JOHN TRISLER (deceased), born near Hagerstown, Md., Dec. 31, 1789, and died Dec. 10, 1880, being ninety years eleven months and eleven days old. His father Michael, when John was about ten years old, moved to Lexington, Ky., and soon after died, leaving John and his brothers to support the family. John Trisler was married in 1811 to Fanny Reed, and came to Lewis Township, Brown County, Ohio, at that time almost an unbroken forest. He, with a few others, erected the little stone church on Shinkle Ridge. In 1825, he lost his first wife, and afterward married Catharine Gray and moved to Tate Township, Clermont County, where he became one of the Charter members of Antioch Church, and where he remained until 1870, when he disposed of his farm and afterward lived with his children. At his death he left thirteen children, ninety-two grandchildren, over one hundred great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren. On the 11th of December, grandfather Trisler was interred at Mt. Zion Church.
