His parents were natives of Vermont and New York, respectively, and came to Harrison county in July, 1868, locating in the Soldier valley, in Jackson township. His parents made their home in this county until 1894, when they moved to Arkansas, where they only lived three years, moving from that state to Burr Oak, Jewel county, Kansas, where the father is still living. The mother died on April 6, 1912. Milton Silsby was a soldier in the Civil War, serving in a New York regiment. John O. Silsby was one of ten children born to his parents and the eldest son. He was only two years of age when his parents located here and, consequently, received all of this education in the schools of this county. He remained at home until he was twenty-one years of age, and then rented land for two years. Following this, he bought one hundred and forty acres, in Spring Valley township, Monona county. He remained there for about three years. He disposed of his farm there, and bought one hundred and sixty acres in Allen township until the spring of 1915, when he retired to Pisgah, his property, however, is still under his supervision. As he has been able, from year to year, he has added to his original holdings and now has five hundred and sixty acres, located in sections 18 and 19, of Allen township. In the summer of 1898, he built his present commodious house of eleven rooms and since then has added many modern conveniences to it on the farm. He has large barns, extensive granaries and all of the buildings which are demanded by the twentieth-century farmer. In many respects, his farm is one of the best improved in the township, and few farmers in the county have met with a greater measure of success in all lines. He is an extensive stock raiser and averages about three carloads of hogs and four carloads of cattle each year, which always bring the highest market price.
