  Elaine's Rentals

  Jan 2012 - now

  Property Manager

  I own and manage the rental of three houses and the family farm in rural Harrison County, Ohio. The farm was 1 of 2 farms purchased by my ancestors, the Rankin family, when Ohio was settled as part of the Northwest Territory in the early 1800's. We have the sheepskin document from the Steubenville Land Company showing the purchase of one of two farms for $1.
