Of this union were born three chil- dren: Echo, born March 19, 1883, married John Ernsberger and resides two miles south of Green's Fork; Guy Wert, born Sept. 20, 1886, is the manager of a branch office of Morse & Company, of Chicago, wholesalers of candies, with headquarters at Detroit, Mich., and Aletha Glee, born Sept. 28, 1894, is a student in the Wil- liamsburg High School.
Robert Edward Shute is a resident of Green township, where he is having a successful career as an agriculturist. He is the third in a family of four children born to James Morrison and Sarah (Ford) Shute and was born at Casey, Ill., Feb. 16, 1868. Of the other children two died in youth, and Lulu is the wife of John P. Myers, of Dayton, Ohio, and they have two children-Salina and Catherine. The paternal grandparents were Robert and Mary (Clark) Shute, the former a native of New Jersey, where he served as county surveyor, and the latter was born in Pennsylvania. The father was born at West Alexandria, Ohio, in 1838, and the mother in Manchester, England. The former was a blacksmith by vocation during his active career and now resides at Fountain City. He and his wife were the parents of four children. Robert E. Shute re- moved with his parents to Campbellstown, Ohio, when very young, took advantage of the educational opportunities afforded by the schools of that place, and at the age of thirteen or fourteen years removed with his parents to Lynn. A number of years afterward they removed to Fountain City. For a time Robert E. worked at Commons' dairy and then worked as a farm hand by the month. Ile managed, by the practice of frugality and economy, to purchase the farm of eighty acres where he now resides, in 1896, to the man- agement of which he devotes his whole attention. Ile has improved the place by a new dwelling and other buildings and devotes his attention to general farming. Although he has given stanch sup- port to the Republican party, he has never sought public preferment for himself. He is allied with no church or sect, believing that the standard of righteous living is not set down by the tenets of any faith. On March 20, 1895, was solemnized Mr. Shute's marriage to Miss Martha Sheffer, a daughter of John M. and Sarah M. Sheffer (see sketch of John M. Sheffer). Two children have blessed this union-Leslie Myron, born April 5, 1898, and Dorothy May, born Jan. 10, 1902. Mrs. Shute was born in Wayne county, June 24, 1873.

On Oct. 13, 1870, Mr. Sheffer married Sarah A. Bond, widow of Enos Bond and daughter of William C. and Sarah (Hogsett) Blakemore, of Augusta county, Virginia, where her parents died. She was born in Virginia, April 5, 1845, and came to Indiana with two brothers, a sister and a brother-in-law, in 1863, the family sympathizing with the North in the Civil war that was then in progress. Of the union of Mr. Sheffer and his second wife were born four children: Lulu Belle, born July 31, 1871, married Dr. Bert McWhinney, of Camp- bellstown, Ohio; Martha E., born June 24, 1873, married Robert E. Shute (see sketch) ; Margaret, born June 23, 1878, married Elbert Colvin, of Richmond; and Jacob V., born Aug. 28, 1886, married Nellie Wise, of Clay township, and also resides in Richmond. Mr. Sheffer's early life was spent under the parental roof and in the district schools of Boston township. After his first marriage he rented a farm in Boston township two years, and then purchased a farm in the same township. Two years later he sold that tract and purchased 177 acres of land on the Straight Line Pike, five miles south of Richmond. After the death of his first wife he broke up housekeeping and operated his father's farm until after his second marriage. He then removed to his present residence in Webster township, where he operates 160 acres of prairie land. He is mod- ern in his methods and has made much improvement in the way of buildings, etc., and devotes his attention to general farming. Mr. Sheffer is a Republican in his political views.
George Washington Stiggleman, a prosperous farmer and a man of consequence in his community, now living retired, was born on the old Caleb Jackson farm on the National road, in Wayne county, March 26, 1838. The place of his birth was known as Jack- son's Hill, and the house was a log cabin of the primitive pioneer type, with stick and mud chimney, the jambs and hearth being of clay. His paternal grandfather was Philip Stiggleman, a Virginian by birth, who lived out his career and died in the Old Dominion. The grandmother, Margaret Stiggleman, died Ang. 13, 1841, at the age of seventy-two years. The father, also named Philip Stiggle- inan, was a native of Floyd county, Virginia, and served as a sol- dier from that State in the war of 1812, reaching the rank of major. He was a millwright and miller by occupation and about 1815 came to Indiana, accompanied by his widowed mother, locating at Cen- terville, but afterward removing to Abington, where he followed his trade. IIe organized the first company of volunteers for the Civil war at Abington, but was too old to enter the service himself, and he died on May 20, 1862. He was married to Susan Forkner, of Wayne county, born in North Carolina, Ang. 18, 1802, and she died Oct. 19, 1883. She was a woman of excellent traits of char- acter and a devoted wife and mother.

George W. Stiggleman was educated in the district schools of Abington township, which he attended until fourteen or fifteen years old. His early business training was with his father in the mill, but he also devoted a por- tion of his youthful days to work on a farm. In 1864 he enlisted as a private in Company A of the One Hundred and Thirty-third In- diana infantry for service in the Civil war. This regiment was or- ganized in May, 1864, nine companies being raised in the Seventh Congressional district and one at Richmond in the Fifth district. It was mustered in May 17 and left the State at once for Tennessee. It was mustered out in August, 1864. Mr. Stiggleman followed farming during all of his active career, with the exception of two years when he resided in Abington, and his farming operations were carried on in Wayne county, with the exception of a short time in Preble county, Ohio, and the years 1878-79-80, when he farmed in Huntington county, Indiana. He finally purchased forty acres of land in Green township, but about nine years ago he retired from active labor. Ile is a Democrat in his political views, but has had no time aside from his busy life on the farm to devote to things political. Ile is well informed on general topics, an interesting conversationalist, and a man of strict integrity and sterling worth. On Dec. 14, 1865, he was married to Rosella Otilla Bean, a dangh- ter of John and Elizabeth H (Evans) Bean, the former born on Jan. 17, 1816, and died Nov. 29, 1891, and the latter was born Nov. 3, 1824, and died March 12, 1911.

Joseph Evans died Sept. 2, 1851, and his wife passed away, April 29, 1835. The parents of Mrs. Stiggleman removed from Warren county, Ohio, to Wayne county, in November, 1850, and took up their residence in a log cabin, with stick chimney, their farm being located six miles north of Centerville, in Green township. The farm on which they lived was that entered by Mr. Bean's father-in-law, Joseph Evans, and there Mr. and Mrs. Bean both died. To Mr. and Mrs. Stiggleman were born two children: Sam- nel J., born Sept. 29, 1866, married Mary Paddock, of Preble county, Ohio, and they have three children-John Elston, William Ernest, and Thelma Musetta Elizabeth; and Ada Estella, born June, 15, 1872, married Ambrose Wilson, of Preble county, Ohio, and they

William Henry Craig, one of the prosperous farmers of Green township and a man of prominence and character, was born in Marion county, Indiana, Sept. 30, 1863. His paternal grandparents were Amos W. and Rachel (Lackey) Craig, the former born in New Jersey, July 18, 1818, and died July 22, 1889. The great-grand- parents came from New Jersey and the Lackeys were from Ohio. The grandfather was a farmer in Marion county, Indiana, and he and his wife were members of the Lutheran church. The grand- mother was born in Ohio, Nov. 28, 1820, and died Jan. 14, 1866. The maternal grandparents of William H. Craig were Henry and Anna Beaver, the former born in North Carolina, July 21, 1796, and died in Hamilton county, Indiana, Dec. 12, 1874, and the latter was born in Ohio, June 27, 1811, and died in Hamilton county, Indiana, March 8, 1870. The parents of William H. Craig are Thomas L. and Joanna ( Beaver) Craig, the former born in Ham- ilton county, Indiana, March 31, 1840, and the latter was born July 6, 1845, and died Aug. 31, 1878. To them were born six children, of whom William H. is the eldest; Amos Newton is a farmer in Preble county, Ohio ; James Albert is a farmer in Hamilton county, Indiana ; Marshall Ellis resides in Lynn, Randolph county, Indiana ; and Otto and Watt, twins, died in infancy.

Craig was married to Miss Mollie Hollenback, of Hamilton county, Indiana, and of this union were born four chil- dren, of which the first one died in infancy; Walter is a farmer in Hamilton county ; and Emma and Thomas reside at the parental home. Thomas L. Craig was a long time resident of Marion coun- ty, Indiana, but now resides in Hamilton county. He is a Democrat in his political views and his religious faith is in the Lutheran church. William H. Craig was educated at the district schools in Hamilton county, which he attended until fifteen years old. When his mother died he commenced work as a farm hand by the month, being thus employed until married. Ile then worked one year by the month in Preble county, Ohio, and then moved to a farm south of Richmond, where he resided nine years. In 1896 he purchased his present farm of eighty acres, and in 1906 built thereon a beau- tiful residence. Other and extensive improvements have been made on this homestead and he continues to manage and operate this farm, devoting considerable attention to stock raising, but his farm is conducted along general lines. In politics he is a Democrat and is looked upon as one of the first citizens of his community. On Jan. 4, 1887, was celebrated his union in matrimony to Miss Ella Olive Windsor, born in Preble county, Ohio, Jan. 15, 1859, and of this union two children were born : Portia Josephine, born May 15, 1888, is the wife of Roy Williams, a farmer in Webster township, to whom she was married April 6, 1910; and Horace Darwin, born June 6, 1891, resides at the parental home.

Addison H. Harris is a prosperous farmer of Green township, although during his active career he has been interested in various other profitable industries, and is now living in quiet retirement. lle was born in Wayne township, this county, April 18, 1826, son of Benjamin and Lydia (Hiatt) Harris. The paternal grandfather, also named Benjamin Harris, came from North Carolina to Indi- ana about 1850, entered land north of Richmond, and there spent the residue of his life, dying in the '4os. The father was born in North Carolina, in 1797, and as a child came to Indiana with his parents. In 1828 he removed to the farm of 160 acres he had pur- chased in Green township, and which is now occupied by his son, Addison II., and there built the comfortable and substantial brick residence which is still occupied, residing therein until his death, which occurred in 1894. The mother, born in Virginia, came with her parents to Randolph county, Indiana. Addison Il. Harris is one of ten children born to his parents. Ile was two years old when the family removed to Green township and has lived there nearly all of his life. He worked on the home farm until twenty-four years old and then, in the spring of 1850, went overland to Oregon and thence to the gold fields of California, where he remained three years. He returned by the Nicaragua route and endured all of the vicissitudes of the dangerous journey. Soon thereafter he went to Iowa and purchased a section of land which he held three or four years, and then disposed of it. He conducted a general store at Webster and at Fountain City, in all about twelve years, and was engaged in the mercantile business at Winchester three years. Upon disposing of his mercantile interests he removed to a farm of 160 acres which he had purchased in Green township, located southeast of his present place, and during the succeeding twenty years was successfully and lucratively engaged in the management of it. In 1890 he came to his father's old homestead, where he has since resided. On July 14, 1859, Mr. Harris was united in marriage to Miss Adeline Woods, daughter of Smith and Nancy (Medaris) Woods.

George Frazer is well known in the agricultural circles of Wayne county. He was born on the place where he resides, in Green township, June 5, 1856, a son of James and Maria ( Johnson) Frazer, the former born in Pennsylvania, Nov. 6, 1786, and the latter in Butler county, Ohio, Aug. 8, 1817. The paternal grand- father was Paul Frazer, a member of the Frazer clan in Scotland, who came to America in 1775 as a British soldier for service in the Revolutionary war. He left the army in Pennsylvania, married Jane McPherson, and lived for a time in Philadelphia. Ile later removed to llollidaysburg, Pa., and there lived the remainder of his life. To him and his wife the following children were born : Alex- ander, Simon, Paul, and James, the last named of whom became the father of George Frazer. James Frazer was reared and educated in his native State. There he was first married to Margaret Wertz, of which union there were no children, and after her death he married Martha Somerville, of which union was born the late Judge James S. Frazer, of Warsaw, Ind. (see sketch). The second wife having died in Pennsylvania, in 1837 James Frazer and his brother, Paul, came to Indiana and located in Green township, this county, where the third marriage of James was solemnized. He and his brother, Paul, purchased the farm which George Frazer now occupies, the tract being purchased of Abel Lomax. James afterward purchased Paul's interest in the farm and there was actively engaged in agri- cultural pursuits until he passed away at about the close of the Civil war, secure in the high regard of all who knew him. His brother, Paul, located on a farm southeast of Centerville, where he died. He married a Miss McCord in Pennsylvania, and of this union were born four sons-Paul, John, Frank, and McCord-the first two named being deceased and Frank and McCord reside in Centerville. The second marriage of their father was to Mary Ladd, and of this union there was born a daughter, Catherine, who resides at Centerville with her brothers. James Frazer was a man of fine intellectuality and was influential in public affairs of a local nature. Of his third marriage there were born five children: Mar- tha died unmarried ; Joseph served in the Sixty-ninth Indiana infan- try in the Civil war and died of disease in a hospital at Baton Rouge, La .; Anna married Josiah Knight, of New Garden township, and died in 1903 ; Simon is deceased, and George is the youngest of the family. George Frazer is indebted to the district schools of
528
MEMOIRS OF WAYNE COUNTY
Green township, to the Spiceland Academy, and to the Valparaiso Normal for his early educational training. He taught school for a time and continued to be associated in the work and management of the home farm, where he has continued to reside up to the present time. He has made the best of improvements on the farm, has kept it up to a high state of cultivation, and is recognized as a leader in that most important branch of industry. Mr. Frazer is a member of the Friends' church, as was also his wife. Sept. 9, 1885, bore rec- ord of his marriage to Miss Carrie Williams, daughter of Jacob and Catherine (Pearson) Williams, of New Garden township, where Mrs. Frazer was born Sept. 27, 1861. She died Dec. 22, 1903, hav- ing become the mother of six children : Edna May, born Ang. 10, 1887, married H. R. Iluddleston, Dec. 20, 1906, and they have a daughter, Pauline; Ethel Alice, born Aug. 4, 1889; James Howard, born Nov. 30, 1891 ; Mary Elsie, born July 12, 1894, died March 18, 1897; Esther, born July 2, 1900; and one child died in infancy.
James S. Frazer, deceased, for many years one of the prominent jurists of the State of Indiana, was a native of Pennsylvania, but was a Wayne county product, inasmuch as he was reared and began his career within its confines. He was born in Hollidaysburg, P'a., July 17, 1824, son of James and Martha (Somerville) Frazer (see sketch of George Frazer). His parents were thrifty people, owned a good farm, and gave their son the best available opportunities for an education, which was so improved that it is said there was not a book within his reach that was not eagerly read. Ilis mother died when he was quite young, and in 1837 his father removed to Wayne county, Indiana, then almost a wilderness. In 1840 James S. Frazer commenced the study of law with Moorman Way, at Win- chester, Ind., teaching school winters to defray expenses. He was admitted to the bar in Wayne county, in March, 1845, and in April of the same year opened an office in the city of Warsaw, where he resided until his death, except seven years in Waukegan, Ill., and brief periods when professional and official relations required his absence. He was married Oct. 28, 1848, at Goshen, Ind., to Miss Caroline Defrees, daughter of James Defrees, whose brothers were Hon. John Defrees, formerly United States Government Printer, and Hon. Joseph II. Defrees, a former member of Congress from the Warsaw district. In politics Judge Frazer was originally a Whig, but after the dissolution of that party, in 1852, he became a Republican, and no political contest was held after 1842 in which he did not take part and was an acknowledged leader and power. His party always looked to him as one of its most prominent stand- ard-bearers. In 1847 and 1848, and also in 1854, he was a member of the House of Representatives of the State legislature. While he was in the legislature, in 1854, his efforts were mainly devoted to the establishment of our present system of public schools. Previous legislation had been rendered ineffectual by decisions of the Si- preme Court, and by request of the leading friends of education he was placed at the head of the committee to draft and introduce thie bill which became the law of the State. He gave his whole heart and mind to the subject-feeling its great importance-and the re-
529
BIOGRAPHICAL
sult was the school law of 1855. The most important amendments to that law since that time were urged by him. So to him we are indebted for the beneficent boon of a free education for the children of the State, and Indiana's school system has been copied wholly or in part by many other States of the Union. In 1851 Judge Frazer was elected prosecuting attorney of the Warsaw judicial circuit, and in 1862 was appointed by President Lincoln Revenue Assessor for that revenue district, holding the office two years. Ile was one of the judges of the Supreme Court of Indiana for six years-from 1865 to 1871. Under the treaty of May 8, 1871, be- tween the United States and Great Britain, President Grant ap- pointed him a commissioner on the part of the United States government. The Twelfth article of that treaty required the com- missioners to proceed forthwith to the investigation of the claims which should be presented to them. They were to investigate and decide upon such claims as they were to think proper upon the evi- dence presented to them by each government, and their decision was final. The other members of the commission were the Rt. Honorable Russell Gurney, representing the interests of England, and Count Louis Corti, of Italy, as neutral, chosen by Great Britain and the United States. This commission adjusted all the claims against the English government by American citizens, as well as all against our Government by British subjects, arising from the Civil war. Judge Frazer was in the employ of the Treasury Department, at Washington, from 1873 to 1875, in the adjustment of claims for cotton captured or destroyed by the Government during the war. These positions were in many respects of the highest responsibility known to any agent of the United States government. They in- volved the consideration of claims amounting to $220,000,000, and the duties required the highest order of talent-judicial, financial, and diplomatic. That no greater honor was justly won by any of our citizens in that critical period of our national history than by Judge Frazer, in the discharge of his great and delicate responsi- bilities, will be evident when we remember that his duties were per- formed to the entire satisfaction of both countries-England and the United States. As a jurist he was well known, and his decisions while on the Supreme bench gained for him an extended reputation. Ile was appointed by the Supreme Court of the State as one of the three commissioners, consisting of Hon. David Turpie, of Indian- apolis; Hon. John H. Stonzenburg, of New Albany ; and Hon. James S. Frazer, of Warsaw, to revise and codify the laws of Indi- ana. President Harrison offered him the position of commissioner on the part of the United States for the settlement of the Venezi- elan claims, and thus three Presidents appointed him to or offered him office. But he declined President Harrison's offer, as he was at that time judge of the Kosciusko County Circuit Court-his last official position-which he held by appointment of Governor Hovey, his term expiring Jan. 1, 1891. Judge Frazer died at his home in Warsaw, Feb. 20. 1893. Ilis life was noted for its purity in all respects and his memory is one to be cherished and honored where- ever true manhood is prized.
