The father was born Sept. 13. 1817, in Guilford county, North Carolina, and came to Indiana with his parents, in 1820. He followed farming throughout his entire active career and became the owner of the land which comprises the farm upon which the subject of this review resides. He was ever a hard- working, enterprising and thrifty tiller of the soil, was modest and unassuming in demeanor, and enjoyed the confidence and respect of the entire community in which he resided many years. He re- claimed the greater portion of his land to cultivation and made im- provements of a permanent nature. He was ever a loyal and public spirited citizen, though he never sought public office, being a firm believer in the principle that the office should "seek the man" rather than the man the office. When he passed away he left the record of a well spent life and one well worthy of emulation. The mother of David Haisley was born Dec. 5, 1817, daughter of Jesse and Keziah (Stubbs) Overman. The paternal grandparents were Ezekiel and Mary (Mendenhall) Haisley. David Haisley was reared to the sturdy discipline of country life and has been con- tinuously identified with agricultural pursuits from his youth to the present time. His educational advantages were those of the common schools, the academy at Spiceland, which he attended in 1870, after which he spent one year at Earlham College, and he is generally recognized as a man of sound mentality, good judgment and executive ability. In 1873 he took full possession of the old homestead and has since resided on and operated the place, which he maintains in a thrifty and up-to-date condition, following gen- eral farming and the breeding of stock, short-horn cattle being a specialty. He is public spirited and holds the progressive welfare of his community at heart. In his political proclivities he is a staunch Republican, served as trustee of Franklin township in 1888-89, and in affairs pertaining to religion affiliates with the New Garden Friends Church.

D. and Mary Jeffries, of near Chester, Ind. Of this union there is a son, Chester D., born June 30, 1892, a graduate of the Spartanburg High School and a prominent teacher of Randolph county.
Abraham Harris, who for more than seventy years was a resi- dent of New Garden township, was born in Randolph county, In- diana, Dec. 28, 1827. He was a son of David M. and Rachel (Hunt) Harris, the former born in Guilford county, North Carolina, in 1798. His paternal grandparents were Obediah and Maris (Men- denhall) Harris, natives of North Carolina and of English descent, who immigrated to Wayne county in 1813 and located a mill-site at Fountain City. After a couple of years there they removed to Randolph county, where the grandfather entered wild land, in com- pany with his son, David M., and continued to reside there until his death. He was one of the first ministers of the Society of Friends in Wayne county and was a man beloved by all who knew him. At that time there were many Indians in this part of the country, but they always treated Reverend Harris with respect, because he was a Quaker. An old chief who learned that Mr. Harris was a "Penn man" at once assured him of his friendship. At the age of seven years, Abraham Harris accompanied his par- ents to Grant county, Indiana, where they located in the midst of Pottawatomie Indians, in the wilderness, and resided there about one year, when his mother died, in 1836. His father then broke up house-keeping, temporarily, and Abraham and three brothers-Levi C., Thomas, and William B .- were placed in the homes of rela- tives in Randolph county, Abraham being placed with his uncle, John Harris, with whom he remained four years. He then re- turned to the home of his father, who had married Mrs. Sarah Rat- liff and had located on a tract of land, two and one-half miles south- west of Fountain City. There he remained until twenty-two years old, assisting his father to clear the farm, and then purchased a tract of fifty acres of wild wooded land adjoining his father's tarm, to which tract he later added many acres more. Of this original farm at the time of his death he owned eighty acres, which he cleared from stumps, and which ranks as one of the best farms in New Garden township. In due time he erected good buildings and he and his wife occupied them for forty-six years, after which they removed to near Fountain City. Abraham Harris received his pre- liminary education in the public schools of New Garden township, his schooling being limited and of the most primitive type. For about six weeks each year he sat on a split puncheon slab ; the floor was mother earth ; there was a fire-place at one end of the building with a stick chimney, and a log was cut out for a window, over which aperture greased paper was placed in the winter. These con- ditions continued for several years, and Mr. Harris' last and most valuable term of school was for a period of three months with John Ratliff as his teacher. All of Mr. Harris' active career was devoted
800
MEMOIRS OF WAYNE COUNTY
to agriculture, not so much to one specific branch as to general production. His farm was always known as one of the most pro- ductive in the vicinity, owing to the application of advanced methods and scientific culture. Mr. Harris was reared a member of the Society of Friends, and although he ever gave stanch sup- port to the principles of the Republican party as a national organi- zation, never songht nor desired public office. On March 2, 1850, he was united in marriage to Miss Malinda Arnett, daughter of Willis and Elizabeth ( Mendenhall ) Arnett. She was born in Guil- ford county, North Carolina, and came to Wayne county with her parents when about two years old, and was reared here. Mr. and Mrs. Harris went to housekeeping on their own land, and for forty- six years made it their home and did all the work incident to farm life. Their wedded life was for the unusual period of fifty-eight years, when the wife was called to her reward. May 6, 1908. She was an active member of the Society of Friends. No children were born of this union, but Ethel Sanborn, who is a daughter of Wil- liam R. and Adaline (Arnett) Sanborn, and who was born Nov. 14. 1886, was reared by Mr. Harris from the age of nine years. She is married to Arthur Collins, a farmer of New Garden township, and they have a son, Ralph W., born June 23, 1911. Their residence is the beautiful and substantial homestead of Mr. Harris, located on Main street, and is one of the most desirable properties in Fountain City. Nearly the entire life of Mr. Harris was spent in this county and he endeared himself to a host of friends by his qualities of kindliness and honesty. He was the administrator of a great num- ber of estates and was well known for his care and honesty in such settlements. Ile well remembered the Underground Railroad days and was well acquainted with Levi Coffin. He remembered the building of Coffin's famous residence, now the local hotel, and saw hidden there Eliza Harris, the well known character in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and he remembered the search made for her in Cof- fin's residence by her master and his helpers. The father and brother of Mr. Harris aided in hauling many a load of slaves from Coffin's to the next depot of the Underground Railroad, these trips being always made at night. Mr. Harris always enjoyed good health, with the exception of one attack of typhoid fever, until the illness which caused his death, Sept. 6, 1911.
Nathan Harlan has attained to success and prestige as a repre- sentative farmer and is the owner of a productive and well improved farmstead in the township of Franklin. Ile is a native of Hoosier State, born on the farm where he resides, Sept. 16, 1831. son of Elihu and Anna (Gist) Harlan, the former a native of South Carolina. Elihu Harlan removed with his parents to Kentucky in early youth and in 1816 came to Indiana, locating in Wayne county. where he entered the farm now occupied by his son, Nathan, and there he resided and was for many years a successful farmer. One of the sturdiest of representatives of the substantial and durable South Carolina stock, he was ever a hard-working, conscientious and thrifty man and a generous and indulgent husband and father. One of the kindliest and most brotherly of men, he did not permit

his feelings to influence his judgment. Always tolerant of the de- sires and opinions of others and willing to yield in minor matters, he never compromised with that which he knew to be wrong. On May 8, 1872, he passed to the life eternal, admired and esteemed by the entire community in which re resided. His wife, a daughter of Benjamin Gist, died on June 23, 1872, and of their union were born ten children: Lucinda married William Anderson (both de- ceased) and they had seven children-Elihn, Samuel, Jacob, John H., Martha, Mary, and Anna; Hannah married George Thompson (both deceased) and they had eight children-Wilson, Elihu, Eliz- abeth, Edith, and four are deceased; Edith died at the age of twelve years; Joseph G. married Mary A.

Tillson and they had seven children-Nettie, Minnie, Olive, and Ella, and three died in in- fancy ; Nathan is the eighth in order of birth ; Stephen married De- laney Chance; and Anna married Reuben Tillson and they had three children-Everett, Rose, and Nora. The subject of this re- view was reared on the home farm and early began to contribute his quota to its work, in the meanwhile availing himself of the ad- vantages of a school held in a log building at Bethel. He remained at home until eighteen years old and then removed to Darke county, Ohio, where he rented his father-in-law's farm two or three years. He then removed to Hollandsburg, where he conducted a hotel about three months, after which he returned to the old home place, which he rented of his father. About 1856 he opened a general store at Bethel, and this enterprise he continued about twenty-five years, but in 1881, on account of ill health, he was compelled to re- tire from that business. He disposed of his stock and went back to the old home place and engaged in general farming, which occu- pation he continues to prosperously follow there. He is a man of broad and liberal views and employs much discrimination in at- tending to the various details of his business, and he has achieved success and prominence in his chosen field of endeavor. He enjoys the utmost respect of his neighbors and is widely recognized as a progressive and enterprising business man. Politically he is a staunch supporter of the cause of Republicanism and has taken a profound interest in public affairs, having served as township trus- tee eight years and representative in the legislature from Wayne county two terms. Reared in the Christian faith, he is an active and faithful member of the church of that denomination at Bethel. On Jan. 18, 1849, Mr. Harlan was united in holy wedlock to Miss Sarah Tillson, daughter of Isaiah and Hannah (Stewart) Tillson, natives of Vermont.
