AGENBROAD, DANIEL - Father Daniel Agenbroad, one of the first settlers of Bethel township, has passed quietly from this to another world.  Mr. Agenbroad was born in Frederick Co. Md., in 1801, and was brought by his parents to Ohio the same year.  They entered a large tract of land in Bethel Township and lived on same till their death, several years since.  Daniel's boyhood and youth was spent in felling the forest and cultivating the fields, and many were the adventures he had with the wild animals that infested the forest at that time.  At a later period he purchased 80 acres of land near West Charleston, where he lived for several years.  His death occurred at Vandalia where he had gone with his son, Matthew Agenbroad.  The funeral services took place at Bethel church last Tuesday, and were largely attended.
