JOHN M. FORLOW.

   John M. Forlow, a prosperous farmer of Burlington township, who owns eighty
acres of land, situated four miles southwest of Burlington, is a native of
Butler county, Ohio. Mr. Forlow was born on November 28, 1854, the son of
William and Margaret (McCloskey) Forlow, the former of whom was a native of
Burks county, Pennsylvania, and the latter of Butler county, Ohio. William
Forlow accompanied his father, John Forlow, to Ohio when a lad of four years,
and there grew to manhood and was married to Margaret McCloskey. She was the
daughter of John McCloskey, who had also come from Pennsylvania to Ohio.

   After their marriage in Butler county, Ohio, Mr. and Mrs. William Forlow
lived there until February, 1863, when they immigrated to Carroll county,
Indiana, and settled on the home farm, near Koro. Mr. Forlow had owned the farm,
however, before moving to this county. At the time of their deaths they owned
two hundred and forty acres of land in Burlington township. They were the
parents of three children: Mary Jane, who died in September, 1864; John M., the
subject of this sketch, and Daniel S., who lives on the home place.

   John M. Forlow lived at home with his parents until his marriage, on
September 19, 1877, to Hannah James, the daughter of James C. and Mar-cella
James, who were natives of Butler county, Ohio, but who reared their family in
Indiana. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Forlow moved to the farm which they
have since occupied, with the exception of two years spent in Sedalia. Mr. and
Mrs. Forlow have five children: James, who lives on the home farm; Jesse, a
resident of Flora; Addie, the widow of Henry Lauchner, of Sedalia; Maggie, the
wife of Leonard Mitchell, of Burlington township, and Rosa, the wife of Charles
Lauchner, of Sedalia.

   Mr. Forlow is a Democrat in politics and has served several terms as a member
of the township advisory board. Fraternally, he is a member of Burlington Lodge
No. 111, Free and Accepted Masons, and is past master of the lodge. Mrs. Forlow
is a member of the Brethren church at Burlington, and takes an active interest
in all religious works. The Forlows are well known in Burlington township and
enjoy the confidence and esteem of all the people of the township.
