WILLIAM A. LINGLE, a successful stock-raiser and farmer, was born in Ray (now
Ashland) Township, November 16, 1849, and is the second in the family of five be-
longing to Casper and Catherine (Sandy) Lingle, respectively of Dutch and Irish descent.
William worked on his father's farm, and went also to school, when not so engaged,
until manhood.  May 11, 1871, he wedded Martha J., daughter of Hiram Groun, and
this marriage was made happy by two children--Newton D. and Perry E. (deceased).
Mr. Lingle is the possessor of forty acres of land which are in a state of superior cul-
tivation, with good dwelling, barns, stock in variety, a young orchard and every 
necessary improvement for comfort and profit.  Mr. Lingle is a leading Republican,
and has served as Township Assessor one term.  He is a liberal-minded man, and a
promising and enterprising agriculturist.
