JOHN FLORENCE, farmer, P.O. Plain City. The subject of this sketch was born October 5, 1843, in Madison County, Ohio. His parents are Robinson and Elizabeth Florence, of Paint Township, this county. After receiving a rudimentary education, our subject, in the fall of 1862, entered the Ohio Wesleyan University, at Delaware, in which institution he remained for one year. On September 16, 1875, he married Miss Blanche Morgridge, daughter of Joshua B. and Harriet Morgridge. This union has been blessed with two children — Mary M., born August 6, 1876; and Walter T., born May 31, 1878. After his marriage, Mr. Florence resided in Paint Township one year, when he settled in the northeastern portion of Monroe Township, where he now lives. He is the owner of 230 acres of land located partly in Monroe and Canaan Townships.
