WHITMORE on September 15, 1846 in Athens County, Ohio ************************************************************************************** JOHN VORE, of La Grange Township, son of Pierson and Cynthia Vore, is the second of a family of eleven children. He was born in Guernsey County, Ohio, May 10, 1824. His early schooling was received in his native county, and when his parents moved to Athens County all was new and wild, and he had very few school privileges after that. The last term of school he attended the lady he afterward married was attending. He remained at home until the date of his marriage, September 15, 1846, when he was united to Zilpha Ann Whitmore, who was one of a pair of twins born July 18, 1823, in Athens County, Ohio. She was the fourth child of a family of eight children. Her twin mate was Cyrus B. Her father, Aaron Whitmore, was born in Connecticut, September 24, 1790, and died in July, 1875. Betsey B. (Warren) Whitmore, was born September 27, 1793, and died January 22, 1885. Immediately after the marriage of our subject he located on a tract of land he bought of his father, and lived upon the same eight years, when he sold out, fitted out two wagons, with horse teams, and started for Harrison County, arriving November 11, 1854. He first located in Twelve-Mile Grove, in Douglas Township, where he bought eighty acres of land, which he lived n until March 29, 1855, at which time he traded his land for a larger tract in Crawford County, and was there until March, 1867, when he rented his land and moved to his present place, selling his Crawford County place two years later. Since he moved to his present place he has erected a house, the upright of which is 16 x 34 feet, with fourteen-foot posts, also an ell 16 x 32 feet, one story high. He has an orchard of two hundred bearing trees, and the total amount of land he owns in Harrison County is six hundred and eighty acres. Mr. and Mrs. Vore have reared a family of six children--John Morris, Pierson E., Margaret L., William O., George W. and Albert A. John Morris is a carpenter at Woodbine; Albert is a farmer in La Grange Township; Pierson lives in Nevada; Margaret died June 29, 1871, aged twenty-seven years; William O., lives in Nevada; and George W. is a locomotive engineer in Minneapolis. When Mr. Vore came to the county he had but little means, and passed through the general hardships co-incident to pioneer life. He well remembers how he and his wife commenced keeping house, with what furniture they had on a sled, and also that small change was very scarce, and he does not believe that he ever spent $5 foolishly until he was past twenty-five years of age. He is now surrounded with all the comforts of life, and contemplates retiring from the farm in the near future. source of biographical sketch: "History of Harrison County, Iowa", 1891, pages 576 - 577
