Abram Lashuay was born in Liberty Township, October 4, 1866, son of Alexander Elixir and Charity Mercer Lashuay, the former of whom, a native of Michigan, came during his boyhood to Wood County, and was married in Liberty Township. The children born to this union were Abram M.; Hattie, deceased wife of William Kidd, of Portage Township; Dana Cline, who died in infancy; and Clarence, at home.
Under the parental roof our subject spent his boyhood days, and attended the common schools of the neighborhood until 18 years of age, when he entered the Normal School at Ada, Ohio, pursuing his studies there for three terms. He then returned home and resumed farm labor on the old Homestead, being thus employed until he went to home with his own. He was married November 24, 1887, to miss Luella McMahan, who was born in Liberty Township June 29, 1867, daughter of George and Emily Bradshaw McMahan. Her father, a farmer, died in 1874, leaving one child, Mrs. Lashuay; Benjamin Franklin, her brother, died in infancy.
Mr. and Mrs./away at the time of their marriage located on a tract of land of 80 acres, which she had inherited from her father, and there lived about three years. They next removed to an 80 acre farm, of which Abram had inherited 10 acres from his father. He now controls entire amount, and his wife rents her property, on which are eight producing oil wells. Their union has been blessed with two children, Flossie B.,born November 1, 1888; and Eldon Stanley, born August 20, 1893.
Mr. Lashuay was a supporter of the Republican Party until 1892, after which he was a stalwart advocate of the Prohibition party, until the "money question" came up, when he returned to the Republican Party. The religious faith he holds membership with is the Disciples Church and he takes quite an active part in his work.
