PETER BASH, farmer ; P. O. Bucyrus was born July 22, 1819, in Schuylkill Co., Penn., and is the son of Jacob and Mary (Whetstone) Bash. His parents removed to Stark Co., Ohio, when he was but 5 months old. They remained there until his 10th year, when they removed to Bucyrus. His mother dying in 1834, and his father in 1838, he was left somewhat under the care of his grandfather, who entered land in the vicinity of Annapolis, this county. The grandmother of our subject was the first person ever interred in the cemetery of Annapolis.

He was married Sept. 17, 1839, to Susannah Cover, daughter of Samuel Cover, living one mile east of Annapolis. He lived in the vicinity of Annapolis until some 25 years ago, when he removed to his present farm in Holmes Township. Of his marriage, there were born-Samuel, Jacob, Elizabeth, Rebecca, Peter L. and Susannah, all of whom are living; Mary E. married Jacob Seibert Feb. 8, 1873, and died on May 7, 1874; Albert and Henry died in infancy. Four children are married and live near their father. Samuel was married some three years ago, and removed to Huntington Co., Ind.

Mr. Bash is a prominent man in his township, and has filled several important offices of trust and responsibility in both townships where he has resided. He is a member of the Dunkard Church, his grandfather having been a Dunkard preacher, and a man highly esteemed.
