CHARLES T. AGNEW, County Commissioner of Mahoning County, and a well-known and highly respected citizen of Boardman Township, residing on a farm, was born November 2, 1861, in Boardman Township, and is a son of Ralph and Elizabeth (Crouse) Agnew, and a grandson of Thomas Agnew.

Thomas Agnew, a native of London, England, remained in that city until 22 years of age, and learned the goldsmith's trade. He then came to America, settling first in Philadelphia, where he became a shoemaker, after he removed to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, where, about 1825, he was married. He subsequently located on a farm in Boardman Township, Mahoning County, on which he and his wife both died. Ralph Agnew was three years old when his parents removed Prom Pittsburg to Boardman. Here he was reared, and married Elizabeth Crouse. They had two children; Frank, a farmer of Boardman township, and Charles T., the subject of this sketch. Mrs. Agnew died in February, 1872; her husband in May, 1893.

Charles T. Agnew, our subject, was reared in Boardman Township and attended the district schools. He has always devoted his time more to stock raising and shipping than to farming, although he owns his farm in this township. He has been married twice, first on December 10, 1885, to Nannie Cowden, who died in August, 1897, leaving two children - Bessie and Irma. He was married the second time on January 6, 1899, to Nettie Hart, by which marriage also there were two children - Thelma and Dan. Mr. Agnew served two terms as trustee of Boardman Township. In the fall of 1895 he was elected county commissioner, on the Republican ticket, and assuming the duties of that office in the fall of 1896, served for three years. In the fall of 1906 he was elected to fill the unexpired term of Thomas B. Jones, who was commissioner at the time of his death. Mr. Agnew is a member of the Knights of Pythias Lodge.
