Benjamin F. Jewett .- A home of prayer, where by precept and example every influence was brought to bear which would aid in rearing to manhood and womanhood children of integrity and honor, of usefulness and industry-such was the home of Parker. and Mary Ann (Shear) Jewett, whose son, Benjamin F. Jewett, was born in Huntsville, Randolph county, Indiana, July 13, 1841. llis father was a native of New Hampshire, born in 1809, and his mother was born in Ohio some years later. The father learned the blacksmith trade in his native State and later followed that occupa- tion in New York City and also in Cincinnati. He entered 240 acres of land near Huntsville, in Randolph county, Indiana, but some years later came to Hagerstown, where he purchased property and followed his trade until his death, in 1870, the mother of Benjamin F. having died in 1855. This worthy couple became the parents of seven children: George Washington is living retired in Hunting- ton; Benjamin F. is the second in order of birth; John J. is de- ceased; Rachel became the wife of James Personet, of Richmond,

and is deceased ; Isabel A. is the widow of Fred Weldon and resides in Michigan; Mary Frances became the wife of Riley Saulsbury, of near Economy, and is deceased; and Laura J. is the wife of John Doland, of New Paris, Ohio. After the death of the mother the father married Jane Bowen, of Wayne county, formerly of Pennsyl- vania, and of this union were born three children: Edward Parker is a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church and resides near Indianapolis; Alice is the wife of Lorenzo Farlow, of Franklin ; and William died in infancy. Benjamin F. Jewett resided with his par- ents and received the benefit of their careful and conscientious train- ing until eighteen years of age. Ile received his educational train- ing in the schools of llagerstown, but a few days after reaching the age of twenty years enlisted in Company B of the Nineteenth In- diana infantry for service in the Civil war. This regiment was or- ganized and mustered in at Indianapolis, July 29, 1861. On Aug. 9 it joined the Army of the Potomac at Washington. Its first en- gagement was at Lewisville, Va., Sept. II. It next fought at Falls Church, after which it went into quarters at Fort Craig, near Wash- ington. On March 10, 1862, it was attached to MeDowell's ( Ist) corps, with which it moved toward Fredericksburg and then toward the Shenandoah Valley. It remained at Warrenton until Ang. 5, when it made a reconnoissance toward Spottsylvania Court House. It then joined General Pope's army and fought at Cedar Mountain and Gainesville. At the last named engagement but nineteen of Company B came out of the battle alive and Mr. Jewett was se- riously injured by a gunshot wound, which necessitated his dis- charge from the service. lle then came home and attended school about three months, after which he engaged in blacksmithing, hav- ing previously learned the trade of his father. Ile continned in this business until 1894, when he disposed of his tools and has since officiated as the manager of the gas plant in llagerstown. On Sept. 28, 1865, was solemnized his marriage to Miss Nancy J. Williams, born in Montgomery county, Ohio, Jan. 27, 1844. She is a daughter of George and Margaret (Farris) Williams, natives of Montgomery county, Ohio. George Williams was born about 1814, of Irish de- scent, and spent his entire life as a farmer in his native county. Ile is deceased, but his widow, born in 1816, survives and is a resident of Dayton, Ohio. They became the parents of seven children: Wes- ley served as a soldier in the Civil war, contracting an illness from which he died soon after returning home; Mrs. Jewett is the second in order of birth ; Mary is the widow of William Pyles and resides at Louisburg ; George is a resident of Dayton, Ohio; Sarah is the widow of William Johnson and resides at Pyrmont, Ohio; and James Greeley and Doctor Franklin were twins, the former of whom is deceased and the latter resides near Logansport, Ind. Aside from his connection with the gas company Mr. Jewett is living, practic- ally retired in Hagerstown, where he expects to spend the remain- der of his life in quietude. Two children blessed the union of Mr. and Mrs. Jewett: May Etta, born Ang. 1, 1866, is the wife of Har- vey Ulrich, a blacksmith of Hagerstown, and they have two chil dren-Ruth, born Aug. 6, 1891, wife of Perry L.

at Hagerstown ; and Robert J., born Jan. 6, 1895. Margaret, born Feb. 15, 1869, is a stenographer at Muncie, Ind. Mr. Jewett's fra- ternal relations are with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Grand Army of the Republic, though he prefers the quiet enjoy- ment of his evenings at home with his family. In politics he is a Republican and casts his ballot for the candidate representing the principles and measures which, in his opinion, are best calculated to conserve the interests of the whole people.
DeWitt Clinton Bond, who lived in Green township more than sixty-one years and who was highly respected in the community, was born at Williamsburg, Wayne county, May 7, 1840, of sturdy American parentage. Ile was a son of Nathan I. and Mary ( Bal- lenger) Bond, the former born in North Carolina, Aug. 15, 1816, and the latter was a native of Wayne county, Indiana. The father was a blacksmith by occupation, learning the trade when a boy, and worked at the same in Cincinnati and also at West Elkton, later coming to Wayne county, about 1835. Hle first located in Rich- mond, but afterward removed to Fountain City and still later to Williamsburg. Finally he moved to a farm, one and one-half miles south of Williamsburg, and there erected a shop and wareroom and followed his occupation until compelled by old age to retire. His son, De Witt Clinton, operated the farm and the father resided with the son until the latter's death. Mrs. Bond, the son's widow, re- moved to Richmond in the fall of 1906, bringing the oldl gentleman with her, and he died at her residence, May 5, 1907. During the last twenty months of his life he was an invalid and unable to walk. The mother died in 1848, and they were the parents of five children : De Witt Clinton was the ellest ; Sarah Ellen is deceased ; Alwildie died in infancy ; James is a blacksmith and resides in Williamsburg; and John Harvey is the youngest. The early training of De Witt Clinton Bond was obtained in the schools of Williamsburg and the district schools in the country near by, but his decided inclination for agriculture led him to follow that great branch of industry, and he became a leader in agricultural circles. Ilis mother died when he was eight years old and he then lived with an aunt in Williamsburg until his father married again, after which he lived with his father until he established a home for himself. He then purchased a farm adjoining that of his father, each of eighty acres, located on Green's Fork creek. Later he purchased his father's farm and continued to reside there until his death, which occurred Oct. 9, 1901. Mr. Bond was a very successful business man and built for himself a fine farmstead and prospered. In business he was careful and conservative and made many friends. On July 30, 1861, he was united in marriage to Miss Lucy L., daughter of John and Martha F. (Hollingsworth) Ball, of Clay township. Mr. and Mrs. Ball were natives respectively of Virginia and North Carolina, fol- lowing farming, and were the parents of five children: Mary is the wife of George Roberts, a veteran of the Civil war; Julia Ann died in infancy ; Mrs. Bond is the next in order of birth ; David is living retired in West Richmond; and Amanda is the widow of Richard French and resides in West Richmond, with her daughter.

The father of Mrs. Bond was born March 14, 1816, and her mother on Dec. 26, 1818. When a small boy the father started with his parents to Indiana, by the way of Tennessee, where they resided two years, and then came on to Wayne county, locat- ing about three miles north of Green's Fork.
Horace Hoover, one of the leading citizens of Hagerstown and a native of Carroll county, Indiana, was born Oct. 20, 1864. lle is a son of Jacob and Sally ( Rhinehart) Hoover, the former born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, July 28, 1827, and the latter in Henry county, Indiana, Jan. 6, 1831. The father came to Indiana when fourteen years old with his parents, who located in Henry county, where the paternal grandfather, Frederick Hoover, became a land-owner and continued on the farm which was his first pur- chase until his death. Jacob Hoover continued a resident of Henry county until 1863, when he removed to Carroll county. where ne be- came a land-owner and engaged in farming and resided until 1864. On April 4 of that year the family landed in Jefferson township, Wayne county, locating west of Hagerstown, where the father pur . chased a farm of 167 acres and resided until his death, May 23, 1900. Ile was a minister in the German Baptist church. Ilis widow passed away April 26, 1908. They were the parents of ten chil- elren : Elias M .; Abraham; Jefferson ; Amos, who died Oct. 27, 1881; Samantha, who became the wife of John G. Allen, of Henry county, and died April 28, 1902; America Jane, the wife of George W. Smith; Horace; David and Daniel, twins, Daniel dying Oct. 25, 1872; and Frank. Mr. Hoover purchased his first farm in Lib- erty township, Henry county, Indiana, in 1888. Ile resided on this farm until November, 1908, the tract consisting of fifty-two acres, but he has added to this real-estate since until he now owns 350 acres, all adjoining the original tract in Henry county. In 1908 he moved to Ilagerstown, where he has since resided, being the presi- dent of the Citizens' State Bank. While a resident of Henry county he operated a threshing outfit eighteen years, a business which he still adheres to, being most thorough in the operation of machinery. To his own perseverance and industry and the interest and assist- ance given by his wife-Susan J. (Shafer) Hoover, to whom he was married Oct. 21, 1883-Mr. Hoover owes his excellent start in busi- ness life. They are the parents of two children: Ralph, born Feb. 12, 1802, died Sept. 25, 1893; and Eva, born July 11, 1894.
Charles N. Teeter is to be recognized in this work as one of the representative manufacturers of Hagerstown, and he has been a resident of Wayne county, only being absent for business reasons, since his birth, in Hagerstown, Dec. 15, 1870. His parents were Zachariah and Barbara (Hoover) Teeter, the former born 'in Ila- gerstown, Aug. 3, 1836, and the latter was a native of Pennsylvania.

BIOGRAPHICAL.
The paternal grandfather was Abraham Teeter, who came from Pennsylvania, about 1823, and entered land in Jefferson township. Zachariah Teeter worked on his father's farm until about twenty- six years old and continued a resident of Jefferson township until his death, Jan. 24, 1906. Charles N. Teeter attended school in Dis- tricts Nos. 2 and 3, in Jefferson township, and spent one year in the Hagerstown High School and one summer in the National Normal University at Lebanon, Ohio. When thirteen years of age he began work as a farm hand and continued so employed three years, after which he worked one season in a flouring mill at ila- gerstown. He then attended school about one year, after which he taught school two winters, working at the carpenter trade in Ila- gerstown during the summer seasons. He then entered the em- ploy of the Standard Bicycle Factory at Indianapolis, and in the spring of 1893 went to Muncie, where he had charge of a bicycle concern until the spring of 1894. He then moved to New Castle, where he designed what became known as the "AAlcazar Bicycle." In the fall of the same year he went to Shelbyville and remained there until January, 1895, designing the Light Inspection Car, then called the "Railway Cycle," for general inspection work by railroad officials, bridge inspecting, etc. In the spring of 1895 he organized a company for the manufacture of these cars, the organization com- prising members of the Teeter and Hartley families, with Charles N. Teeter as general superintendent and John H. Teeter as presi- dent. In the beginning the factory equipment consisted of a sec- ond-hand lathe and two second-hand drill presses. The factory was then located in what is now the north end of the cast shop, with a floor space of about 50x60 feet dimensions. The first year forty-six cars were manufactured, but the factory now has a capacity of 500 cars per year. Attention is also devoted to the manufacture of gasoline motor cars, known as the "Teeter & Hart- ley Car." At one time they also engaged in the manufacture of stationery gas and gasoline engines and air compressers, but this branch of the business was sold, in 1908, to the Standard Company at Richmond. The factory employs a force of from 100 to 125 mechanics, with an office force of five people, the business not being of a nature requiring a large clerical force. Mr. Teeter is also interested in a large plantation in Mexico, now devoted to raising corn, but it is intended later to devote the land to the pro- duction of fiber and fruit, although the tract, consisting of 1,600 acres, is situated in the center of the oil district of Mexico. Mr. Teeter owns a tract of land in Arkansas, consisting of 2,000 acres, 400 acres of which is under cultivation and devoted to the produc- tion of cotton. On Aug. 16, 1892, he was united in marriage to Miss Leora E. Nicholson, born at Franklin (now Nettle Creek), Ind., July 23, 1871. She is a daughter of Thomas and Lucinda ( Macy) Nicholson. They were of Carolina stock, the grandpar- ents coming to Indiana in an carly day. The father always fol- lowed agricultural pursuits, and he and his wife continued to re- side in Dalton township until their deaths, his course as a farmer being marked by thoroughness and skill, and as a citizen he was

held in high regard. Their daughter, Mrs. Teeter, is one of two children born to them, and the other, Macy, resides at Melrose, Minn., where he has the position of district superintendent of the Great Northern railroad, having learned the railway business under the direction of James Hill and his sons. Mr. Teeter's success is the more gratifying since it represents the results of his own efforts and those of his faithful helpmeet, for he had no financial assist- ance whatever in making his start in life. To Mr. and Mrs. Teeter have been born four children, whom the parents are offering the opportunity of most excellent educational advantages-Edison Lothair, Macy Orville, Donald Hartley, and Herman Clinton. Mr. Teeter's political affiliations are with the Republican party, and though he takes a loyal interest in public affairs has never mani- fested ambition for official preferment. He is a member of the First Church, Christian Science, at Boston, Mass.
John H. Teeter, a thrifty and progressive citizen of IIagers- town, is a native of Wayne county, Indiana, having been born two miles north of Hagerstown, in Jefferson township, Nov. 8, 1860. He received his preliminary educational training in the schools of Districts Nos. 2 and 3, known as the "Teeter School" and the "Dun- kard School." in Jefferson township. Ile remained at home until twenty-one years old and then engaged witli his father in the flour- ing mill at Hagerstown. He remained thus employed about three years and then went south in the interest of the Deering Binder Company, remaining in the State of Tennessee one year. Because of failing health, caused by being overheated in Nashville, he was incapacitated for business about three years. At the end of that period he engaged in the fire insurance business at Hagerstown and continued so employed until 1895, when he became associated with the Light Inspection Car Company, of which he is the presi- dent. Since that time he has devoted his entire attention to the interests of that manufacturing concern and is also interested with his brother, Charles N. Teeter, in the Mexico and Arkansas enter- prises (see sketch of Charles N. Teeter), he and his brother having the largest interest in those concerns. On Ang. 25. 1881, Mr. Teeter was married to Miss Katharine Rowe, born near Hagerstown, Md., in September, 1859. She is a daughter of John and Lydia ( Brown) Rowe, the former born in Germany and the latter in Maryland, Feb. 13, 1834. The father immigrated to America when a young man and located in Baltimore. He was a musician and became con- nected with a band there, but later removed to Fredericksburg, Md., where his first wife, whom he had married in Germany, died. Of this first umion there were eight children, five of whom are liv- ing: Adam is a farmer and resides in Jefferson township; Thomas is living retired in Huntington ; one daughter is the widow of Mar- tin Werking and resides in Hagerstown; another is the widow of David Werking and resides on a farm two miles west of that vil- lage; and Susan is the wife of David Rhodes, a retired farmer of Mooreland, Ind.

In poli- tics Mr. Teeter is a Republican, but reserves for himself the right of independent views as to the men and measures which he will support. lle is a member of the Christian Science church.
Dr. Charles I. Stotelmyer, physician and surgeon, and one of the leading citizens of Ilagerstown, was born in Wolfsville, Fred- erick county, Maryland, Sept. 7, 1859. His parents-Frederick and Louisa (Schildtknecht) Stotelmyer-were born in that county. In early life the father worked at the carpenter trade, but later gave his entire attention to farming and is now living retired in his na- tive State, at the advanced age of eighty-four years, his wife hav- ing died there about 1900.

Dr. Stotelmyer received his preliminary education in the common schools of Maryland, also attended a normal school, and later entered the University of Maryland, where he graduated in 1892, taking a clinical course in Johns Hopkins University. He began teaching school at the age of eighteen years and for eight years was engaged in that profession. He then engaged in the newspaper business, officiating as editor three years, at the same time serving as postmaster by appointment of President Cleveland. Disposing of his newspaper, he took up the study of medicine, and after com- pleting his course came to Hagerstown, in April, 1892, and there has since practiced his profession. He devotes his entire time to his profession, in which he enjoys a large practice. He has become a landowner in Jefferson township, having 100 acres of farm land, and in 1803 built the residence where he resides, a part of which is devoted to office nse. Dr. Stotelmyer is a Democrat in politics and is trustee of Jefferson township, also occupying the position of health officer of the village of Hagerstown. On Dec. 25, 1882, he was married to Miss Ellen S. Hayes, born in Maryland in 1857, and died in January, 1886, leaving two children- Ona, who grad-

John M. Hartley, a successful citizen, now residing at Hagers- town, was born in the village of Millersville, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, March 13, 1836, son of Josiah and Nancy Ann (Brady) Hartley. The father was born in Wilmington, Del., April 13, 1804, and the mother in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, Sept. 29, 1810. In early life the father learned the carpenter trade and as a young man went to Pennsylvania, where he was married. He came to Indiana in 1838 and located at Milton, Wayne county, where he continued to follow his trade until about 1856 or 1857. His wife having died there, March 26, 1852, a few years later he removed to Hancock county, Indiana, and located on a farm near Greenfield, where he followed agricultural pursuits and also worked at carpentering, and later went to Kansas and resided with a dangh- ter at Horton until his death, March 9, 1887. He and his good wife were the parents of eight children: Joseph L. died in Madison, Ind., about 1900; John M. is the second in order of birth ; Mary A. resides in Kansas City, Mo .; Harriet became the wife of Amos Cranford, of Knightstown, and died at Horton, Kan., March 24, 1888; Henry C. died March 23, 1889; Josiah was wounded in the second battle of Bull Run and died a few days later; Elvira be- came the wife of Thomas Hanna and died May 4, 1900; and George WV. died in infancy. Joseph L., John M., Henry C. and Josiah all served as soldiers in the Civil war. John M. Hartley attended the schools of Milton, and after the death of his mother, in the spring of 1852, when sixteen years old, began learning the trade of cabinet maker, serving an apprenticeship of three years. He then followed that trade until the breaking out of the Civil war, when he enlisted in Company E, Sixteenth Indiana infantry. This regiment was organized for State service at Richmond, in May, 1861, for a one- year term, but when the news was received of the Bull Run disaster it was offered to and accepted by the General Government. It was mustered in July 23 and left the State the same day, being the first regiment to pass through Baltimore after the firing upon the Sixth Massachusetts, in April. It was assigned to Banks' army and sta- tioned in Pleasant Valley. It was attached to Abercrombie's brig- ade and in August moved to Hyattstown. It left there for Ball's Bluff, Oct. 20, reaching there the following morning, and went into line of battle, taking part in the engagement that followed, and was

detailed to cover the retreat on the 22d, being the last to recross the river. On Dec. 2 it moved to Frederick City, then to Ilarper's Ferry, and later to Winchester. It built a bridge across the Shen- andoah at Snicker's Ferry and was in various movements until Warrentown was reached, in April, 1862. The regiment was mus- tered out at Washington, May 14, 1862. Mr. Hartley enlisted in the service as a private, but was made a sergeant while yet in camp at Richmond and was commissioned second lieutenant of his com- pany after about five months' service, officiating in that capacity until the end of his term of enlistment. Later, in 1864, he raised a company at Knightstown for the One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Indiana infantry, and was made captain of his company, but at the organization of the regiment was commissioned lieutenant-colonel. This regiment was organized at Indianapolis in June, 1864. Eliza- ville, Lawrenceburg, Kendallville, Knightstown, Connersville, New Castle, Portland, and Vevay, each furnished one company, New Albany and Metamora, consolidated, furnished one, and Columbia City, New Haven and New Philadelphia furnished another. It was mustered in June 8, proceeding to Tennessee. It was mustered out in September, 1864. Returning to Knightstown, Mr. Hartley re- sumed work at his trade and in the fall of 1866 removed to Hagers- town, where he was employed at cabinet making and also took up carpenter work. Later he entered the employ of Beck & Stone- breaker as bookkeeper and continued in that position a period of seven years. He served two terms as township trustee, was post- master at Hagerstown under President Harrison's administration, and has also served as town clerk and as a member of the school board. In January, 1895, he became the secretary and treasurer of the Light Inspection Car Company at Hagerstown, at the time of the organization of that concern, and still continues in that capacity. His residence at Hagerstown is modern in every respect and so pleasantly located that Mr. Hartley has expressed his intention to pass his days there. In politics he is a Republican and an ardent worker for that party. On Jan. 31, 1858, was celebrated his union with Miss Amanda Macy, born at Manila, Rush county, Indiana, Jan. 6, 1840, daughter of John W. and Elvira (Coffin) Macy, natives of North Carolina. They came to Wayne county from Carthage, N. C., about 1854, and settled at Milton, where they resided until 1858 and then moved to Andersonville, in Franklin county. Later they returned to Wayne county, in 1865, and located at Franklin, in Dalton township, where they lived practically retired until the death of the father, about 1868. The mother then resided with Mr. and Mrs. Hartley until her death. They were the parents of five children: Sebastian is deceased; Mrs. Hartley is the second in order of birth; Horatio enlisted as a soldier in the Fifty-second In- diana infantry, was taken with a severe cold at Memphis, was trans- ferred home and died at the residence of Mr. Hartley, in Knights- town; Mary E. is deceased; and Cordelia died in childhood. To Mr. and Mrs. Hartley were born two children: Laura A., born Nov. 11, 1858, is the widow of Isaac D. Ilines and resides with her father. Charles H., born Nov. 17, 1860, resides at Oshkosh,
