J. M. taught school from his eighteenth year; studied law, and was admitted to the bar in Ohio. He held the offices of Assessor and Justice of the Peace and Supervisor. John H. Martin, born in Wayne County, Illinois, was raised in Marshall County, having lived there since 1829; removed on to Section 25 in March, 1856. Alexander Clegg, from West Virginia, settled on Sec. 25. His daughter, Florence, was the first child born in the town.
The story of wearing your wedding ring on the left hand can be traced back to ancient Roman and Greek times (really!). Back in that day, the Romans believed that the vein in the ring finger (the fourth finger) on the left hand ran directly to one's heart. Because of this belief, they called that vein the vena amoris or vein of love.
Just for example, most American men will wear their wedding band on their left ring finger, but a man married in an Eastern Orthodox church could end up using the right hand instead (I do this â watch my videos and youâll see!). And engagement rings are rare enough on men already that there is no set tradition. Some schools or organizations may have rules about how to wear their rings (in which case youâll be told), but most will leave it up to their members. So for pretty much any ring, donât worry about right hand vs. left hand rules.
