   URIAH CHRISTENBERRY, a native of Taylor Township, Greene Co., Ind., was born
August 18, 1833, and is one of thirteen children of Hiram and Lucy (Baker)
Christenberry, who were among the pioneers of Greene County. Excepting a few
years, Mr. Christenberry has always made his home in the county where he now
resides, and here he received his schooling from the primitive log cabin of that
day. His marriage with Lucinda Wesner was solemnized December 11, 1856, and on
the 22d of April, 1860, he was left a widower with one child, Lucinda, now
living. He married his second wife, Mrs. Suaney (Porter) Grove, September 8,
1864, and to this union seven children have been born—Lillie Belle, John F.,
Thomas J., Emilie E., Minnie M., Walter C. and Lulu A. Mr. Christenberry has
followed farming mostly through life, and besides this he was connected in the
drug trade at Newberry for about eight years. He owns a good farm of 200 acres,
nicely improved and under good cultivation. His wife is a member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and he is one of the progressive and best citizens
of the county. In youth, he received the sobriquet of "Tom," and by this name he
is as much known as by the name he was christened.
