Surnames: Sowers, Franks, Redd Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gh.2ADI/5506 Message Board Post: George Sowers, prominent citizen and retired farmer, is a native of Fayette County, Penn., and the eldest of nine children born to Jacob and Elizabeth Sowers. The father was a native Pennsylvania also, where in 1810 he married Elizabeth Franks. In 1817, he emigrated to Wayne County, Ohio, and settled near the town of Wooster, where he entered a tract of government land and made a home. He was a pioneer in the true sense of the term, and met with many thrilling experiences during his early years in the backwoods. George Sowers was six years old when he parents moved to Ohio, in which state he passed the years of his youth and early manhood. Being the eldest of the family, he was obliged to forego the privileges of an education in order to contribute his share toward making a home, and supporting the family. At the age of eighteen he went back to his native State and bound himself for two years, to learn the wagon maker’s trade, receiving at the end of that time! , $10.99 worth of tools and $120.00 in cash, his father furnishing him with clothing in the meantime. After acquiring proficiency in his trade, he returned to Ohio, and worked for some time as a journeyman, but subsequently opened a shop on his father’s farm, which he operated with good success for several years. He followed wagon making for a period of several years, and at the end of that time, 1836, came to Huntington County, Ind., and entered a tract of 240 acres of land in Rock Creek Township. The following year he worked at his trade, in Logansport, in which city, on the 20th day of July, 1837, he married Miss Martha, daughter of Joseph and Mary Redd, of Pennsylvania. Soon after his marriage, Mr. Sowers went back to Ohio, where he remained until the fall of 1840, at which time he returned to Indiana, and settled in Rock Creek Township, where he has since resided. He took an active part in the development of the country, and like many others, bore his full! share of the privations, hardships and hard work of pioneer life. In all these years he has been known as a very careful and industrious citizen, an honorable neighbor, and a man against whose good name, no breath of suspicion has ever been uttered. He had charge of his farm until a few years ago, when he retired from active life and is now enjoying a quiet and content, that rest which he has so well and so nobly earned. On the 30th of December, 1883, his faithful companion in all his years of toil, the sharer of his joys and sorrows, yielded to the last summons – dying at the age of sixty-seven years. She was, with her husband, an earnest worker in the Baptist Church, and bore him five children, two sons and three daughters, viz: Artlissa J., Arnetta, Mary A. (deceased), Joseph R., and Meredith (deceased), who was a gallant soldier in the late war. History of Huntington County, Indiana (Brant & Fuller: Chicago) 1887.

Surnames: Mahoney, Vance, Miller, McClanahan Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gh.2ADI/5505 Message Board Post: Thomas Mahoney—Conspicuous among the successful and self-made men of Huntington, is the gentleman whose biographical sketch is herewith presented. Thomas Mahoney, eldest son of James and Mary (Vance) Mahoney, is a native of Washington County, Tenn., and dates his birth from the 29th day of August, 1821. His parents were natives of Virginia, but in an early day emigrated to Tennessee, and from that State in 1831, to Rush County, Ind. Subsequently, about 1841 or 1842, they moved to Huntington County, and settled in Wayne Township, where their deaths occurred a number of years later. Thomas Mahoney removed with his parents to Rush County, Ind., and until the age of nineteen remained on the farm, attending such schools as the county afforded in the meantime. Having early manifested decided tastes for mechanical pursuits, he finally abandoned the farm and was apprenticed to learn the cabinet maker’s trade at New Salem, Ind., his employer being William Miller! , of that place. After becoming proficient in his trade, Mr. Mahoney opened a shop in the town of New Salem, an undertaking which proved anything but a fortunate venture. His earnings did not equal his necessary expenses, in consequence of which he soon became financially embarrassed. His creditors finally levied upon his property, excepting only a few household articles, even the tools upon which he depended for his support were under the ban of the law, and although it was his privilege to exempt from execution property to the amount of $125, he positively refused to do so, believing it would be acting in bad faith toward his creditors. His refusal to avail himself of legal means of escape at once established his reputation as an honest and conscientious man, and inspired his creditors with a new confidence. By preserving labor he finally succeeded in overcoming his difficulties, and discharging all his obligations. On the 20th of October in 1842, was solemnized his! marriage with Miss Mary J. McClanahan, who was born in Kentucky, July 10, 1821. In 1843, Mr. Mahoney came to Huntington County and settled at the Town of Mt. Edna, where for a number of years he carried on the cabinet maker’s trade. He struggled hard against the many difficulties which beset his way, and by diligent application and rigid economy, accumulated in time a comfortable competence. In 1855, he disposed of his property in Mt. Edna, and purchased forty acres of land a short distance from the village, upon which he still resides. By subsequent purchases he enlarged the boundaries of his home until he is now the owner of 145 acres of valuable land in Lancaster Township, and thirteen acres in the vicinity of Mt. Edna, upon which is situated his large three-story frame flouring-mill, and the steam saw mill operated at this time by his sons. Mr. Mahoney purchased his milling interests recently, and in addition to farming is now largely engaged in the lumber business. For many years Mr. Mahoney has been actively identified wit! h the cause of religion and temperance. He united with the Methodist Church when but sixteen years of age, and one year later signed the Washingtonian temperance pledge. He is one who has always been honored and respected by his neighbors, and has done much developing the resources of the country. Starting in life with no capital, but a determination to succeed, he has steadily won his way to prosperity; but this point has been obtained by the most unremitting toil and good management, and is by no means the result of favorable circumstances. His marriage has been blessed with nine children, whose names are as follows: Mary A., born December 4, 1843, died May 23, 1878; Almira S., born March 1,1846; died May 10, 1865; Martha J., born October, 1848, died January 12, 1849; Orange L. born February 7, 1850; Thomas E., born November 9, 1853; George A., born May 10, 1855; Anna J., born January 5, 1859, died November 12, 1874; William M., born August 31, 1860; Elmer I. Born Ju! ly 5, 1864. History of Huntington County, Indiana (Brant & Fuller: Chicago) 1887. Biographical Sketches of Lancaster Township, pages 720 and 721.

David Felabom early emigrated to Ohio, and died in that State late in the forties, at the age of sixty-five years. After his death his wife returned to Pennsylvania, where her death occurred several years later. They were the parents of sixteen children, only six of whom, four brothers and two sisters, grew to man and womanhood. Gasper Felabom was raised to habits of industry, his father being a poor man, in consequence of which he was early in life obliged to rely in a great measure upon his own resources. He attended school but a few months, and when only ten years of age was hired to a farmer for two years, his compensation being $1.50 per month. He remained with his employer seven years, a part of the time receiving $10 per month, and ! in August, 1840, emigrated to Wayne County, Ohio, where he began to learn the miller’s trade. He abandoned this in a short time, again engaged as a farm laborer, and subsequently rented land, until 1856, when he moved to his present farm in Rock Creek Township, having purchased eighty acres the year previous. Upon this land he at once went to work, and although possessing but limited means, succeeded within a few years in making a very comfortable home. He has always been a hard worker, and is, in every respect a self-made and thoroughly upright man. He cast his first vote for James K. Polk, and has been an earnest supporter of the Democratic party every since. On the 22d of August, 1848, was solemnized his marriage with Miss Sarah J. Bonewitz, daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Franks) Bonewitz, of Pennsylvania. Mr. and Mrs. Felabom have had ten children, seven of whom are now living, viz.: Joseph B., James M., Mary J., Adda A., Samuel W., Perry O., and Belle I.!
