Inscription: Allebaugh, Elmer B., 1872-1921 (with wife Olive Jacobs)
Memoirs of the Miami Valley (1919)
Volume 3, Biographical, Logan County - Page 24
"Elmer Allebaugh, a well-known and progressive farmer residing in McArthur township, was born in Pleasant township, Logan county, April 1, 1872, a son of Edwin and Eliza (Campbell) Allebaugh, natives of this county. The family was founded in Ohio by Aaron Allebaugh, grandfather of Elmer, who emigrated from Pennsylvania at an early day and located at Logansville, where he was engaged in the tanning business during the remainder of his life and was one of the community's widely-known citizens. Edwin Allebaugh grew to manhood in the western part of Logan county, and was still a young man when he volunteered for service in the Union army during the Civil war. In that struggle he saw more than three years' fighting, and while he came through safely, his experiences undoubtedly affected his health, as he was still in the prime of life when his death occurred in 1875. During his career he had been a farmer in McArthur township and was a man who was universally respected. His estimable wife survived him until 1915. They were the parents of three children: McColly, Fidelia and Elmer, of whom the last-named is the only one now living. Elmer Allebaugh was but three years of age when his father died and his education was confined to attendance at the country schools in Pleasant township. After completing his schooling, he secured a position as a section hand in the employ of the Big Four Railway, subsequently rising to foreman, and was then made track supervisor, a position which he retained for a period that brought his total railway service up to twenty years. Mr. Allebaugh, a natural son of the soil, then turned his attention to farming in Bloomfield township. After several years there he moved to Bellefontaine and in 1919 came to his present home in McArthur township, where he has 116 acres of highly-improved and productive land, on which he carries on general farming and stock raising with gratifying success. In 1891 Mr. Allebaugh married Olive, daughter of John and Minerva (Wiles) Jacobs. Mr. and Mrs. Allebaugh have no children of their own, but are rearing an adopted daughter Pearl. Mrs. Allebaugh was born in Pleasant township, while her father was a native of Pennsylvania and her mother of Miami county, Ohio. John Jacobs came to Logan county as a boy and was clerking in a general store at Logansville when the Civil war broke out. He enlisted in the 122nd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and was later transferred to the 191st Regiment, with which he served until the close of the struggle. At that time he returned safely to his home and during the remainder of his life was engaged in farming. He and his wife had six children, of whom four are living: Ella, Effie, William and Olive. Mrs. Allebaugh is a member of the Baptist(page 25)church. Mr. Allebaugh is a Republican, but not a politician. As a fraternalist he has passed through the chairs of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Junior Order of United American Mechanics and holds membership in the Masonic Blue Lodge. He is making a success of his farming operations, and has won a reputation for enterprise and stability of character."
