DANIEL S. FORLOW.

   An enumeration of those citizens who have been highly successful in
agriculture and who at the same time have honored the locality where they reside
would be incomplete were the life and work of Daniel S. Forlow, a successful
farmer of Burlington township, omitted. Qualities which have made Mr. Forlow one
of the successful and prominent citizens of Carroll county have also won for him
the esteem of his fellow men. His career has been one of well-directed energy,
strong determination and honorable methods. He owns one hundred and sixty acres
of land in Burlington township, comprising the southeast quarter of section 8,
township 23, north range. The farm is located two and one-quarter miles south
and two and one-quarter miles west of Burlington, Indiana, on route 1 out of
Sedalia, Indiana.

   Daniel S. Forlow was born on June 28, 1857, in Butler county, Ohio, and is
the son of William and Margaret (McCloskey) Forlow, natives of Pennsylvania and
of Butler county, Ohio, respectively. William Forlow came with his father from
Pennsylvania to Butler county and there he grew up and was married to Margaret
McCloskey. Afterward they emigrated to Indiana, and during the Civil War located
in Burlington township, where both lived until their death. They had three
children, two sons and one daughter. Mary J., the daughter, died at the age of
eleven years; John M. married Hannah M. James and they live in Burlington
township; Daniel S. is the subject of this sketch.

   Only seven years old when the Forlow family emigrated to Burlington township,
Daniel S. attended the public schools of the township during the winter time and
in the summer worked on his father's farm. Having remained at home until he had
reached his majority, Mr. Forlow rented a farm for one year and when he was
twenty-two years old was married, June 6, 1879, to Florence R. James, a native
of Burlington township, born on October 15, 1859. Mrs. Forlow was the daughter
of James C. and Marcella (Wickard) James. Mrs. Forlow's grandfather, James
James, was born in Wales. Her father, James C. James, was married in Butler
county, Ohio, and after his marriage emigrated to Carroll county, where he spent
the remainder of his life. At the time of their marriage, Mrs. Forlow had a good
common-school education, having attended the country schools of Burlington
township.

   Of the two children born to Mr. and Mrs. Forlow, one died in infancy. William
W., the other child, who was born on April 29, 1881, graduated from the common
schools and married Anna Little. They have two children: Montes B., born on
March 1, 1903, and Fred D., born on December 9, 1906. Mr. and Mrs. William W.
Forlow live in Burlington township.

   While Daniel S. Forlow votes the Democratic ticket, he has never taken any
particular part in politics. He is prominent in fraternal circles in Burlington,
being a member of Burlington Lodge No. in, Free and Accepted Masons, and of
Burlington Lodge No. 129, Knights of Pythias. Mrs. Forlow is a member of the
Christian church at Burlington.
