Stan & Marian
Pitchin, Ohio
Marian Benham represents the seventh generation of her family that has had the privilege of farming these fertile, rolling hills. Her forebears first settled in the area in 1848, near the village of Pitchin, Ohio. Wikipedia states: “The first permanent settlement at Pitchin was made in the 1840s when several houses and shops were built there. A sawmill was built at the site in 1854. According to tradition, the town's name is derived from an idiom, specifically "pitch in". Some say the proprietor of a mill told all job seekers to "pitch in" and help him build the mill, while others believe a merchant invited townspeople to "pitch in" and help him drink a keg of beer at his new store. A post office called Pitchin was established in 1884, and remained in operation until 1903.”
