Per the 1880 census, both parents were born in Ohio. Since George McConnell was born in 1829 and the last known husband of Mercy McConnell, James, died in 1821, the father of George McConnell is unknown.
George McConnell
Agriculture has been the true source of man's dominion on earth ever since the primal existence of labor and has been the pivotal industry that has controlled for the most part an the fields of action to which his intelligence and energy have been devoted.
In a civilized community no calling is so certain of yielding a compensatory return as that which is culled from a kindly soil, albeit the husbandman at times is sorely taxed in coaxing from Mother Earth all that he desires or even expects; yet she is a kind mother and seldom chastens with disappointment the child whose diligence and frugality she deems it but just should be rewarded. The subject of this sketch has found a benefactress in Mother Earth, for he was early deprived of the mother that bore him, and a father he never knew, as he was a posthumous child.
George McConnell, of Jackson township, Kosciusko county, Indiana, is a native of Coshocton county, Ohio, and was born September 26, 1829. He is a son of --and Mercy McConnel1, and, as intimated in the foregoing paragraph, never saw his father, who in life was a farmer. There were twelve children in the family besides himself, and of these the names of ten can be recalled, viz.: Lucinda and Marinda (twins), Margaret, Acie, Andy, Matthias, James, Daniel, Francis and Samuel.
Young George McConnell filially aided his mother in the home place until he was fourteen years old and then went to live with his brother Francis for two years; he next worked on the farm of another brother until he decided to take unto himself a wife. He carried out this happy decision January 27, 1849, by leading to the marriage altar Miss Elizabeth Hunter, also a native of Coshocton county, Ohio, born April 17, 1830, an early playmate of our subject and a daughter of Thomas and Nancy (Hardesty) Hunter. The father, Thomas Hunter, was a native of Ireland, but was a mere lad when brought to America by his parents, who settled in Ohio. The mother was born, reared and died in Coshocton county. She and her husband were the parents of eleven children, eight sons and three daughters, of whom four are living, as follows: Elizabeth (Mrs. McConnell); Sarah, wife of John McQuig, of Grant City, Missouri; Samuel, married, is a horticulturist and lives in Missouri; Pauline is the wife of John McElwee, a farmer of Coshocton county, Ohio. Mrs. McConnell received a good common-school education and later became an ornament to the community in which she was reared to womanhood.
To the congenial union of Mr. and Mrs. McConnell have been born the following named children: Lorenzo D., deceased, Harvey W., Patrick Henry, deceased, John F., Pauline, Elmore, deceased, Grant, deceased, William D., Lettie, Charles and Blanche.
About three years after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. McConnell removed from Coshocton county, Ohio, to Whitley county, Indiana, where Mr. McConnell steadily forged to the front and soon purchased a farm of one hundred and thirteen acres, nearly all of which was covered with a dense growth of timber. This land he cleared and improved and made of it one of the handsomest and most profitable farms in the country. On this farm he lived from 1852 until September, 1882, when he came to Kosciusko county and bought a small place half a mile north of Sidney, on which he still lives and has as cozy a home as there is in Jackson township. He has, moreover, increased his cash capital to about five thousand dollars and all this property and capital :result from his own labor and frugality, assisted by his willing and amicable wife, who deserves much credit for the part she has taken in advancing the prosperity of the family. In January, 1899, Mr. and Mrs. McConnell celebrated the golden anniversary of their wedding, upon that occasion receiving many hearty congratulations from their numerous friends here and elsewhere.
Mr. McConnell, since he became of age, has always taken an active interest in the affairs of the Republican party, with which he is very popular personally and has several times represented the Republicans of his township in their county conventions. He has, however, never sought a public office nor any other reward for his devotion to his party. Mr. and Mrs. McConnell are devout members of the Christian church, which they aid liberally by contributing to its support from their means and the teachings of which they implicitly follow. He stands very high in the esteem of his fellow townsmen and neighbors, and most deservedly so, inasmuch as from a poor boy he has raised himself to a position of consideration and influence, and in this esteem his belJoved wife and children have a full share.
While a distinguished ancestry may amount to much and notable family connections have great influence in advancing a man's career, the history of the country gives many instances of the prominence of the present generation over the obscurity of the preceding, and when natural abilities and an unborn spirit of progress are added, success in life is almost sure to be the result, and this fact has been exemplified in the career of George McConnell, who, unaided by the prestige of a brilliant ancestral history, at least as far as it is known in this, his native country, has made himself what he is without any such extraneous advantage, great as it is in the life of him who is fortunate enough to possess it.
