RESIDENCE OF MR. J. M. SWAIM, ON HIS FRUIT FARM, IN GREEN TOWNSHIP.
1 ON THIS PAGE we present a view of the residence of Mr. J. M. Swaim, on his fruit farm, in the northeast part of Green Town- ship. The place consists of twenty acres. In the rear of, and | derstanding of their nature and their needs and success in their partly surrounding the dwelling is about three acres of the orig- cultivation. & inal forest, and three acres more which was formerly a " black ash BIOGRAPHY .- The subject of this sketch was born in Ran-
swamp," has been converted into a fine meadow, The muck in this meadow is found to be .underlaid by a bed of shell- marl, which with the four feet of muck covering it, will furnish an inexhaustible supply of fer- tilizing materials.
The apple orchard contains five hundred trees of the best varieties that are found to be adapted to this climate. About half of them are thirteen, and the balance ten years planted, consequently now just coming into profitable bearing.
A fine pear orchard, of three hundred and fifty trees, from nine to three years planted, shows by its thrifty growth and heavy crops the adaptation of our soil and climate to the pro- duction of this, the finest of all the fruits grown in a temperate climate.
About one acre is devoted to grapes, which, under Mr. Swaim's skillful management, seldom fail to bear full crops. The varieties cultivated are principally Concord, Delaware, and Hartford. Even the Isa- bella and Catawba often ripen their fruit well.
The balance of the ground is devoted to strawberries, rasp- berries, and garden vegetables.
The place came into Mr. Swaim's possession in the Au- tumn of 1856. None of the land was cleared, though most of the valuable timber had been eut off. All the 'improvement' was simply the rudest kind of a
Mr. Swaim is a born horticulturist, having that general love for trees, plants, fruits, and flowers, from whence comes a true un-
dolph county, North Carolina, on the 26th day of January, 1822, where he worked on his father's farm until his 23d year, when he removed with his fath- er's family to Indiana, in the Autumn of 1844.
The first four years in Indi- ana was spent in school teach- ing, and in the study of medi- cine.
In the Spring of 1847 he was married to a daughter of Dr. Way, of Richmond. The next spring, with a number of his wife's relatives, he removed to the northern part of Illinois, then a comparatively new conn- try, remaining, however, only one year, when he returned to Indiana, to the vicinity of South Bend, where he has since resi- ded.
ANCESTRY .- Anthony Swaim came from Holland in 1700, and settled on Staten Island. An- thony had three, sons : Michael, Mathis, and William,
William, with his three sons, John, Moses, and Michael, went southward, and settled in North Carolina, then a British colony.
John married Elizabeth Vic- ory, by whom he had eight sons and three daughters. The sons were Ashley, Christopher, Wil- liam, Joshua, John, Marma- duke, Moses and Michael.
Moses married Ada Swindell, by whom he had seven sons and four daughters. Four of the sons are still living, one in North Carolina, one (the subject

The family is numerous, and widely scattered over the Uni-) ted States. In some localities the name has degenerated into Swain, sometimes spelled Swayne, but they are all of the samele lineage, and all trace their ancestry back to Anthony, the Dutchde man.
