From his youth he was an earnest member of the Baptist church, and in politics he was a Whig and Republican. His first wife, whose maiden name was Amanda Noe, was a native of Champaign county, Ohio. (For her family history see sketch of L. J. Noe.) She died in March, 1838, when but thirty-one years of age, and was buried in the Huddleston family graveyard, on the old homestead. Subsequently Mr. Huddleston married Annie Ken- nedy, who survived him a number of years. Of the children born to William

and Amanda Huddleston, our subject was the eldest. Polly Ann and Rachel Jane died when young. Lewis Noe, who died the same year, was his eldest brother, and was buried in Honey Creek cemetery, in Ohio, never left that state, and always was occupied in farming. He married Annie Wilson, and their children were Ida Ellen, Mary Alice, Frank Remington, Clara Alma (who died when young), Sarah Emily, Susanna Amanda, Elizabeth and Margaret L. Willis, born in 1833, resides upon the old homestead in Ohio. He wedded Martha Lewis, and they became the parents of Zella Florence, Carrie May, Perry Musson, Asa and Ira (twins, who died when young), and Annie. Esther Ann, born July 18, 1835, married Jacob Nicholas, and since 1860 has lived in Winamac, where Mr. Nicholas has served for two terms as county auditor. Their children are Anna Isadora and Ada Douglass. Emily Jane, born September 29, 1837, became the wife of William Jasper Dennis, August 18, 1868. He was born in Kentucky, and is a carpenter by trade. Their children are as follows: Nelson Lewis, who was born May 21, 1869, married Sarah Nye and has two sons, Harold and Hobart; James Perry, born January 26, 1872; William, born February 4, 1874, died February 21, following; Harry Everett, born July 3, 1880, died April 3, 1881.
The early years of W. S. Huddleston passed uneventfully upon his father's homestead in Ohio, and in the common schools of the neighborhood he managed to obtain a liberal education. For some time after coming here, in 1849, he was successfully engaged in teaching in Pulaski county, and in 1850 he arrived in Winamac. From that time forward until his death, some thirty years later, he was actively associated with the leading business enter- prises of this town and county. He was influential in the establishment of the grain-shipping industry, which has since assumed great and important proportions, and he continued to be interested in this line of business until his death. Besides, he dealt extensively in land, and by his wisdom in buy- ing and selling, became one of the wealthiest men in the county. In the multiplicity of his financial affairs, he never neglected his duties as a citizen, and he was frequently called upon to officiate in positions of trust and respon- sibility. He served the people of this county as auditor for two terms and was county surveyor for a period, discharging his duties with the same fidel- ity, promptness and thoroughness which he displayed in his own business affairs. His death, December 15, 1879, was deeply mourned and felt to be a public loss.
The marriage of William S. Huddleston and Julia A. Sigler was cele- brated on August 31, 1850. Their eldest child, Anna Belle, died February 27, 1865, aged eleven years, nine months and twenty-four days. Eulalie, the next in order of birth, became the wife of George L. Van Gorder. Will- iam S., Jr., is represented elsewhere in this work. Rowan died October 15.

1868, aged one year, two months and seventeen days. Lewis Franklin, born October 1, 1869, was married on the Ist of October, 1890, to Laura Belle, daughter of Shubel Pearson, and their little son, Waldemar, was born November 28, 1892. Henry, an infant son of our subject and wife, died October 7, 1852.
ALFRED THOMPSON.
For more than two-score years Alfred Thompson was a citizen and busi- ness man of Rensselaer, Jasper county, actively connected with whatever was calculated to benefit and upbuild the community; and when death sum- moned him to his reward, March 3, 1896, his loss was felt to be a public one. The influence of a noble, upright life is never lost, and the impress which the character of Mr. Thompson made upon all with whom the varied relations of business and society brought him into contact cannot be measured.
Born in Stark county, Ohio, October 17, 1829, Alfred Thompson was a son of David and Eliza (McCoy) Thompson. When he was a child of four years the family removed to Hancock county, Indiana, and there young Al- fred attended the district schools, his advantages in the way of an education being quite meager. Nevertheless he was an earnest student, and when in his sixteenth year he commenced teaching school, during the winter terms, while the rest of the year he worked with his father on the farm. In 1847 he went to Columbiana county, Ohio, and there attended school for some time, after which he entered the banking establishment owned by his uncle, Thomas McCoy, in New Lisbon, Ohio. Under the able instruction of Mr. McCoy the young man became thoroughly conversant with every branch of the banking business, and in October, 1855, he came to Rensselaer, where for five years he carried on a bank for his uncle. Then he and his cousin, Alfred McCoy, a son of the uncle, Thomas McCoy, took entire control of the Rensselaer bank and it was not until 1881 that Mr. Thompson retired from the business. In the meantime he also had been extensively interested in the buying and selling of live stock, and had owned and managed a fine farm near Pleasant Ridge, four miles east of Rensselaer. Punctual and at- tentive to his business, faithful to the letter of his word and contract, never taking advantage of another in any unscrupulous way, but always choosing the open, honorable course in all his transactions, small wonder is it that he was admired and honored by all who knew him. The poor and troubled ones of the neighborhood often appealed to him for aid, and it was never re- fused. His Christianity was of the helpful, practical kind, and he found no higher pleasure in life than in lending a helping hand to the unfortunate. His membership was in the Church of God, to which he gave liberally of

time and money. In his early manhood he was allied to the Democratic party, but from the organization of the Republican party he stood firmly by the principles which it set forth. For several years before his death he was more or less of an invalid, and during the last two years he was quite ill much of the time, and was ready to go when the summons came.
June 12, 1855, Mr. Thompson married Mary E. Travis, who was born in Clarion county, Pennsylvania, in 1830, a daughter of Stephen and Frances Travis. Stephen Travis' family were from New York, while his wife's peo- ple were from Virginia, but both became settlers of western Pennsylvania. There Mr. Travis died many years ago, and his widow removed to Ohio, and later to Illinois, and subsequently, soon after the great civil war, to Renssel- aer, where her death occurred in 1872. Mrs. Mary Thompson has resided on her present property since four years after her marriage. The house is of brick, and was built by Mr. Thompson a score of years ago, in 1878. He left her well provided for, and their only son, Delos, of Rensselaer, looks after the estate. He married Miss Julia Skinner, and they have three children. The two daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, Sr., are Florence, widow of Charles Sears, and Ora, wife of F. A. Ross. Mrs. Sears was educated in Valparaiso, and is now living with her mother.
WILLIAM S. HUDDLESTON.
William Sigler Huddleston is one of the proprietors of the Bank of Winamac, and is a young man of far more than average acumen in affairs of business. So great is the trust in his judgment that his advice is continually sought in matters of moment, especially those of finance, by his fellow citi- zens. He is a son of William Shipman and Julia Ann (Sigler) Huddleston, whose history is given on another page of this publication. He was born October 24, 1863, in Winamac, Pulaski county, Indiana, where he passed successively from childhood and youth into a noble manhood. As a lad he attended the public schools of Winamac and later entered the business col- lege at Onarga, Illinois, where he finished the course in ten months. From there he went to Notre Dame University, South Bend, Indiana, where he continued his studies for six months and then began his active business life as bookkeeper for Keller, Bouslog & Company. Six months later he ac- cepted a better situation, as general assistant in the warehouse of John Steis, where he remained ten months. At the expiration of that time he moved onto his farm of three hundred and twenty acres, given him by his father, and continued to employ his time in husbandry until 1896. He now took one-third interest, with Louis Keller and Marshall Cooper, in the Bank of Winamac, and once more took up his residence in the village, in order

that he might look after his interests in that institution. He still gives his personal supervision to his farm, and is one of those wide-awake, progressive characters who keep well abreast of the times, lending his aid to all public improvements. His personality is a growing incentive to laudable enter- prise.
Mr. Huddleston was married January 24, 1886, to Miss Kate Cohee, a native of Logansport and a daughter of Emanuel Cohee. Four bright chil- dren have added their welcome presence to their home, viz .: William Ship- man, aged twelve years; Mary Aurora, aged ten; Leslie Emanuel, who died at the age of six months; and Gladys, aged four. Mr. and Mrs. Huddleston are members of the Eastern Star and Rebekah lodges, and he has served as junior deacon of Tippecanoe Lodge, No. 262, F. &. A. M., of Winamac, and has passed all the chairs of the local lodge of Odd Fellows. He is a Demo- crat, and for four years was town treasurer. Born and reared in this county, the people may well feel proud of his career, and the popular esteem ac- corded him is the direct result of his genial and kindly disposition.
JACOB GALBREATH.
An influential and well-to-do farmer of Monroe township, Pulaski coun- ty, Indiana, Jacob Galbreath, was born September 5, 1836, about four miles south of Logansport, in Cass county, Indiana. His parents were Thomas Jefferson and Susannah (Neff) Galbreath. His grandfather .Galbreath was from Ireland and was probably the first of the family to locate in America. He was the father of three children, -Thomas J., the father of our subject, Peggy, and Joseph, the last mentioned of whom is still living. Peggy mar- ried one James Hodges and located in this county for a time, but later settled in Iowa, in Johnson county, and in that state their children still make their homes. They are Jefferson, Martha Jane, Ann, Mary Ellen and Marion. After the death of her husband the grandmother married a Mr. Watts, by whom she had two sons, former residents of Cass county, but now deceased.
Thomas J. Galbreath was born December 8, 1812, near Richmond, Wayne county, Indiana. He lost his father at the early age of twelve years and soon afterward went to Logansport, where he engaged in work in the city for several years. In 1833 he bought seventy acres of land near there, residing on it and cultivating it until 1839, when he came to Pulaski county and entered a tract of government land. This land was situated in the north- west quarter of section thirty-five, in Monroe township, and upon it he erected a log dwelling, in which he made his home until 1861, when it was torn down and the present edifice, now occupied by George Galbreath, was built. He lived here until his death, which occurred March 6, 1879, at eight o'clock

in the morning. He was a man of good physique, measuring five feet ten inches, and weighing about one hundred and sixty pounds. He was married May 22, 1833, to Susannah Neff, who was born December 12, 1812, and was of Pennsylvania Dutch descent. Their children were Daniel, Jacob, Martha Jane, Joseph Jackson, James William, George Washington, and Susannah. Daniel, the eldest of these children, is a resident of Fulton county. He was born February 16, 1834, and married Mary McBroom, by whom he had eight children, namely: Susan, Martha, James, Serilda, Mary, Hattie, Ola and John. Both sons are deceased. Martha Jane was born July 26, 1838, and married Jesse Wasson, formerly a farmer of Minnesota, but a resident of the state of Washington since 1889. Their children are Jacob, William, Mary, Ida, Susan, Jennie and Henry. Joseph Jackson was born February 28, 1842, and was twice married, first to Lucy Tunis, who died, as did her baby also, and he later married Mary March. The children of this marriage are Charles, Dora and Thomas. Joseph J. died March 25, 1879, two hours after his mother had passed away. His widow married Aquilla Mc- Whorter, a teamster of Winamac. Mary Elizabeth Galbreath was born No- vember 14, 1847, and was twice married, the first husband being Carey Dick, a farmer who went to the state of Washington, where he died, leaving three children, -- Claud, Jennie and Jay. Her second husband was Robert Walburn, of Winamac. They moved to Washington and later located in Lewis county, Oregon, where they are engaged in farming. They have but one child, Charity. James William Galbreath was born November 19, 1849, and re- sided in Monroe township, where he died May 20, 1899. George Washing- ton was born November 23, 1851. He lives upon the old homestead, which he cultivates, and is also interested in a sawmill and threshing-machine with his brother, James William. He was married September 23, 1874, to Diana Leach, who was born July 6, 1855, in Shelhart place. Their children are as follows: Ida Belle, who was born July 31, 1875, is now the wife of Benja- min Jenkins, of Hammond, Indiana, and they have two children, Ruth and Charles; Mary Elizabeth was born August 28, 1877, and married Charles Copeland, a farmer of this county; Daniel was born January 24, 1880; Rob- ert, February 28, 1882; Susanna Jane, June 11, 1884; Bertha Goldie, Octo- ber 18, 1886; Emma Ellen, October 7, 1888; and Marion Lewis, December 17, 1890. Susannah, the youngest child of Thomas J. Galbreath, was born July 23, 1854, and died at the age of eight years.
Jacob Neff, the maternal grandfather of our subject, was a native of Pennsylvania, and of German extraction. Seven children comprised his family, those besides Mrs. Susannah Galbreath being as follows: Daniel, a farmer of Cass county, this state; William, also of Cass county, but formerly a farmer in Pulaski county; Jonathan, a farmer of the same county; Jacob, a

merchant of Logansport; Rachel, deceased, formerly wife of William Oliver of Harrison township; Catherine, wife of Elias Shideler, and for many years a resident of Iowa.
Jacob Galbreath remained with his mother until he was twenty-six years of age, assisting with the farm work; he then rented and farmed a small patch of land. In the fall of 1862 he built a log cabin on a tract of land owned by his father, which he bought the following year and where he now resides. This tract contained forty acres and was located in the southeast quarter of the southwest quarter of section 26, Monroe township. The house built was a log structure, fourteen by sixteen feet, with an addition at one end, and was the family home until one morning in February, 1879, when it caught fire in some manner, about three o'clock, and burned to the ground with all their goods. This was a total loss and a great blow to Mr. Gal- breath, but he at once set about building a kitchen, which is in use at present, the remainder of the house being put up in 1886. He then bought the forty acres adjoining on the north, and at a later time thirty-five acres on the east, and upon the death of his father received eighteen acres from that estate, which joined his land on the south. This gives him one hundred and thirty- three acres in one body, lying in Monroe township, and comprising some of the best and most highly cultivated farm land in this section.
Our subject was married November 13, 1862, to Margaret Gates, who was born in White county, Indiana, July 25, 1842, and her death occurred September 26, 1868, in Winamac, where she is buried. She left two chil- dren, a son and daughter. The latter, Levina Jane, was born August 21, 1863, and was married to Martin Paul, a motorman of Chicago, on February 14, 1884. Their children were Harvey, who died when two years old, Elsie and Elva. The son, Andrew K., was born May 8, 1867, on the old home- stead. He was employed as a teacher in the country schools for several winters, but is now engaged in farming, one mile south of Winamac, on the Jacob Shoup place, to which he moved March 3, 1893. He is a Democrat and was elected by that party, in November, 1895, to the office of assessor of Monroe township, a position he is still filling, to the entire satisfaction of property-owners and others. Andrew K. Galbreath, on February 21, 1889, placed Rachel Jane Timmons, daughter of William Timmons, at the head of his household. This marriage was blessed by the birth of the following chil- dren: Elmer, born September 26, 1889; Mearl, born November 5, 1891; Iva May, born September 9, 1894; and Nellie Myrtle, born August 8, 1896. On May 23, 1869, our subject led to the altar Lovisa Elizabeth Wentz, a daughter of Andrew and Matilda Wentz. She was born April 21, 1844, and died August 4, 1891, after a happy wedded life of almost a quarter of a cent- ury. She left several children to perpetuate her memory, namely: Charity E.

was born March 29, 1870. John Thomas, who was born November 4, 1871, married Miss Ura Frain, daughter of Edwin Frain, whose biography appears elsewhere. John T. is employed in Hoffman's store in Winamac and has one child, Albert. Laura Belle was born November 1, 1873, and died Sep- tember 26, 1874. Len J., born April 26, 1876, married Norma Rarick and has one child, Blanche Olive; he is a farmer. Elsie Ann was born June 18, 1879. George was born February 20, 1880, and died May 6, of the same year. Dora May was born April 1, 1882, and Jacob Martin was born July 16, 1884. Mr. Galbreath is a member of the Church of God, and is a Dem- ocrat in politics.
MARTIN VAN BUREN STIPP.
Martin Van Buren Stipp, one of the honored pioneers of Monroe town- ship, Pulaski county, has lived upon the homestead which he now owns and cultivates, on section 23, since he was a lad of less than ten years of age, and therefore has not only been a witness of the marvelous development of this region, but has actively performed his part in bringing about the pros- perity which it enjoys to-day.
George Stipp, the paternal grandfather of our subject, was a native of Germany, and located in Virginia prior to the war for independence. Dur- ing that memorable conflict he served with Washington and Lafayette, and subsequently received a soldier's claim to some land in Ohio. He was mar- ried in the Old Dominion to an English lady, and their children were: Joseph, David, Isaac, John, Frederick, George, Abraham, and two daugh- ters. While a resident of Virginia he worked at the blacksmith trade, but after his removal to Ohio he engaged in farming on a large scale.
Abraham Stipp, the father of our subject, was born in Shenandoah county, Virginia, February 19, 1805, and accompanied his parents to Greene county, Ohio, where on the 5th of August, 1824, he married Mary Magdalene, a daughter of George and Mary Ann Coffelt, and sister of Jacob, Michael, Henry, Joseph, Moses, Rebecca and Elizabeth. She was born in Virginia, July 16, 1806, and died October 12, 1887. In 1838 Abraham Stipp and family removed to Shelby county, Ohio, and there he owned a quarter-section of land. In March, 1842, with his wife, four children, a young lady, Mary Ann Calvin, and a young man, Mr. Toland, he made the long and tedious journey, with teams, to Pulaski county. Arriving here, he bought a quarter-section of land, -the property upon which our subject has since dwelt. This tract was then in the possession of a Mr. Break, who had erected a small log cabin and made a few improvements. The house which now stands on the premises was built about a quarter of a century ago. Mr.

BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY.
Stipp was a practical, industrious agriculturist, respected by his neighbors and active in good works. He voted the Democratic ticket, and in a per- sonal way was opposed to holding office. At times he was urged to accept local positions, and was once earnestly requested to allow his name to be used for the office of sheriff, but he refused. Religiously, he was identified with the Christian church, and served as deacon and in other official capaci- ties. He was summoned to his reward December 13, 185, and was placed in the Oliver cemetery, where, nearly half a century afterward, his widow's remains were laid by his side.
The children of this worthy couple were as named below: (1) Joseph, born September 21, 1825, married Mary Ann, daughter of John and Eliza- beth (Wirich) Nickles, the wedding ceremony being performed November 12, 1857. She was born October 22, 1832, in Franklin county, Pennsylvania, and by her marriage has become the mother of three children: John Mil- burn, born March 15, 1860, died October 5, 1865; Mary Elizabeth, born March 2, 1863, married John A. Ginther; and Letty Ann, born December 18, 1866, is at home. Mr. and Mrs. Ginther were united in wedlock May 29, 1881, and their children are: Charles Milburn, born October 13, 1883; Laura Belle, born February 12, 1886; Lucy Edith, October 12, 1888; and Harry Elliott, August 31, 1891. (2) Letitia Ann, born April 3, 1827, became the wife of William Keys. (3) William Milburn, born September 19, 1829, died at the age of twelve years; and (4) Martin Van Buren is the youngest of the family.
Martin V. Stipp was born November 28, 1832, near Bellebrook, Greene county, Ohio, and in 1842 came across the country in a wagon to Pulaski county, Indiana, where he has since made his home. He was about eighteen years old when his father died, and he succeeded to the ownership of the homestead in Monroe township, by buying out the other heirs. He has been very successful as a farmer and is held in high regard by his neighbors and all with whom he has dealings. Politically, he is a Democrat.
One of the most important events in the life of Martin Van Buren Stipp occurred about two-score years ago, for, on the 20th of March, 1859, he was joined in wedlock with Miss Mary Ann Taylor, a native of Miami county, Indiana, born June 13, 1840. Her paternal great-grandfather, who was a native of England, settled in Virginia at an early day. He had two sons, of whom one was the father of Jeremiah, Jesse and others. Jeremiah always lived in Virginia. Jesse, the grandfather of Mrs. Stipp, was born in 1755, and died in 1830. He served long and faithfully in the Revolutionary war- four years on the sea and three years in the regular army. In the progress of a hot cavalry fight he was severely wounded, a sword-thrust penetrating his right hip, and from the effects of this he was a cripple throughout the 44

remainder of his life. He owned a plantation in Virginia but was never a slaveholder. He married Sarah Emory, likewise a native of the Old Domin- ion, and among their children were the following: (1) Ollie, who was a mer- chant at Terre Haute for many years, owned a number of farms and held the largest share in the first linseed-oil mill in that locality. He and his wife, Julia, became the parents of four children, -Andrew, Elizabeth, William and Samuel. He later wedded another wife, and removed to Wapello, Iowa. (2) Sarah, the second child of Jesse and Sarah Taylor, was born in 1801, and became the wife of Henry Paul, then of Champaign county, Ohio, and later of Miami county, Indiana. Their children were: Ollie A., Barbara, Jonas, Elizabeth, William, Henry and Sarah. The second husband of Mrs. Paul was S. Fisthorn, of Royal Center, Indiana. (3) Samuel, the third child of Jesse Taylor, was a miller by trade and resided in Dayton, Ohio. For many years he was the superintendent of the Ohio & Erie canal, and was captain of a boat on the "raging canal " for a long period. He married Lillian Jack- son, and their children were Morgan, Wesley, John and Ellen. (4) Susan, the fourth child of Jesse Taylor, married John Sanders, a farmer of Marion county, and later of Illinois, where both departed this life. Of their children, William, George and John are remembered by name. (5) Elizabeth became the wife of John Jacobs, of Clark county, Ohio, and subsequently of Iowa. (6) Abigail married Thomas Mclaughlin, a fuller by trade and a resident of Hamilton county, Indiana. His children are Ellen, John, Ann, Deborah and one other. (7) George W. is the father of Mrs. Stipp. John Jenkins, the maternal grandfather of Mrs. Stipp, was of English descent, and was a native of Virginia. His wife, whose maiden name was Mary Burkholder, was like- wise born in the Old Dominion, but her parents were Germans. Mr. Jenkins removed to Champaign county, Ohio, at an early day, and died upon his farm in Miami county, Indiana, about 1846, when seventy years of age. His wife preceded him to the better land, but their name has been perpetuated by their several children. The eldest of the number was Elizabeth, the mother of Mrs. Stipp. (8) Sarah wedded Gustavus Jessup, a Missouri farmer, and their children were Mary, Keziah, John, Emory and Charles. (9) Morgan married and has several children, including Jane. He is a shoemaker by trade, and resides in Champaign county, Ohio. (10) Barbara, wife of John Marshall, a farmer of Miami county, Indiana, is the mother of Elizabeth, Margaret, George, Emily and Minerva. (II) William, who was a farmer of Miami county, chose Ellen Mclaughlin for his wife, and to them were born Abigail, Jane and Phebe. To his marriage to Margaret Terhune four chil- dren were born, and two children blessed his third union. (12) Jane is the wife of Daniel Benner, a farmer of Miami county, Indiana, and their children are Letitia, Edward and Ella. (13) Rebecca, Mrs. Allen McGuire, of Miami
