Ohio, born October 24, 1818. He is a farmer by occupation. The mother of our
subject was born in Clearspring, Penn., April 16, 1819. The parents were blessed
with ten children, four of whom are living-Perry N., E. W., Mrs. J. F. Bryan and

United Brethren College at Westfield, Ill., and also afterward attended for two
