ALFRED W. LIVINGSTON.

   Among the prosperous farmers and older citizens of Democrat township, Carroll
county, Indiana, is Alfred W. Livingston, who, although a little more than past
the prime of life, has lived in this section of Indiana for more than fifty
years. He owns one hundred and forty acres of land three-quarters of a mile from
Prince William on the Prince William and Delphi pike.

   Alfred W. Livingston was born in Huntington county, Pennsylvania, April 3,
1857, and is the son of John and Nancy (Silverthorn) Livingston, the former of
whom was born in Huntington county and the latter in Juniata county,
Pennsylvania, The Silverthorns came originally from Holland and Alfred W.
Livingston, the subject of this sketch, is a representative of the fourth
generation of the family in America. The Livingstons are of Irish descent.

   John and Nancy (Silverthorn) Livingston were married and lived in
Pennsylvania until about 1862, when they immigrated to Indiana. They lived for a
few weeks at Star City and, after that, at Michigantown from April to August,
1862, when they purchased a farm near Rossville, in Clinton county, a tract of
eighty acres. There they lived until their deaths. Alfred W. Livingston lived on
that farm for thirty-one years. He purchased the farm after his father's death
and erected new buildings. Some years ago Mr. Livingston purchased a tract of
eighty acres, a part of the farm which he now owns and occupies. Since that
time, however, he has added sixty acres and now owns altogether one hundred and
forty acres.

   On January 18, 1884, Alfred W. Livingston was married to Louisa Ball, the
daughter of Jacob and Mahelia Ball, of Carroll county, Indiana. Mrs.
Livingston's father was a native of Ohio and came to Indiana at an •early date.
Mr. and Mrs. Livingston have been the parents of seven children: John, who lives
on a farm near Prince William; Frank, who lives in Clay township, Carroll
county; Lucy, who lives at home with her parents; Dale, who married Anna
Hufford, the daughter of John Hufford, and lives on a farm in Clay township;
Lloyd, who is deceased; Russell, who lives at home, and Adrian, who also lives
at home.

   Mr. Livingston is a Republican in politics, although he has never taken any
special part in the councils of his party. He has devoted his life rather to
farming and to the interests of the farm. He has a host of friends in Democrat
township, where he is well known.
