   LINCOLN CHANEY, son of Samuel and Keziah (Flater) Chaney, and grandson of
Thomas and Nancy (Frye) Chaney, was born in Greene County, Ind., in 1861. His
father settled in Greene County in 1845, and he and his wife were the parents of
twelve children. They are yet living on the old homestead, and are among the
best citizens of Richland Township. Lincoln Chaney was raised on the farm of his
parents, received a fair education when a boy, and by persistent pluck and
industry has established himself as one of the promising young men of the
county. He began as a merchant at Mineral City in 1872, with a capital of $250.
By judicious investments, he has from time to time increased his stock as his
means would allow, until he at present is worth about $1,500. Besides having a
good general store, Mr. Chaney is engaged in mining and the sale of coal. He is
a Republican in politics, and a young man destined to make his mark.
