Charles M. Tufts

    Charles M. Tufts, farmer, a resident and native of Washington Township, was born February 27, 1842. He was married, July 27, 1865 to Miss Maggie E. Howe, who was born near Marietta, Ohio, April 5, 1842. They had five children: Maud, born October 7, 1866, died September 10, 1867; Edwin G., born September 4, 1867; Arthur D., born March 14, 1870; Willie L., born September 5, 1875; Guy B., born May 23, 1877.

    Mr. Tufts has been an enterprising farmer all through life, and has his broad fields under a good state of cultivation. His excellent residence, and good improvements generally, indicate thrift, of which we feel justified in making mention, as he is always prompt in lending a helping hand to every good work, that is calculated to promote and develop the interests at large of his neighborhood and county. He and his excellent wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
