JESSE LAZEAR

Jesse Lazaer, a well-known citizen of West Liberty, was born in 
Brooke county, July 17, 1845.  He is the son of Jerome B. Lazaer, who 
was born April 12, 1813, and died in Brooke county, April 12, 1878.  
He was a schoolteacher in early manhood, but in later years devoted 
himself to farming.  He was married to Susan J. Keach, by whom he had 
six sons and two daughters.  Jesse Lazaer was educated in the common 
schools of Brooke county, and then found employment upon a farm.  He 
was engaged exclusively in agriculture until recently, when he took 
the contract of carrying the mails from Wheeling to West Liberty.  In 
connection with this business he runs a hack between these points.  
Mr. Lazaer was married November 8, 1866, to Rosanna Biggs, and to 
this union have been born two sons and one daughter.  Mrs. Lazaer is 
a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of West Liberty.
