Notes for Phillip Bemiller:
In 1799, Napoleon seized power in France and in 1806, after defeating the Empire of Austria, he set up the Confederation of the Rhine, which included Phillips Bemiller's homeland. In
1807 at the age of 18, he was drafted into Napoleon' army. Phillip saw service in many battles and upon at least one occasion was severly wounded. Phillip with "Comrade" holding out his hand as if to shake. As Phillip reached for his hand, the villan suddenly shifted positons and charged with his sword. The thrust was warded off but Phillip received a long severe wound in his arm. When asked what he did to the scoundrel, he replied " I cut him down as a weed." As result of his wound he had a terrible scar which served him as a life long reminder of the incident.
Phillip took part in the Russian campaign of 1812. Of the 600,000 men in Napoleon's forces that marched on Moscow only 250,000 returned to their homeland, Phillip being in this number. During the retreat from Moscow, Phillip told of the cold and the hardships. He said that when they got to the great river, (probably the Dnieker), they found it swollen out of it's banks and filled with floating ice and only a small band succeeded in crossing the river.
The end of the Napoleon era took place in 1815 at the Battle of Waterloo when Napoleon was defeated by the British and her allies under the Duke of Wellington. Family tradition is that he obtained the rank of Captain. With his military service over, Phillip must have returned home and married, for his first son , John, was born in 1817.
Phillip came to this country around 1827 with his wife, Catherine, born 21 September 1799 died 14 April 1874, and three sons living for a time in an eastern state probablyMaryland. Family tradition says his wife, Catherine was his second wife not the mother of his sons. Further she had a son , Johanna, who stayed in Maryland when the family moved to Ohio. Phillip was believed to be in Ohio by 1829.In 1833 he purchased 100acres of government land at $1.25 per acre in the southeast corner of Worthington Township, Richland County. He later sold this land and subsequently purchased a substantial farm at the southwest corner of S.R. 97 and Bunker Hill Road. Phillip was the father of three sons : John Bemiller born 14 July 1817 died 19 June 1862, George Bemiller born 19 December 1819 died 31 March 1886 in Elkhart County, Indiana, and Valentine Bemiller 21 May 1823 died 26 December 1896 in Worthington Township.

Notes for Noble Jr. Calhoun:
For eighty-four years, Noble Calhoon traveled life's journy, and each year that passed was warked with good deeds and the record of an honarable career; and in the evening of life he recieved the veneration and respect which should ever be accorded those who live worthily, faithfully performing each duty and following their honest convictions of right and wrong.
He was born November 29, 1816, in Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, his parents being Noble Calhoun Sr , and Sarah Taylor . His father was born near Cork, Ireland, and when about twenty-two years of age, crossed the briny deep to the new world, settling in Pennsylvania, where he followed farming. He there met and married Miss Taylor, a native of that state, and in 1831 they emigrated with their family to Richland County, where the father became the owner of a large tract of land. He was also the proprieter of a mill in this neighborhood, and the conduct of his business affairs gained a good capital. He died when about eighty-four years of age, and his wife passed away when seventy-seven years of age. She was a member of the United Presbyterian Church.
When a youth of fifteen, the subject of our memoir accompanied his parents to Ohio, and ever after that was a resident of Richland County, Ohio. He assisted in the arduous task of transforming the wild lands into richly cultivated farmland, and to his father he gave the benifits of his labor until his marriage, after which he operated the mill for several years. When his father died, he became administrator of his will and settled the estate, and when the proprety was disposed of, Mr. Calhoon bid in his present home of two hundred and twenty-nine acres to which he has subsequently added forty acres. The cultivation of his fields and this improvement of the farm occupied the greater part of his time and energies and in this manner he has added continually to his income, his consistantly argumented capital making him one of the substantual residents of the community.
Mr Calhoon was united in marriage to Eliza Willick , a native of Allegheny county, Pennsylvania. She was a member of the United Presbyterian Church, and died in that faith at the age of sixty- eight years. Mr. and Mrs. Calhoon became the parents of five children:Mary J., the eldest, is the widow of J. Newton Prtchard and resides in Worthington Township. Alexander still occupies the same home place, superintending it's interests. During the civil war, he responded to the call to arms, enlisting on the 2nd of May, 1864 for 100 days as a member of Company D, 163rd regiment of the Ohio Volenteers. For five years he was the postmaster of Butler. He belongs to the Bellville Lodge, No 376, F. & A. M. of Bellville, and is a wide awake, enterprising businessman. Sarah Calhoun Died when 43 years old. D. L. is a farmer in Worthington Township. Margret, the youngest of the family , died at the age of seventeen years.
In his political views, Mr. Calhoon was early a Whig, and on the dissolution of that party and the organization of the Republican party joined the latter. In earlier days he took quite an active part in political affairs, and after serving for two terms as justice of the peace, refused to hold the position any longer. Many years ago he became a member of the Masonic Fraternity of Mansfield, and probobly lived to be the oldest Mason in Richland County, dying October 4, 1900. He was a man of strong individuality, of marked force of charecter, and of decided opinion. He had no use for anything or anyone that he didn't like, and ws very strong in friendship when he believed that it was given to one worthy of it. His career was an active, useful, and honarable one, and his life record contained many lessons that are worthy of emulation.
