A Standard History of ERIE COUNTY, OHIO An Authentic Narrative of the Past, with Particular Attention to the Modern Era in the Commercial, Industrial, Civic and Social Development. A Chron- icle of the People, with Family Lineage and Memoirs BY HEWSON L. PEEKE Assisted by a Board of Advisory Editors VOLUME I THE LEWIS PUBLISHING COMPANY CHICAGO AND NEW YORK 1916
The late Edwin A. Penny was born near Maumee, Ohio, January 28, 1834,.......his parents, Asher and Caroline E. (Bacon) Penny, were natives of Long Island, New York. A few years after their marriage they came west and located near Perrysburg, Ohio, and were pioneer farmers in that vicinity. Asher Penny died there in 1842 at the age of thirty-six. A short time before his death he had come to Erie County and bought seventy-three acres east of Ogontz in Berlin Township. His death threw upon his widow in the responsibilities of a family of six children, the last of whom was born after its father's death, and they had also lost one child before the husband's demise. With this large household she came to the nearly new farm in Erie County, and there did such a part in the rearing and training of her children and providing for their needs as to constitute her one of the noblest of pioneer women. She looked after the management of the farm, improved and cultivated it and in all things her life was so exemplary and fruitful of good that her memory was a blessing to her children. She subsequently went to Amherst in Lorain County, and died there a few years later at the age of seventy-eight. She was a member of the Congregational Church. Edwin A. Penny was the third in the family of seven children. Only two are now living. Edgar, a farmer in Berlin Township, first married Martha L. Gibson, who died leaving him one son, and his present wife was the widow of Doctor Lockwood of Birmingham, Ohio. The other living member of this generation is Ann, wife of John Cook of Charlotte Courthouse, Virginia, and they have three living children.
