As printed in 1884

WILLIAM F. POOL, son of James M. and Mary E. Pool, was born in Richland County, Ohio, July 23, 1848. He came to this county in 1851, and settled in Crane Township with his parents, where they still reside. Mr. Pool obtained a good education in the public schools, closing his literary pursuits at the age of twenty-five. He began teaching at the age of nineteen and continued at intervals in that profession for eight years. In 1872, he began the study of law under the instruction of Henry Maddux, of Upper Sandusky, and was admitted to the bar to practice in Common Pleas Courts in 1874. He was engaged one year in the High School of Upper Sandusky, and began the practice of the legal profession in 1875, which occupation he has since continued to pursue. He first formed a partnership with George G. Bowman, which existed eighteen months, and subsequently practiced one year with Adam Kail, this partnership being dissolved by the death of Mr. Kail in December, 1881. Since the above date he has continued his profession independently, and has established a fair practice. Mr. Pool was married March 16, 1874, to Anna Eaton, daughter of James and Oresta Eaton, and three children have been born to them: Barley E., born February 14, 1876; James C, October 11, 1877; and Howard L., July 10, 1880. Mr. Pool is an energetic business man, and in politics, a stanch Republican.
