My Genealogy Hound

WILLIAM SCHWEIGHART, blacksmith, Ash Ridge, was born in July, 1861, in Franklin Township, Brown County, Ohio. His parents are Christian and Eva S. Schweighart of this county. He remained on his father’s farm till he was perhaps seventeen years old, when he began to learn the profession in which he is now engaged. He was employed by William Johnson, of Russellville, with whom he remained about three months, he then was employed by Lewis Klump, near Ripley, with whom he remained somewhat over two years. In the autumn of 1881, he bought the business stand at present occupied by him located at Carlisle Village. He does horseshoeing and general blacksmithing. He is an excellent workman and does his work with neatness and dispatch. We can recommend him to the public as one who is master of his profession and worthy the patronage of the community surrounding him. He is energetic, persevering and industrious — qualities which will ensure him success. In his dealings with his fellowmen he is strictly honest, and always meets his obligations; he is also a liberal contributor to all enterprises which prove of interest to the county and the elevation of humanity. He stands high in the estimation of the community in which he resides.
