Charles N. McGrew, deceased, was born in Montgomery County, Ohio, Jan. 9, 
1817, a son of William and Charlotte McGrew, and when he was quite small his 
parents moved to Wayne County, Ind., where he was reared on a farm and 
received a common-school education. He was a very successful business man and 
accumulated a handsome fortune, owning at the time of his death 160 acres of 
well-improved land, situated in the bottom of Nolan's Fork. He was one of the 
prominent men of the township, and served as Trustee several years prior to 
his death. He was a member in high standing of Milton Lodge, No. 108, F. & A. 
M., and Milton Lodge, No. 111, I.O.O.F. Mr. McGrew died Feb. 10, 1877, aged 
sixty years. He was married in 1844 to Melinda, daughter of Dickson and Eliza 
Hurst. She was born in Warren County, Ohio, in 1819, but came with her parents 
to Wayne County when quite young. To Mr. and Mrs. McGrew were born eight 
children, but one of whom, Ida J., is living. The deceased are---Maranda, Mary 
M., Alfred L., Marcus D., and three infants, unnamed. Their daughter Maranda 
was married when seventeen years of age to Abner Daily, who only lived two 
months after their marriage. Eleven months later she died leaving a son, 
Charles Abner, who was reared by his grandmother, Mrs. McGrew. He has now had 
control of the farm four years, and is a young man of extraordinary good 
business ability, and is very enterprising and energetic. Mrs. McGrew is now 
enjoying a quiet old age with her only daughter and grandson on the old 
homestead where she settled when first married.
