JACKSON ORCUTT. farmer, P. 0. London, was born in Ross Township, Greene Co., Ohio. He is a son of B. and Mary
A. (Miller) Orcutt. who came to Ohio in 1820, and settled in Greene County, where they remained until their death,
he May 27, 1871, in his seventy fourth year, and she January 2. 1846, in her forty eighth year. The father was
a very religious man, and took great delight in his Bible, which was his constant companion, and a source of much
pleasure and comfort to him. His opinions were always founded on the truth as found in the Gospel, and they were
so sound in theory as to be seldom questioned. His walk through his long and eventful life may well serve as an
example to his posterity, and he true Christian spirit manifested by him will ever shine as a beacon light to guide
them in the path of rectitude and morality. He died in the full hope of a complete salvation, without aught to
regret in his well spent life. Our subject received an ordinary education in Greene County, and has passed one
third of his life in a saw mill with his brother, the rest of his life having been devoted to farming. He was married
to Ruth Watson, a daughter of Samuel Watson, by whom he has had a family of five children - Leroy, Clinton, Olive,
Edgar and Viola. Mr. Orcutt started in life with $1 in money: he now owns 100 acres of good land, well improved
and under a high state of cultivation. He is a Republican in politics, and he and his wife are members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
