Description |
This portrait shows Cornelius Spring of Fulton County. Milton and Eunice A. Hall-Spring came from Portage County, OH in 1853 and settled at 'Spring Hill' in section 32 of Dover Township, Fulton County, OH. The village there was created in the 1840s by Mortimer D. Hibbard, and later renamed, 'Tedrow'. The five Spring children were, Ellen (1837-1920), Sylvester (1840-1917), Cornelius M. (Dec. 13,1842-November 23, 1916), Nial (1847-1913), and Sarah (1853-1859). The Spring family lived in a two story log home that was replaced by a wood frame two-story home in 1894. Cornelius married Sarah Ann Eldredge, from the village of Spring Hill. He served in the Civil War as a corporal in company H. of the 86th Ohio Regiment Volunteer Infantry. His brother, Nial C. Spring served as a private in company I of the 67th Ohio Regiment Volunteer Infantry. Two children were born of Cornelius and Sarah: Florence Spring (Maddox) and Everett E. Spring, who was a county commissioner for two terms. A daughter of Everett, Mary lived in Wauseon, OH. After Sarah died, Cornelius married Emma Knapp, who had a daughter from her previous marriage. |
