ADDISON HAGAN.
Addison Hagan is a well known resident of Mad River township, Clark county. His father, James Hagan, was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and at an early day came to Clark county, Ohio. He wedded Catherine Kimball, also a native of the Keystone state, and they became the parents of the following children: John, who married Caroline Benjamin, was a well known educator of Springfield for many years, but at the time of his death was an attorney of Cincinnati, Ohio, where he passed away July 9, 1873; Louisa is living on the home farm with our subject; Julia is deceased; Margaret married James Robinson and died August 20, 1862, leaving one child; Susan died March 18, 1892; Sally is the wife of Frank Fryant, who resides upon a farm near the old homestead; and Kate and Addison, of this review, are yet living on the old home place. The father of this family was quite active in politics and was a leading and influential citizen of his community. He served as township clerk for many years and was also a candidate on the Democratic ticket for the legislature. For twenty-five years he was engaged in teaching school and his devotion to the general good was cordially acknowledged. He died February 4, 1874, and his wife departed this life April 2, 1856.
Mr. Hagan, of this review, has always resided upon, the old home farm, where he was born on the 24th of July, 1847. In his youth he attended the district schools of his neighborhood and also assisted in the task of improving and cultivating the fields. This work he has since continued and since his father’s death he has assumed the management of the farm, which consists of eighty-four acres, and on which he is living with his sisters, Louisa and Kate. In connection with the raising of grain-best adapted to the soil and climate he is also engaged in the raising of stock to some extent.: Everything about the place is neat, thrifty and attractive in appearance. In his political views Mr. Hagan is a Democrat, having always supported this party, but has never been an office seeker, preferring to give his time and attention to his farm work.
