ISAAC N. HASLET.

   Isaac N. Haslet, a well-known farmer of Democrat township, who served a term
of five years as assessor of the township and who has been prominent in Democrat
township politics and in the fraternal circles of this community all his life,
owns a farm of eighty acres two and one-half miles from Lexington, Carroll
county, Indiana, in Democrat township.

   Mr. Haslet is a pioneer resident of Democrat township, having been born in
Carroll county, Indiana, on July 8, 1842. He is a son of William and Mary
(Stewart) Haslet, the former of whom was born in Butler county, Ohio, and who,
after his marriage, emigrated to Carroll county, Indiana, in 1834, settling in
section 7 of Democrat township, where he entered one hundred and sixty acres of
land. He lived in this township the balance of his life. He became a prominent
citizen of his community, being keenly interested in local politics, and was
also active in church affairs, being a member of the Presbyterian church. His
wife, Mary Stewart, was also a native of Butler county, Ohio. They were the
parents of the following children: James, deceased, was a resident of this
county, living on a farm west of Flora; William, deceased, lived in Democrat
township; John, of Democrat township, deceased; Robert, deceased, lived in this
township, but subsequently moved to Lagrange county, Indiana, where his death
occurred; Isaac N., the subject of this review; Joseph, living on a farm in
Oklahoma, and two children, Isabelle and Mary Elizabeth, deceased.

   The mother of these children died in the fifties. Then William Haslet married
Rachel Stewart, sister of Mary, and to this union were born Fiette, wife of
Doctor Sigler, deceased; Phebe, wife of John Crecraft: Hannah, deceased, wife of
M. Whitesell; Martha, Sarah and Samuel, now deceased. The father of these
children died on May 1, 1866.

   Isaac N. Haslet lived at home until he reached the age of twenty-four years,
and on April 17, 1868, was married to Mary Starkey, the daughter of William
Starkey, of Clay township, this county. Mr. and Mrs. Haslet were the parents of
five children, two of whom are deceased, Jasper S. and William Wallace. The
living children are as follow: James, a resident of Warren county, Indiana;
Josephine, the wife of Forrest Armstrong; Ida Mary, the wife of Andrew Miller, a
farmer of Clay township. The mother of these children died in 1878, and on June
16, 1881, Mr. Haslet was married to Mrs. Elizabeth (Howard) Flynn, the daughter
of John Howard, of Kentucky. To this union have been born three children:
Estella, the wife of William Shaffer; Bessie, the wife of M. Black, of
Frankfort, Indiana, and Howard, who served in the regular army up to December 4,
1915. Mrs. Haslet had two daughters by her first marriage, Nellie, wife of
George Long, of Frankfort, and Daisy, wife of E. Kingery, of Sedalia.

   Fraternally, Mr. Haslet is a member of Sedalia Lodge No. 508, Free and
Accepted Masons. Mrs. Haslet is a member of Eastern Star Lodge of Sedalia.
Politically, he is a Democrat, and takes an active interest in all local public
affairs, and whatever measure having for its object the betterment and
improvement of the community, has a loyal and stanch supporter in Mr. Haslet,
who has resided on the farm where he still lives for forty-three years.
