by him. He is a member of the F. & A. M. Lodge, at Russellville, and the owner of 100 acres of land.
