JAMES L. MOLER, dealer in liquors, Mt. Oreb. The subject of this sketch was born August 31, 1844, in Brown County, Ohio. His parents were Hyson and Nancy J. Moler. He was reared to manhood on a farm, and received rather a limited education. In September, 1865, he married Miss Ann Keethler, daughter of Lewis and Rebecca Keethler. To them have been born five children of whom three are now living — Lutilla, Harley and Bob. After living in different parts of Brown County, Mr. Moler finally, in 1877, came to Mt. Oreb, where he now resides. He deals in wines and liquors. He contributes liberally to enterprises which prove beneficial to the county; has good business qualifications, and enjoys a fair patronage in his line. His word is considered as good as his bond, always performing his part as per agreement. He has been quite successful in business financially, and we predict for him a prosperous future.
