    JOHN F. SLINKARD, great-grandson of John Slinkard, the old pioneer of Greene
County, was born near Newberry, in Cass Township, November 16, 1849, and is a
son of Andrew B. and Sarah (O'Neal) Slinkard. He was raised on a farm until
sixteen years old, and in early years received his learning from the common
schools. In 1868, he completed a course of instruction from the Vincennes
Commercial College, and for the succeeding ten years was in partnership with his
father at Newberry, in mercantile pursuits. In 1878, he received the nomination
of his party for the County Clerkship, and after a sharp contest in which he had
a Republican majority to overcome, he was duly elected. He served in this
capacity four years, but since then has been engaged in farming in his native
township. Mr. Slinkard is an Odd Fellow, and like the majority of his name a
warm Democrat in politics. January 1, 1873, Miss Caroline, daughter of Aaron and
Nellie Williamson, became his wife. To their union this family has been born:
Oscar P., Annetta E., Nellie W., Harry K., Cyrus L. and one as yet unnamed. Mr.
Slinkard is one of the prominent men of southern Greene County, and both he and
family are universally esteemed.
