JOHN M. THOMAS, farmer, P.O. Rosedale. The subject of this sketch was born October 20, 1834, in Madison County, Ohio. His parents are Benjamin and Melinda Thomas, of Stokes Township, this county. He was reared to manhood on a farm, and received but a limited education. On March 28, 1862, he married Miss Margaret A. Carr, born January 31, 1844, and daughter of Michael and Mary Carr, of Fayette County, Ohio. To them have been born six children, five now living — Mary F., Luella, Melinda O., Milton E., Minnie M., and Samuel F. (deceased). After his marriage for five years he lived in Stokes Township, this county, and from thence he located in Fayette County two years. He then returned to Madison County, and after locating for twelve years in Union Township, finally settled in the western portion of Monroe Township, where he now resides. Mr. Thomas is a member of the Christian Church, and the owner of 140 acres of land in a good state of cultivation.
