Nancy was 46 (born December 1853) and had three children, of which only one was living. Clement O. Meek died on August 31, 1899, leaving a widow, Lillie H. (Barrows) and a child, Laura Beatrice, 2, who were living with David and Nancy in 1900. Lillie was only 20 years old and a widow. Completing the family was their youngest son, David C., 14, working as a farm laborer, probably his father's right hand man. DAVID C. MEEK. This worthy representative of the agricultural interests of Hicksville township, Defiance county, owns a good farm of one hundred and sixty acres in Section 12, which has been transformed by him into a highly-cultivated tract. He is one of Ohio's native sons, having been born in Columbiana county, January 1, 1824. His parents were James and Ann (Cooper) Meek, the former probably a native of Ohio, born in 1801, the latter of Pennsylvania, born in 1798. Both died in Columbiana county, this State, the father in 1845, the mother in 1873 or 1874. David C. Meek and his twin brother, Samuel Meek, of Hicksville township, were the eldest in a family of fourteen children, and were three years of age when the family removed from Columbiana county to Beaver county, Pennsylvania. After seven years spent in that State, however, they returned to Columbiana county, where our subject grew to manhood, remaining upon the home farm until he had attained his twenty-second year. Two years later he went to California, where he successfully engaged in mining for four years, and soon after his return to Ohio he purchased his present farm in Section 12, Hicksville township, Defiance county. He did not remain long in the East, however, returning to California at the end of a year. This time he spent twelve years on the Pacific slope, and met with fair success in his mining operations. Since then he has made his home uninterruptedly upon his present farm, and to its development and improvement he has devoted his energies, erecting thereon good and substantial buildings. In Hicksville township, on June 22, 1871, Mr. Meek was married to Miss Nancy Jane Beltz, who was born in Crawford county, Ohio, December 15, 1852, and is the second in order of birth in a family of five children. Her parents, William W. and Mary A. (Good) Beltz, were natives of Pennsylvania, whence in the early "sixties" they came to Defiance county, Ohio, locating in Hicksville township, where they both died, the father in 1874 at the age of forty-seven years, the mother in 1894, when sixty-five years old. To Mr. and Mrs. Meek have been born three children: Eva A., who died at the age of six months; Clement O., born July 23, 1873; and David C., born December 22, 1884. Of these Clement was married August 31, 1897, to Lillie Barrows, and they have one child, Laura Beatrice Meek, born June 8, 1898. Clement and his father are both Republicans in politics. Samuel Meek, the great-grandfather of our subject, was of Irish descent; his wife reached the patriarchal age of ninety-nine years. Samuel Meek, son of the above, and grandfather of our subject, was born in Pennsylvania in 1765, and married Elizabeth Nichols. Mrs. Meek's grandfather, Christopher Beltz, and his wife, Catherine (Beck), were both born in Pennsylvania; he died in about i860, but she survived him several years.
