About Philip Lanning
"PHILIP LANNING, merchant and Postmaster at Gilmore, was born in Washington Township, Tuscarawas Co., Ohio, in 1821. He is the second son
of Joseph and Elizabeth Lanning, who emigrated to this county in 1818. Joseph Lanning was a native of New Jersey, and died in this county in 1878, at the ripe old age of eighty-one years. His wife is still living, and makes her home with her daughter, Sarah A., wife of William Denning, of this township.
Philip Lanning was raised in Tuscarawas County, and received only a limited education. When about twenty-four years of age, he started out in life for himself. In 1847, he was married to Senia Gardner, daughter of David Gardner, who came here from Pennsylvania in 1834.
Our subject moved to Gilmore, his present place of business, in 1848, and entered the mercantile trade. He first built a small store-room, and lived in a part of the same for a number of years. He hauled his goods from Wheeling, W. Va., a distance of forty-five miles. About this time he sold a horse and buggy, which furnished him money to start in business. In 1861, he built a large store room, where he is now carrying on an immense mercantile trade. The post office is located in his building.
Four children have been born to him-- Nora Manda, wife of S. G. Moore, of Galva, Ill.;
Theodore, who was married in 1874, to Miss Nannie Mears, of Westchester, Ohio, and is now in partnership with his father;
John H., who was married in 1878, to Miss Appie Billingsley, of Columbiana County;
and David P., who is now living in Illinois. Both our
subject and wife are members of the Methodist Protestant Church.
Mr. Lanning is also a member of the Masonic fraternity. His son, Theodore, is a member of the I.O.O.F. He has been quite prosperous in business,
although about two years ago their store and safe were burglarize, and they sustained a loss of $1,000. They have also, from time to time, sustained heavy losses in different ways. He is now the owner of 130
acres of highly improved land, with new buildings on the same, besides a large amount of village property, including a heavy stock of goods. He is
one of the first men of Washington Township."
