The paragraph should read: In 1797, the family of JACOB BARTMESS removed to Butler County, Ohio, remaining there eight years, and in the fall of 1829 came to Tippecanoe County, Indiana, and settled on section 14, Sheffield Township, where the father lived until his death, March 8, 1848. He was a prosperous agriculturist, and accumulated 370 acres of land, 100 acres being prairie land, on section 6 of the same township. His widow survived him until the year 1866. Both were worthy and consistent members of the United Brethren church. They reared a family of eight children, but four are now living--OLIVER C., the subject of this sketch; MARGARET ANN, living in Lafayette, MRS. MARIA F. HORN, of Lafayette, and JOSEPH F., presiding elder of the United Brethren church at Buchanan, Michigan. Those deceased are MRS. SARAH JANE BULL, MARY THOMPSON, ELIZA A. GREGORY and HARRIET ASHER.
