SOLOMON DULY, of Perry township, is a native of Wayne county, Ohio, born November 27, 1838.  His father, JOHN DULY, was born in Pennsylvania, and emigrated to Ohio, and in 1849 settled in Perry township on the farm where SOLOMON now lives.  Here he died June 14, 1874.  He began life in the Perry township woods with about $900, and succeeded in becoming the owner of 240 acres of good land.  He was one of the leading citizens, and he and his wife, whose maiden name was ELIZABETH ELY, were highly esteemed.  Their son, SOLOMON, received his education in the log school-houses, now passed away.  On December 14, 1871, he was married to LUCINDA, daughter of GEORGE and MARGARET (KAIRGER) BOWSER, early settlers who came from Ohio about 1836 and settled on land which they entered from the government.  This union was blessed with 2 children: 

 

HARRY E., and EDNA I. 

 

Mrs. Duly was born July 14, 1842.  She was a member of the United Brethren Church.  Mr. Duly has a fertile and well improved farm of 80 acres.
