There is a dime sized light stain in the upper left quadrant. It is shown in the photos with my finger pointing at it. I am asking $195. Cash only, please. Dimensions 16 1/4 inches high by 19 1/4 inches wide including frame 13 1/2 inches high by 16 1/2 inches wide glass area I found this online: ROBERT COCHRAN, another of the well-known representative, progressive agriculturists of Cadiz Township, Harrison County, and owner of Oak Dale Farm, was born on that farm on Sept. 14, 1822, of Scotch-Irish descent. His father, Robert Cochran, was born in Dauphin County, Penn., Sept. 15, 1771, and when a young man removed with his father's family to Allegheny County, Penn., twelve miles from Pittsburgh, on the Monongahela River, where, Apr. 24, 1800, he married a Miss Dorcas Neal, who died Mar. 1, 1801, and left a young daughter. In the same year he came to Ohio, locating on a heavily timbered farm, one-half mile from Cadiz, which he commenced to improve by building a horse-mill and getting it in operation, also a log cabin to live in, and effecting other improvements necessary to make a home. He then returned to Allegheny County, Penn., and married his second wife Apr. 7, 1807, in the person of Miss Sarah Calhoon; then came back to his Ohio home with his wife, who in the course of time bore him six children, viz.: Eleanor, who died Sept. 17, 1867; Samuel, living at this time in Cadiz Township; David, went West, and died in Kansas, Oct. 30, 1883; Mary, wife of W. H. Caldwell, living at this time one mile and a half from Cadiz; Robert R. and Sarah J., living on the old homestead, wither the father and mother had come so long ago, and where they experienced all the hardships of pioneer life, living to see many changes and vast improvements - the wilderness to "blossom as the rose." The father died Feb. 1, 1861, aged ninety years. He was a Jacksonian Democrat, remaining one all his life. He was a justice of the peace for several years. His widow died Apr. 4, 18i67, at the old homestead, which she helped to beautify, now the residence of her son, R. R., who had remained at home to care for his parents in their declining years, abandoning an inclination to seek a home on the Pacific coast to a sense of duty. Robert R. Cochran received a good common-school education and was reared to practical farm life. On Oct. 10, 1867, he married Miss Rachel, daughter of William and Mary J. Hedges, of Cadiz Township, and they settled down for life on the farm where they yet reside. Six children were born to them, viz.: J. William, R. Emmett, Mary E., Frank Mc., R. Burchfield and Henrietta K., all at home. In 1851 the present beautiful home of Mr. Cochran was built, and in 1875 was remodeled, being now one of the finest brick structures in Cadiz Township. The farm of over 300 acres is situated half a mile from the town of Cadiz. At one time the upper part of the farm had six cabins standing on it, all at one time. Politically Mr. Cochran is a Democrat, casting his first vote for Polk in 1844. Mr. Cochran is a strong and vigorous man for his years, enjoying the respect and esteem of his fellow-citizens.
