Orr was born in the same place where he now lives on April 29, 1868. His father was Melville Orr and his mother Nancy (Sears) Orr. His paternal grandparents lived in Ohio and were originally from Ireland. His maternal grandparents were Virginians but came from English and German forbears. Melville Orr came to Miami county in 1862 and six years later removed to Fulton county. He volunteered for service in the Civil war but was rejected on account of defective hearing. He was a general farmer all his life. He died August 8,1897. His wife died November 29, 1907. They were the parents of nine children, seven of whom are living. His son, John, the subject of this sketch, never married but resides with his two sisters on the old farm. He belongs to the Masonic fraternity and was Master of Lodge for a term of two years. [Henry A. Barnhart, Fulton County History, p. 255, Dayton Historical Publishing Co., 1923] ORR, JOSHUA N. [Rochester, Indiana JOSHUA N. ORR (Biography) Joshua N. ORR was born in Fulton county, April 6, 1853. He resided on a farm until 1890 when he moved to Rochester and became assistant editor of the Sentinel. When the legislature of 1891 created the office of county Assessor, the county commissioners, by a unanimous voice called him to fill that position. At the general election of 1892 the people indorsed his work by giving him the largest majority received by any candidate on the ticket, and in the performance of his official duties he has instituted beneficial reforms which affect every county in the state. His term of office will expire in November 1896. December 24, 1880, he was united in marriage with Rose F. CALVERT. They have one daughter, Henriette [ORR], six years old, and own a pleasant home on Fulton avenue.

[Rochester Sentinel, Saturday, February 16, 1884] OSAGE VALVE CORPORATION [Rochester, Indiana] BIDDINGER WANTS CITY TO PURCHASE FACTORY BUILDING That something good may yet come of the old shoe building now in the hands of William Biddinger, receiver for the Osage Valve Corporation, was indicated by Biddinger at Tuesday evening’s meeting of the city council. Bidding appeared before the council and after explaining that affairs of the defunct corporation are rapidly nearing final settlement, asked that the city council take some steps to dispose of the building, which was ordered sold by the court and has been appraised at approximately $6,000. Biddinger’s suggestion is that the city purchase the building outright and then dispose of it to some manufacturing concern. He said that he believed this would be a feasible plan as there have already been numerous inquiries from going manufacturing concerns which are seeking new locations. It was explained by the council, however, that so far as the city is concerned the idea would be practically impossible as the city has not the funds on hands to finance such a venture, but individual members of the council explained that they would be glad to get behind a movement to have the Young Men’s Business Association or any representative body in the city to back such an undertaking as suggested by the receiver. Some time ago a similar proposition was handled in the city in regard to the location here of the Waring Glove factory. The building was purchased and turned over to the Waring people with the understanding that title would be transferred to them if a specified payroll were maintained over a certain pearion of years. From all indications it is probable that such a step will be undertaken in the near future, but just who will handle the project is not yet known. . . . . OSBORN, GEORGE E.
