John Shengle, deceased, was born in Chester Co., Penn., March 6, 1797. He was one in a family of nine born to Martin and Elizabeth (Moonshower) Shengle, who were also natives of Pennsylvania. When 17 years of age, John left the home farm, and commenced working at the stone mason's trade, a business he followed until his marriage with Mollie Bucher which took place about 1819 in Lancaster County. His wife was a daughter of Jacob Bucher, a family well known in that county. He lived in Pennsylvania, farming until 1834, when he moved to Stark Co., O., locating in Nimishillen Township, on the farm now owned by J.B. Draime. The farm at that time was only about one-third cleared, and after his settlement, Mr. Shengle commenced clearing and improving the place, and soon erected a saw mill, which for many years was the leading saw mill in the neighborhood. Mr. Shengle was a man of considerable ingenuity, and while he did not profess to be a master mechanic of any kind, he always did the harness and shoe-making for his own family, and to some extent for his neighbors also. To his union with Miss Bucher, there were born -- Susan, Sarah, Nancy, Mary, Elizabeth, B.F., Jacob, and J.B. Mr. Shengle died February 23, 1872.
