   WILLIAM H. SUMMERS, farmer and tile-maker, is a native of Missouri, and was
born January 30, 1843; his father, William Summers, removed to Hamilton County,
Ind., when our subject was but nine years-of age. Mr. W. H. Summers was reared
on a farm in Hamilton County, and enlisted in the United States service August
11, 1862, and served until June 16, 1865; he enlisted in Company B,
Seventy-fifth Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and participated in battle at
Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, was in Sherman's campaign to Savannah, through to
Raleigh, thence to Richmond, Va. Mr. Summers was married September 6, 1866, in
this county, to Miss Maria Smith. This union has-been blessed with two
children-Bertha M. and Asher B. Mr. Summers owns a small farm of twenty-five
acres, and in 1879 purchased a half-interest in a tile factory, and subsequently
purchased the entire business. He manufactures about $1,700 worth of tile
annually; he is identified with the Republican party, and takes an active
interest in politics.
