   EDMUND P. WHISMAN, farmer and stock-raiser, is a native o [sic] Wayne County,
Ind., and was born February 1, 1845; he is the eldest son of Peter and Mary J.
(Miller) Whisman, natives respectively of Virginia and Indiana, and of German
and English descent. In the fall of 1851, his parents located in Cicero
Township, this county, and there Peter Whisman died, June 30, 1861, at the age
of forty-nine. The subject of this sketch being the eldest son, was taught the
use of the ax, maul and wedge in his youth. When his father died, he took charge
of the home farm; he supported the family until he was twenty-five years of age,
and in 1870 went West to prospect for a home; he traveled three years in
Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Indian Territory, after which he returned to this
county and engaged in farming the home place. In 1877, he located on the farm
where he now lives; he was married in the fall of 1873 to Miss Cynthia Thatcher,
of Tipton County. She was born in Switzerland County, Ind., in 1847, and is the
daughter of Jesse Thatcher. Four children blessed this union-Martha V., Peter,
Eva and Jesse. Mr. Whisman is identified with the Democratic party, and he and
his wife are members of the New-Light Church.
