HENRY LANDES.

   Henry Landes, a successful farmer of Carrollton township, this county, who
owns one hundred and twenty-seven acres of land situated five and one-half miles
east of Flora, is a native of the township where he now lives, having been born
on March 6, 1851.

   Mr. Landes' father, Felix Landes, whose wife was Eleanor Quinn, was born near
Zanesville, Ohio. The parents of Felix Landes, Fred and Mary (Thomas) Landes,
were natives of Rockingham county, Virginia, where they grew to manhood and
womanhood and where they were married. Subsequently, they emigrated to Muskingum
county, Ohio, and there lived until 1838, when they emigrated to Indiana and
settled in Carrollton township, Carroll county. There they purchased a large
tract of land and spent the remainder of their lives. They were members of the
Dunkard church. Fred Landes was identified with the Whig party. His son, Felix,
who was one of ten children, was nineteen years old when the family emigrated to
Carroll county, Indiana. He grew up in Carrollton township and received a
common-school education. He was married to Eleanor Quinn, a native of Butler
county, Ohio, who came to Indiana in 1837. Mrs. Eleanor Landes had received her
education in the public schools of Butler county. She bore her husband nine
children, three of whom, Frederick, Henry and John E., are living.   Frederick
is a farmer in Carrollton township. Henry is the subject of this sketch. John E.
lives on the farm where his grandfather settled.

   Henry Landes, who occupies the farm upon which his father lived for many
years, was reared on the farm and educated in the district schools. He attended
school until eighteen years old, but remained at home with his parents until his
father's death, in 1877. His mother died in 1890.

   On September 20, 1879, Henry Landes was married to Kizzie Blue, a native of
Carrollton township, born on February 21, 1856, the daughter of John W. and
Margaret (Moudy) Blue, the former of whom was born in Clinton county, Indiana,
and the latter in Ohio. John W. Blue came to Indiana and first settled near
Delphi, where he was married to Margaret Moudy. He was the son of Uriah Blue, a
native of Virginia, who settled first in Ohio, later in Indiana and still later
in Illinois. Late in life he returned to Indiana, and here spent his last years.
Mrs. Kizzie (Blue) Landes was reared in Carrollton township and received a
common-school education in the public schools of this township. To her and her
husband have been born one son, Manford W., who was born on March 22, 1880. He
is a graduate of the common schools and married Laura Robinson. They have one
child, Max, and live on the home farm.

   Mr. and Mrs. Henry Landes are members of the Presbyterian church at Wheeling.
A Republican in politics, Mr. Landes has been active in politics all of his
life, especially in local township and county politics. He is a man whose voice
and influence carry great weight in the councils of his party.
