   JESSE THATCHER, farmer, is a native of Bracken County, Ky., born May 26,
1819, and is a son of Joseph and Mary (Keithler) Thatcher, natives of New Jersey
and Kentucky respectively. At the age of two years, our subject removed with his
parents to Switzerland County, Ind., and at the age of seven was left an orphan,
whereupon he went to live with Moses Branson, of Vevay, Switzerland County,
where he remained ten years and learned the wagon-maker's trade, but  his early
education was much neglected. In 1840, he worked on a farm, and in 1841 located
at Quercus Grove, where he opened a wagon shop. There he continued business
nineteen years, and in 1860 removed to this county, and purchased 120 acres of
forest land, on which was a log cabin, where he made for himself and family a
good home. In 1880, he sold eighty acres of his farm, and is at present residing
on the other forty acres he retained. Mr. Thatcher was married, February 23,
1842, to Miss Celia Coy, of Switzerland County, Ind., who died January 5, 1857,
leaving five small children, three of whom are living-John, Cynthia A. and
Joseph. Mr. Thatcher was next married in February, 1858, to Mrs. Eliza (Mott)
Mounts, by which union they have had two children-Pallas (deceased), and Jessie
Eveline. Mr. Thatcher is a representative man of the National party, and he and
wife are members of the Christian Church.
