were still here in roving bands, and their contemporaries, the wild animals, still roamed their forests at will. Mr. Moon, the subject of this sketch, was reared here in the midst of primeval nature. His educational advantages were very limited. In 1812, at the age of ten years, he attended his first term of school. It was held in a rude log cabin, furnished with slab floor, slab sents and oiled paper window lights. It was heated with a huge fire-place that occupied almost the full end of the room. This is the description of the pioneer schoolhouses in which Mr. Moon obtained his education. Mr. Moon has witnessed the vast and important changes that occurred in seventy years of the history of Clinton County. He has seen the land converted from a forest into well-improved, fertile fields, and villages grow to cities and thriving towns, and schools, churches and societies organized and established, the very means of enlightening the inhab- itants. These were the achievements of the pioneers, among whom our venerable subject was prominent. Mr. Moon has, through his untiring industry and economy, accumu- lated considerable wealth. In 1829, he removed to Washington Township, where he lived till 1859, when he came to Martinsville and retired.
