Samuel Swain. The old citizenship of Madison county had no better representative than the late Samuel Swain, who was born in Fall Creek township in the decade of the forties, and who died on the 9th of September, 1913. He had been continuously identified with this section of the county throughout practically all the years that intervened since the pioneer period. Mr. Swain was an infant when the first railroad was brought through the county and in the vicinity of his old homestead, he was a boy in his teens when the Civil war broke out, and he witnessed practically every innovation and improvement which has been the teacher in a great civilization of a nation during the last half of the nineteenth century.

Samuel Swain was born February 14, 1848. It was his distinction, such as is possessed hy comparatively few of the residents of Madison county, to have been bom in a log cabin. That log cabin was situated on the farm where he made his home at the time of his death. A log cabin at that time was not necessarily a sign of povercy nor shiftlessness, but was rather a representative habitation, consistent v/ith the period of development through which the country was then passing. As a matter of fact Samuel Swain belonged to one of the thrifty and substantial Quaker families which settled in early Fall Creek township. His parents were Woolston and Mary A. (Thomas) Swain. AVoolston Swain was a son of Samuel and I^Lirtha (Brig-gs) Swain. Both the grandparents were natives of Bucks county, Pennsylvania, and spent all their lives in that portion of the old Quaker state. Woolstou Sv\-ain came to Indiana in early manhood, and at Indianapolis met Miss Mary A. Thoraas, who had come to Madison county in 1834, belonging to one of the first, families to locate in this county. After their marriage in 1843, they located in ]\radison county, and spent all the rest of their lives in thi^s vicinity on this farm. The father was a farmer, and he cind his wife were active members of the Friends church. They were the parents of five children, named as follows: Anna M., who is unmarried; Samuel; Rebecca, who is unmarried; Joseph : and Frances L., the wife of Joseph Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio, president of Swarthmore College and president National Educational Society.

Samuel Swain was reared on the faimi where he afterward lived and attained his education in the old district schools near this farm, and also in the Spiceland Academy. During his early manhood he obtained a certificate and taught the district scliool, during the winter term, while during the sunmier he carried on his farming operations. Mr. Swain never married, and after his father's death he assumed the active management of the home farm of one hundred and twenty acres. In the profitable cultivation of this estate he proved himself to be one of the most capable agriculturists and stock raisers in the county. ]\Ir. Swain was a birthright member of the Friends church in this locality. In politics he was a Republican, though he was never interested in party affairs, and was always a supporter of good government. In his farming operations he made a specialty of raising high-class live stock. Mr. Svrain in his business and civic relations was a quiet unassuming man, who always performed his proper share of responsibilities, and never obtruded himself into the conspicuous activities of public life. His unmarried sisters always made their home with him, and together they

John "W. Lewark. Madison county's citizenship contains few members whose careers have illustrated so well the varied battle with fortune and with circumstance as that- of Mr. John W. Lewark, of Pendleton. Mr. Lewark came to Madison county a runaway boy, obtained his education between periods of hard w^ork, went from this county to the Union ranks in the great war between the states, and since returning a veteran from that conflict has been one of the honored citizens and business men of Pendleton.

John AY. Lewark was born in the city of Andereou on Ninth Street, April 20, 18-12, a son of Andrew T. an^l Margaret (]Marshall) Lewark. His father was a native of Virginia, and his mother of Ohio, and each of them when yomig came to Wabash, Indiana, where they were married. The family were residents first of Wabash and then of Anderson. The mother died when John AY. was seven years old, and he was then bound out to David Kunts of AVabash. His adopted home did not prove congenial, and was the scene of much hardship to the growing boy. He had few comforts and practically no opportunity for schooling, and was employed nearh' all his time in hard work in a brickj-ard and other occupations. When he was fourteen years of age he had reached the limit of his endurance and on Christmas day of 1S56 he ran avv'ay from the Wabash home in whicli he had spent several years. He came to Madison county in the fall of 1S57, where a half-sister lived. He remained with his half-sister for some time, and subsequently moved to Anderson whf;re he secured work in a brickyard. In 1858 he located at Pendleton, being then sixteen years of age, and did farm v/ork for some time. In 1861 he had begun work at the cai-penter's trade and was getting along very prosperously in this work until A^ugust, 1861, when the demands upon his patriotism caused him to throw down his tools and enlist for the war of preseiwation of the Union. He became a member in Company D of the Thirty-Fourth Indiana A'olunteers, and saw long and arduous service in the Army of the Alississippi and continued a soldier until November 6, 1865, when he received his discharge in Texas.

On returning to Pendleton, he took up work at the carpenter's trade, and followed this vocation energetically until February, 1872. At that date he engaged in the livery business and it is this line of enterprise with which his name has been identified at Pendleton for forty years. Mr. Lewark is one of the oldest liver^^men in Aladison county, and by straightfor'Nvard dealing and good management has made a reputation throughout his part of the county and no business man in Pendleton enjoys more esteem than this pioneer liveryman.

On May 2, 1867, he married ^Miss Emily E. Shattuck ^ho was born in Philadelphia, Pennsyl .'ania, and came to Indiana in 1SG6, being a teacher in the Pendleton schools ap to the time of her marriage. After forty years of happy married life, she passed away on Alay 3, 1907, and was the mother of six children, namely: Anna, wife of William Tague; Clara, wife of Alorris Townsand; Amy, the widow of Frank Datros; Alina, wife of Frank Homan; Edith C, who is Mrs. Alley; and Clarence L., who is a resident of North Carolina.

On Alarch 16, 1910, 'Mr. Lewark married Alary Robins of Anderson, this county. Airs. Lewark was born in Aladison county in Alareh, 1862. ^Ir. Lewark has always been a member of the Alethodist chitrch since his boyhood. He is a popular member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and IS affiliated with Madison Lodge A. F. & A M For many campaigns he was an active Republican voter, but in 1912 ioined the Progressive ranks. - j >- c

A. \V. Cook. One of the oldest and m.ost esteemed resident^ of Fall Creek township, ^Ir. Asahol TValter Cook has spent the most of a long life ot eighty years m this county, has given adon^r uericd of service as a teacher and educator, and for a number of vears was a tru^te^- of his home township first eler^ted in 1800 for flvo'years. then re-elect.-d in Ib.JO for anoti.'er four years. The opportunities for sueli service in behalf of the public come only to the man whose intea-ritv and efficiency are proved beyond all doubt to the citizenship, and the fact of public '

Mr. A. W. Cook, who is a birthright member of the Society of Friends, was bom in York county, Pennsylvania, June 17, 1833, so that he came from the center of the old Quaker colony into the Quaker settlement of eastern Indiana. His parents were George W. and Elizabeth (Walker) Cook. Both parents were natives of York county, Pennsylvania, whence they came to Indiana in 1847 and located as early settlers in Madison county, their location being at Huntsville. The father was a farmer in that vicinity and died there in 1861. His wife survived for thirty years, passing away in 1891. They were the parents of eight children, and six of the family are still living-.

Mr. A. W. Cook was reared in Pennsylvania, where he received his education in the public schools, and on October 26, 1851, was married to Hannah C. Garrettson. She was born in the same county as her husband, was reared on a farm, educated in the public schools, and after their marriage they located on a farm. 'Mv. Cook began teaching school when he was nineteen years of age, and his experiences as an educator continued for many \ears. This oecupaliou he alternated with that of farming, and it was his practice to spend the winters in teaching while he conducted the operation! of liis farm during the summer. In this way he taught thirty-two terms of school, and twenty-tT\'o of these were taught in Indiana in Madison county. For twelve terms he vras principal of the Huntsville school in Fall Creek township. Among the older educators of Madison county, probably not one is better remembered and stands in higher esteem among the great number of pupils v,-ho still survive and remember hiai than ^Ir. Cook.

In 1890 x.Ir. Cook v/as elected a trustee of Fall Creek township. After serving some five years he vacated the office, but was soon afterward recalled by the citizenship, and altogether gave nine years of service in the ofBce of trustee. He was also for six years supervisor of his township. Mr. Cook in 1890 sold his farm east of Pendleton and moved to the town of Pendleton, v»-here he has since m.ade his home. At the present time his chief occupation is in writing fire insui'ance. In politics he has been a Republican practically since the organization of that great party.

The three living children of 'Mr. Cook and vdfe are as follows : Teresa^ C, who is the wife of Joseph H. Michael; Aielissa G., wife of George Rogers; Mary E., wdfe of Charles Hedrlck. The family ar*- all members of the Friends chui'ch. Mr. Cook is affiliated with Madison Lodge No. 41 A. F. & A. ]M. and has been an active member of this fraternity for a great many years.

George M. Overman. President of the Madison County Abstract Company at Anderson, Mr. Overman has been successful in the real estate and insurance business at Anderson for more than ten years, and in the abstract company 'is at the head of one of the solid and prosperous in.stitutions of this county. He has served as president and manager since 1907. Mr. Overman has had a varied but generally successful career, has been a farmer and stock raiser in early lire, followed mercantile Hues for a number of years, and finally located permanently

George i\I. Overman was born in Henr^' county, Indiana, near ]\laple Valley, September 17, 1868. He is the youngest of the children born to Nathan and Elizabeth V. ("Wales) Overman. His father was born in Pesquotank county, North Carolina, in the vicinity of Elizabeth City, in 1830, and his wife was also a native of that state. The founder of the family in Indiana, was Grandfather Robert Overman, who in the pioneer days settled in Greenwood at ]Maple Valley in Henry county, and with the labor of his own hands hewed and built a one-room log cabin into which he moved his family. He spent many years in clearing up the faimi, and when the settlers had increased in number he laid out a town site which he named Elizabeth City in honor of the tov»-n in North Carolina where he had spent his boyhood. Robert Overman was a settler in Henrj- -county in 1832, and lived there until his death on January 27, 1875. His wife, Fanny Overman died October 8, 1865. Nathan Overman, father of George M., was reared and educated in Henry county and was a substantial farmer during his career. He moved to Shirley, Henry county, and afterwards went to California. His death occurred April 10, 1911. in his eighty-second year, while his wile passe<l away, November 7. 1907.

Educated in tlfe country schools of Indiana, until he was fourteen years of age, George M. Overman completed his education in the high schools of Knightstown and Central Normal College at Danville, Ind. When he left school he returned to the homestead farm where he had received a thorough training in industry and thrifty habits during his vacation periods, and was engaged in general farming and stock raising for nearly two years. He nest became a commercial salesman, selling pianos and traveling all over the states of Indiana and Kentucky. During 1891-95, associated with J. Isl. Fisher, under the narae of Overman & Fisher he was in a music store for twelve months. After that he represented the firm of W. W. Kimball & Company of Chicago in selling pianos and organs in dirferent territories of Indiana, t;.nd in March, 1899, was transferred to tiie Kentucky territory, where he continued the sale of musical instruments with Montinegro & Rheini, of Louisville, Kentucky-. Resigning this position he came to Anderson, and in August, 1901, entered a partnership with his brother, R. E. Overman, under the firm name of Overman Brothers, Real Estate & Insurance. Some time later he bought his brother's interest, and has since amplified the business to include life insurance and the handling of general real estate and farm laods. He is regarded as one of the best imformed and most reliable real estate men in this section of Indiana, and in consequence enjoys a large and prosperous business.

In August, 1900, iMr. Overman was married to Miss Adda L. Newby of Knightstown, Indiana, a daughter of Jabes and Sarah J. (Stites) Newby. There have been four children born to their uniozi, namely: Donald N., Sarah E., ^Margaret F., and Harold B. IMr. Overman has been honored with the of6ce of clerk of the Modern Woodmen, Camp 3690, of Anderson, and "is one of the \ery popular men of his home locality. His residence is at 706 East Ljmu Street.

Hon". WiLiJA:\r: A. Kittinger. A former state senator from Madison county, ex-prosecuting attorney of ]\Iadison and Hamilton counties, and for many years closely connected with the political and public affairs of the county, Mr. Kittinger has been both a prominent and useful citizen of Anderson for more than four decades, and throughout that time has practiced his profession of the law. As a criminal lawyer Mr. Kittinger is probably unsurpassed in this section of Indiana, and is a man of the highest standing in his profession and as a citizen.

Mr. Kittinger was not bom to fortune, and probably few successful men in Madison county today have overcome during their youth more obstacles than ]Mr. Kittinger. He was born in AYayne county, near Richmond, Indiana, October 17, 1849. His father, John Smith, was a native of Germany, a shoe maker by trade and after coming to America settled at Richmond, Indiana. There he married ^liss Delilah Turk, who was born in Virginia, where her father died, and was brought by her mother to AYa^oie county, Indiana, where she grew to womanhood. She died in 1850, when her son WiUiam was about one year old, and the father John Smith then returned to Germany, in order to secure his interests in an estate, but was never heard of again, after leaving Indiana. He left behind two children, the oldest of whom, Thomas, died at the age of three years. AYilliam A., an orphan baby, was taken into the home of AYilliam L. Kittinger, and in this way he adopted the name by which he is now knovrn and honored. IMr. Kittinger in 1335 moved to Henry county, Indiana, and was engaged as a saw mill operator and farmer near Middletown. In that vicinity. W^illiam A. grew up and as an orphan boy without influential relatives or friends had only limited advantages and nearly all his time was taken for the work about the home and farm, so that his schooling was very meagre. ludustr}-, ambition and perseverance have always been qualities of his character, and it is owing- to these faculties that he won a successful position in life against many and heavy odds. He finally gained a sufficient education to enable him to teach school, and v/hen eighteen years old taught in Union township of Madison county, and was afterwards similarly employed in Lafayette township. The sranmer seasons were spent in farm work and in reading law, and while a very young man he also became interested in the ministry- and v/as licensed to preach in the Christian church. His first license was obtained in Darke county, Ohio, and his second at Richmond, Indiana, and for two summers he supplied vacant pulpits in different sections of the state. Finally Mr. Kittinger took up the study of law in the office of Judge E. B. Goodykoontz at Anderson. On August 2, 1872, he was admitted to practice, and at once moved to Missouri, and opened an office at Bolivar in Polk coanty. He had just begun to get acquainted and earn his first fees in Polk county when a telegram announced the failure of the banl: at i\jiderson in which his money was deposited, and he at once returned to the city, in order to look after his hard earned savings. On his retum he took up the practice of law, and in that way has been engaged in his profession in this city for forty years.

Many important public services have interrupted the career of Mr. Kittinger in his regular profession. He was elected in October, 1880, prosecuting attorney for the twenty-fo^orth judicial circuit includiiig Hamilton and Madison counties. He was reelected to the position in 1882, and gave a very satisfactory account of his administration during four years. After leaving the office he forraed a partnership with Judge R. Lake, which lasted six months. He then fitted up an office of his o^vn on the southside of the public square, but the building in which he was located was burned to the gi'ound in less than a month after he had occupied the office and he suffered a heavy loss for him at that stage of li^s career. February 1, 18S6, he became a partner of L 31 Sch vinn and the firm of Kittmger & Schwinn became recognized as one of the strongest aggregations of legal talent in this section of the statp Ihrough all these years his reputation was growing as a criminal lawyer' and at the present time there is no abler practitioner in this special department in central Indiana than William A. Kittinger

Mr Kittmger was m politics a Democrat until 1878, and from that time forward allied himself with the Republicans. In ISSS-V he served as secretary of the Republican county Central Committee and h regarded as one of the strongest and most influential workers for his party m .ladison county In 1888 he was nominated on the Republican ticket representative to the legislature and led his party ticket by abou^ one hundred and twenty-five ballots, though he was unable to ovei^ome the Democratic majority m the county. In 1900 he was elected to the state senate from Madison county and in 1904 he was renominated for this office, and thus served for eight years his term as state senator ending January, 1908. In 1908 Mr. Kiltir.ger was nominated ^ elctd state seiiator on the senatorial district; ^nd as a legislator has an Wllent record.

George Grant Manintng. In the death of George Grant Mannimr which occurred at his home in the city of Anderson, Auaust 3. 190s' there came to a close in its sixty-sixth year a life whici^ con+a'ined a great aggregate of usefulness, of kindly relationship with family an-^' community, and one that was successful from the usual mai^^Tial estimate. Mr. Manning gave many years of his life to educational vcork] and came to Anderson m 1895 as oo^^ of the proprietors of the Crvstni Ice Company, with which his name conti;iued to be identified until b^s death.

George Grant Manning was born in Shelbv couutv, New York December 23, 1342. He was the fourth soii in a family of seven children' whose parents were TVllIiam and Eli.yabeth Manning. His boyhood was spent on a farm, and he pursued the usual routine of farmer boys of half a century ago, attending the district school during the winter season, arid working at home the other months of the year, and also doin^^ much both morning and night in the way of chores and other assistance to the nome. At the age of seventeen he entered Medina Academy. The follcvv^ing year m ISGO, he accompanied his parents on their removal to DeKalo countv-, Iliinoi.-^. and continued his education bv attendance in the schools at Sycamore for one terra, and was engnged to teach his first term iu 1861. In 1862 he moved to Lyndon, in "Whiteside county, where he was elected principal of the village schools at the age of twenty years. In 1866 Mr. Manning advanced his educational equipment by attendance at the Illinois State Normal School in Bloomington, from which institution he was graduated in 1869. He taught for some time in Fulton and in Jacksonville, Illinois.

In 1871 Mr. ^Manning married \Miss Lucia Kingsley, who was a graduate of the Illinois State Normal School, and previous to her marriage had been a teacher in the model department of the State Normal Schools. After her marriage they moved to Peru, Indiana, Mr. Manning having been chosen superintendent of the city schools. For twentyone years he had charge of the city schools of Peru, and his work as an educator and organizer was of the equality which lasts both in the minds and characters of the many generations of children who attended during that time, and also left a permanent impress on the school organization of that city. On leaving the work of education at Peru, Mr. ]Manning moved to Anderson, where he became president and manager of the Crystal Ice Company. In 1903 he erected the ^Manning Block on Meridian Struct. He was also one of the stockholders i)i the Union building, and in the course of a lifetime of effort accumulated a good estate for the benefit of his family. Mr. Manning served as one of the trustees of the First Baptist church in Anderson. He was always much interested in the welfare of his home city, and whenever possible generously supported the movement for the community good. His genial, friendly disposition, brought him many friends wherever he lived, bat though he was fond of social life, he found his greatest pleasure in his home.

Mr. Manning is sur\'ived by Mrs. Manning and their fonr children, namely: Miss Lueia May 2\Ianning; Mrs. Grace E. ^I. Downing; Mi*s. Edith ]\I. Stein, and George K. Manning. There arc also five grandchildren to be mentioned in the family record, their names being George Elliott Downing, ]\[ary Elizabeth Dow'iing, Lucia Grace Downing, Margaret ]\Iannincr Stein and Geors'c King ^Manning.

John B. Pritchard. The present superintendent of police at Ander- L has recently completed a record of twenty years with the police force, ~ which he began as a patrolman, and by efficiency and faithful service has been promoted and under several different city administrations has held his present place. He belongs to one of the old fam.ilies of ^ladisan county, the Pritchards having been identified with this county for upwards of seventy years.

John B. Pritchard was born in Madison, Kansas, December 17, 1863, a son of Nelson T. and Magdalene (Nelson) Pritchard. His father belonged to an old North Carolina family, in which state he was born. In 1846 the family came to I^Iadison eourity, Indiana, and were among the early fanners of this section. The father took up farming and vras engaged in agriculture and stock raising for many years. He afterv.-ards moved out to Kansas where he remained a few years, and finally located permanently in Madison county, Indiana, where he still resides.

John B. Pritchard was reared in his home county, and as a boy had the advantages of the district schools. VVbiile he was in Kansas he attended a select school. In 1888 at the age of twent;/-five he returned to Anderson, and after following different occupations became connected with the police force in 1893. He was afterwards promoted to captain, and from captain was finally made superintendent of the city police. His service has been unusually satisfactory, and the best evidence of this is the fact that he has served under both Democratic and Republican administrations, and has maintained the force at a high state of discipline, and has always cooperated with the agencies of lavr and order, so that Anderson is regarded as one of the best policed cities in the state.

Mr. Pritchard married oMiss Armintha Smith, of Kansas, daughter of William Smith, a prominent citizen of that state. Their union has been blessed by the birth of five children, namely: Hilton M., Essie May, Gladys, John N., and George W. Essie May is the wife of A. Clemmons of Anderson. Mr. Pritchard is affiliated with the Knights of Pythias, and the Loyal Order of ^loose. His home in Anderson is at 1214 West Fifth Street. By his long residence in ^Madison county, and his position on the police force he has secured an extensive acquaintance not only in this county but in many of the adjoining counties of the state.

David Eshelman. The business of contractor and builder has been the vocation of Mr. Eshelman, since his early manhood. Th« degree of accomplishment in such a career is open to inspection, for there are hundreds of homes, business v.nd public structures through this section of Indiana that are the practical testimony of his skill and ability.

Representing one of the pioneer families of ]\Iadi5Gn county and one of the leading men in his line of business, Mr. Esiielman M'as born in Madison county, on a farm four miles north of the city of Anderson in Lafayette township on January' 16, 1850. His father was John Eshelman, a native of Pennsylvania, where he spent his youth and .".ciiuired a common school education. He married ilrs. Nancy (Mustard) Elliott, an aunt of Daniel Mustard, so v/ell knov/n at Anderson. Grandfather George jfustard was a pioneer settler of Madison county, and th,. maiden name of his v/ife was Miss Delay. After his marriage, John "Eshelman, the father, settled on a farm in Lafayette township, and conducted a farm of three hundred acres, a place which he did much to develop from its original wild state. He contiiuied to live on the farm until his dea.th in 1870. His wife, who survived him. died in 1392.

David Eshelman was reared on the farm just described, and during the winter tenns for a number of years attended the district school in the neighborliood. When h-e was seventeen years old he was qualified and obtained a certificate to teach, and spent about three years in that vocation in the country districts. Abandoning the profession of teacher, he took up the trade of carpenter, and in a few years became identified with building and contracting.

In 1875, Mr. Eshelman married Miss Charity Scott. The two sons born to their mariiage are Ross W., a carpenter and contractor, and Albert A., who is at home ^vith his father. After the marriage, David Eshelman located on a farm for sortie time, and later moved into Anderson. Since establishing himself in business in the county seat, he has erected a large number of the better residences in the city, many store buildings, and had a contract for much of the work on the Union Building, the six-story structure which is one of the best oface buildings in this section of the state. On the basis cf hig performance, the name of David Eshelman stands for quality and efficiency. He does much work in the eountiy districts in iMadison county, and in neighboring towns.

He is noted for his honorable and thorough work, and is himself a skilled workman, a fact which has stood him to good advantage in his business.

Chester F. Scott. The firm of Scott & Mead, plumbers and dealers in heating and plumbing supplies, is one of the well known business concerns of Anderson, established here in recent years, with Chester F. Scott as junior member of the firm. Mr. Scott was bom in Windfall, Tipton county, Indiana, on January 25, 18S3, and is the son of Dr. TV. F. and Ada V. (Conkling) Scott. The father is a "West Virginian by birth and there he spent his early days, coming to Indiana while yet in his young manhood. He is still living, and is in his sixty-first year, making his liome at Lin wood, Indiana, where he is actively eogaged in the practice of medicine, and in the enjoyment of a widespread clientele.

Chester F. Scott is the only son of his parents. He was educated in the township schools of the community where he was bom and reared, and he finislied his public school training in the Anderson high school, where he continued for three years. Upon lea\ang school he entered the Voorhees CommerciaJ College in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he secured an excellent business training, that has stood him in excellent stead since he came to be a business man on his own responsibility. During his school years, Mv. Scott had at intervals applied himself to the plumbing trade as a helper, and it Avas in odd hours of practice thus gained that he came to cjualif}- as a in'actieal plumber. When he bad completed his college course, he cast about for a suitable opening for a vv'ell trained young business man, and the result of his investigation was that he associated himself in a business partnership with G. C. I\Iead, under the firm name of the Scott & Mead. The new firm met with a pleasing success from its inception, and they are known today as two of the most successful and enterprising young men in the city. They are qualified to do all kinds of plumbing, both in the city and oountrv' finding an ample field for their activities, and they carry a full line of plumbmg supplies such as might be found in any well conducted establi-jliment of its kind, and both members of the firm being practical and successful plumbers, they are able to carry on the entire work of the establishment v/ith but little outside help. The splendid business training that Mr. Scott received in Indianapolis has been of inestimable value to him in this venture, and tbeir afiairs are conducted on a strictly business basis, prominence and success coming to them in generous measure.

Mr. Scott was married on May 22_. 1911, to Miss Vera Esther Finfrock, of Covington, Ohio, a daughter of Frank P. and Emma (Phipps) Finfrock. One son, Benjamin Ferris, has been born to them.

Edward C. Handy, As treasurer aud general manager of the Indiana Ice & Dairy Company at Anderson, ISlr. Handy has the practical control of one of this city's most servicable industries. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that milk and cream together furnish fifteen percent of the total food of the average American family, and with this fact before us it is possible to estimate the importance of the milk business in every coninuinity. The Indiana lee and Dairy Company, with which Mr. Handy has been connected as manager for the past fifteen years, manufactures and bottles pasteurized milk and cream, and at the same tim.e manufactures butter. The company has built up a very large local business and from a small beginning has been obliged to. enlarge the capacity of the plant from time to time in order to handle the largely increased trade. The milk is gathered in from the dairy farmers of the surrounding country, and througli the medium of this model plant is distributed to a large patronage in the city. The capacity for butter-maldng is five ton per day, and the plant has a capacity of bottling milk at fifteen hundred gallons per day. The plant is a brick building, and is equipped with the latest and most improved machinery, and the entire service is conducted on the must approved sanitary principles. The Indiana Ice & Dairy Company was incorporated in 1907, and -the chief officers at the present time are: Otis P. Crim, president; "William C. Collier, vice-president and secretary; and Edward C. Handy, treasurer and general manager.

Edward C. Handy was bom in Hancock county. Indiana, July T, 1865, and has had a varied career since he began liEe on his own account. His parents v/ere Minos F. and Elizabeth (Chandler) Handy. His father was born in Indiana in 1837, v/as a farmer for a number of years, and was for a long time court bailifi: of Hancock county. In polities he was a staunch Democrat. The grandfather on the father's side was William Handy, who was born in Virginia and became one of the pioneer settlers in Hancock county, Indiana. The maiden name of his wife was Smith Eldrige, who vras also born in Virginia.

Mr. Handy, one of nine children, five of whom are still living, attended school in a schuoi house of Hancock county vv'hich was known far and v/ide as the old Handy school housi?, and was a landmark in that section of the country. He attended school during the ^-inters and assisted his father on the fairn during the summers. After leaving the farm he went to Tipton, Indiana, where he became clerk in a general store that being the beginning of his general business experience. He subsequently lived v/ith his Uncle John Handy until his seventeenth year. Three years after ihat he was clerk in a general store at IMorristown in Shelby county, and at the expiration of that time entered a drug store and thus equipped himself for another line of enterprise.

Mr. Handy has been identified with his present line of industry for more than thirty years. In 1891 he becarae connected with a creamery at Morristown, Indiana, and while there laid a solid foundation of experience in that business. Then in 1897 he came to Anderson to take charge of the Indiana Ice & Dairy Company, and his management has been largely responsible for the success and large growth of this business.

Frank D. Pence. As the owner of a large and well equipped livery and sales stable in the city of Anderson, Mr. Pence has gained marked success and is known as one of the aggressive, enterprising and substantial business men of Madison county. In addition to a general livery business of important order he has built up a profitable enterprise in the buying and selling of horses, and he is recognized as an authoritative judge of equine values. He has a wide circle of friends in Madison county and further interest attaches to the record of his achievement by reason of the fact that he is a native son of this county and a member of one of its old and honored families.

Mr, Pence was born on the homestead farm of his father, in Richmond towTiship, Madison county, Indiana, and the date of his nativity was April 19, 1865. He is a son of John J. and Rhoda (Coburn) Pence, the former of whom continued to reside on his farm until his death, in 1908, at a venerable age, his devoted wife having passed to the life eternal in 1893 and having been a daughter of John Coburn, another sterling pioneer of Indiana and for many years a well known citizen of Kichland to^\'nship, Madison county. John J. Pence was born near Connersville, "Wayne county, Indiana, and virtually his entire active career was one of close and efrective identification with the great basic industry of agriculture. He was numbered among the early settlers of jNIadison county and rvas long known as one of the representative farmers and stock-growers of Richland to^\Tiship, where he was the owner of an excellent farm of one hundred and twenty-eight acres, upon which he made the best of improvements, including the erection of substantial buildings. He died in Union township. He was a soldier during the Civil war and a Democrat in politics. He was a man of inflexible integi-ity and well fortified views, was liberal and loyal as a citizen and commanded the high regard of all who knew him. His father, Adam Pence, was one of the very early settlers of Madison couaiy and did well his part in the development and upbuilding of this section of the state, the while he was known and honored for his sterling qualities.

Frank D. Pence has never had cause to regret the discipline which he received in the formative period of his life, and in connection with the work of the home fann he learned valuable lessons of responsibility and practical industry. He made good use of the advantages afforded in the district schools and continued to be associated with his father in the work and management of the home farm until he had attained to his legal majority. At the age of twenty-five years he took unto himself a wife, who has proved a devoted companion and helpmeet, and shortly ^ter this important event in his career he rented the old Pence homestead, upon which he instituted independent operations as an agriculturist and stockgrower. He applied himself with characteristic energy and ambition and thus his success v.-as of substantial order. After the passage of a few years he purchased a farm of one hundred and tv/elve acres, in Union township, and in addition to continuing his successful operations as an agriculturist he began to purchase horses, which he brought into good condition and placed upon the market. His operations in this branch of his enterprise expanded in scope and impoiiance and at various times he was the owner of exceptionally valuable horses, several of which he sold at an approximate sum of five h^indred dollars each. He is still the owner of his farm, upon which he has made such improvements as to mark the place as one of the model farms of the county, and he gives to the place a general supervision and he is also tho owner of a considerable amount of real estate in the city of Anderson.

Mr, Pence continued to reside on his farm until 1899, when he removed to Anderson, w^here he engaged in the livery business and also continued the buying and selling of horses, in both of which lines of enterprise he is now one of the leading representatives in iladison county. In 1906 Mr. Pence purchased the Oliver Osburn livery and sales stables, which constitute one of the landmarks of Anderson, and here he has since continued his successful business operations. His Btables are well supplied with excellent horses and vehicles and he gives careful attention to maintaining of the livery department of his business at a high standard, with the result that the same received a large and appreciative patronage. His operations as a dealer in horses are based on a technical knowledge gained through wide experience and he controls a most prosperous business in this line.

Though liberal and public-spirited in his civic attitude, Mr. Pence has had no desire for the honors and emoluments of political office. He accords a staunch allegiance to the Democratic party and in a fraternal way he is idejitified with the local organi7ations of the Loyal Order of Moose and the Improved Order of Red Men.

In the year 1892 ]\Ir. Pence was united in marriage to jliss Susan Brcneuburgh, of Chesterfield, this county, and they became the parents of three children, Leslie and Hcizel M., both of wl)om are deceased; and Harold L., who remains at the parental home, the same being an atiractive residence at 802 Park avenue.

- C. K. McCuLLOUGiT. Until his death on October 31, 1909, Carroll K. McCullough was one of the foremost leaders in the business activities of Anderson and county. He was known as a banker in the local insurance field, as a legislator, and in many ways was ideritified with the public life of his county and state. The ^[cCuiloughs have for sixty years been prominenr, in the history of Madison comity, and members of three generations have given their enterprise and character to the fram.ing and development of the varied life and interests of this loealit}.'.

The late C. K. McCullough was born in "Madison county, September 4, 1855. The old McCullough homestead farm v,-as located near the city of Anderson, and the late Ivlr. ^McCullough retained its ow^ncrship until his death. He whs a son of Neei C. and ]\iaria (Edgerle) McCullough. His grandfather w^as one of five brothers who cauie from Scotland and located at Osford in Butler county, Ohio.

Neel C. McCullough, who during his day and generation took a prominent part in commercial affairs in ^tadison county, was born in Butler county, Ohio, December 25, 1S20, was educnted in the Miami University and was a classmate of the former president. Benjamin Harrison. At Oxford he learned the drug trade, and in 1852, having located at Muncie, Indiana, he established a hardv/are store there. Two years later, in 1854, he moved to Madison county and located on a small farm two miles southwest of A.nderson. He proved an enterprising and successful farmer, and eventually became the owner of eight hundred acres of improved land.

Bank, the first financial institution in the history of Anderson. In that enterprise he was associated ^vith Byron K. Elliott, who afterwards became chief justice of the Supreme Court of Indiana. When the National Bank Act became a law in 1863, Mr. ]McCullough and ]Mr. J. G. Stilwell organiz:ed the Citizens Bank into the First National . Bank of Anderson, with Mr. ^MeCullough as cashier. But he afterward withdrew from the institution and for several years was actively engaged in the grocery and hardware business.

The First National Bank having in the meantime failed, Neel C, McCullough, in 1871, organized the Citizens Bank, which he managed alone until 1873. His son, the late Carroll Kay, then became interested in the bank, and the tirm was thereafter known as N. C. McCullough & Company. In 1897 "W-. T. Durbin, of Indianapolis, and later governor of Indiana, was admitted to the firm and the capital was increased to fifty thousand dollars. In 1881 Mr. D. F. Mustard took the interest of C. K. ]\IcCullough, and the latter then retired, but four years later bought ]^[r. ^Mustard's interest. In 1887 the Citizens and the iMadison Banks were consolidated under the name of N. C. McCullough & Company, with N. C. ]McCullough as general manager. While a banker the latter also inanagecl his large farming and other interests. In 1868 he platted N. C. ilcCuUough's first addition to Anderson, a tract of land now comprising that portion of the northwestern Cfuarter of the city. In 1875 he bouglit the Artificial Gas Plant, operating it until 18S7, when natural gas v/as discovered. He was an active Eepublicau until the nomination of Horace Greeley by the Democrats in 1872, and then became a Democrat and was active in the cause of the latter party as he had been in behalf of the Republicans.

The wife of Neel C. ]McCullcugh v/as born m Sehnectady, New York, and was a daughter of George W. Edgerlee, who went f roux New Hampshire to New York arid later to MontgO]uer>' county, Ohio. The daughter was reared in Ohio, and was educated at Ox.ford Female College, being a schoolmate of Carrie Scott, who afterward married Benjamin Harrison, president of the United States, ^.frs. Neel C. ^IcCullough is a leading member of the Methodist churcli in Anderson.. She resides in the old homestead in that city, and became the mother of five children, three of whom grew to adult years. The daughter Bertha M. became the wife of Hon. W. T. Durbin, a former governor of Indiana ; Carroll K. was the next younger; and ^faud married Dr. C. N. Branch.

The late C. K. McCullough was reared in Anderson and began, his education in the local schools. While attending Asbury (now DePauw) University at Greericastle occurred the failure of the First National Bank of Anderson and then the reorganization by his father of the Citizens Bank, and at this juncture in the com.rnunity and family's financial affairs his father gave Carroll the choice either to continue school or to go in business with the newly organized Citizens Bank. He chose the latttr course, and at fj\e age of eighteen years became identified with bankiiig, and continued with the Citizens Bank until 1881. In that year he assum.ed the management of the Artificial Gas Plant, and thus continued until the plant was abandoned in 1887.

In the great era of local bu.-iness improvement which set in with the discovery of natural gas in 1887, the late Mr. McCullough became one of the most energetic factors, and not only developed a large business of his own, but lent his efforts liberally and freely to the general welfare of the communitv. At the outset of Anderson's prosperity following gie natural gas discovery :\Ir. McCuIlough laid out iiinetv-one lots in Fark Place and twenty-seven lots in what was known as the'second addi- , tion, and m order to stimulate purchase he built fourteen houses aU of which were quickly sold, as well as the majority of the lots In 1890 m connection with ^Y. T. Durbin and other members of the familv :\r,-' McCulloug-h built what has long been known as the post-office "b'lo^k' with a frontage of seventy-two feet on Ninth street, a three-storv building, one of the largest and most conspicuous structures" in the business history of this time. He also o^\Tied a large farm on Pendleton Pike southwest of Anderson, and he was one of the leading men in the organization of the Anderson Driving Park Association, the association ha°vin£^ eighty-four acres of level gi-ound and a fine one-mile track He was also the owner of Riverside Park, a beautiful plat of ground between Anderson and the White river.

Mr. McCuIlough continued activel'y identified with the Citizens BaTik of Anderson until the organization of the Liberal Life lusurauce Company m 1900, and thereafter was nominally in the -bank in the capacity of manager. He was secretary and manager of the newlv organized Liberal Life Insurance Company, and was one of the eleven oiidual directors, of whom nine survived in 1909. the time of the death of Mr McCuIlough. The other associates in the insurance company at W beginning were: The late ^lajor J. H. Terhune, R. P. Grimes, Thomas J. Nichol, Daniel Goehler, James Wellington, Geo^^gp Shrecve S L Van Patten and Robert Schenck. After the death of .Mayor Terhune in March of 1909 Senator ]\IcCullough became president and manager of the company, and this addition to his many other interests and duties was largely responsible for his quickly failing health, endino- iu his death. °
