--- W. A. Pfost was born in Jackson County, West Virginia, January 8, 1837, being the son of Abraham and Elizabeth (Reader) Pfost. He was the third in a family of ten children, and one brother, Henry Clay, is in Montrose. Mr. Pfost was married at the age of twenty-two on February 17, 1859, to Miss Caroline Harrison, sister of Judge J. M. Harrison. In 1869 he came to Henry County and began to farm in Davis Township, where he now lives, having 160 acres of land, nicely situated and well improved. He has been dealing extensively in live stock, and usually feeds two or three car loads of beef cattle and aims to handle a superior grade of stock. More men like our subject is what has made Henry County take its place among the first counties of the state in a comparatively short space of time. Having but a very little property when he came from Virginia a few years ago, he has managed to acquire a fair competency by industry and good management. Mr. Pfost is Democratic in politics, and himself and wife are members of the M. E. Church South. They have a family of eight children: Lewis William (who has married Miss Katie Mullin), Theodore Henry, Geneva, Charlie, Nancy E., Erastus, Maude and an infant.
