Alfred Todhunter
Alfred Todhunter, farmer and stock raiser, was born on the farm which he now occupies, one and a half miles southeast of Martinsburg, on the 22d of July, 1819. On the 28th of May, 1846, he married Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. John King. To them have been born five children: John T., Sarah P., Robert M., James R., and Rachel M. Of these, Sarah is dead ; John, Robert, and James are married, and reside in this township; and Rachel lives with her parents.
Mr. and Mrs. Todhunter are consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He belongs to the Odd-fellows, having regularly passed all the chairs in a creditable manner.
Though they commenced life poor, by industry and economy they have amassed a competence, and own one hundred and twenty acres of good land, well improved, and beautifully located. In addition to this, they have one hundred and thirty-eight acres near Martinsburg, on which his sons live, and one hundred acres in Kansas. Being out of debt, Mr. Todhunter is contented and happy.
Mr. Todhunter's father, Richard Todhunter, a native of Virginia, came to Ohio probably in 1810, and died in 1867, ninety years old. His mother survived her husband a few years.
