William Cochran was born in Ross township, Butler county, OH November 19, 1835, a son of James and Hannah (Wilson) Cochran, the former of whom came to Butler county from Pennsylvania. His brother, William Cochran, after whom was named the subject of this review, was one of the early judges of Butler county and was known to the district as a man of probity and acumen. William Cochran, subject of sketch, married April 21, 1864, Miss Susan Whipple {104478}, a daughter of James {94512} and Susan (Timmerman 94513) Whipple. After their marriage the young couple resided for a time on the old Whipple farm and then built the present homestead which was designed by the wife. Five children were born to them: Maud, Martha, Guereldelene, Bertha and Charles. Maud was married to John Behl and now lives in Oxford township, having three children, Hugh, Margery and Dorothy; Martha married William Beard, and also lives in Oxford township and has two children, Lorena and Donald; Guereldelene married James Beard and lives in Hamilton, Ohio, and has three children, Mark, Susan and Gladys; Bertha, who married Charles Snively, lives in Oxford, and has two children, Eleanor and Ruth; Charles married Hazel Minton, lives with his mother on the home farm, and has one son, James William, born February 1, 1919.
