5539. John C. Shafer
John C. ShaferOCCUPATION: Teacher, Farmer
RESIDENCES: From 1902, Orange Twp., Ashland Co., OH, per Rita Bone Kopp.
(Source: "Family Research in Monroe County, Ohio," by Catharine Foreaker Fedorchak, Vol. V, p. 163)BIOGRAPHY: John C. Shafer
John C. Shafer owns and cultivates a good farm of seventy acres in Orange township [Ashland County, OH] and is numbered among the representative agriculturists of the community. He was born April 22, 1866, in Monroe county, Ohio, and is a son of Isaac W. and Pluma (Conger) Shafer. The father also followed the occupation of farming and both he and his wife are still residents of Monroe county.Spending his boyhood days under the parental roof, John C. Shafer was early trained to the work of the fields and pursued his education in the district schools and the county normal. He engaged in teaching for thirteen years in the country schools, and was quite successful, imparting readily and clearly to others the knowledge he had acquired, and thus contributing to the intellectual progress of the community. Since February 1902, he has resided in Orange township and now has seventy acres of good land which he has brought under a high state of cultivation. He carefully tills his fields according to the modern methods of farming and as a result annually gathers good harvests as a reward for his industry and perseverance.
On the 6th of February 1890, Mr. Shafer was united in marriage to Miss Campie Moose, a daughter of John J. and Sarah (Early) Moose, of Monroe county, Ohio. Her father served his country as a soldier in the Union army in the Civil war and was wounded in the battle of Gettysburg.
Unto Mr. and Mrs. Shafer there were born four children: Bessie, a school teacher; Crystal; Myrtle; and Opal, but the third daughter has passed away.
The parents are well known in Orange township where their genuine worth has won them many friends and gained for them the hospitality of the best homes of the community in which they reside.
Mr. Shafter has been somewhat active in public life. He has never ceased to feel the deepest interest in the cause of education, has served as president of the school board and for two years has been its clerk. In this connection he has done effective work in the interests of education. He also belongs to a teacher's organization and is a member of Mohican Lodge, No. 87, I.O.O.F., at Ashland and of the encampment.
He gives his political allegiance to the democratic party, keeps well informed on the questions and issues of the day and does all in his power to promote the growth and insure the success of democractic principles. He is now serving as a member of the county central committee and was clerk of the county election board in Monroe county. He has likewise frequently been a delegate to the county conventions and his opinions carry weight in the local councils.
His religious faith is indicated in his membership in the Christian church, to which his family also belong. He takes an active and helpful interest in the church work, is serving as one of the deacons and is a worker as well in the Sunday school.
He is justly regarded as an intelligent, progressive citizen, favoring everything that is good and practical and lending helpful aid to many measures which have been of marked benefit in promoting the interests and upbuilding of the county.
