REV. JOHN ULERY.

   One of the best-remembered ministers in the Brethren church during the past
generation in Carroll county was the Rev. John Ulery, who was born near Dayton,
Montgomery county, Ohio, and who moved with his parents to Tippecanoe county,
Indiana, where he was educated and where he grew to manhood. This great state
will never forget the services of its early ministers of the Gospel, and it is
impossible to compensate them in any way for the noble sacrifices they made.
This is especially true of those that are gone, and especially true of the Rev.
John Ulery, who divided his time between farming and preaching, and who
continued active in the ministry of the Gospel until his death.

   John Ulery was educated in the pioneer schools of Tippecanoe county, Indiana,
and lived at home with his parents until his father's death. He then began
working for himself, being at that time about twelve years old. On September 4,
1853, he was married to Esther Shively, a native of Tippecanoe county, Indiana,
born on January 1, 1839. To this happy union there were born four children, two
of whom are still living. The names of the Ulery children in the order of their
birth are as follow: Isaac, born on July 13, 1854, died at the age of four
years; Susanna, born on October 13, 1856, married Solomon Ulery and they are now
residents of Clay township, Carroll county; Henry, born on August 9, 1859, died
at the age of thirty years; Laura Ellen, born on January 12, 1876, married
William C. Welever, and they are now residents of Pyrmont, Carroll county.

   About 1870, Reverend Ulery retired from active farming and five years later,
in 1875, the family moved to Pyrmont, but he did not live long after his removal
to that town, passing away from the scenes of his earthly labors when he was
practically in the prime of his youthfulness.

   After the death of the Rev. John Ulery, his widow was married to Leonard
Wagoner, who died a few years later. She was subsequently married to Joseph
Felix. Mrs. Felix owns a farm of one hundred and three acres of well-improved
land in Tippecanoe county, Indiana, and also a farm of fifty-eight acres in Clay
township. Besides these two farms, she owns a splendid home in Pyrmont. Mrs.
Felix is a member of the Brethren church and one of the leading women in this
part of Carroll county. She is a woman of generous and charitable impulses, who
takes a most commendable part in all worthy public enterprises to which women
are accustomed to turn their attention. She is highly respected by her neighbors
and by those persons with whom she has been thrown into contact during her long
and useful life.
