BIOGRAPHY: Pickaway County History Page 365 J. F. Mowery, formerly treasurer of Saltcreek Township, a prominent citizen and leading agriculturist, owns a fine farm of 209 acres which is situated in section 11. Mr. Mowery was born in Saltcreek Township, Pickaway County, Ohio, February 3, 1848, and is a son of John and Rachel (Dunkle) Mowery.
The Mowery family, like many others in Saltcreek Township, came to Ohio from Pennsylvania and was established in Saltcreek Township by John Mowery, the grandfather of our subject, who came here from Berks County, Pennsylvania, when his son John was five years old. The grandfather settled on the very farm which is now owned by J. F. Mowery. Here John Mowery, the second, was reared and spent his whole life, dying in 1876. He was a man who was highly respected and one whose whole life was a credit to his community. Of his children, these survive: Leannah, widow of Elias Crites, living in Allen County, Ohio; Mary widow of John Stout, living in Pickaway County; Rachel, widow of Amos Reichelderfer, living in Delaware County, Ohio; Susan, widow of Peter Myers, living in Stoutsville, Ohio; William H., who is a resident of Circleville; John F., of this sketch; Louisa J., widow of W.H.

Wolf, who was born in Hocking County, Ohio, and was a daughter of Col. S.S. Wolf, who is now a resident of Adelphia, Ohio.

Mr. Mowery was born on the farm still occupied by his surviving family, situated in section 11, Saltcreek Township, Pickaway County, Ohio, July 29,1847, and died there October 20, 1899. He was a son of Peter and Leah (Dunkle) Mowery. The Mowery family was founded in Pickaway County by the grandparents of Lewis Mowery, who came at an early day from Pennsylvania. The Mowery family is now one of the numerous, prosperous and best known families of Saltcreek Township, many of its members having held official position and almost all being large landowners. Lewis Mowery attended the district schools near his father's farm, on which he grew to manhood. He remained at home engaged in tilling the home farm until he was 16 years of age, when the family was broken up by the death of the mother, the father having died when our subject was 11 years old. Lewis was thus early thrown more or less upon his own resources.

McClelland, of Fairfield County, Ohio; Warren, deceased; Howard, of Hocking County; Orpha, widow of Lewis Mowery; Missouri, wife of Judson Wise, of Lancaster, Ohio; and Eli, of Tarlton, Ohio.

Mrs. Mowery, with the assistance of her sons, continues the operation of the farm. Lewis Mowery was a member of the Democratic party. He was a good and fair-minded citizen and on all occasions performed his full public duty. He was a kind husband, a careful father and a helpful neighbor.
