J. O. LIMING, farmer, P. O. Hamersville. James Orange Liming, oldest son of Jasper and Margaret (Redmon) Liming, was born in Clark Township, Brown Co., Ohio, July 16, 1855, and was raised on a farm; and at an early age was inducted in the stock trade. He graduated at the Lebanon Normal School, in the mathematical and engineering class. He also commenced the study of law but did not complete his regular course, and decided to continue farming and stock-raising, as the business was not so crowded as the bar, and gave better promise. Mr. Liming was married, June 18, 1881, to Sabrah J., only daughter of Charles Oursler, who was born in Georgetown November 25, 1862. Mr. Liming was elected Justice of the Peace for Clark Township April, 1882; the youngest man ever elected in the township.
