Samuel Augspurger Memoir - The subject of this memoir was born on the 10th day of March, 1825, in Milford Township, Butler County, Ohio. His father, Christian Augspurger, with his family, moved from Milford Township, on the 1st day of April, 1830, to Madison Township, and settled on a farm of two hundred and fifty acres. Here he erected a distillery, and carried on farming with his six sons and six daughters. By good management and industry he acquired about three sections of land and a large personal estate. He died on the 4th day of October, 1848, and his property was equally divided among eleven heirs, and to the satisfaction of them all. He was born, in 1782, at St. Maria, France; he married, in 1805, Catherine Hunter. His occupation was farming a large tract of land near Strasburg, France. He conducted himself to the satisfaction of the government, and was presented with the medal of honor, "Flower de Luce", dated October 1, 1814. This medal and document are now in the possession of his son Samuel. In 1817 he came to the conclusion to emigrate to America, the seek a permanent home for himself and his children. After crossing the Atlantic and the Allegheny Mountains three times, he settled in the Great Miami Valley in 1819. Samuel Augspurger was married, on the 20th day of March, 1855, to Eliza Holly (who was born, July 31, 1830, in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, and came with her parents to America in 1832).

He is one of the largest stockholders of the Beckett Paper Company Works. The Augspurger family is one of the most numerous, wealthy, and conspicuous in this portion of Ohio. One hundred at least bear the name within the limits of this County, and all or nearly all live within the circuit of a few miles. Thousands of acres of the best land of the Miami Bottom can be seen accredited to them upon the maps of Madison, St. Clair, and adjacent townships. Health, industry, frugality, and clear-sighted financiering are their predominating traits.

EBENEZER PUNDERSON AVERY settled, about 1790, on the so-called Royal Grant, in Herkimer County, New York, where he built and operated a grist mill, which was then believed to be farthest west of any mill for grinding corn on the American continent. After a few years he located at Pompey, where the remainder of his life was spent. Peculiarly fitted by nature for a pioneer, Mr. Avery was among the first in any enterprise to improve the minds, morals or physical condition of his fellow men; the Church, school and public library found in him an ardent supporter. His patriotism secured him a place as Captain of the Militia; his integrity as administrator for many a widow and orphan; and his love of justice made him frequently the arbiter in the disagreement of his neighbors. His inventive facilities were large, and he was almost constantly employed in building grist mills, fulling mills, carding machines, tanneries, cider mills, and threshing machines. At least three of his children, William, Cyrus and Samuel, inherited his bent for mechanics.

WILLIAM AVERY had inventive faculties that were of a very large order. The invention by which he is best known was the rotary engine, for years believed to be the simplest and cheapest in the world. In 1822, he built a small steamboat, which operated on Lake Cazenovia, and finally on the Erie Canal. He afterward built the machinery for the first steamboat on Lake Ontario, and was the first white man to navigate the St. Lawrence River from Kingston to the Sault Rapids. In 1837-38, the State of Illinois awarded him the contract to take the rock out on the summit of the Illinois and Michigan Canal. While completing this great undertaking, by which the water-sheds of Lake Michigan were calculated to be diverted to the Mississippi River, he was attacked by a fatal disease which caused his death.
