PETER JULIEN.

   Peter Julien, a pioneer resident of Carroll county and a retired farmer of
Monroe township, is a native of Warren county, Ohio, born on September 10, 1837.

   Mr. Julien is the son of Abel and Rachel (Banta) Julien, the former of whom
was born in South Carolina and who moved to Ohio at an early date. He was a
farmer by occupation and was also engaged in driving prairie schooners. In 1843
the family moved to Indiana and in that year, when Peter Julien was only six
years old, his mother died. The father had previously made the journey to
Indiana and had entered eighty acres of land in Madison township, Carroll county.

   Abel and Rachel (Banta) Julien had nine children, Mary, David, Eli, Daniel,
Henry, Ellis, Peter, Albert and William, of whom Peter, the subject of this
sketch, is the only one now living. After the death of his first wife, Abel
Julien was married a second time, and to this second marriage there was born one
child, Jessie.

   When fifteen years old, Peter Julien left home and began to work on
neighboring farms. He worked out by the month for different farmers in the
neighborhood. On August 28, 1859, Peter Julien was married to Elizabeth Bard.
They lived on forty acres of land west of Bringhurst, where Mrs. Elizabeth
Julien died on August 2, 1867. To this union were born four children, two of
whom died in infancy, Mrs. H. H., who lives in Howard county, near Kokomo, and a
son, whose whereabouts is unknown. From 1868 to 1877 Mr. Julien followed the
carpenter's trade. Mr. Julien lived in Delphi until 1873, when he moved to
Frankfort, where he lived for two years. He then returned to Delphi and finally
settled one mile southwest of Bringhurst, where he lived for one year. The
Julien family then moved to a farm two miles east of Radnor, where they lived
for four years.

   They then purchased a farm three miles west of Flora, where they lived until
March, 1914, when they moved to Flora. Mr. Julien owns one hundred and sixty
acres of land, which is rented.

   On September 22, 1870, Peter Julien was married, at Delphi, to Amanda
Overley, the daughter of H. H. and Rebecca (Greathouse) Overley, the former of
whom emigrated from Ross county, Ohio, with his parents in October, 1830, when
he was twelve years old. They settled on the Wabash river, where they spent one
winter and then entered land in Tippecanoe township, Carroll county, Indiana,
near Sheets mill. David Overley, the father, died there in 1842. Rebecca
Greathouse, at the time of her marriage to H. H. Overley, was living in
Lafayette. After their marriage, they settled in Tippecanoe township and lived
there for two years. They then moved to Illinois in the fall of 1844. In the
spring of 1845 they returned to Indiana and settled on the Monticello road, in
Tippecanoe and Jefferson townships. In the spring of 1849 tney moved to the
prairie near Delphi, and in the spring of 1853 to a farm one mile north of
Pittsburg. There Mrs. Rebecca Overley died in 1853. Her husband then moved to a
farm two miles north of Pittsburg, in the spring of 1854, and there he lived
until 1865, when he sold out and moved to White county, settling five miles east
of Monticello, where he died in March, 1872.

   Mr. and Mrs. Peter Julien have been the parents of four children, two of whom
are now living; Harry Burton and Wilbur D. are deceased; Ren C., who lives in
Delphi, and Maud, the wife of Walter Ayres, who lives south of Flora on a farm.

   Mr. and Mrs. Peter Julien are members of the First Baptist church of Delphi.
Mr. Julien has been a Republican in politics all of his life.
