Surname: Jackson, Greenstreet, Blake, Lewis, Dudley, Cronk, Coon, McKee, Huston, Wilhoit Compendium of Biography Of Henry County, Indiana B. F. Bowen 1920 THOMAS BENTON JACKSON It is an axiom demonstrated by human experience that industry is the keynote to prosperity. Success comes not to the man who idly waits, but to the faithful toiler whose work is characterized by sleepless vigilance and cheerful celerity, and it was by such means that Thomas B. Jackson has forged to the front and won an honored place among the substantial citizens of Henry County. He is widely and favorably known as a man of high character, and for a number of years his influence in the community has been marked and salutary. Thomas Benton Jackson was born in Wayne Township, Henry County, Indiana, December 27, 1851, and is the son of Washington and Matilda J. (Greenstreet) Jackson. The emigrant ancestor of the Jackson family was William Jackson, a native of Ireland who crossed the ocean with his parents when he was but eight years old. They came to Indiana and settled in Wayne township, Henry County, where he was reared and there he entered land. On this land Washington Jackson, the father of the subject, was reared and learned the business of farming, in the meantime eceiving his education in the primitive log school house. He married Matilda J. Greenstreet, and in 1852 he located in Harrison Township, where he obtained possession of one hundred and sixty acres of land. It was almost entirely un- improved, but he was energetic and ambitious and at once started in to create for himself a comfortable home. It was swampy land and many of his friends thought he was making a mistake to select land of this character. However he thoroughly ditched the land and cleared out the brush and timber and in the course of time brought the place to a high standard of cultivation. At his death it was concede& to be one of the finest farms in Henry county. Besides this tract he owned forty acres elsewhere. To him and his wife there were born twelve children, of whom those living at present are Viretta, the wife of Ira Blake; Thomas Benton. The subject; Margaret J., the wife of Albert Lewis and Mary, the wife of Jackson Dudley, of Hancock County, this state. The subject of this notice was born in Wayne Township, but was reared in Harrison Township, being taken to that township when he was but six months old. Here he attended the district school, obtaining a fair education, and in the meantime was initiated into the mysteries of husbandry. He worked by the month for his father until he was twenty-four years old, at which time he had saved about four hundred dollars. He bought forty acres of land and lived upon this place until 1895. October 14, 1901, Mr. Jackson moved to Shirley, where he has since resided. He started in life with but forty acres of land and indebtedness of one thousand dollars, but as the result of his wise management and sound judgment he has now two hundred and forty acres of land and is worth probably fifteen thousand dollars. He is diversified in his farming operations, as every successful farmer should be, and his sound business policy and the honorable course he has pursued in all his relations with others has brought him the warm regard of all who are acquainted with him. Mr. Jackson has been twice married. His first marriage occurred August 27. 1876, the lady of his choice being Miss Lydia A. Cronk. She was born in Wayne County, this state, but when ten years of age was brought by her parents to Henry County, locating in Greensboro Township. She attended the common schools and also to some extent the high school. This union was blessed with the birth of three children, one deceased, Arminta M., born July 9, 1871, the wife of Lafe Coon, and Verlie F., born April 24, 1883, lives with his grandmother Cronk. Mrs. Lydia Jackson died on the 9th of January 1893,’ and on the 24th of August 1895, he married the widow of James McKee, and the daughter of Thomas and Mary (Huston) Wilhoit.Politically Mr. Jackson is an adherent of the Democratic Party, though in obedience to the dictates of his conscience he has recently cast his ballot in favor of the Prohibition Party. Religiously the families are all members of the Methodist Episcopal church at College Corners and hare been active in the work of the church, the subject having served as class-leader, secretary and superintendent of the Sunday school. He is a man who has been deeply interested in all that goes to the betterment of his community and has taken a part in the furtherance of several improvements, at present being a stockholder in two gas wells. The qualities which have made him one of the successful men of Henry county have also brought him the good will and esteem of his fellow citizens, for his career from the beginning has been one of well-directed energy, strong determination and honorable methods. Endowed by nature with strong powers of mind and possessing the energy to direct his faculties in the proper channels, he early became a man of resourceful capacity, as the able management of his affairs abundantly testifies. Socially he is a most agreeable gentleman, always genial and pleasant in manner and possessing the happy faculty not only of making friends but of binding them to him by his good qualities of head and heart.

Nowadays, most professional photographers who sell their negatives also include a letter permitting use of the negatives by the owner (in other words, relinquishing copyright ownership of the images). In the 1930's, I would doubt that this was done. It might simply be possible for you to have the owner of these images sign a waiver for you stating that he/she does in fact own the copyright and/or has permission to use them and is allowing you to use them as well. One other thought: if these were taken in the 1930's, it is quite conceivable that some of the subjects of these portraits might still be alive.

Surname: Steele, Grant, Cooper, Hurst, Newby, Thrawley, Steele, Cooper, Ice, Higinbotham, Howren Compendium of Biography Of Henry County, Indiana B. F. Bowen 1920 WRIGHTER R. Steele, Holding worthy prestige among the public men of Henry County, enjoying popularity and maintaining a representative position as identified with the professional and social life of the city of New Castle, it is signally befitting that in this connection be given a resume of the life history of the well-known gentleman whose name forms the caption of this article—a man of marked ability and wide influence. In no profession is there a career more open to talent than that of the law and in no field of endeavor is there demanded a more careful preparation, a more thorough appreciation of the ethics of life or of the underlying principles which form the basis of human rights and privileges. Unflagging application, an intuitive wisdom and a determination fully to utilize the means at hand are the concomitants, which insure personal success and prestige in this great profession, standing as it does, the stern conservator of justice. It is a calling into which none should enter without a just recognition of the many obstacles to be encountered and overcome and the battles to be won, for success does not perch upon the falchion of every person who engages in the competitive fray, but comes only as the legitimate result of innate capacity, unmistakable ability, strengthened by long consecutive intellectual and professional discipline. The subject of this review, although comparatively a young man, has attained precedence as an able lawyer and successful practitioner, occupying a conspicuous place at the Henry county bar, and filling an important office, which has brought him in close touch with the court, his professional brethren and the public at large. James Steele, father of the subject, was born in Ohio, not far from the birthplace of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, and when a boy accompanied his parents. John J. and Ann Steele, to Henry County, Indiana. His parents were among the early pioneers of the part of the state and died here a number of years ago at advanced ages. James Steele grew to maturity in the county of Henry and when a young man married Miss Matilda Cooper, whose father, Hon. Robert Cooper, a native of Indiana, represented this county in the lower house of the general assembly from 1838 to 1840 inclusive. Mr. Cooper was a man of considerable local prominence and lived for many years at the town of Rushville, where his death occurred long since, after reaching a ripe old age. James Steele was a blacksmith and. with the exception of four years spent in the army during the late Civil war, worked at the trade at Ogden and Knightstown until his death in 1898 at the age of sixty-three. He responded to the first call for volunteers, enlisting in 1861 in the Sixth Indiana for the three-months service. At the expiration of that time he joined the Sixteenth Indiana Infantry, upon the organization of which he was elected captain of Company G, and as such served with distinction until the fortunes of the Confederacy went down at Appomattox. He participated in a number of the bloodiest battles of the war, was three times wounded and was released from the service at the end of the struggle with a record for bravery and gallantry untended by the commission of a single unsoldierly act. During the last three years of his life he was totally blind, his eyesight failing as the direct result of one of his wounds. Politically he was an ardent Republican and fraternally held membership in the Grand Army of the Republic and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He was three times married, Matilda Cooper being his second wife. By his first companion he had one son, Harry Steele, a blacksmith working at his trade in Knightstown. His other children are Charles, a blacksmith who died at Knightstown in 1890 at the age of forty years; Wrighter R., of this review, and Frank, who is engaged in the drug business at the above place. Mr. Steele’s third wife, who survives him, was Eliza R. Hurst, now living in Knightstown. Wrighter R. Steele was born in the village of Ogden, Spiceland township, Henry County, June 28; i866, and spent the first eleven years of his life at the place of his birth. In 1878 he was taken by his parents to Knightstown, where he grew to maturity, graduating from the high school of that city with the class of 1886. Impressed with a strong desire to enter the legal profession, he embraced every opportunity to cultivate those faculties which were deemed requisite to successful practice in the future; hence while yet a mere youth he manifested great fondness for forensic disputation and acquired no little skill in the usages incident thereto. His early purpose to become a lawyer was realized soon after completing his school course, entering in 1886 the office of Hon. L P. Newby, of Knightstown, under whose direction he prosecuted his legal studies until his admission to the Henry County bar two years later, effecting a co-partnership with his preceptor under the firm name of Newby & Steele, he practiced his profession at the above place until 1896, at which time he was elected prosecuting attorney of the fifty-third judicial circuit. The better to discharge the duties of his position, Mr. Steele removed to the county seat, where lie has since resided, devoting all of his time and attention to the office, the business of which .has been large, and at times exceedingly onerous. He assumed the duties of prosecutor in October of the above year and his career since then has been marked by duty ably and faithfully performed in behalf of law and order. Within the last four years he has been untiring in upholding the dignity of the state of Indiana by bringing lawbreakers to the bar of justice and securing convictions of criminals, his record in this respect surpassing that of any of his predecessors. Thus far he has succeeded in securing thirty-four commitments to the state prison, several for long terms and two for life sentences, the first ever meted out to criminals in the history of the county. Mr. Steele’s first case as prosecutor was a murder trial in which one John Thrawley was indicted for the willful and unprovoked killing of one of his neighbors. The usual plea of self-defense was entered by the attorneys for the defendant and a long and exceedingly hard legal battle was fought, during the progress of which the prosecuting attorney especially distinguished him-self, completely upsetting the plea and showing its fallacy and absurdity by indisputable evidence, backed by strong and logical argument, forcibly and elegantly presented, the jury returned a verdict of murder in the second degree and imposing a life sentence. The second murderer whom he prosecuted and whom he succeeded in convicting and sending to the penitentiary for a term of years was an employee of the Tin Plate Company of Middletown. Who killed the superintendent of the factory by crushing his skull with a piece of gas pipe. This was also a hotly contested case, characterized by ability on the parts of both prosecution and defense but the conflicting testimony was such as to render a verdict for murder in the first degree impossible. Additional to the above instances, it was Mr. Steele’s duty to prose cute two other prisoners charged with the heinous crime of murder and in the management cases he displayed ability, which strengthened his already well-established reputation as a prosecutor and won for him the praise of his professional brethren and the confidence of the public. In April, 1902, Mr. Steele, in connection with D. C. Ice and Samuel Higinbotham, organized and placed in operation the New Castle Shovel Company, which has a capacity of manufacturing one hundred dozen shovels daily. The enterprise is incorporated under the state law with a capital stock of sixty thousand dollars and employs about fifty men. Mr. Steele was elected its secretary, while Mr. Ice is the president, and Mr. Higinbotham is vice-president. Mr. Steele is an untiring worker and subordinates every other consideration, however important, to his strong desire to met out justice to the criminal and maintains the dignity and supremacy of the law. His habits of industry, with other qualities which guarantee ultimate promotion1 in his chosen calling, have tended to enlarge the area of his professional advancement and he stands today among those ranking highest in legal attainments. Studious and judicious in the preparation of his cases, painstaking and thorough in their presentation and untiring and absolutely fearless in their prosecution he maintains the soundness and justice of his position by strong arguments, frequently securing verdicts at the hands of juries by logical appeals presented with great magnetic force. Eminently popular as a lawyer he is equally so as a citizen, standing high in the respect and confidence of the public and by his pleasing personality and genial manners winning and retaining many warm personal friendships throughout the county. Prior to his election as prosecutor, he served for some time as city attorney of Knightstown, in which position he early gave evidence of the successful career which has since marked his course as a bright and enterprising member of a bar long noted for the high order of its talent. Like the majority of aggressive professional men, Mr. Steele takes an active interest in matters political, upholding the principles of the Republican Party and striving with all the power at his command to promote its success. As a member of the county central committee he has rendered valuable and effective services, both as a skillful planner of campaigns and an ardent worker at the polls; at the same time he is a courteous partisan, never stooping to the disreputable practice characteristic of the professional politician and office seeker. Mr. Steele is prominent in Odd Fellowship, having more than once been chosen to represent his lodge in the grand lodge and while there serving on various important committees and taking an active part in the deliberations. He was one of the committee, appointed in 1901 to receive the sovereign grand lodge, which met in Indianapolis in September of that year. He is also connected with the Pythian brotherhood, the Masonic fraternity, and as a member of the Sons of Veterans served one year as judge advocate of the Indiana division. The married life of Mr. Steele began on the 6th day of November 1895, when he and Miss Effie - Howren were united in the holy bonds of wedlock. Mrs. Steele is the daughter of Thomas J. Howren, of Knightstown, ex-county treasurer, and was born in the village of Greensboro. She was educated in the Knightstown public schools, is a lady of many sterling qualities and popular with a large circle of friends and a devout member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. One son has come to brighten the home of Mr. and Mrs. Steele, James Thomas, an interesting lad in whom are centered many bright hopes for the future. Mr. Steele is a believer in revealed religion and uses his means as well as his influence to promote its efficiency as an agency for the moral and spiritual regeneration of humanity. Like his wife, he is a Methodist belonging with her to the congregation worshipping in New Castle. Of a social disposition Mr. Steele has by his courteous manner and genuine worth won a warm place in the hearts of his friends, whose name is legion.

Surname: Grubbs, Duggins, Comstock, Grubb, Lennard, Rogers, Nation, Ellison, Wrigley, Lyle, Harwood, Redding, Martindale, Drake, Goode, Elwood, Pleas, Hoover, Wilcox, Scott, Elliott, Waters, Greenstreet, Current, Fulton Compendium of Biography Of Henry County, Indiana B. F. Bowen 1920                                           THE NEW CASTLE COURIER. The New Castle Courier was founded in 1841 by John W. Grubbs. although the paper had been issued at Knightstown since 1837 under the head of the Indiana Sun. but its existence as the Courier dates from June 12, 1841. In 1843 H. C. Grubbs became a partner in the concern, but in 1846 it was sold to C. V. Duggins, who died in 1850, and his executor, James Comstock, managed the paper a short time until John W. Grubbs again took possession, he keeping the plant until 1853. when George W. Lennard and Coleman Rogers purchased it. In 1854 it was sold to Nation & Ellison, in the same year Wrigley & Lyle purchased it and in 1856 C. E. Harwood and Thomas B. Redding became the owners. E. B. Martindale, L S. Drake, Drake & Goode and Elwood Pleas were the next proprietors respectively. In 1869 Mr. Pleas sold to M. E. Pleas and H. H. Hoover. Later owners were A. G.Wilcox, Calvin Scott, Adolph Rogers and Rogers and Pleas. In 1870 a stock company purchased the plant for ten thousand dollars and installed Adolph Rogers as editor. In 1877 W. H. Elliott took charge of the paper as manager and eventually bought in all the stock and proceeded to make the paper the leading Republican newspaper of eastern Indiana. In 1898 Mr. Elliott volunteered for duty in the war with Spain and to Mark 0. Waters, his assistant manager for the previous seven years, was given the management of the paper. Some months later Mr. Waters associated with himself Joseph A. Greenstreet and together they operated the plant until October 1, 1899, when they purchased the establishment. A year later Mr. Greenstreet assumed the duties of county superintendent of schools and retired from active management with the paper, but retains his financial interest in it. Mr. Waters is the active manager at the present time. In 1896 a daily edition was established and has steadily grown in popularity until it now has an extensive circulation. The political policy of the paper has been uncompromisingly Republican and has renderedvaluable aid during political campaigns.Mark 0. Waters was born on a farm seven miles north of New Castle, in Prairie township, Henry county, Indiana, November 21, 1867. His grandfather, George Waters, was one of the first settlers of the county, coming from Virginia in the thirties and entering from the government a tract of land upon which he spent his life and which is yet in the possession of the family. When he settled there a tribe of Indians still occupied a part of the land. The borne was the refuge of the pioneer Methodist preacher, of the Cartwright and Finley type, and many rousing, shouting meetings were held beneath his roof or in the shade of his poplar, walnut and oak for- ests. His farm was covered with a dense growth of these trees of the largest size and in order to clear the land timber of untold value was burned in the log heap. His barn and house were made of poplar logs and his fences were made from poplar and walnut rails, some of which still endure the tests of time. James, the eldest son, taught school in one of the first school houses erected in the forest. It was built by a neighborhood of pioneers, near what was called “Bear Pond,” and was made of logs and with a puncheon floor. Nothing now remains of the old school house but a few scattered timbers and an old tree of great size marks the site of the building. James Waters married Margaret Current, of whose family there is genealogical record dating back to the Revolution, where gallant service was rendered the cause of freedom. Mark 0. Waters grew up on the farm, spending his boyhood years much as do other farmer boys, but he learned the stories of the pioneers, he knew the historic land marks and their traditions and his farm home with its surrounding country were dear to him because of those cherished connections with his ancestors. He was educated in the district schools until sixteen years of age, then entered the New Castle public schools, and later spent two years at DePauw University. He then engaged in teaching, which he continued with success for four years, only discontinuing that profession to engage in the newspaper business. In the fall of 1890 he came to New Castle to assist on the reportorial force of the Courier during the week of the Henry county fair and his work was so pleasing to W. H. Elliott, the manager and proprietor, that he was immediately tendered a position as reporter. He accepted and became a resident of New Castle in September, 1890. He was promoted to the position of city editor and assistant manager and in 1898 when Mr. Elliott volunteered for duty in the Spanish-American war the entire management fell upon him. Mr.Waters is particularly gifted with the ability for hard work and the faculty for concentra tion of all his powers to the work in hand, which has been rewarded in his continued connection with the paper by its almost phenomenal success. Mr. Waters was married October 23, 1895, to Miss Alice Fulton, of Colusa. California. They have one child. William James, born January 6, 1900. Both Mr. and Mrs. Waters are members of the Methodist church in New Castle and take great interest in Sunday school and Epworth League work. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity and belongs to New Castle Commandery No.44, Knights Templar. He is also a member of the board of school trustees and is interested in the various public improvements of the town. Although a young man, Mr. Waters has risen to a good business footing among his fellow citizens, where his advice is much sought and his opinions valued on all matters of public interest.

Surname: Barnard, Philip, Folgers, Macy, Davis, Chambers, Hallenger Compendium of Biography Of Henry County, Indiana B. F. Bowen 1920 HON. WILLIAM 0. BARNARD.The administration of justice, a very important factor in the well-being of civilized society and the true bulwark in the proctection of the rights of man, will be found in the courts, the presiding officers of which usually attain their exalted positions through moral characteristics, their erudition, their astuteness and keen-sightedness, their firm and unwavering sense of right and wrong,and their aptitude in sifting evidence in such a manner as to separate the pertinent from the irrelevant. William 0. Barnard. judge of the fifty-third judicial circuit of Indiana and residing at New Castle, Henry county, was born October 25, 1852, in the vicinity of Liberty, Union county, Indiana. When he was two years of age his parents removed to Dublin, Wayne county, and thence, two years later, to Fayette county, where William 0. passed his boyhood on a farm until 1866, when he came to Henry county. Of the incidents following this event mention will be made further on; in the meantime,reference may be made to a few ancestral facts. The paternal ancestois of Judge Barnard were among the earliest~ settlers in Massachusetts, and of these Thomas Barnard was a colonial soldier who was killed by the Indians in the King Philip war of 1675. Among these ancestors were the Folgers and Macys, one of whom, Thomas Macy, was the first white settler on Nantucket Island, in 1660, driven from the colonies on the main land by Puritan intolerance no less than that which he had experienced in England. The crime for which he was banished was the Christian virtue of charity, he having given shelter to two strangers, who proved to. be Quakers, against which sect the Puritans were very bitter. Some time prior to the opening of the Revolutionary wat many Nantuèket families who were Quakers had removed to North Carolina, but African slavery, as it then existed in that state, was so obnoxious to them that many, including the Barnard family, sought a more congenial home on the free soil of Indiana. In 1818 William Barnard, grandfather of W. 0. Barnard, settled just east of Liberty, in Union county, Indiana, on a farm and resided there until the father, Sylvester Barnard, was a young man, when he moved to Fayette county, where he died in 1861. He was one of the leaders of the early Friends (or Quakers) and took an active interest in all that the society stood for in his time. William 0. Barnard was primarily educited in the common or district schools and then for three terms attended Spiceland Academy under the tutelage of the late Clarkson Davis. During the winters, in the meantime, Mr. Barnard taught school and for one year was principal of the school at Economy, Wayne county, and for one year taught in a New Castle school. In 1876 Mr. Barnard began to read law, and upon his admission to the bar, in 1877, began practice in New Castle, being for a short time in partnership with D. W. Chambers, and afterward practicing alone. In 1886 Mr. Barnard was chosen prosecuting attorney for the eighteenth judicial circuit, composed of Henry and Hancock counties, and two years later was re-elected. In 1889 Henry county was erected as the fifty-third judicial district. bi which he also served as prosecuting attorney for two years. In 1896 Mr. Barnard was elevated to the bench, and during his term tried as many cases as any one who ever occupied the bench. Judge Barnard. has long been one of the most active members of the Republican party in Henry county, and has been earnest and consistent in his advocacy of the principles of his party. As a lawyer Judge Barnard has always been a safe and conscientious adviser and as an advocate his every address has had a tendency to place the bar of Indiana on a more elevated plane: as a judge, his decisions have been well considered and digested, and have been generally sustained on appeal. He holds relationship with several societies and fraternal organizations, and has hundreds of warm-hearted friends who respect him for his many fine personal attributes, regardless of party or society tie. In 1876 Judge Barnard was most happily united in marriage with Miss Mary V. Hallenger, a native of Henry county, with whom he became acquainted while at school at Spiceland. They have four children, Paul, George M., Ralph W. and Ruth. Judge Barnard is not a member of any church, but on account of his wife’s church relationship and his early associations and education is strongly attached to the Friends and attends and contributes to the support of the Friends meeting at New Castle.

Hi all, I can't remember who I talked to regarding the Kemp family. I am researching the Kemp family in Henry County, Indiana. I have Isaac R. Kemp, born July 19, 1841, in Shelby County, Indiana, he married Margaret Matilda Smith, September 1, 1917, in Shelby County, Indiana. Margaret Matilda Smith, later married my grgrgrandfather Joseph Robb, on September 29, 1870, in Hancock County, Indiana. I would email you privately, however, I can't remember your email address. I ran across this Kemp obit, and thought I would pass it along. I hope the list administrator will let this go thru. Some of the Kemp Clan left Indiana, and went to Iowa. Here is the Obit: Thanks, Lora DEATH OF NICOLAS KEMP, OF PORT WASHINGTON -- As if the thriving little city of Port Washington had not had her share of trouble, the death of one of her most prominent citizens and business men in the person of Nicolas KEMP, is another addition of inflicting a loss to the whole community.  Mr. KEMP died of heart disease at La Mars, Iowa Wednesday night of last week. Mr. KEMP had been feeling unwell for more than three months, and recently left on a trip through the west in the hope of bettering his health.  His sudden demise is also a terrible blow to his family. He was a business associate of Wm. H. RAMSEY, and together they were principal owners of the large malting houses. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon last and was largely attended by relations and friends of the deceased from the city and abroad.  Several gentlemen came from Milwaukee and among them we noticed Messrs. Chas. von BAUMBACH, GERHARDY, Von KALTENBORN and others.  To the bereaved family we extend our most heartfelt sympathy.

I have the Early Marriage Records of Hamilton co. IN from 1833-1846, and would be happy to do a look up for any of you. Pat Hall reaghgeny@aol.com

I recently posted an offer on several lists to send a copy of a U.S. Federal census spreadsheet I developed to anyone interested. The response was overwhelming! It quickly became obvious to me that there are many people as frustrated as me over not having a good method for organizing census extraction data. I created a website to handle the demand for my spreadsheet and quickly got busy developing more spreadsheets for my fellow census researchers. I am proud to announce that I am now making available a new spreadsheet I call CENSUS TRACKER, which I created to supplement and compliment my U.S. Federal 1790-1920 spreadsheet. It allows a researcher to document up to 130 years of the most genealogically significant census data for an individual on a single worksheet! At a glance and in a very professional appearing report, you can trace the important aspects of your ancestors' lives. Your pile of census data, difficult to analyze and evaluate when buried in drawers and paper files, comes alive when logically organized! I invite you to stop by my website at http://www.censustools.com and take a look. Census Tracker and my other spreadsheets are available for immediate download!
