      THOMAS B. SKEELES, farmer, P. O. Sherodsville, Carroll County, Ohio, was born in Carroll County December 27, 1823, and is a son of Isaac and Harriet (Belknap) Skeeles, the former a native of Maryland, the latter from near Smithfield, Jefferson County, Ohio. His father was a farmer and came to Ohio in an early clay, dying at the age of eighty years. Our subject obtained his education at the common and the high schools of Carroll County, and was a teacher for several years. In 1846, he was united in marriage with Miss Ann Rebecca Smith; she was born in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, April 21, 1825. Her father. H. W. Smith, was a native of Maryland and a pioneer of this county; his occupation was farming and merchandising. To Mr. and Mrs. Skeeles have been born eight children, of whom five have survived-C. M., born May 25, 1848, married to Ann, daughter of Dr. Willingman, of New Cumberland, Tuscarawas County; Thomas William, married to Maggie, daughter of James Cotter. of Carroll County: Luella J., wife of J. F. Leggett: Oreta S., married to S. A. Lamasters; and E. M., at home. Our subject has resided in this county for about fifty years. He was raised in a family of eight children: his brother David, now a resident of Idaho, was a Captain and subsequently a Major during the late war. Mr. Skeeles has served his township as Trustee, and was Enrolling Officer of Warren Township. In politics, he is a Republican, and, with his wife, is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, where he has been a class-leader and steward for years. He owns 124 acres of well-improved land in Union Township. which he has brought under a high state of cultivation.
