They had four children: William, Henry, Harmon, jr., and Margaret. William, the oldest of the family, was born October 2, 1778. He married Atha Doster, of Virginia, and became a resident of this state in 1810. Their children were : Henry, Harmon, Harriet, Harvey, Hester, Harrison, Huldah, Henrietta, and Heresa.
Harrison Limes is the fourth son and sixth child of William and Athalia (Doster) Limes, and was born July 20, 1816. He was meagerly educated in the common schools of the pioneer days of his time; but by application has added to his scanty store of book knowledge much valuable learning, which classes him among the intelligent men of his township. He was married April 7, 1841, to Eliza, first daughter of Mathew and Hannah (Kinley) Aber, of Highland County, this state; she was born December 15, 1823. The fruits of their union have been four sons and three daughters: William H, born February 16, 1842; Harvey E. E., born May 20, 1843; Harriet Ann, born August 14, 1845; Charles W., born September 17, 1850; Hannah R., born January 9,1849; Winfield S., born January 22, 1855 ; Atha Eliza J., born November 22, 1860.
Mr. Limes has served Perry Township as clerk for several successive years, and is at present serving as justice of the peace, on his fourth term of three years each. His reputation as a magistrate is an excellent one. He practices veterinary surgery extensively throughout the country.
