| BIOGRAPHY |
| As chief engineer for the Springfield, Mount Vernon, and Pittsburgh Railroad,
Shelemiah was responsible for the construction of railway lines in Ohio costing
millions of dollars in pre-Civil War money. Research by members of the
Ostrander Family Association has established that the community of Ostrander in
Delaware County, Ohio, was named for Shelemiah Ostrander, not as some suggested
for Jacob Ostrander whose gravesite lies in Fairview Cemetery, Scioto Township,
Delaware County, Ohio. A genealogical memorial of the Andrews family
written in 1872 states that Mary Andres, Shelemiah's wife, "excelled in
writing, especially poetry. She left an exquisite poem on the
Resurrection, probably unequaled." The picture of Shelemiah Ostrander
and his wife, Elizabeth Andrews is an 1850 daguerreotype and was restored in
1989. (22)
