Biography

Biography: Alonzo was the firstborn child of Nathan and Isabel (Longwell) Furman. He was born in Strattanville in 1836. He married Catherine Lowry on her twentieth birthday, 3-22-1839. She died in 1906, age 67. She was the daughter of John & Eleanor (Clough) Lowry.

Alonzo (nicknamed "Lon") was described in a history of Strattanville published in 1928 at a Centennial Celebration as follows: "Alonzo B. Furman, --was the last of the tenth generation of Furmans in America. "Lon" Furman loved music and many of the older here today are recalling having attended "singin' school" of which he was the teacher at times. By men all over the country he is ac- credited as having been a good mechanic, almost a genius, which perhaps accounted some for his few words and short answers. His little old blacksmiths shop was the birthplace of the Oliver Chilled Plow, which he invented sometime prior to the 1870's. He took out the patent through Munn and Co., Patent Office, Wall Street New York, but later sold out to the J.W.Oliver Company for a meager sum, thussecuring enough money to attend the Centennial in Phila- delphia in 1876. Mr. Furman is also given much credit for invent- ing what we know as the Stillson wrench, but nothing definite can be said of this as he sold his model to a stranger for one dollar, without having secured a patent right."

Lon and his wife had eight children. Lon married a widow from Fair- field township, Columbiana County, Ohio in September of 1906. Her name was Anna Wonsettler and they had no children themselves though Anna had children from her first marriage.

A book about the history of the Allegheny Valley has the following write-up: "He was brought up on a farm and educated at Strattanville, and at public school at Clarion, to which place his father had removed in 1847. Since 1859 he has resided at Strattanville, and he is a black- smith and machinist. Since 1856, when he cast his first presidential vote for John C. Fremont, he has always been a Republican. At Strat- tanville he has served on the council, and he has been for a number of years a member of the school board. From 1858 he has been a member of the Baptist church at Strattanville, and he helped in getting out the lumber to build the First Baptist Church."

Farmer, blacksmith, inventor.
