HENRY W. TRISLER, farmer, P. O. Hamersville. The subject of this sketch was born in Clermont County, Ohio, April 26, 1832. He was raised on a farm and only received a common school education. He was married to Drusilla, daughter of John Spires, a native of Brown County, and settled in the township the same year. He and wife have four children — Isadora, who, besides a good common school education has taken a course at select school, including a regular course in music, and has given lessons in the latter; Cora Etta has been a fellow-student with her elder sister; Orlandus C., who, although only taught in the common school, has been a hard student and ranks high for his age — has taught six months’ school and is engaged at the same place for another term; Ada M., a bright little Miss. Mr. Trisler has been one of our most successful farmers, but thinks more of expending his money to educate his children to fit them for useful members of society, than to increase his broad acres. His wife and two eldest daughters are members of the Disciples’ Church at Hamersville, of which church he is also one of the Elders, which position he has held for several years. In politics, he is a Jeffersonian Democrat, and as a friend of education has rendered considerable service as School Director and member of the Board of Education. To such men as Mr. Trisler we have to look for the prosperity and success of our country.
