DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN.
No citizen of Madison county ever died who left behind him a more lasting memory than that of Isaac U. Cox. of Van Buren township. His death took place at his home on the 6th of June. 1881. Mr. Cox was above the average farmer in the county as to enterprise and in a general knowl- edge of the business of the country. He was looked up to as an encyclopedia of information by his less fortunate neigh- bors by whom he was surrounded. He was at one time quite a prominent politician in the Democratic ranks, and on sey - eral occasions aspired to the office of County Treasurer, but was never successful in receiving enough votre to gain the nomination.
He was born in Tennessee in December, 121, and came to U'nion county, Indiana, in 1839, and from thence to Hunts- ville, in this county, in 1843. In the year ISis he was mar- ried to Mary C. Smith, who survived him and lived for some time after his death. In 1819 he purchased a tract of land. on which he was living at the time of his death, about seven miles north-east of Alexandria. Mr. Cox was serupulously honest in all his dealings with his fellow-man. He was a very kind father, and was particularly devoted to his wife. There was no more hospitable home in Madison county than that of Isaac U. Cox. No person from Anderson. or. indeed,
1020
HISTORY OF MADISON COUNTY, INDIAVA.
from any part of the county, ever visited the home of Mr. Cox who was not generously welcomed. He and his wife were both genial, hospitable people, and it was a real pleas- ure for them to entertain friends at their home. Mr. Cox's death was long lamented, and his memory will long be green in the recollections of the old citizens of Madison county.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The first election held in the township occurred Novem- ber 1, 1837. at the house of Hiram Palmer. It is related that Samuel Fenimore and Hiram Palmer were opposing candi- dates for the office of Justice of the Peace. Each candidate had his " wires" in proper order and thought that he had things "fixed," or at least Mr. Fenimore did. The voting population of the township at that early day did not exceed ten or fifteen voters, so that it required but a few votes to elect, and consequently not so much effort on the part of can- didates as at present. On the morning of the election Mr. Fenimore, with three of his friends, appeared at the polls and cast their votes for Fenimore. They lingered around the polls until it was nearly time for them to close, and. as Pal- mer and his friends had not made their appearance, they were congratulating themselves over their success. But just before the hour fixed by law for the closing of the polls Palmer and his " force," consisting of four voters besides himself, emerged from the brush and voted for Palmer, much to the chagrin of Fenimore and his following. Palmer was elected by one vote, and re-elected subsequently a number of times.
The first Trustee of the township was George Moore.
The first saw mill in the township was built and operated by Moore, Wellington & Harold.
The first postmaster in the township was John Kelsey. The first blacksmith was Jasper Webb. The first druggist was J. D. Marsh in 1871. The first shoemaker was R. Snelling.
PROMINENT CITIZENS.
Among the prominent citizens of the town-hip who have been specially honored by the people of the county is Calvin HI. Allen, at this time a resident of the city of Anderson. Mr. Allen was elected Auditor of the county on the Democratic ticket in 1890, and served one term. In 1891 James M. Ilund- ley was elected Joint Representative for the counties of Madi-

son, Tipton and Clinton, and served one term. A sketch of Mr. Hundley will be found elsewhere.
JAMES M. HUNDLEY.
While the subject of this sketch is not a pioneer of the county, he may, on account of his long residence, be classed among the old-timers. Mr. Hundley was born in Clinton county, Ohio, July 6, 1848, and came with his parents to Grant county, Indiana, in 1852, where he resided until 1863, when he enlisted in the army. During his absence his father

moved to Van Buren township, this county, and located. James served his country faithfully until July, 1865, when he was discharged, and, not being of age, returned to the home of his father, thus becoming a resident of Madison county. He was educated in the common schools of the county, with the exception of two terms in the high schools of Ander-on and Marion. After leaving school he engaged in teaching in Van Buren and Monroe townships for a number of years. His efforts in this vocation were earnest and painstaking and highly

satisfactory both to pupils and patrons. While teaching he devoted much of his spare time to the study of the law. and on the 17th of March. ISSB, was admitted to the. Madison county bar. since which time he has been actively engaged in the practice.
Through the partiality of his fellow-citizens Mr. Ilund- ley has held a number of local offices and in 1891 was elected Representative to the State Legislature from the district com- posed of the counties of Madison, Tipton and Clinton, serving one term with credit to himself and his constituency. He has always taken an active interest in politics and is prominent in local affairs generally. Although an ardent Republican, he is not offensive in expressing his views of measures or men. He is unostentatious both in manner and method, but firm in his beliefs. whatever they may be, and always ready to defend them. Whatever of success he has achieved in life he attributes to his mother, who induced him to attend school and take a course of study. although limited, after his return from the army. He takes pride in the fact that he has seen his town- ship and county make such rapid strides in the arts of peace -has seen the wilderness disappear and the waste places become the abodes of industry and learning. No native con- templates the prescat proud position of the county with greater satisfaction than he, and no one is more enthusiastic over the possibilities of its future.
Mr. Hundley is a resident of Summitville, where he has an office and attends to the duties of his profession. There duties frequently require his presence at the county seat. par- ticularly during the sessions of the courts. where be is held in the highest esteem, not only by the members of the bar, but by all who know him.
Mr. Hundley was married October 21, 1874, to Miss Sarah F. Fenimore, a member of one of the most prominent and highly respected pioneer families of the county.
