SOLOMON WARSTLER, farmer; P. O. Cairo; is a son of George and Mary (Freeze) Warstler, who were natives of Hagerstown, Md., and came to Ohio about 1802, settling in Plain Tp. They were among the very first families in the township. The father learned the blacksmith's trade and worked at the same for several years. He then settled on a farm and at the time of his death owned about 800 acres of land in Plain Tp. He donated the land upon which the Warstler Church is built and was one of the organizers of the same. Our subject was born in Plain Tp., July 27, 1808, and spent his youthful days on the farm where he remained until he was 13 years of age; he then began teaming for his father, hauling goods from Pittsburgh, Pa., to Cleveland O. At the age of 21 he purchased the farm he now lives on, and has remained on the same ever since, with the exceptions of fifteen years he lived on the homestead, and six years in New Berlin. He now owns 180 acres of valuable land in the northern part of the township. In 1829 he married Hannah Platner, who bore him two children, one of whom is living — Sarah, wife of William Bachtel. Mr. and Mrs. Warstler are members of the Presbyterian Church.
