At the close of the war Mr. Knebel returned to Indiana and for five years was engaged in sawmill work in Cass county. He was married August 16, 1870, to Mrs. Nancy St. Clair, widow of Reuben St. Clair, who was a member of the One Hundred and Fifty-first Indiana Infantry during the civil war, and laid down his life on the altar of his country. By their marriage were born three children: Henry, Nancy and Reuben. Mrs. Knebel was born in Cass county, Indiana, September 15, 1838, a daughter of Philip and Nancy (Staley) Shafer. Her father was a native of New Jersey and was of sturdy German ancestry. In Ohio he married Nancy Staley and afterward removed with his family to Cass county, Indiana, becoming one of the early pioneers of Harrison township, where in the midst of the forest he cleared and developed a fine farm of two hundred acres. In his religious faith he was a Methodist. His children were: Henry; Christian, who died in infancy; Samuel, Elizabeth, Catherine, Silas, John, Sarah, Jacob, Nancy, Noah and James. Eleven of this number grew to mature years. Mr. Shafer died on his farm in Cass county in 1878, at the age of seventy-six years; and his wife passed away in 1880, at the age of seventy-five years. He was a man of diligence and perseverance in business matters, and his sterling worth com- mended him to the confidence and regard of all.
After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Knebel located upon a rented farm in Cass county, where they remained until 1876, when they removed to Fulton

county, Indiana. On the 17th of January, 1879, they came to Pulaski county and purchased one hundred and twenty acres of wild land. He at once began the work of plowing and planting, and soon abundant harvests rewarded his labors. He also erected good buildings and otherwise improved his farm, to which he added as his financial resources increased until his landed possessions aggregated two hundred acres, constituting a very attrac- tive and desirable property. He sold that, however, in 1895, and purchased one hundred and sixty acres in Cass township, Pulaski county. This he traded for a business block in Churubusco, Indiana, in 1897, and then removed to Medaryville, where he is now living a retired life, in the enjoy- ment of a rest which he has truly earned and richly deserves. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Knebel was blessed with five children: Mary Rosina, born March 9, 1871; Emma Jane, born June 20, 1872; Mildred May, July 19, 1875; Charles E., born October 19, 1878, died in infancy; and Deda Esther, born September 19, 1885.
In his political views Mr. Knebel is a stanch Republican, and socially is connected with the Grand Army Post at Winamac. Both he and his wife are consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he has served as class-leader and steward for fourteen years, and has also been trustee and a member of the building committee. His life has been well spent, and his activity in the business affairs has brought to him a handsome competence, while his fidelity to duty in all other relations has brought him the friendship of many. He was a loyal soldier and is a good citizen, public-spirited and progressive, and in the history of his adopted county he well deserves representation.
JOHN D. CLARK.
John D. Clark is an honored veteran of the civil war and certainly de- serves a debt of gratitude for his service in defense of the Union, for from the beginning of hostilities until peace was declared he was at the front, and in defense of the old flag suffered injuries from which he has never recovered. He was born in Warren, Pennsylvania, August 12, 1845, a son of John and Anna (Bluford) Clark. He is descended from sturdy German ancestry. His grandfather was Frank Ochomire, who came from Germany to the New World and was reared by a family named Clark, whose name he took. He spent his youth in the Keystone state, was there married to Anna Smith, and in Warren engaged in merchandising. He there spent his remaining days, passing away at the truly venerable age of one hundred and four years. In his business ventures he met with prosperity and was the owner of much prop-

erty in Warren. His children were John, Sarah, and a daughter who married a Mr. Miller.
John Clark, the father of our subject, was born in Warren, and after arriving at years of maturity engaged in merchandising. He also owned a freight line in the early days, carrying freight from Warren to Pittsburg, and his well managed business interests brought to him a handsome competence. He spent his entire life in the place of his nativity and was accounted one of its prominent and influential citizens. His fellow townsmen, recognizing his worth and ability, frequently called him to public office, and he administered the affairs of the city in the office of mayor. His political support was given the Republican party, and in religious connection he was a Methodist. His death occurred in the seventy-third year of his age. He married Anna Blu- ford, and seven children were born of their union, namely: Edmond, Robert G., Norman, John D., Charles, Mary and Fannie.
John D. Clark, whose name introduces this review, acquired his educa- tion in the public schools of Warren, and in his youth learned the sawmill trade and also assisted his father in the store. After the death of his father he accompanied his mother to Ohio, locating on a farm in Ross county. He was only sixteen years of age when the civil war broke out, but prompted by a spirit of patriotism which would have done credit to a man of twice his years he offered his services to the government in April, 1861, and became a private of Company I, Twenty-first Regiment of Ohio Volunteers. He en- listed at Gallipolis, Ohio, for three months, and on the expiration of that term he was honorably discharged, but almost immediately re-enlisted at Jackson, Ohio, in Company I, Fifty-third Ohio Infantry, for three years. As a veteran he again enlisted at Scottsboro, Alabama, in 1864, and remained at the front until honorably discharged at Columbus, Ohio, on account of wounds received in the battle of Bentonville, North Carolina. He par- ticipated in the engagements at Clarksburg (Virginia), Cedar Grove, Lex- ington, Fort Donelson, Pittsburg Landing, Corinth, Black river, Jackson, Vicksburg, Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, Chattanooga and Knoxville, and was on the great Atlanta campaign, where the Union troops were almost constantly under fire for nearly four months. He was in the battles of Re- saca, Calhoun, Dalton, Kenesaw mountain and the engagement at Atlanta in which General McPherson was killed, and assisted in the defense of the body of that gallant officer. The next day he took part in the general as- sault on Atlanta, was afterward in the battle of Jonesboro, and participated in the famous march to the sea under General Sherman, followed by the bat- tles of Savannah and Bentonville. At the last named he was shot in the head, over the right eye, and lay senseless on the field for a half day. He had served as a sharpshooter, was frequently on detached duty, and was well

known to General John A. Logan, to whom one of the orderlies reported Mr. Clark's condition at the time he was wounded. The General promptly ordered him to be taken from the field and cared for, and from the field hos- pital he was sent to Washington and thence to the Seminary Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, still insensible. It was some time before he regained con- sciousness, and for four weeks he continued in the hospital at Columbus, after which he was sent to his mother's home in Ross county, Ohio. He was entirely disabled for business.
For twelve years Mr. Clark resided in Ross county and then removed to Wood county, Ohio, where he spent three years. The following three years he resided in Michigan, and then took up his residence in Fountain county, In- diana, but soon afterward came to Pulaski county, his home being now in White Oak township. Not being able to attend to any active business he has found a pleasurable recreation in hunting and fishing, and is now quite expert with the rifle and the rod. He still carries the rebel bullet in his head and the wound is still open, causing him considerable suffering. Thus his business career was terminated, as he has been unable to engage in any labor, but he has the satisfaction of knowing that his service at the front aided in the preservation of the country whose flag is now known and honored through- out the world.
Mr. Clark had three brothers who also served in the war of the Rebel- lion. Robert was a member of the Seventh Virginia Infantry, participated in a number of battles and died from the effects of his army life. George N. was in an Ohio regiment, was wounded at the battle of Shiloh, and his injur- ies resulted in his death. Edward joined the boys in blue of Pennsylvania, participated in several important engagements, including the battle of Stone river, and died from the effects of the hardships and rigors of war. At the battle of Shiloh Mr. Clark, of this sketch, had sixteen balls pierce his cloth- ing, but with the exception of a slight flesh wound, he sustained no injury there. At the battle of Vicksburg he was shot in the right leg, but remained at the front until almost the close of the war-a valiant and brave defender of the Union.
Mr. Clark has been twice married. In 1868, in Chillicothe, Ohio, he wedded Sylvania Boucher, a daughter of Jacob Boucher, and their children are George, Lettie, Jessie, Anna and Rosie. The mother of this family died in 1892, and in South Haven, Michigan, in 1896, Mr. Clark was again mar- ried, Rose E. Leiby becoming his wife. She was born September 8, 1869, and is a daughter of Jacob and Mary (Hill) Leiby. Her father was a native of Pennsylvania and served for three years in the war of the Rebellion, being once wounded in the knee. He is now residing in North Judson, Indi- ana. His children are Jessie, who died at the age of nineteen years; Will-

iam, who died at the age of twenty-six years; Delbert; Rosie E .; Guiles; Electa, who died at the age of nineteen years; and Levi. Mr. and Mrs. Clark have a pleasant home and a wide circle of friends in Pulaski county. Our subject is particularly well known throughout the community, and has the warm regard of all with whom he has been brought in contact.
WILLIAM J. GRIFFIN.
William John Griffin, of Winamac, Pulaski county, Indiana, was born March 18, 1844, in Andes, Delaware county, New York, as were also his parents, George Slade and Susan Johnson (Akerly) Griffin. Family tradition relates that three brothers of the name came to America during the Revolu- tion and started out as spies for the British. They came upon Washington engaged in prayer, and such was the effect upon them that they abandoned their mission and joined the patriot army. The name has been variously spelled by different ones who have had a claim to it, -Griffin, Griffen and Griffith. John Griffin, the grandfather of our subject, established the little village of Griffin's Corners, Delaware county, New York, where he died about the year 1850, when upward of eighty years of age. His children were Henry, Elizabeth (called Betsey), John, Caroline and George S.
George Slade Griffin was born December 10, 1810, and died May 12, 1857, in Andes, New York. He was a farmer and owned eighty acres of land. He was road commissioner at one time, and in religious matters maintained an active and zealous interest; he always led the singing in the old-school Baptist church, in which he was a deacon. His wife, Susan Johnson (Akerly) Griffin, was born February 12, 1814, and after the death of her husband she left her native town and with her sons, William J. and George J., in the fall of 1862, went to Springfield, Erie county, Pennsyl- vania, where she remained one year and then moved to Conneaut, in the same county. Five years later the family went to Franklin township, same state, and lived there three years, after which they removed to Girard, Pennsylvania, where the mother continued to reside until her death, Novem- ber 17, 1883. She reared a large family of children. The eldest, Hannah Sally Ann, who was born August 10, 1834, died August 12, 1883, having never married. Eleanor Elizabeth, who was born May 17, 1836, died Octo- ber 6, 1893. She married Travis S. Murphy, to whom she bore five chil- dren, -Eleanor, Georgia and William (twins), Mary and Susan. Andrew Peter Griffin, who was born January 21, 1838, is a carpenter, residing at Belvidere, Nebraska; he married Esther Northrop, and their only child, Elizabeth, died at the age of eight years. Parthenia Miranda, born Novem- ber 21, 1839, married James Murphy, of Andes, New York, and became the

mother of six children, -Catherine (deceased), Annie, Rosa, Belle, Hattie and Clayton. Mary Matilda, born March 10, 1842, died May 22, 1874. She married Oliver Murphy, of Andes, New York, and left four children, - William, Georgia (deceased), Ida and John. An unusual circumstance con- nected with this family is the fact that three sisters married three brothers. The next child in order of birth was William J., the immediate subject of this sketch. The seventh child was a daughter, who was born March 16, 1846, and who died in infancy. George Jonathan, born May 4, 1847, mar- ried Louisa French, and after her death married Arilla M. Morris, and they live in Chicago, Illinois; he is a carpenter. Susan Caroline, born July 25, 1849, died January 15, 1860. A son who was born August 15, 1852, died in infancy. Rosalie Jane, born February 23, 1855, married Ed Nason, a car- penter, of Hammond, Indiana, and their children are Allien and Edith.
William Akerly, the great-grandfather of Mr. Griffin in the maternal line, came from Holland. His son William, the grandfather of our subject, was born June 30, 1767, in this country, and married Hannah Washburn, who was born June 16, 1771. They settled in Andes, New York, having removed thither from Dutchess county, that state. Both died at Andes, New York, Mr. Akerly having survived his wife some years. Their chil- dren were as follows: Sally, born November 8, 1792, married Cyrus Burr, and her death occurred at Springfield, Pennsylvania, March 26, 1884; the second child, a son, died January 11, 1795, an infant; Hannah, born Decem- ber 25, 1795, married Peter Shaver, and died at Andes, New York, May 10, 1849; Elizabeth, born February 24, 1798, became the wife of Ira Hull, and her death occurred October 9, 1875; William, born April 4, 1800, lived to attain the age of more than four-score years; Jonathan, born March 29, 1802, died at Battle Creek, Michigan, about 1875; Nicholas, born August 2, 1804, died May 6, 1845, as the result of a burning tree falling upon him, at his home in Andes, New York; Eleanor, born October 29, 1806, married Andrew Hamilton, and died August 3, 1885; Polly M., born October 11, 1810, mar- ried Zedic Bigelow, and her death occurred in 1894; and Susan Johnson was the mother of our subject.
William John Griffin engaged in carpenter work on the day that Lincoln was assassinated. He continued at that line of work a short time, and then turned his attention to farming until 1876, when he again worked at carpen- tering. He lived at Girard, Pennsylvania, until 1880, when he removed to Harrison, Michigan, where he remained until 1885, in which year he took up his abode in Hammond, Indiana. After one year in that place he went to Chicago, where he worked for three years and then started for the west, try- ing his fortune in Nebraska until June 11, 1895, when he returned to Pulaski county, where he has since lived.

BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY.
Mr. Griffin has been twice married. His first wife was Laura Rosine Powers, to whom he was married February 12, 1877. She was born in Pennsylvania in August, 1856, and her death occurred March 19, 1885. Her only child is Erma Lenora, who was born April 18, 1878, in Elk Creek town- ship, Erie county, Pennsylvania. In 1897 she married Harry Powers, by whom she has two children, - William Addison, born September 29, 1897, and Lucile Rosine, born January 7, 1899. The second marriage of Mr. Griffin was solemnized May 3, 1893, when he wedded Mrs. Clara Luella (Dilts) Dyer, widow of Charles Dyer. She was born May 21, 1863, and by her marriage to our subject is the mother of one son, George W., who was born in Belvidere, Nebraska, May 18, 1894. Her first marriage was to Charles Dyer, son of Dr. Stephen Prescott Dyer, a prominent citizen of Bell- ville, Ohio. This marriage was solemnized January 27, 1884, and resulted in the birth of three children : Florence Etta, who was born March 5, 1885, and died September 30, 1891 ; Nellie, who was born in Hiawatha, Kansas, November 10, 1886 ; and Stephen D., who was born in Paragould, Arkan- sas, August 13, 1889. Charles Dyer was born in Mansfield, Ohio, August 20, 1858. His father was a native of Vermont, but died in Bellville, Ohio, April 20, 1898.
Mr. Griffin is firm in his faith in the Democratic principles and has given serious thought to matters of political import. He is a member of the An- cient Order of United Workmen, and is a zealous worker in the Methodist Episcopal church, of which both he and his wife are esteemed members.
PHILIP KULT.
Mr. Kult is an influential farmer of Paris Grove township, near Dun- nington, Benton county, Indiana, where he owns ninety acres of choice land. He was born April 11, 1861, in Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, and is the youngest of seven children in the family of Joseph and Catherine (Puring) Kult. Joseph Kult, the father, was born in Prussia, in 1818, and there grew to manhood, learning the trade of stone-mason. In 1845 he set sail for the New World, landing at New York. Later he went to Pottsville, Pennsylvania, where he worked at his trade for several years, but in 1854 he opened a distillery, which he continued eight years, most successfully, and he then entered the wholesale liquor business. This was a very profitable venture, and was conducted until 1870, when he was burned out. He then brought his family west, and bought one hundred and sixty acres of land in Hickory Grove township, which he tilled until his death, three years later, in 1873. He was married in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, in 1847, the lady of his choice being Miss Catherine Puring, who was born in Germany in 1822.

BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY.
Seven children were the fruit of this union: Mary, who died in infancy; Lizzie, the wife of Andrew Brown, a farmer near Dunnington; Katherine, who married and is now deceased; Joseph, who resides in Hickory Grove township and runs a threshing-machine and corn-sheller; Josephine, the wife of Christopher Anstett, of Fowler; John, who owns and cultivates one hun- dred and twenty acres of land in Carroll county, Iowa; and Philip, our subject, with whom the mother makes her home.
His primary education Mr. Kult received in Pennsylvania. When he was nine years old his parents came to this state, and for the next eight years he attended the schools of Parish Grove township. He then began farming on his father's land, and from the age of seventeen to twenty-five devoted his entire time to the cultivation and improvement of this prop- erty. When he had attained his twenty-fifth year he purchased ninety acres of the home farm, which he now occupies as his home. He purchased a threshing-machine and corn-sheller some time ago, and does quite a profit- able business operating it among the farmers.
Mr. Kult was married March 2, 1886, at the Dunnington church, by Father A. J. Struder, to Miss Gertrude Altpeter. She was born in Illinois, east of St. Louis, Missouri, October 8, 1866, and is a daughter of Stephen and Mary (Winkle) Altpeter. Three bright children have blessed their home: Joseph, born October 12, 1886; Catherine, born February 14, 1890; and Philip, who was born February 29, 1896. Mr. Kult has made a most ac- ceptable township supervisor, and is a loyal Democrat. He is a charter member of the Catholic Order of Foresters, and was a heavy contributor to the fund for erecting the Dunnington church, where he is a prominent member.
WILLIAM LUGAR.
This gentleman, who is the postmaster of Klondike, Wabash township, Tippecanoe county, is one of the popular and enterprising citizens of this lo- cality. He has been engaged in general merchandising here for the past few years and has won an enviable reputation for square dealing and uprightness of character. In 1894 he was elected to serve as one of the trustees of the township, his term of office to run until 1900. Active in the ranks of the Republican party, faithful to his duty as a citizen and voter, he deserves the good opinion and best wishes of his acquaintances.
A native of Grant county, Indiana, William Lugar comes from one of the old and respected pioneer families of that section. His paternal grand- father, Joseph Lugar, was born in Virginia and at an early day emigrated to Grant county, becoming one of the first settlers there. He rented land and.

engaged in farming, at one time, on the present site of the town of Marion, Grant county. Death came to him in 1853, he being killed by a fall. His father, George Lugar, was a native of Germany, and upon coming to America he took up his residence in Virginia. John W. Lugar, father of our subject, was born in Virginia in 1826, and was but six years old when he accompa- nied his parents to Grant county. - There he grew to manhood and married Elizabeth Long, after which they settled upon a farm and devoted their at- tention to the cultivation and improvement of the place until the death of Mr. Lugar. The mother was born in Darke county, Ohio, in 1825, and came to this state with her father in 1840. That worthy man was William Long, a native of Virginia and an early settler of Darke county, Ohio. After his arrival in Grant county, Indiana, he carried on a good homestead in Van Buren township, that county. Mrs. Elizabeth Lugar is still living, her home being in the town of Marion.
William Lugar, subject of this sketch, was born near Marion, Grant county, October 8, 1848, the eldest of eleven children. He remained in his native county until he had reached his majority, his education being such as the common schools and Marion Academy afforded. When he was a youth of eighteen he obtained a certificate to teach, and for twenty-nine years he continued successfully occupied in educational work. In 1880 he went to Otterbein, Benton county, and later he came to this county and taught in various schools. At length he concluded to seek some other field of enter- prise, and he is now proprietor and manager of a general store at Klondike, which place he had the honor of naming. He was appointed postmaster here by President McKinley and is making a popular official.
June 7, 1870, Mr. Lugar married Looma J. Ford, whose birth had oc- curred in Hamilton county, Indiana, November 27, 1846. Her parents, Thomas and Mahala Ford, were early settlers in Hamilton county. The mar- riage of Mr. and Mrs. Lugar has been blessed with five children, namely: Thomas W., Vinette E., Eva E., John M. and Bert V. Vinette E. married Ruth Davis, and resides in Wabash township, Tippecanoe county.
LEWIS B. BADGER.
While the glories of this great republic are being sung, we, the favored generation of to-day, enjoying the prosperity of the closing years of the nine- teenth century, are too apt to forget at what a terribly dear price our happi- ness has been purchased. Lewis Braden Badger was one of the brave boys who wore the blue and whose life was a sacrifice to his country, in whose history he is justly entitled to an honored place among her beloved sons.
His father, Joseph Badger, was a native of Ireland, whence he came to

BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY.
the United States with his parents when he was a lad of nine years. The family located in Fairfield county, Ohio, whence Joseph Badger later re- moved to Marion county, that state, where he passed the remainder of his life. He was born March 12, 1782, and died in 1848, at the age of sixty-six years. He was a man of excellent education and occupied an influential place in his community, serving as justice of the peace and as magistrate for many years. He was a Presbyterian in religion, and politically was a Demo- crat. The wife of his youth was Elizabeth Chambers, and their children were Joseph, Robert, William, James, Eliza and Martha, all of whom are now deceased. The second wife was Mary Ervin, the mother of our subject. She died about 1835, in early womanhood, leaving eight children, namely: Archibald, Sarah Jane, John, Caroline, Richard, Lewis B., Marie and Asa Ervin. For his third wife Mr. Badger chose Mary Coen, a widow, whose maiden name was Williams. She had five children by her first union, namely: Isaac, Samuel, Mary Ann, James and Harvey; and by her marriage to Mr. Badger she became the mother of two children, who died in infancy. Of the seventeen children of Joseph Badger all but six reached maturity, and ten lived to be married and have independent homes. Marie, the next younger sister of our subject, was born September 15, 1833, and married Peter Hartman Skillen, November 20, 1853. He was born April 10, 1832, and died May 1, 1898. Their children were as follows: Mary Jane, born September 10, 1854, died September 7, 1855; Benjamin Robert, born March 2, 1856, married Martha Wood March 2, 1882, and their children are Floyd (deceased), Bert, Ray and Clarissa May; Helen Caroline, born March 20, 1858, died August 18, 1860; Mary Catherine, born April 9, 1869, married Millard Jenkins, and their children are Thomas (deceased) and Robert; Sarah Melissa, twin of Mary C., married Frank Robinson, became the mother of a son, Walter Lee, born November 9, 1892, and was summoned to her reward March 29, 1893; Daniel Asa, born December 4, 1862, wedded Josephine Small, and their children are John, Mabel, Harry, Grace, Charles and an in- fant; William Lewis, born October 14, 1866, died October 14, 1870; Lettie Elizabeth, born April 10, 1869, married William Paul and resides west of Star City, and her surviving children are Hale and Fred; Arilla Maria, born October 23, 1871, and Willard Walter, born December 8, 1874, are still liv- ing with their mother.
