CEPHAS PANCAKE (deceased) was born in this county February 21, 1819. He was the son of Joseph and Susan (Linton) Pancake. The family emigrated from Virginia and settled in Range Township, this county, at a very early day.

In 1860, he moved into Oak Run Township where in course of time he became a large land-holder. He was a very popular man and was known throughout the county as one of the most enterprising farmers and stock-raisers. His death took place October 12, 1874.
