ELAM C. LANGDON was born in what is now the village of Linwood March 31, 1832, 
son of James D. and Sarah P. Langdon. During the early years of the history of Ohio 
the schools were maintained by subscription, and the subject of this sketch attended 
the district schools in the winter months till he was sixteen years old, when he became 
a student for the two succeeding years in Woodward College, Cincinnati, graduating in

brother in-law, Dr. H. E. Morrill, on Broadway, New York City, and was thus engaged 
for about five years, residing in Brooklyn, across the East river. In the spring of 1855 
he returned to Linwood and resumed the occupation of a farmer, which he has 
followed ever since. In April, 1859, he married Cynthia B. Allen, from western Now 
York, and two children were born of this union. This wife died in 1868; the eldest 
daughter, Minnie, died in early girlhood; Leonora Snow, the youngest daughter, 
married Ernest E. Baker in April, 1891, and now resides in the Red Bank part of the 
village. In December, 1869, Mr. Langdon was married to Martha F. Nash, and they 
have had two children, one of whom died in infancy; the other. Harriet N., resides at 
home.

When quite a boy our subject became a member of the Methodist Protestant Church, 
and on removing to Brooklyn, N. Y., he united with the Plymouth Church, of which the 
famous Henry Ward Beecher was then pastor. On return to Linwood he became a 
member of the Congregational Church in Columbia, one and one-half miles distant, and 
was also a teacher or officer in the Sunday-school there and the Union Sunday-school 
in Linwood. During the last few years, since the organization of the Baptist Church of 
the village, he has, with his wife and daughter, attended this Church and its Sunday-
school, and with them became a worker in advancing the Christianity and morality of 
the village. The village was incorporated in 1874, and at its first organization he was 
chosen a member of the council, a position to which he has been re-elected eight 
terms. He was a member of the school board of the township and village for seventeen 
consecutive terms, and has always taken great interest in the affairs of the community 
generally.
