SAMUEL WARNER. It is to be noted that among the prosperous agriculturists of Wells County, there are many whose names are associated with prominent financial interests. These connections are desirable and tend to lend stability to the banking institutions, particularly in a fertile agricultural country, where the bank's representative forms a connecting link between the institution and the farmers, who form the greater number of depositors. One of these farmer-bankers is Samuel Warner, who in addition to being the owner of a handsome property, is vice president and a director of the Bank of Petroleum.
Mr. Warner, was born on a farm in Nottingham Township, Wells County, Indiana, February 28, 1852, and is a son of Jacob and Sarah (Gehrett) Warner. His parents, natives of Pickaway County, Ohio, grew up, were educated, and married in that community, and there they resided for several years. The father, however, was desirous of seeking another location where his prospects for success would be brighter, and accordingly made several trips on foot to Wells County, Indiana, looking over the territory. Finally he decided upon a farm in Nottingham Township, and here he brought his wife, they making their way through the woods and bringing their small household effects. Through industry, energy and perseverance they succeeded in making a home and cultivating a property and here rounded out their long and honorable lives in the pursuits of farming. They were faithful members of the German Baptist Church and held a place in the esteem and confidence of their fellow-townspeople, Mr. War!
ner serving for some years as supervisor and trustee of his township. Of their children, the following survive: George L., ex-county commissioner of Wells County; Jonathan, a resident of Arizona; Samuel, of this notice; Jacob, whose home is in Chicago; Henry, a resident of Nottingham Township; Eva, the wife of George King, of Petroleum, Indiana, and Andrew, who makes his home in Florida.
Samuel Warner was educated in the district schools of Nottingham Township, and, reared to the vocation of farming, has never followed any other line of work. Through good management, attention to business and plenty of energetic work, he has succeeded in the accumulation of a good property and the development of a valuable and productive farm and is today justly accounted one of the substantial men of his locality and one whose success has been gained only through the utilization of natural abilities and legitimate means. At the organization of the Bank of Petroleum, he became a director in that institution, and today also holds the position of vice president, in which capacity he has had a share in promoting its welfare and directing it to success. Politically, he is a democrat. He has been somewhat prominent in civic affairs, and for six years was a member of the Wells County Council.
Mr. Warner was married in December, 1876, to Miss Louisa Keller, who was born in Ohio and there reared and educated. When a young woman she was brought by her parents to Nottingham Township, where she met and married Mr. Warner. They are the parents of the following children: Doctor Elmer, a graduate of the State Normal School, taught school for several years and then took up the study of medicine, receiving his degree in 1917; Miss Nettie, who is single and makes her home with her parents; Albert, who is married and a worker in the oil fields of Oklahoma; Henry A., at home with his father; and Stella, the wife of E. L. Bond, of Hamilton, Illinois.

ELI FRENCH. There are not many families entitled to honorable mention in this history because of earlier settlement in Wells County than the French family, for its founder came in 1835 and it has increased and prospered here ever since. The present head of the family still living on the old homestead, is Eli French, one of Nottingham Townshjp's most highly respected citizens. He was born in his parents' cabin, on the banks of Six Mile Creek, in Harrison Township, February 12, 1854, and is a son of John G. and Lydia (Wiest) French.
John G. French was born in Dearborn County, Indiana, November 27, 1824, and was a son of Joseph and Eliza (Beach) French. They were natives of Massachusetts who came to Wells County, Indiana, in 1835, when John G. was eleven years old. Here he grew to manhood and his first marriage took place on February 22, 1849, to Mary Ann Heller, who died December 25, 1849, leaving one child, Mary, who became the wife of George Mowery. On March 18, 1851, John G. French was married to Lydia Wiest and the following children were born to them: Amos, Eli, Henry, William; Elizabeth, who became the wife of John Gentis; John who lives in Michigan; Hattie, who became the wife of Jethro Potter. John G. French died November 27, 1897, his wife having died October 18, 1895. Before his death Mr. French divided his land among his children, retaining only the homestead for himself. At one time he owned 500 acres or more. In many ways he was a remarkable man. He was endowed with stupendous physical stre!
ngth and at the same time was gifted with a brilliant mind. For his own satisfaction he completed a course in law and was admitted to practice in the Wells Circuit Court. His retentive memory and his thorough good fellowship rendered him a delightful companion, even in advanced years, and his reminiscences of pioneer days in this section were as interesting as any romance ever written. He had many friends for he never forgot a kindness and never failed to repay many fold. It is a privilege to thus recall one of the sturdy men of other days who was so long identified with Wells County and helped make its history.
Eli French assisted his father in boyhood and youth and attended school at Morris Chapel and remained at home until twenty-three years old, when he married. At that time Mr. French had but small capital but he bought eighty acres of land and in the course of time purchased an adjoining eighty acres, and also owns a part of the old John G. French farm. He carries on general farming and has always been considered a farmer of good judgment and practical ideas.
Mr. French was married March 25, 1877, to Miss Eliza Risley, who was born in Harrison Township, Wells County, Indiana, and was reared and educated there. Nine children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. French, as follows: Jennie, who is the wife of Leroy Jacob, of Harrison Township; Carrie, who is the wife of Fred Bowman, of Nottingham; Myrtle, who is the wife of Wilson Dunbar of Linn Grove, Adams County, Indiana; Emma, who is the wife of Levi Brown, of Fort Wayne; Harriet, who is the wife of Edward Coffman, living in California; Anna, who is the wife of Guy Kindell, of Nottingham Township; Ica, who is the wife of William Grandlienard, of Adams County; Grace, who lives at home is a high school graduate; and Hazel, who is deceased.
Mr. French and family are active members of the Christian Church at Linn Grove. He is identified with the Lodge of Odd Fellows at Linn Grove, and is past noble grand of the lodge. He is a stanch democrat and a hearty supporter of party policies and candidates, but he has never been willing to serve in any public office although exceedingly well qualified because of his sound judgment and his high personal character.

ANDREW J. FRENCH. Among the older families of Adams County, those who have been here since pioneer times and developed the country in its material aspects, have built homes, have aided community growth and development, one of the best known is represented by Mr. Andrew J. French, a practical farmer who lives one mile south of Linn Grove.
He was born in French Township, Adams County, November 15, 1866, a son of William and Sarah (Johns) French, and a grandson of that Joseph French for whom this township was named. Joseph French was the first man to locate permanently in the township, and he became a natural leader in the community affairs. William French was born in Dearborn County, Indiana, February 16, 1823, and was twelve years of age when in 1835 the family settled in Adams County. There he grew to manhood, and in Wells County he married Sarah Johns. She was born in Virginia, October 26, 1828, and was ten years of age when in 1838 her parents moved from Virginia to Wells County, Indiana, locating about a mile west of Newville. There her father entered land from the Government, and in the midst of the heavy woods built a log cabin home. He lived there the rest of his life, dying in 1870, and had seen his efforts rewarded by extensive clearings and the development of a good farm. There were seven children i!
n the Johns family, all of whom are now deceased but Mrs. William French. Her sister, Sarah Frances, married George Sheldon. Mary married William Mayo. Virginia became the wife of Andrew Linn. Charlotte's first husband was Lou Sheldon and her second husband, George Sinomison [sic]. John S. married Trissie Horton. James never married. Mrs. William French is a member of the First Baptist Church at Bluffton, and at the organization of that church her parents were charter members.
After their marriage William French and wife settled on a farm in Hartford Township and some years later moved to Arkansas, where he died one year later. Mrs. French then returned to Hartford Township and has lived there for thirty-four years. She is the mother of five children: Charlotte, wife of William Miller of Muncie, Indiana; Joseph, deceased; Melissa, unmarried and now a teacher in the Linn Grove schools; J. D. French, a teacher in the Petroleum schools of Wells County; and Andrew J.
Andrew J. French grew up in Hartford Township and received his education at Linn Grove. At the age of seventeen he gave up his books and studies to busy himself with farming, and for some years he was also engaged in the operation of a sawmill. His activities are now confined to the operation of a good forty-acre farm, where he is handling the staple crops of this section and raises considerable stock. Mr. French is a past noble grand of Linn Grove Lodge No. 683 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and in politics is a democrat.

JOHN SCHURGER. There are many examples that give force to the old truth about the value of concentrated effort along one special line. One of them is furnished by the career of Mr. John Schurger of Decatur, who is credited with having made the first abstract of title in Adams County and has been constantly engaged in that as his chief line of business since October 5, 1875. There have been many abstractors in the county at different times, but none of them has been so long at the work and has had a more complete familiarity with all the land records of the county as Mr. Schurger.
It was in 1875 that he made the first abstract for the Equitable Loan Association of New York City. In 1874 he had been elected to the office of county recorder, beginning his official duties September 5, 1875. He filled that office with credit and efficiency for two terms, altogether a period of eight years. Mr. Schurger has always enjoyed the high esteem of his fellow citizens not only for his business success but for the interest he has shown in local affairs. One time he was run for the office of county commissioner against his own will, and his defeat was entirely due to the fact that he made absolutely no effort to get elected. Politically he has always been a democrat. On leaving the office of county recorder he was admitted to the bar in October 1883, and while one of the oldest member of the Adams County bar, his work has been less in the field of the law than in real estate and abstracts. For eight years he practiced as a partner with Mr. W. H. Reed, another promin!
ent attorney of the county. During that time, however, he did most of his work as an abstractor and in the loan and real estate business. More and more his time has been concentrated upon this certain field. After leaving practice with Mr. Reed he became a partner with David E. Smith, and their partnership was terminated about three years ago when Mr. Smith was elected to the office of judge of the Adams County Circuit Court. Mr. Schurger now gives his exclusive attention to abstracting. His authoritative knowledge and the integrity of his character have brought him many times to discharge duties of delicate adjustment and trust, and he has managed numerous difficult probate cases and has been nominally a probate officer in the county for many years.
Mr. John Schurger was born in Seneca County, Ohio, March 11, 1838, and though now in his eightieth year is still active and works as regularly as many men half his age. Mr. Schurger's career has been rather remarkable, in one respect for the fact that he secured only about forty days of schooling in an English school, though he attended a German school for a brief time. What he is and what he has done is entirely due to his earnest efforts and his willingness to assume responsibilities in advance of his years. When he was a young man he cleared up more than 150 acres of wild land in Ohio and Indiana. He has split many thousands of rails for 50 cents a hundred and has cut cordwood for 25 cents a cord.
His parents were George A. and Margaret (Rapp) Schurger. His father was born in France in 1796, but was taken as an infant by his parents to Bavaria, Germany, where he grew up. In 1828 he came to the United States. He had married a few months before starting on this eventful voyage, and the ship was ninety-three days in crossing the ocean. His young wife died with the birth of her first child and both of them were buried under the waters of the ocean. Bereft of his family George A. Schurger came on to Seneca County, Ohio. By trade he was an expert stone mason and fresco artist but at that time there was no demand for an artisan of that class and he secured a small tract of forty acres in Liberty Township of Seneca County, developed it as a farm, and before his death had twenty acres in cultivation. In Seneca County he married Margaret Rapp, who was born in Bavaria, Germany, in 1803. She had come to America in 1832 and to Seneca County, Ohio, with her sister Magdalena and her!
brother George. She was the youngest of her brothers and sisters. George A. Schurger died in Seneca County June 5, 1852. He left his widow with four daughters and two sons, all of them young, and with only the homestead improved with a log house and a barn for their support. The widowed mother did her part, keeping the children together, but could not have accomplished the task without the aid of her oldest son, John, who was fourteen years old when his father died. Already for a year he had taken a man's part on the little farm, and he cannot remember a time when he did not have a large assignment of duties so that it was not strange that he had no opportunity to obtain an education. Mr. Schurger, however, made up, for his early deficiencies by study and close observation, and has acquired more knowledge than many men who had better advantages in early life. His brother George served as a soldier in the Union army, and about the close of the war was discharged from a hosp!
ital, but was a long time in recovering his health. For a time he foll
owed work as a telegraph operator, and finally removed to Virginia where he became well-to-do and where his last years were spent.
In 1864 Mr. John Schurger came with the widowed mother and several of the children to Adams County, Indiana, and they bought a small tract of land in St. Mary's Township six miles south of Decatur. In 1866 Mr. Schurger sold this and bought forty acres near Decatur, and in connection with farming he engaged in the butcher business. His widowed mother passed away at his home November 3, 1886, at the age of eighty-four. Two of Mr. Schurger's sisters, Catherine and Mary, became sisters in St. Mary of the Woods Convent near Terre Haute, Indiana, and the sister Catherine, who is still there, has been a teacher in that noted institution since 1878.
On April 29, 1862, in Seneca County, Ohio, Mr. John Schurger married Agatha Fisher. She was born in Baden, Germany, in 1843, and came to America in 1848 with her parents S. and Theresa Fisher, who first located at Norwalk in Huron County, Ohio, and later moved to Seneca County, where Mrs. Schurger grew up and where her parents died. Mr. and Mrs. Schurger had eleven children, three of whom died in infancy. Catherine is the widow of John Schurger, lives in Seneca County, Ohio, and is the mother of eight children. Rosie is a sister in a convent at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Albert is a baker by trade and has a business at White Cloud, Michigan, and is married and has two daughters. Anthony, who like the other children was well educated in the parochial schools, is now living at Manistee, Michigan, is married and has four sons and one daughter. Magdalena is the wife of Elmer Roher of Pine River, Minnesota, and is the mother of four sons and one daughter. Louisa married Frank Kerber!
of Delphos, Ohio, and has six children. Christina lives at home and keeps house for her father. Fred F. is unmarried and assists his father in the office. Mrs. Schurger passed away April 10, 1917, after a long and faithful companionship as a wife and mother for fifty-five years. All the family are active members of St. Mary's Catholic Church. Mr. Schurger is a democrat, is a member of the Knights of Columbus, and has long been prominent in his church.

Later in life he came with his wife and children to Indiana, and located in Allen County, near the old Erie Canal. He then bought land in Naples, Allen County, and was there engaged in farming a few years, after which he moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he died when but forty-four years old. The maiden name of the wife of John Hite was Margaret Young. She, too, was born in Germany, and at the age of fourteen years came to America. While living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she met and married Mr. Hite. She survived him, dying at her home in Maples, Indiana, in 1897, aged seventy-seven years. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church, to which her husband also belonged.
Henry Hite was educated in the common schools of Mahoning County, Ohio, and as a boy and youth became well acquainted with the many branches of agriculture. About 1887 he formed a co-partnership with John Everett, and as a member of the well-known and prosperous firm of Everett & Hite has been actively engaged in mercantile pursuits in Decatur ever since. The firm carried on a substantial retail business for many years, in 1914 becoming wholesale dealers in fruit and groceries, lines of merchandise in which they have built up a large and lucrative trade, their business operations extending throughout the eastern part of Indiana and Western Ohio.
Mr. Hite married first Anna Wimer, who was born in Ohio, and died soon after her marriage in Decatur, Indiana, at the early age of twenty-two years, leaving no children. Mr. Hite married for his second wife, in Decatur, Lillie B. Wilson, a native of Decatur, and they are the parents of four children, namely: Hugh, who received a high school and a business education, and is now engaged in the clothing business with Mr. Vance, married Gertrude Waring, and they have two children, Virginia and Robert; Fannie, a clerk in the office of the Peoples Loan and Trust Company; Margaret, also a high school graduate, is bookkeeper for the firm to which her father belongs; and Mary, wife of Oscar Huffman, an architect, has one son, Billy.

Presbyterians.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply. No, I do not know your line. We always knew there were the "other Holloways" who were not related to us.
The way to tell would be to check my great Uncle Max's book "A Holloway Bicentennial." I think that is what it is called??? It lists all the family connections in Wells County. Is that the book you refer too? It does have several errors but is the best there is. It is available in the indiana Room of the Wells County Public Library.

Hello Clinton,
I just wondered if you know my mother? Emma Faye (Holloway) DeArmond? She is the daughter of Ivan and Erma (Emley) Holloway, they lived 2 mile south of Bluffton on 500S.
My mother claims that all of the Wells county Holloway are related. I have been trying to prove this for at least 3 years now. I have the Holloway book, and can't find any links.
Mom talked about Joe Holloway, I think they went to school together. Now, Mom has altimers and doesn't talk as much.

Hi all. As many of you are aware, last year I created a list which covered
several counties in IN and OH. These were all neighboring counties, and
many folks migrated between these counties. That was the reason for
creating the list. Because I had to move my digginbones.com domain to
another server, the list was lost a couple of months ago. I have recreated
the list. Hopefully, there won't be anymore major problems with it. The
list covers the following counties in East Central IN and West Central OH.
Adams Co., IN
Blackford Co., IN
Jay Co., IN
Randolph Co., IN
Wells Co., IN
Darke Co., OH
Mercer Co., OH
VanWert Co., OH
Since I had to re-create the list, anyone who was subscribed will need to
re-subscribe. To subscribe to the list, send a blank message to
eci-wco-subscribe(a)digginbones.com (East Central IN, West Central OH).
If you know other researchers who are researching ancestors in any of the
above counties, feel free to forward this message to them.

Am not researching this line, just trying to be helpful. Are you sure she was in Wells county in 1930? I could find no one by the name of Loos in that census of Wells county. I found one person by the name of Martha A Loos in Indiana. She was 17 and living with her mother Hattie in Allen county, Pleasant township. Good luck. Don
There was a reference to the Holloway family history book. What is the
title of this book and is it still in print? Who authored the book?
Thanx.

Opps! That should read Henry (Harry) Kirkwood, not Holloway.
