J. H. Lombard
J. H. Lombard, farmer, P. O. Plain City, was born March 24, 1816, and was a son of Jesse and Olive (Carlton) Lombard, natives of Vermont, the former of English and the latter of German descent. They emigrated to Ohio in 1827, and, in 1829, located in Madison County, where they spent the remainder of their lives. Our subject received a common-school education, and at an early age learned a trade which he followed with success until in an accident he lost his right arm. Since then he has devoted his time to farming. In 1828, he married Jane Owen, a native of Ohio, of Welsh descent, by whom he has six children, viz., James, Jesse (a soldier in the rebellion), Olive, Jane, Duncan and Estelle. Mr. Lombard's grandfathers on both his father's and mother's side, were soldiers in the Revolutionary war.
