"William Gamble. The period in which the late William Gam- ble of Gorham lived in the world was from September 1, 1845, when he was born in Richland county, to May 1, 1912, when he died in Fulton county. He was a son of Edward and Sarah (Dickinson) Gamble. They came from England in 1840 and located in Richland county. Their children were: Edward, John and Richard, all deceased, and William, who was the youngest of the family. They are all gone the way of the world. William was the only child born after they came to the United States.

It was about the time of the organization of Fulton county in 1850 that the Gamble family removed from Richland to the new county in Western Ohio. They came overland direct to Gorham Township, where they entered, cleared and improved a farm — and both died where they located so long ago.

The Gamble family story is related by Mrs. Frances A. Pontius Gamble, widow of William Gamble. She was born October 31, 1847, near Waterloo, New York. She is a daughter of Henry and Elizabeth (Deal) Pontius. The father was a native of New York and the mother of Pennsylvania. It was in April, 1870, that Frances A. Pontius became the wife of William Gamble. As early as 1852 her family had come to Gorham — just two years after the coming of the Gamble family. The word pioneer is properly applied to both families.

When William Gamble and his wife were married they lived for a time on the Gamble farm in Gorham, then bought a fifty-acre tract partly cleared, and they improved it. They cleared and added* more land until there is now a farmstead of 150 acres, all under cultivation but ten acres in timber and pasture land. Mr. Gamble was a hard working man, and very prosperous farmer — a good man in the com- munity. The children were: Curtis and Edward, deceased; Nelson, of Lenawee county, Michigan; William, of Gorham; Burt Van Buren, of Fayette; Art emus LeRoy, of Wauseon; arid Ophie, wife of Herbert Tillotson, of Fayette.

When their children were in school Mr. and Mrs. Gamble rented the farm and lived in Fayette, where he conducted a grocery business for fourteen years. They had been educated in common schools themselves and wanted to give their children the best educational advantages. The family belong to the Disciples Church in Fayette. "
