Shideler, eldest son of Jacob and Susan (Miller) Shideler, was born in Wayne County, Ind., June 5, 1840. His father came from Montgomery County, Ohio, about 1816, and was married about 1838, in Wayne County, Ind., and soon after settled on a farm adjoining the one now occupied by our subject. This couple had a family of twelve children, six of whom survive---Aaron V., Mary, wife of John Snyder, of Hamilton County, Ind.; Lavina, wife of Abraham Wissler; Elizabeth, wife of George Anthony; Joseph M. and Amanda. Their parents are at present residing on a farm near Cambridge City, and bid fair to live to a good old age. Aaron V. was reared a farmer, receiving only a common- school education. He was married in 1860 to Rachel Dill, a native of Wayne County, and daughter of John S. and Rebecca Dill, who came from Berks County, Pa., in an early day. They have five children living---Moses T., Monroe L., Samuel S., Luella R. and Harry Sankey. A son, William E., died in infancy. Soon after his marriage Mr. Shideler settled on the farm where he still resides, which contains 140 acres of valuable land in a high state of cultivation, and where he is engaged in farming and stock-raising. Mr. Shideler has served one term as Road Supervisor. He is a prominent member of the Evangelical Association, formerly known as the Albrights. He was ordained Deacon of the church in 1867, and was regularly ordained in 1873. He has held all the important offices of his church, being at present its Trustee. His wife and children belong to the same church.
