   WILLIAM L. MORTLAND, a native of Jefferson County, Ohio, was born September
18, 1851, and is a son of John and Ann A. (Archer) Mortland, with whom he
removed to Illinois in 1854, and from there to Greene County, Ind., some ten
years later. John Mortland was twice married, six children, four yet living,
being born to his first marriage, and to his second marriage with Miss Lucinda
Wilson, none. William L. Mortland was raised on the farm of his parents, and
during his youthful days secured a fair education. At the age of twenty years,
he embarked on life's voyage on his own responsibility, and since then has been
paddling his own canoe with the average success of mankind. His marriage with
Miss Mollie S. McElroy was solemnized March 28, 1872, and four children have
blessed their union—Martha Alice, Lizzie F., Anna B. and Samuel A.
