REUBEN SLAUGHTER, farmer, P.O. South Solon, was born in Highland County, Ohio, June 9, 824, and is a son of John and Anna (Wright) Slaughter. The former was born in Virginia, in 1783, and the latter was born January 1, 1789. They were married in Highland County, Ohio, where he came as a young man. They remained there for some years, then moved to Madison County, where he remained until his death, which occurred August 7, 1863. His wife died March 17, 1874. Our subject was united in marriage with Matilda Denton, October 9, 1851. She was born in Madison County, Ohio, November 11, 1832. Mr. Slaughter engaged with his father in business, and remained with him until his death, when he began farming on 300 acres of land that was left to him by his father. He has since bought and added to the 300 acres until he owns at the present time 1,228 acres of fine land. He acquired a common school education and has been engaged in trading and selling stock. He and wife are the parents of six children, of whom four survive — Reuben L., born October 11, 1854; James A., born July 9, 1859; Martin M., born August 21, 1861; and Sidney Belle, born September 3, 1864.
