Carolina of English and German descent. She had one daughter by her first marriage, Clarissa Kendall, now the wife of Albert Wilson. To Mr. and Mrs. William J. Francis were born eight children, viz: James M. (deceased), Joseph L., Nancy E., Harriet (deceased), William, Jacob (deceased), Andy, and Mary J. (deceased). Mr. Francis was in politics a Democrat, and cast his first presidential vote for William H. Harrison in 1840. Mr. and Mrs. Francis were both members of the Methodist Episcopal church.
Christian Luther, the grandfather of Mrs. William J. Francis and the great-grandfather of William Francis, of this sketch, was born in Ireland of Scotch ancestry. Emigrating when young to the United States, Christian Luther lived for a number of years in North Carolina, but spent his last days in Indiana, making his home with his children. William Luther, his son, was born in Randolph county, North Carolina, and there grew to manhood. In early life, probably about 1825, he came to Clay county, becoming a pioneer of Washington township. Securing from the government two hundred acres of woodland he cleared a space in which he built the log cabin that was the place of birth of all his children. In common with his neighbors, who were few and far between, he lived in a very primitive manner, with few of the comforts and conveniences of these days. He never had a wagon, but did own a sled, which was doubtless home-made. Traveling was performed on horseback in those times, and in this way he used to go to the distant mill and have a little meal ground. His farming implements were crude, and he always used a wooden mould board plow. He raised sheep and flax, and the family dressed in homespun garments made by the wife and mother from material which she carded, wove and spun, and in addition she spun and wove all the bed clothing, towels, table linen. The husband was equally industrious, splitting by hand the rails with which he fenced the land that he cleared, running the fences by the compass. On the farm which he improved he resided until his death, in August, 1844. Patience Long, the wife of William Luther, was born in Virginia, a daughter of Benjamin Long, who accompanied by three of his daughters and one son, came overland from that state to Indiana with one horse, the father and two of the children walking the entire distance. Settling in Clay county, Mr. Long entered government land in Washington township, cleared a farm, and there spent his remaining days. The wife of William Luther survived him a number of years, dying in 1856. Of the six children she reared, but two are now living, Margaret J. and William Luther. Margaret J. is the wife of Jacob Hudson, who was born in North Carolina, a son of James Hudson, a native Virginian, who became a pioneer of Clay county. William Luther served as a soldier in the Civil War, and is now a resident of Terre Haute, Indiana.
Brought up on the homestead, William Francis acquired a practical education in the public schools, and while yet young became familiar with the various branches of agriculture. In early manhood, after farming. for a time with his father, he bought a part of his present farm, and has since been actively employed in general farming. His untiring industry, combined with skill and practical judgment in con- ducting his operations have met with a well merited reward, his home- stead, with the substantial set of buildings which he has erected, being one of the most valuable in the locality. He has added to the farm by purchase at different times, and now has one hundred and ninety-five

acres in one body, and in another tract has eighty acres of the rich bottom lands of Eel river.
On November 30, 1876, Mr. Francis married Mary Harden, who was born in Harrison township, June 14, 1859, of honored pioneer ancestry, her father, Henry Harden, and her grandfather, Nathan Harden, having been early settlers of Clay county. Nathan Harden and his wife, whose maiden name was Mary Hammond, were natives of Pennsylvania. Coming to Indiana in an early day, he bought government land in section 4 of Harrison township, and in the dense wilderness erected a log cabin for himself and family. For years thereafter there were no railroads in the state, the chief subsistence of the people being produced on the farms or obtained by the expert marksman in the surrounding forests. His faithful wife and helpmate. carded, spun and wove all of the table linen, bed clothing, and the homespun in which she dressed her family, making the garments herself.
Henry Harden, a farmer and stock raiser, was born December 20, 1835, in Knox county, Ohio, and was the seventh of twelve children born to Nathan and Mary (Hammond) Harden, both natives of Penn- sylvania and of Irish and German extraction. Henry Harden moved with his parents to Logan county, Ohio, when he was quite young, and they remained there until the fall of 1852, when they came to Harrison township, Clay county, Indiana. At the age of twenty-one Henry com- menced life for himself, receiving no help, but by his own efforts he owned at his death four hundred and seventy-nine acres of land. On December 25, 1857, he was married to Melinda Bolick, now deceased. Eight children were the fruit of this marriage: Lewis, Mary, John, William (deceased), Lydia, Nathan, Emma (deceased), and Elias (de- ceased). The second marriage of Mr. Harden occurred March 16, 1877, to Nancy Oliver, who is also deceased, and the two children of that union died unnamed. He was next married to Alice Whited, April 15, 1880. Seven children were born to them: Ezekiel, Clara (deceased), Charlie, Curt, Harrison, Henry, and Edgar. Mr. Harden was politically an active member of the Republican party. He died January 5, 1892.
Of the union of Mr. and Mrs. William Francis eight children were born, namely : Otis, Minnie, Cleo, Lydia, Athel, Lozier, Earl and Emory. Minnie, who married Isaac B. Turner, died at the age of twenty years, leaving one child, William Turner, who was born November 2, 1897. Otis, who by a former marriage had one son, Leverett Francis, married for his second wife Stella Woods, and has a daughter, Kyle, one son unnamed, who died and a daughter, Mirle, born September 14, 1907. Cleo married Marjorie Pherson and they have one daughter, Marjorie Virginia, born July 8, 1908. Lydia is the widow of the late Joseph L. Hicks. Athel died when but twelve years of age and Earl and Emory are also deceased. Both Mr. and Mrs. Francis are members of the Methodist Episcopal church at Bellaire, Indiana.
