ROBERT S. TRAWIN.

   Robert S. Trawin, a prosperous farmer of Deer Creek township, Carroll county,
was born in Deer Creek township, April 20, 1851, and is the son of Samuel H. and
Cassandra (Lewis) Trawin.

   Mr. Trawin received his education in the district schools of Carroll county
and in the high school at Delphi, which he attended for two years. He taught
school for two years after leaving high school and then engaged in farming.
After renting land for a few years, he purchased forty acres of land and has
added to that tract until he now owns one hundred and twenty acres of
well-improved land with thoroughly modern improvements, including a splendid
barn and a comfortable house. Sixty acres of the farm were covered with timber
when Mr. Trawin purchased it.

   On September 23, 1876, Robert S. Trawin was married to Mary J. Rohrabaugh, a
daughter of Eli and Lucinda (Riffey) Rohrabaugh, natives of Virginia and Ohio,
respectively. Mrs. Trawin's father came with his parents, when a young man, and
settled with them north of Delphi. Mrs. Trawin's mother came with her brother to
Carroll county. She bore her husband four children, James A., who lives in
Madison township; Frank V., of Marshall county; E. E., of Illinois; and Mary J.,
the wife of Mr. Trawin. Mrs. Trawin's father, who was a farmer by occupation,
died in Carroll county in 1898.

   Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Trawin have been the parents of three children, Mary
Etta, who graduated from the Delphi high school and is the wife of L. G.
Stevenson, of near Augusta, Wisconsin; Harry, who is a graduate of the Delphi
high school and resides in Chicago; Larry, who is also a graduate of the .Delphi
high school and who married Grace Sager. He operates the home farm in
partnership with his father.

   Mr. Trawin is engaged in general farming and has been very successful. He is
a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Delphi. A Democrat in
politics, he was appointed deputy assessor of Deer Creek township, a position
which he capably filled for a period of two years. Mr. Trawin is well known to
the people of this township and neighborhood, where he has resided for a long
period.
