One of the sons of George Pulse, a settler of Liberty township, in the first decade of the nineteenth century, was John D. Pulse, born in Liberty township, in 1816. He marled Cynthia A., daughter of Michael and Polly (Walker) Stroup, a famous pioneer couple of New Market township whose lives are sketched at some length in another article of this volume. After marriage, John D. Pulse located on a farm in Dodson township, where he prospered and was accumulating property rapidly when cut off in the prime of life. In 1855 he had made a trip to Iowa to buy land for investment and while there contracted typhoid fever which terminated fatally twelve days after he returned to his Ohio home. His wife, however, assumed charge of the business and managed it successfully until her death, which occurred in 1899 at the age of seventy-nine years. Her living children are Eliud S., of Dodson township; Flavious O., the subject of this sketch; Michael B., of Brown county, and John W., who resides on the old place. Besides these, Mary E., the first born, and Eliza J., the fourth in order of birth, have passed away.
