  [S8072387439] A Biographical Record of Clark County, Ohio, (The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, New York and Chicago, 1902), 517, 518, 519. Henry Nawman, deceased, was born in German township during the early period of Clark county’s development and through more than sixty years [sic] was known as a leading and representative citizen of his community. His natal day was July 16, 1817, his birth occurring on the farm which is still occupied by his widow. His parents were Thomas and Catherine (Baker) Nawman, who were pioneer settlers of German township and aided in laying broad and deep the foundation for the present prosperity and progress of this portion of Ohio. Henry Nawman acquired a good common school education, pursuing his studies through the winter months when his services were not needed on the home farm. He lived in the usual manner of farmer lads of that period, taking his place as a hand in the fields at an early age, and thus he gained a broad and practical experience of farm work. On the 29th of March, 1855, Mr. Nawman married Miss Ingebee Jane Rhonemus, of Clark county, who was born in Clinton county, Ohio, August 17, 1834, a daughter of William and Matilda (Clark) Rhonemus. Her father was born and reared in Clinton county, while her mother’s birth oicurred [sic] in Virginia, where she remained until she attained to womanhood. Both were well educated people and successfully engaged in teaching in early life. After their marriage the father turned his attention to farming, while Mrs. Rhonemus continued her work as a teacher for a number of years. Removing to Indiana Mr. Rhonemus purchased land there, but on account of poor health he could not till his fields and therefore returned to Clinton county, Ohio, whence he afterward came to Clark county. Mrs. Nawman had resided in this county about two years prior to her marriage. She was taken as a bride to the home farm upon which she now resides, Mr. Nawman having inherited about seventy acres of land here. His parents made their home with the young couple until called to their final rest. As the years passed, children to the number of twelve were added to the family. Clara is now the wife of John Kunkle, of Clark county, and they have eight children. Samuel G. is married and has one child. Thomas wedded Alice Hinkle, by whom he had four children, and for his second wife he chose Mrs. Mary Yerkle, nee Baker. Lousia died at the age of fourteen years and six months. William is living in the west. Mary died at the age of fifteen years. Webster married Mrs. Elizabeth Hinkle, in Donovan, and they have three children. Catherine became the wife of Charles Wey and has one child. Matilda married Albert Greene and with their two children they reside in Clark county. Amanda is the wife of Jesse Belt, of Springfield, and has two children. Andrew married Leah Harris and they have four children. Henry wedded Emma Collison and they have two children. In his political views Mr. Nawman was a Democrat in early life, but subsequently became a Republican and was fearless in defense of his honest convictions. He was a man of medium height, heavy build, with light hair and blue eyes. Being of a rather reserved nature he made friends slowly, but he never lost one, and his family and friends knew him as a pleasant, genial gentleman, of generous disposition. He was always willing to aid in good and worthy causes and the sterling traits of his manhood were such as are well worthy of emulation. He carried on farm work until his death, which occurred June 24, 1870. When he died there were twelve children n the family, the eldest being little more than fourteen years of age, while the youngest was only three weeks old. The mother, with brave and resolute spirit, kept them all together until they were grown, giving to each a fair common school education. It was almost a herculean task and her neighbors predicted that she could not do it, but by great perseverance and untiring labor she accomplished it and she certainly deserves the gratitude and love of her children for what she did for them. She is a most estimable lady and has furnished to the world a worthy example of devoted and self-sacrificing motherhood. [S560402620] 1850 United States Census.
