N. Hamner, a farmer near Ostrander, is a son of James and Ann (Gay)
Hamner, natives of Virginia, of English descent, and was born in the
Old Dominion October 23, 1850 . He was reared on a farm in Virginia,
where his parents reside, and attended the common schools of his native
county. In 1878, he came to Ohio and located in Delaware County, where
he remained until 1881, when he purchased forty-eight sores of land
five miles northwest of Ostrander, at $60 per acre, on which he
resides. On January 13, 1874, he married Willa, daughter of Benjamin
and Susan (Brown) Childress, of Virginia. By this union two children

obtained the whole of his substance by his own personal efforts. His
