_______________________________________________
The present postmaster of Denver post office-Guy FARNSWORTH-was born in the State of Pennsylvania, in 1837. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to Cleveland, Ohio, and later to Liverpool, Medina County, where Guy obtained his education. He first attended the common schools and then spent two terms at Baldwin's Institute, Barea, Ohio. Upon leaving school, he learned the machinists' trade of his father, and followed this occupation at different points until 1857, when he came to Bremer County, landing in Janesville on the 15th day of September. On the 14th day of December (same year), he entered the employ of Holmes, Kelly & Kay, who, at the time were building a steam sawmill, remaining with this company, working at his trade, until 1861. During the fall of that year he opened a blacksmith shop, in a building erected by himself for that purpose. In September, 1862, he enlisted in Company B, 14th Iowa Infantry, and served until honorably discharged in December, 1865. Upon receiving his dismissal from se rvice, he returned to Jefferson city, and engaged in his present business. He was united in wedlock June 6, 1866, to Miss Elizabeth McHenry, who was born in Indiana. Four children have blessed this union, three of whom are now living. Mr. FARNSWORTH is a member of the Liberal League of Northern Iowa, In the year 1877 he was appointed postmaster of Denver postoffice, and still holds that office with great credit.

Guy's exact place of birth is not clear. His Declaration for Pension states that he was born in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania but his obituary says that he was born near Erie, Pennsylvania.

I am searching for information on the Edward INMAN family who were in the Medina census in 1850 in Harrisville Twp. His widow and children were in Lodi in the 1860 census. (L.B. INMAN listed as head of family - this would have been Laura). They were the parents of Mary (b. 1841, d. 1859), George, Henry, Rose (m MOSSMAN), Nettie (Sarah Jennette) m. BREESE, and Julia Ann (my greatgrandmother) who married 1) NEELINGS and 2) HOLCOMB.
Were there newspapers giving death notices/obituaries in 1859/60? Edward is believed to have been the brother of Noah INMAN who married Mary DICKENSON in Medina County in 1850. I am most interested in information on their parents and possible other siblings. Edward was born in 1815 or 1817 in Ohio. Any information anyone might provide, or any ideas on how I might search for this Medina County info from Washington State would be appreciated. I am willing to pay for research if there is someone available in Medina County to do so.

Does anyone know about the SPENCER families that lived in Granger, Medina County in the early 1800's? My gggrandfather Giles Aaron Spencer, said that he was born there in 1825. According to the Census records for 1820 and 1830 there were three Spencer families living in the area. I don't know which family Giles belonged to. He married Harriet Rice in the early 1850's and they had one son, Charles, who was born, so he said, in Allegan County, Michigan. So, I don't know whether Giles and Harriet were married in Ohio or not, but one source said that Harriet also was born in Ohio. I have not been able to find their parents names and so have not been able to continue my line. Can anybody help?
