   Hiram H. Palin, farmer and stock raiser, Newtown, third son of Exum N. and
Betsy (Bond) Palin, was born in Richland township, January 10, 1837. Exum Palin
and Thomas Bond, with their families, emigrated from North Carolina in 1812.
They were not acquaintances at this time. The Palins came to Richmond, Wayne
county, Indiana. The war had just begun, and the disturbances on the frontier
decided the Bonds to stop in Highland county, Ohio, until the next year, when
they went on to their destination in Wayne county, this state. Exam Palin was
married in 1827, and in 1836 removed to Richland township. Grandmother Palin is
now living on the old homestead, where she and her husband settled forty-five
years ago, at the ripe age of seventy-four and in vigorous health. She
distinctly remembers the war of 1812, and the alarms that were excited on
account of British and Indian depredations on the border. The subject of this
sketch was married, April 26, 1860, to Louisa M., daughter of John B. Jones, an
early settler, who came from Ohio in 1827. She was born January 10,1841. Their
two children are Ura Angeline, born October 28, 1863, and Alvessa, April 29,
1874. Mrs. Palin is a member of the Christian church at Pleasant Hill. Mr. Palin
owns a valuable farm of 415 acres, about seventy acres being woodland. He raises
considerable stock, which he ships himself, and also often buys from his
neighbors. Politically he is a republican.
