   WILLIAM C. BANNON, farmer and stock-raiser, was born in Hancock County, Ind.,
February 4, 1844, and is the second of three sons born to John D. and Anna R.
(Richard) Bannon, both natives of Pennsylvania. He was left fatherless at the
age of four, and in 1854 went to Iowa with William P. Chapman, with whom he
lived for eight years, working on the farm. In the spring of 1862, he moved to
Madison County, Ind., and subsequently enlisted in Company G, Twelfth Regiment
Illinois Volunteer Infantry, under Gen. Logan. He engaged in battle at Jackson,
Miss., Missionary Ridge, Dallas, Tenn., Kenesaw Mountain, New Hope Church, and
the siege of Atlanta. He was honorably discharged after serving about three
years. Returning to Hamilton County, he engaged in farming on rented land for
two years, when he purchased forty acres. In the fall of 1872, he removed with
his family to this township, and purchased his present home of eighty acres, on
which he found twelve acres cleared and a small log cabin. He was married,
August 27, 1865, to Miss Nancy E. Kinnaman, born February 26, 1849. This
marriage has been blessed with nine children, six of whom are living-Henry,
Jerry, Mazy, Jesse, William and Andrew. Mr. Bannon and wife are members of the
Christian Church, and he is a Union Democrat, and has held some of the minor
offices of the township.
