A biosketch of son David Rohrer reports [6]:
David H. Rohrer is a native son of Stark county, and he was born on a farm in Canton township, on the 3d of July, 1852, being the only child of David and Elizabeth (Hoffman) Rohrer. both of whom came of stanch German lineage. His father was born in the state of Pennsylvania, and as a young man he accompanied his parents, Isaac and Mary ( Rohrer ) Rohrer, on their removal from the old Keystone state to Stark county, the family taking up their abode on a farm in Canton township in the early pioneer days. In that township the parents of our subject were married, after which his father engaged in agricultural pursuits on his own responsibility, but he lived only a short time after his marriage, passing away in the flower of his young manhood, since he was but twenty-four years of age at the time of his death, while he left his young wife with an infant son only three days old at the time. That son was he of whom this sketch is written. His mother subsequently became the wife of Peter Stauffer, to whom she bore four children, of whom three survive, namely: Priscilla, who is the wife of Amos Sollenherger, of Denver, Colorado; Henry, who is a resident of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and Emma, who is unmarried and resides in the city of Chicago, Illinois. The devoted mother passed away in 1869, at the age of forty-six years.
David H. Rohrer remained with his mother until he had attained the age of sixteen years, having received a common-school education, and he then started out in life on his own responsibility by securing employment on a farm, this being in harmony with his earlier training. On the 16th of December, 1873, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Myers, who was at the time a resident of the city of Canton. She was born in the state of Pennsylvania, whence she accompanied her father, John B. Myers, on his removal to Stark county, where he became a pioneer farmer in Canton township, finally retiring from active business and passing the closing years of his life near Canton. One year after his marriage Mr. Rohrer purchased fifty-two acres of land in Nimishillen township and began farming on his own responsibility, meeting with a due measure of success, since he was industrious and brought to bear the full strength of his forceful energy and excellent business judgment. In 1889 he sold this farm to John Vivland and purchased his present home farm of one hundred and sixty acres, on section 19, in the same township, and here he has since made many improvements and has placed the land under most effective cultivation, so that his returns are such as to justify the zealous efforts put forth. In politics he maintains an independent attitude and his religious faith is that of the Brethren of Christ, of which organization his wife also is a devoted member. They are the parents of eleven children, namely: Clifford, who is a resident of Canton township; Elizabeth, who remains at the parental home; Bertha, who is the wife of Harvey Warstler, who has charge of the operation of a portion of our subject's farm; Albert, Mary and Eugene, who remain at the parental home; John, who resides in Canton township: and Harry, Martin, Nettie and Ellen, who are still beneath the home rooftree.
