BIOGRAPHY: History of Champaign County, OH John Taylor Journell, one of the prominent members of the city council at Urbana and who is engaged in the general insurance and real estate business in that city, is a native son of Champaign county and has lived here all his life. He was born on a farm in Concord township on July 10, 1859, son of Crockett and Margaret (Taylor) Journell, the former a native of the state of Virginia and the latter of this county, well-to-do and influential residents of that part of the county. Crockett Journell was born at Christiansburg, Virginia, April 4, 1828, and was about two years of age when his parents, John and Sarah Journell, came to this county from Virginia. John Journell bought a tract of land in Concord township, established his home there and there spent the remainder of his life, dying when his son was but five years old and leaving the family with but little of this world's goods. On the pioneer farm settled by his father, Crockett Journell grew to manhood and later started farming on his own account in Concord township, where, after his marriage, he established his home and where he spent the rest of his life, his death occurring on April 3, 1905. He was a good farmer and an energetic and enterprising citizen and became the owner of a fine farm of four hundred and forty acres. He was married to Margaret Taylor on October 10, 1850. He and his wife were the parents of four children, of whom the subject of this sketch was third in order of birth, the others being Mary Etna, wife of George N Kizer, of Urbana; Daniel Webster, who married Sarah Heath, and Flora Violet, deceased. Donald Taylor, maternal grandfather of John Taylor Journell, was born near Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1795, and on February 15, 1815, married Mary McKerrel. They came to America in 1822, settling on Miami street in Urbana, Ohio. Later they located in Clark county eight miles south of Urbana, but in a few years returned to Champaign county, settling on what was known as the John S Taylor farm, three miles northwest of Urbana, now known as the McBeth farm. He died on February 27, 1841. John T Journell was reared on the parental farm in Concord township and received his schooling in the old Spring Run school house. From the days of his boyhood he was a valued assistant to his father in the labors of the home farm and remained at home until after his marriage in 1883, after which he began farming on his own account an d was thus engaged in Concord township until his retirement from the farm and removal to Urbana in October, 1906. Shortly after locating at Urbana, Mr Journell engaged there in the general real estate, loan and insurance business and has ever since been thus engaged, being one of the best known dealers in these lines in this part of the state, having built up an extensive business. Mr Journell is a Republican and has ever given a good citizen's attention to local political affairs. He is now serving his second term as a member of the city council and in toher ways has given of his time and energies to the public service. On October 3, 1883, John T Journell was united in marriage to Nora Hanna, daughter of George Hanna. Mr and Mrs Journell have a very pleasant home at Urbana and have ever taken a proper part in the general social activities of their home town.
