BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES: LIBERTY TOWNSHIP

CHARLES D. LANDON, farmer, P.O. Ada, was born December 10, 1847, in
Portage
County, Ohio. He is a son of James and Ruth (Dudley) Landon, both natives
of Connecticut and of English descent. His father, a carpenter and
farmer,
came to Ohio in 1852 and settled in Liberty Township. Our subject
received
his education at the common schools, and selected the occupation of
farmer,
which he has followed through life. In 1868, he went to Michigan, but
returned in 1870. He was married in 1875 to Sarah M. McElroy, a daughter
of
Thomas and Elizabeth (Morrison) McElroy, the former of Irish and the
latter
of Scotch and Irish descent. Two children have blessed this union-Eva L.
and Grace A. Mr. Landon is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. In
politics, he is a Republican. He is the owner of a fine farm of thirty
acres, and a house and three lots, all secured by his own exertions.
