John P. Hance was elected Treasurer of Carroll County from the Democratic party in the fall of 1876. and re-elected to the sine office in 1878. Like his father before him. he is in politics a Democrat, but has never desired or earned the reputation of be- ing n politician, preferring the comforts and certainties of a farul. er's life to the struggles and disappointments which not infre- quently fall to the lot of the former.
On March 3, 1851. he was married to Miss Lucinda Viney. daughter of William Viney. a farmer and native of Kentucky. by whom eight children (four boys and four girls) have been born to him, all residents of Carroll County. Mrs. Hance is a member of the Missionary Baptist Church of Camden.
Mr. Hance is a member of the order of Masons, and hus advanced in title to the highest position of the subordinate lodge.
In his connnnnity he is considered a kind husband and father and an excellent citizen. Entering the last half of life's fitful voyage, he is still a hale and vigorous man, and. having lived an : coe R. and Ehner.
abstemions life, and being of a happy disposition and a cool and steady temperament. he promises to rench in years the allotted threescore and tou.
JOHN C. PENN.
John C., the son of John W. and Huldah Penn, was born April 12. 1846. at the old homestead in Jackson Township. Car. roll County, Ind. His boyhood was passed on the home farm. in the cultivation of which he cheerfully contributed his assist ance. He acquired a good common-school education by attend ing the district schools of the township, and grew up well in formed npon all subjects of general interest. By his every-day surroundings he was being educated in the details of farming. ; and, when he arrived at an age to discern for himself and choose an occupation, he wisely selected that with which he was most familiar. Until he attained the age of twenty-one years. he ro maived in the employ of his father: but. upon attaining his ma. jority, he was presented by the latter with a tract of land. par tially cleared. upon which to begin life on his own account. This he exchanged. shortly afterward, for the farin npou which he now resides, and, for three years following, made his home with his parents, enttivating and improving his farm in the mean time.
On the 22d of December. 1870. he was united in marriage with Miss Jennie Kennedy, daughter of John R. and Leah Kennedy, who were early settlers and prominent citizens of Rock Creek Township, in this county. Immediately after marriage. Mr. Poun located upon his farm. where he has ever since contin ned to devote his attention to the pursuit of this his chosen been pation. He is yet a young man, but, by improving well his op portunities, has already gained a fair start on the road to the goal of every man's ambition -a fortune. His fiunocial shecan is the result of his personal industry and tireless energy. rather than any special fortune. He has avoided speculation. content to attain success through the medinw of farming, knowing it to be sure, if slow. In congestion with this pursuit. he has been engaged for some years in the mainfacture of eider, which, under his management, has developed into an industry of considerable maguitnde. He has the latest and best machinery for this pur pose, and his customers come From a distance of ten and twelve miles to have their cider manufactured by him.
Mr. Poun has grown from infancy to manhood within the township where he now resides, and his life and character are so well known that any attempt at portrayal hore, however enlo gistic, would do the subject but feeble justice: and no word from the writer's pen could increase the high esteem in which he is held by all who know him. He is a member of the Baptist Church at Camden, and exemplities his profession in his every- day life.
In his business transactions he has always been actnated by a high sense of honor. and. by his uniformly fair dealing. has established a record for integrity of which his family may justly feel prond.
His noble wife has been a valued assistant in his temporal pro- perity, and has cheered and encouraged him through many a hard struggle. They have a beautiful home, surrounded with the comforts and conveniences of life, and made hapvier by the sunny presence of five bright, intelligent children who have come to bless their wedded life, viz. : Brady Oscar, Amy, Minnie, Ros.

HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY.
WILLIAM R. STEWART.
This gentleman is the descendant of Revolutionary ancestors. His great-grandparents ou both sides were of foreign birth, but, emigrating to the colonies prior to the struggle for independence. took an active part in the war. on the side of the colonists. His paternal great-grandfather came from the west of Scotland, and served in the army of the Marquis de La Fayette. His maternal great-grandfather. Alexander Martin, came from Connty Antrim, Ireland, and served under Gen. Potter in his campaigns against the Indians in Western Pennsylvania. Alexander Martin has left a little legacy to his posterity. which contains a specimen of the ready wit which is so distinctively a characteristic of the Irish nation. This is " A Dictionary of the English Language. Published by N. Bailey, London, 1794." On the fly-leaf of this volume. Grandfather Martin wrote the following stanzas. in a clear, round hand:
" Alexander Martin is my name. America my station : The Miami country is my home. And Christ is my sadvation. * * * When I am dead and buried. And all my bones are roffen. Remember me, when this you see. Lest I should be forgotten. '
The meter. it will be observed. is in the " Yankee Doodle " style-the patriotic air par excellence of the times in which he lived. The book is the property of Mr. Stewart. and is regarded as a priceless treasure in his family.
William R. Stewart. the subject of this biography. was born Angust 5. 1840. in Fountain County. Ind., and is the son of John and Dorcas Stewart, who removed to that connty from Butler County, Ohio, in 1836. At the age of two years. the subject of this sketch accompanied his parents to Tippecanoe Conty. Ind .. where his father died in the following year (1843). His mother was thus left to provide for a family often small children, and. to accomplish this. was compelled to take in work. Often was her son compelled to go withont a meal, until. by the perform- ance of some errand or light job, he had earned the money with which to bny it. When scarcely beyond the years of his infancy. he accepted employment which returned him $1 per week. and thus he contributed his little mite to the support of the family. Under such circumstances. his early education was necessarily very limited. He could not attend school regularly, and his od- ucation in childhood. as well as in later life, was accomplished In by a diligent course of study and individual application. 1850, he came to Carroll County. and was soon followed by his mother and her family. During the first summer, he worked on the farm of his uncle, in this county, and subsequently ontored the employ of Isaac Cooper, with whom he remained until the outbreak of the rebellion. On the 15th of July, 1862, he eu- listed as a private soldier in Company A, Seventy-second Mount- ed Infantry, Indiana Volunteers. Here he displayed all the qualities of the true soldier. and established himself in the esti- mation of his officers and comrades alike. It is a sufficient testi- monial to his bravery and soldierly conduct to say that he rose
by successive promotions from the ranks to the office of Orderly Sergeant. He participated with his regiment in the battle of Hoover's Gap. Tonn .: Dechard Station, Ten. : Chattanooga, Tonn. : Ringgold. Ga. ; Chickamauga. Farmington, Tenn. ; Oko. lona. Miss. : Dallas, Ga. : Noon Day Creek, Kenesaw Monntain, Marietta. Ga. : and in front of Atlanta; also at Rome (a. : Plant .. ersville. Ala. : Selma, Ala. ; and Macon. Ga. He never shunned danger. and was always ready to undertake any task to which chty called him. He participated in sixty-nine engagements, great and small. and at Chickamauga, his horse, which stood near him. was shot. On another occasion, a minie ball passed through his coat: but notwithstanding many similar experiences, he passed through the service withont sustaining any serions in. jury. He remained in the service until the close of the war, when he was mastered ont, receiving his final discharge at In- dianapolis July 6. 1565.
He returned to his home in this county and rented the farm of Isaac Cooper. in Jackson Township. where. until 1879, he was engaged in agricultural pursuits. In 1565, he was elected Trustee of Jackson Township. and re-elected in 1869. In 1872. he was elected Real Estate Appraiser for Carroll County, and in both positions discharged the duties of his office with commendable fidelity. In 1870. he was the Republican candidate for Repre- sentative in the General Assembly, from his district. He had a large Democratie majority to overcome, and success was by no means assured: yet so gallant a race did he make that he was only defeated by nineteen votes in the district. Again. in ISSO, he was the Republican candidate for this office. This was a bit- ter campaign, and party lines were closely drawn. As in the former canvass, he made a strong race. but was defeated by sixty - eight votes.
In connection with farming. he engaged in the sale of agri. cultural implements in IS --. and in 1878 introduced the first harvester and binder used in Carroll County. In 1879. he retired from the pursuit of farming, to devote his time and energies moro extensively to the sale of agrienltural implements, and is now a traveling salesman for Gale & Co., of Albion. Mich.
That his life has been a snecess and his time well employed cannot be questioned. He has risen from the humblest circum- stances, and that by his own exertions and unconquerable will. By a long course of industry and economy. he has amassed a competence, sufficient, at least, to provide against want. Of bis personal and social characteristics, " the best that could be written would be none too good," said one of his friends, in conversation with the writer. All his actions, public and private, have been of a nature to command the admiration of his friends and the approbation of those who do not occupy that relation. He has always been npright, honorable and conscientions: and that such an one should be universally respected is not strange.
On the 5th of December. 1858. he was mited in marriage with Miss Eunice Mills, whose gentle influence nerved his arm in his struggle with poverty. and whose companionship he still enjoys. in the days of his prosperity. She is the danghter of Hamilton Mills, an early settler and highly respected citizen of this county.

JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP.
JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP.
LOCATION, BOUNDARY, ETC.
This township occupies the northwest corner of Carroll County. It is bounded on the north by Cuss County, on the cast by Adams Township, on the south by Tippecanoe Township and on the west by the Tippecanoe River, which separates it from White County. Throughout the township, the surface is ahost uniformly level, and, in certain localities, low and swampy. The only important deviation from this rule occurs in the western part, where a series of gentle nudnlations begin. gradually in creasing in altitude until they reach the Tippecanoe River. where they terminate in bluff banks. Besides the Tippecanoe, there are several streams of minor importance flowing through the township. Of these. Rattlesnake Crock is the largest. This stream has its source in the northern part of the township, and. flowing sonth and east, forms a confluence with the Wabash in the adjoining township of Adams. The other streams are mainly small spring branches having no names.
The soil is a rich black loam, with an admixture of, clay. and is well adapted to purposes of agriculture. The timber which originally covered the lands now cultivated as farms was of the varieties nsnally fonnd in this latitude, viz. : Oak. poplar. wal- nnt, beech, maple, etc. In the low-lying lands, burr-oak and hickory were the prevailing varieties. These lowlands have been greatly improved in the course of years, and. by a judicions sys- tem of ditches and underdraining. rendered very productive.
EARLY SETTLEMENT.
On the 13th day of August. 1831. John Hornbeck entered the east half of the northwest quarter of Section 33, and. early in the following year, came to roside upon his land. We are not certain that Mr. Hornbeck was the first white settler of the town. ship, and, indeed, after the lapse of nearly half a century. there is no absolutely reliable authority for stating to whom that honor belongs, since the facts are confined mainly to the memory of old citizens. none of whom are sufficiently confident in their recollec- tion of events to wish their statements placed on record. so far as regards the question of priority. Mr. Hornbeck was certainly one of the first white men who came to this locality for the pur- pose of establishing a home. and. in all his subsequent life. he was a prominent and leading citizen of the township. There were others who settled here in the same year --- whether before or after Mr. Hornbeck is not now known. Samnel Goslee was among this number. He came to the township in 1832, and. in Sep- tember of the same year, entered a tract of land described as the southwest quarter of the northwest marter of Section 26. He cleared and improved his land, and was for many years one of the leading citizens of the township. Jonas Elston came some time during the year 1832, and, on the 5th of March, 1833. en. tered the east half of the southwest (marter of Section 19. He devoted the energies of his manhood to the improvement of his famn. and joined hands with his pioneer neighbors in all their
efforts to effect the establishment of civilization in the wilderness. He is now an aged man, and makes his home with the family of Robert Gillam, while Robert Million owns and cultivates the farm he cleared. David Lucas entered the east half of the northeast quarter of Section 20, on the 4th of September. 1830, and located upon his land in the year 1532. Sammel I. Moore came late in 1832. and on the 6th of November. 1835. entered a tract of land in Section 18. John Lynch came about the same time and settled near him. but did not enter land. His farm was located about a mile and a half from that of Mr. Moore. Both were good citizens, and bore their share of the burdens of pio- leer life.
During the winter of 1832. there were no new arrivals, James Delzell was probably the first settler of the year 1533. as he emme early in the spring, and located upon a tract of land in Section 1. He remained here until the following fall, retaining his claim by the right of pre-emption: Int. at the time specified. he went to the Government Land Office at Crawfordsville, where he purchased the tract. He was long identified with the inter. ests of the township, and lived to see many important improve ments inangnrated and carried ont. He was a man of local prominence, and served in several offices, including that of Jus tice of the Peace. His son William is the ouly member of the family now living in Carroll County.
William Carson was probably the next settler. He came to the township with his family in the fall of 1533. and entered a tract of land in Section 1. adjoining that entered by Mr. Delzell. Ho cleared his land, and for a member of years was engaged in the cultivation of his farm. Ho was a good citizen. and enjoyed the respect and esteem of all who know him. His sons, William C. and David R .. still reside in the township. the former on the land entered and improved by his father.
John E. Mikesell came in 1533. and entered the northeast quarter of Section 20. where he cleared and improved a fine farm. Ho was a prominent citizen during his life, and was identified with the interests of the township until his death. Jacob Baum. Henry Tedford. James Tedford. David Overly and Peter Brough were among the settlers of 1833, and took an netive part in the improvements inaugurated in the township during their period of residence within its borders.
David Coble came in 1834. and purchased a tract of eighty acres in Section 1. which had been entered in 1830 by John Scott. A small field had been cleared and a cabin was standing on the land when Mr. Coble pureliused it. He completed the work of clearing the land, and, during the residue of his life. was engaged in its cultivation. His sons. Manford. Riley and Daniel, now own and ocenpy the old homestead.
Prominent among the settlers of 1834 were Andrew Campbell. in Section 1: James MeCully. in Section 12: Robert Mitchell. in Section 14: Thomas Patton. in Section 22: John Tedford. in Section 25: Anthony Shultz. in Section 33; and Peter Pence, in

HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY.
Section 34. There were others who came in the same year. 110 doubt, but their names are not at hand. and there is no way of determining who they were.
While the record of land entries. now on file in the court house at Delphi. contains the names of many who were never residents of the township. and not associated in any manner with its settlement and development. it contains, at the same time, the names of those who were among its earliest actual set- tlers. and formed the advance-guard of its pioneer forces. It is a matter of history as well as of interest, to know by whom the various sections of land were purchased, and the list is hereby given in full:
