McAfee, who is now living virtually retired at New Rumley, Harrison County, proved well his ability and progressiveness during many years of active association with farm industry in his native county, and is a well known representative of a family whose name has been worthily linked with the history of Harrison County for nearly a century. Mr. McAfee was born in Rumley Township, this county, on the 23d of April 1856, and is a son of James McAfee, Jr., who was living retired at New Rumley at the time of his death. . . . John A. McAfee acquired his preliminary education in the district schools of Rumley Township and supplemented this by attending Scio College for two terms. He was a young man when he began his independent career as a farmer in Rumley Township, and a generous success attended his vigorous and well directed enterprise in connection with agricultural and live-stock industry. He continued his actove association with the work and management of his farm until the autumn of 1917, when he removed to New Rumley, in which village he has since lived practically retired and in the enjoyment of the peace and prosperity which should ever crown years of earnest and effective endeavor. He is a republican in political allegiance, and he and his wife are earnest members of the Methodist Episcopal Church at New Rumley, of which he has served many years as a trustee, and is a trustee as the present time. In 1878 was solomnized the marriage of Mr. McAfee to Miss Susanna A. Manbeck, who was born and reared in Rumley Township and who is a daughter of William and Isabel A. (Miller) Manbeck. . . .
