Burlington township. He owns altogether two hundred thirty-nine and one-half

Magart was the son of Reuben Magart, Sr., and spent the rest of his life on the

Reuben Magart was at one time a wealthy man and assisted his children in getting
a good start in life When Reuben Magart, Jr., was married, he was assisted by
his father to buy a farm in Carroll county, the farm where Daniel B. now lives.

passing his last davs here. He erected all the buildings and made practically
all the improvements on the farm. He was a great worker in the Methodist
Protestant church and a leader in the Sunday school. He was also a minister in
the church and was known in this community as one of the most widely informed
Bible students of the time.

   Reuben, Jr., and Sarah Ann (Bell) Magart had seven children, six of whom grew

married to Annie Brim, the daughter of Monroe Brim, a native of Virginia, who
was killed in the Civil War. Annie (Brim) Magart came to Indiana with her

home place from the hetrs and moved to the farm in 1912. Mr. and Mrs. Magart
