   WILLIAM A. HARBIN is one of eight children of James and Mary (McDonald)
Harbin, and a native of Iredell County, N. C, where he was born July 26, 1831.
Mr. Harbin is of Scotch origin. In 1846, he came to Sullivan County with his
father's family, where they lived about four years, and whence they came to
Greene County. On February 18, 1855, Miss Louisa Hinkle became his wife, and
from their union seven children have been born, of whom Florence C, Emery D.,
John K., William C. and James C. are yet living. Mr. Harbin has been a farmer
through life, and as such has been a success, now owning 330 acres of land, 270
of which are cleared and highly cultivated, making one of the finest farms in
Stafford Township. He is a member of both the Subordinate Lodge and Encampment
of I. O. O. F. at Pleasantville, and has been both Noble Grand and Chief
Patriarch in that order. Besides this, he is an influential member in the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and a free giver to the needy institutions around
him. Among his donations is one of $50 to Asbury University. More of such men is
all our county needs to make it one of the best in Indiana.
