MARION B. THOMAS.

   Marion B. Thomas was born on October 10, 1868, son of Jacob and Margaret
(Hill) Thomas, the former of whom was born in Greenbrier county, Virginia, in
1823, and the latter was born in the same county and state on April 19, 1831.
She is still living at the present time and makes her home with her son, Mason
B. Both were reared in the same neighborhood in Virginia and, after their
marriage, emigrated to Carroll county, Indiana, locating in Burlington township,
in the early fifties. Here the late Jacob Thomas lived until his death in
February, 1897.

   When Jacob and Margaret (Hill) Thomas arrived at Madison, Indiana, they had
only five dollars. Subsequently they lived in Hendricks county, Indiana, for a
short time and then removed to Carroll county, where Jacob Thomas worked by the
day until he purchased eighty acres of land. This he owned at the time of his
death. Jacob and Margaret (Hill) Thomas had eleven children, six of whom are now
living. George L. is a retired farmer of Burlington; James F. is unmarried and
is a resident of Kokomo, Indiana; Andrew J. lives in Denver, Colorado; Floyd L.
served throughout the Spanish-American War in the regular army and now lives at
Hot Springs, Arkansas; Lemuel E., who is an invalid, lives with his brother,
Marion B., in Burlington township, Carroll county.
