   H. A. WOODRUFF, proprietor of the Farmers' Hotel of Tipton, was born in Brown
County November 20, 1819; his father, Joab Woodruff, removed to Johnson County
in 1821, and located on a farm near Williamsburg, where he remained until his
death, June 14, 1850. The subject of this sketch engaged in farming in Johnson
County, and in 1845 located in Tipton County, where he took a claim of 160 acres
in Prairie Township. In 1850, he removed to Tipton and purchased 162 acres of
wild land near the town; he went to work to clear his farm; he still owns this
tract, and has enlarged it to 380 acres. He also owns eighty acres about two
