Prosser T. Bluck belongs to that class of representative men who rapidly discern opportunities of advancement and who are rapidly forging to the front. He was born in Linton township, Coshocton county, and in his youth accompanied his parents on their removal to Jefferson county, this state, this being in the year 1869. He later took up his abode in Coshocton county and operated rented land for nineteen years, while in 1905 he removed to his present farm in Oxford township, having purchased the same in 1901. This tract consists of two hundred and forty-one acres, all of which has been placed under a high state of cultivation. He carries on general agricultural pursuits and makes a specialty of breeding horses and other stock, keeping only high grades. In this connection he has become widely known not only in his home locality but in various sections of Coshocton county and the state. He deserves great success for what he has accomplished in a business way, for all that he today possesses has been acquired through his own well directed labors, careful management and honorable and straightforward methods.

Mr. Bluck established a home of his own by his marriage in 1889 to Miss Charlotte Marlatt, who was born in Linton township in 1864, a daughter of William and Lemigia (Starks) Marlatt, both of whom are now deceased. Mrs. Bluck is one of a family of ten children and by her marriage has become the mother of three children, of whom two died in infancy. The surviving member of the family is Asa, who was born October 4, 1890, and is now a youth of eighteen years living with his parents.

Mr. Bluck's study of the political questions and issues of the day has led him to give stalwart support to the men and measures of democracy since age conferred upon him the right of franchise. His fraternal relations are with the K.P. lodge, No. 102, at New Comerstown and with the Modern Woodmen of America. He is also identified with the Grange. He has prospered from year to year, and has conducted all business matters carefully and successfully, and in all acts displays an aptitude for successful management. He has not permitted the accumulation of wealth to affect in any way his actions toward those less fortunate, and he has always a cheerful word and a pleasant smile for all with whom he comes in contact.
