COWDRICK, Vien, Napoleon, was born in Liberty township, April 12, 1834,
and was a son of Joseph and Margaret (Emmick) Cowdrick, who were married
at Dayton, O., and had a family of eleven children, five of whom are now
living: John E., Smith, Vien, Margaret, and Benjamin F.  Smith enlisted in
the 38th Ohio Regiment, in 1862, and after six months was discharged for
disability.  Joseph was born in New Jersey.  They settled in Henry county
April 1, 1834, and died in 1872.  Joseph was a justice of the peace and
the first elections were held in his house when it was in the township of
Harrison.  Vien was married in 1858 to Sarah Redman, who was born in 1842.
They have had two children, Dr. Elmer E., and Myrtle A.  Elmer was
graduated from the graded schools, fitted for and graduated from the
Chicago Medical College in 1886.  Myrtle is now a student.  The subject of
this sketch was one among the first white children born in Henry township.
