Narrative

[Biography from The History of Miami County, Ohio, 1880; courtesy of Jeff Stonebraker.]

William T. Stonebraker, farmer and teacher; P.O. West Milton; was born July 5, 1834, and is a son of Arnold S. and Sophia Stonebraker; his father was born in Virginia, and his mother in the State of Maryland; they emigrated to and settled in Champaign Co., Ohio, about 1836; there they made their home and still reside; they are the parents of four children, three of whom are living, viz., Charles, Minerva, and our subject; his father, by occupation, was a miller; young William, after attaining the proper age, attended the district school, and afterward entered the high school in Urbana, in which he prosecuted his studies three years, fitting himself to perform the duties of teaching, the profession he had chosen, and which he followed in his native county from the fall of 1854 to the spring of 1865; after that he taught in Montgomery Co. at irregular intervals for eight terms, three in one district, two in another; has also taught five terms in Miami Co. and one in Darke Co., making in the aggregate fifty-six quarters, for which he has received $6,501.15, and he has paid $370 for baord; the distanced traveled to and from school, 5,740 miles (this does not include travel on foot); he has the saddle yet in his possession, which he claims will do for a few more quarters; in the fall of 1870, he moved to the place in which he now resides; he owns 40 acres of land, which is all in a good state of cultivation, with more than ordinary improvements erected thereon. May 16, 1867, he was married to Emma Baker, by whom he has had four children, viz., Horace G., Claude O., Maurice E. and Edgar A. Mrs. S. is a daughter of Abraham and Elizabeth Baker; her father is dead, but her mother is living, and resides in this township; his father was born March 6, 1811; his mother Oct. 29, 1810; our subject has been a regular attendant at the County Institute, and labors hard to keep himself posted in all new methods of teaching; he is a frequent contributor to the press; in all branches Mr. Stonebraker is well versed, and as an educator he stands at the head of his profession. Mrs. S. was born in this county, Sept. 16, 1849.

Narrative

In The Genealogy of the Steiner Family (L.H. Steiner, B.C. Steiner, 1896), the only child documented as born to William T. Stonebraker and his wife is their eldest son, Horace Grant Stonebraker. I would speculate that, by the time of the book's publication, William and most of his family had moved to central Indiana, making it more difficult for the authors to have researched his family.
