   SALATHIEL V. PLUMMER, a representative farmer, was born in Rush County, Ind.,
December 9, 1832, and is the son of Hiram and Lydia (Vickery) Plummer. Hiram
Plummer located in Washington, Rush County, Ind., in his youth, and was there
married. In 1849, he removed to Tipton County and purchased 160 acres; he dealt
in land until he owned about 600 acres; he died August 29, 1868; his wife (aged
seventy-four) is still living, and resides upon the old homestead. S. V. Plummer
received a limited education. Upon reaching his majority, he began farming for
himself. In 1855, he and family moved to Iowa, and located first in Harden
County and then in Marion County. In 1857, he returned to Tipton County, and
purchased 120 acres for $1,500. By hard work and industry, he succeeded in
making a good home. In 1865, he removed to Northern Missouri, but soon returned
to this township; he then purchased 120 acres of forest land, upon which he
lived until 1872; he then visited Kansas and Missouri, and located again in
Missouri; returning home for his family, he soon purchased his present home of
sixty acres, which is now well improved and under cultivation. Mr. Plummer was
married, February 18, 1853, to Miss Martha J. Gray, a native of Owen County,
Ind. By this marriage they have four children-Sarah A., George M., Alice and
Hiram D. Mr. Plummer is a supporter of Democratic principles; his wife is a
worthy member of the Christian Church.
