  • Notes 
    • In the 1850 Columbiana County, Ohio Census, John is 14 and resides with his mother and step-father in Centre Township. His surname is misspelled as "Stinebaugh".

      In the 1870 Ohio Cenus, John and Harriet reside in Hanover Twp.. Their children, identified as "Annie", age 9 (Hannah) who is "At School", "Strewin", age 7, who is also "At School", "Emma" (Amy Ruth?) age 3, and Ellen, age 1, and Harriet's mother, Hannah "Idenire" reside with them.

      John's son, Strewen, the informant for his death certificate, stated that John was born in Columbiana County though John himself listed his place of birth as Stark County on his Civil War Pension Application.

      John was married to his second wife at the time of his death.

      John was a Civil War veteran. According to the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Pensions, John was a PVT of Company K 115 Regiment, Ohio Volunteers, who enrolled on 12 August 1862 at Hanover for three years. He was awarded an honorable discharge on 22 June 1865 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee having been "...disabled by chronic diarrhea resulting in disease of stomach kidneys and piles contracted also in the winter of 1865 at Murfreesboro, Tennessee."

      John's personal description at the time of his enlistment was: "Thirty-two years. Height five feet and ten inches. Complexion Dark. Hair Light. Eyes Blue."

      His pension papers indicate that he resided in Hanover Twp., Columbiana County, Ohio since his disharge and "...his occupation has been that of a laborer..."

      His widow's Declaration of a Widow for original Pension states that John died of Chronic gastritis due to his military service.

      On his Pension Application which John signed on 20 Dec 1897, he spelled his surname STOMBAUGH.

      John's obituary in a local Columbiana County newspaper published in December 1917 and kept on file at Lepper Library in Lisbon, Ohio states the following:

      "AGED MAN DIES AT HANOVERTON"

      "John Stambaugh, aged 84 years, one of the oldest and most widely known residents of Hanoverton, died at his home there a few days ago, death being due to old age. There are surviving three daughters, Mrs Stackhouse, of Salem, Mrs. Geisman of Ravenna [actually Diezman] and Mrs. Hannah Drake of Hanoverton. A son lives in Youngstown. Two brothers also survive: Strawn Stambaugh, of Alliance and Jacob Stambaugh of Salineville."

      "The decesaed was for many years engaged in the manufacture of pumps in Hanoverton, and the old town pump, which has stood in the village for more than 25 years was made by him and is still in use."

      "The funeral took place Wednesday and burial was made in Trinity cemetery."


      His tombstone at Trinity Reformed Cemetery in Hanover Township, Columbiana County, Ohio states "Father" and bears an 1861-1865 marker. He and his wife, Harriet, are buried next to each other.
