=====================
Centennial History of Coshocton Co., OH 1909 - Wm J. Bahmer - 1909
George R. Caton, residing on his valuable and well improved farm in White Eyes township, is a native of this township, his birth having here occurred on the 18th of December, 1831 . His parents, Thomas and Mary (Ringer) Caton, who wereboth natives of Greene county, Pennsylvania , were among the earliest settlers of White Eyes township. They passed away in the year 1845. Of their family of nine children, only three survive, namely: George R., of this review; Catherine,the wife of Calvin Ferrell, of Fresno , Ohio ; and Perry, of White Eyes township.
George R. Caton was reared on a farm in his native township and attended the district schools during the winter months. When twenty-four years of age he began farming on his own account by renting a tract of land in White Eyes township,being engaged in its operation for six years. On the expiration of that period he purchased a farm of one hundred and fifteen acres, on which he lived for sixteen years, bringing the land under a high state of cultivation. He builtthereon a commodious and substantial residence and good barns and otherwise improved the place. In 1876 he purchased his present farm of one hundred and twenty-four acres in White Eyes township, giving considerable attention to theraising of cattle, horses and hogs in addition to the work of the fields. He also has a drove of two hundred sheep, and in both his farming and stock-raising interests has met with a gratifying and well merited measure of success. At onetime his holdings comprised two hundred and forty acres of land, but he has since sold a portion of this and now owns one hundred and ninety acres. In 1902 he rented his place and removed to Fresno , but as life on the farm was morecongenial to him and also owing to the fact that his son Grant wished to engage in agricultural pursuits, he returned to his farm in the spring of 1908. The place is now being conducted by the son.
On the 2nd of February, 1855, Mr. Caton was united in marriage to Miss Lucinda McCollum, a native of Crawford township, Coshocton county, who passed away in 1905, when seventy-five years of age. Her parents, Thomas and Sarah (Hughes)McCollum, who were natives of Pennsylvania , were early settlers of Crawford township and reared a family of twelve children. Unto our subject and his wife were born nine children, namely: Lafayette, of West Lafayette, Ohio; Alice, thewife of William Patterson, of Columbus, Ohio; Jane, the wife of John Thomas, of Idaho; Thomas, of the Caton Business College, who makes his home in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Elsworth, residing in Strasburg, Ohio; James, of Parkersburg, WestVirginia; George, living in Detroit; Saloma, deceased; and Grant, at home.
In his political views Mr. Caton is a republican, and has served as township trustee and in face in all local township offices, ever discharging his public duties in prompt and capable manner. He is also acting as trustee in the MethodistEpiscopal church, with which he has held membership relations for the past forty years. Having resided in this county throughout his entire life, or for a period of seventy-seven years, he is well and favorably known here and is a highlyrespected and worthy citizen.
