CHICAGO: GOODSPEED BROS. & CO., PUBLISHERS. 1884. GREENE CO., IN. JACKSON TWP. PAGE 372 JAMES G. HERT, merchant, is a native of Owensburg, his birth occuring October 27, 1849. His father, William Hert, was born in Barren Co., Ky., September 24, 1825; came to Indiana at four years of age, and was apprenticed to the blacksmith's trade the day he was seventeen years of age, which occupation he followed until 1856; then engaged in mercantile pursuits, which he followed until his death, which occurred September 26, 1875. The subject of this sketch attended the common schools until sixteen years of age; then began teaching, which he continued until he reached the age of twenty years; then embarked in the dry goods business with his father, under the firm name of Hert & Son, which was continued until the death of his father. He then assumed and conducted the business under the firm name of James G. Hert & Co., which is one of Owensburg's most successful business houses. They carry a stock of about $4,000 and have an annual sale of from $15,000 to $20,000. Besides town property, James G. owns 160 acres of land adjoining Owensburg, well watered and timbered and in high state of cultivation, The farm is the first one ever entered in the vicinity, and the patent, now in owner's posssession, is signed by Andrew Jackson. He also owns other lands, and in addition to his mercantile business takes considerable interest in live stock, being the pioneer in introducing the famous breed of "Holstein" cattle in Indiana. Mr. Hert was married in January, 1881, to Margaret Short, who owns by inheritance a fine farm of 160 acres on Indian Creek, being the first tract of land ever entered in the township. He is both an Odd Fellow and Mason, and was commissioned Postmaster, under President Hayes' administration, in which official position he is yet serving. Both he and wife are members of the Christian Church. Mr. Hert may properly be called one of Greene County's most enterprising and esteemed citizens, and is a radical "Hoosier," believing Indiana to be the best State in the Union. In politics, he is a Republican. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jun 1998 20:10:58 -0500 From: "Diana Flynn" Subject: KFY: BIO: Records, James M. - Boone Co RECORDS, WILSON, DOBBINS "HISTORY OF GREENE AND SULLIVAN COUNTIES, STATE OF INDIANA, FROM THE EARLIEST TIME TO THE PRESENT; TOGETHER WITH INTERESTING BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES, REMINISCENCES, NOTES, ETC."

CHICAGO: GOODSPEED BROS. & CO., PUBLISHERS. 1884. GREENE CO., IN. JACKSON TWP. LEMUEL B. SEXSON was born in Kentucky in the year 1824, and is a son of Joel and Abigail (Davis) Sexson, who removed to Monroe County, Ind., in 1828, and located near the Greene County line. In 1830, the family settled in Center Township, of the last-named county, where they continued to reside many years. Joel Sexson took a very active part in the progress and development of Greene County, and his name and familiar chirography are found on various valuable public documents at the court house in Bloomfield. Lemuel B. Sexson is one of the county's best farmers. His early manhood was passed on the farm of his parents and teaming to Louisville, but since attaining his majority he has been engaged in farming, dealing in stock, and operating what is known as the Sexson Flouring Mills on Indian Creek. He has been three times married, and is the father of eleven children, seven of whom are yet living. In 1849, he was married to his first wife, Miss Mary M. Alexander, who died in 1866. In 1867, his marriage with Miss Nan Leonard was solemnized, but this lady died in 1868, bearing one son, who died shorly after his mother's death. His marriage in 1869 with Miss Kate Leonard has been fruitful in the birth of three children, one being dead. In politics, Mr. Sexson is independent, voting for the best man, and not the party. For a number of years, he served as Trustee of Jackson Township. At present, he owns 740 acres of good land in the county, besides having given 120 acres to those of his children who are doing for themselves. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jun 1998 20:49:19 -0500 From: "Diana Flynn" Subject: KFY: BIO: Story, James - Fleming Co STORY, MCGHEA, HINKLE, HAIL "HISTORY OF GREENE AND SULLIVAN COUNTIES, STATE OF INDIANA, FROM THE EARLIEST TIME TO THE PRESENT; TOGETHER WITH INTERESTING BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES, REMINISCENCES, NOTES, ETC."

Wm. - Bath Co BOUGH, SEXSON, HOFFMAN "HISTORY OF GREENE AND SULLIVAN COUNTIES, STATE OF INDIANA, FROM THE EARLIEST TIME TO THE PRESENT; TOGETHER WITH INTERESTING BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES, REMINISCENCES, NOTES, ETC." CHICAGO: GOODSPEED BROS. & CO., PUBLISHERS. 1884. GREENE CO., IN. TAYLOR TOWNSHIP PAGE 382 CAPT. WILLIAM BOUGH, a veteran of the Mexican war and the rebellion, was born in Bath County, Ky., November 14,1823, and is a son of Frederick and Rebecca (Sexson) Bough, who settled in Highland Township, Greene County, Ind., in 1827. Frederick Bough was a farmer, and died in 1876, but his widow yet survives him, and resides near Scotland at eighty years of age. From the time he was twenty-one years old, William Bough has been doing for himself, and in this time has accumulated land to the amount of over 200 acres. On this he resides and his attention is largely occupied in rearing blooded horses and cattle, besides looking after his large farm. His military experience was in joining Company E, Second Indiana Volunteers, in June, 1846, and participating in the battles of Buena Vista, where he was severely wounded through the right shoulder by a musket ball, and a part of the engagement at Monterey. In 1861, he helped recruit Company C, Twenty-first Indiana Volunteer Infantry, but from the ranks was commissioned First Lieutenant on the 29th of July of the same year. He was in the battles of Baton Rouge and Port Hudson; and a remarkable exploit of his was in the spring of 1862, when he was put in command of twelve men, and detailed to guard a railroad bridge not far from New Orleans. With two men he crossed a bayou to an island on a reconnoitering expedition, and discovered over a score of rebels encamped in a canebrake guarding two dismounted pieces of artillery. It being dark, and these three men being armed with breech-loading carbines, they made a dash on the enemy through the underbrush, yelling, shooting and re-loading, and making such a noise that they were evidently mistaken for a full-fledged company. The rebels fled in dismay, while the victors hurried the captured pieces back to where the remainder of the detachment was stationed. These two guns were six pounder Spanish pieces, and were the identical ones Mr. Bough helped capture at Monterey in 1846. He was ordered to confiscate mules to draw these pieces, which, on being properly manned, was placed in command as a light artillery which received the appellation of the "Jackass Battery." The winter of 1863-64, Mr. Bough reenlisted, was veteranized, and December 9, 1863, was commissioned Captain of his company. He served through the battles of Mobile and the Spansh Fort, at the latter being in command of four 64-pounder howitzers. Besides the above mentioned engagement in which he was an active participant, Capt. Bough saw much other hard service which space prevents publishing, but among which was his capture with twelve men of the blockade runner "Fox," or properly know as the "Hartford." He remained in the service until January 10,1866, when he was discharged at Indianapolis, in command of the regiment. Capt. Bough is an old wheel-horse of the Republican party, and is one of the county's best citizens. He was married, March 29, 1844, to Mary Ann Hoffman, who died February 2,1881, without issue. Although no children were born to them, they reared and educated several orphan children, to whom they were the same as parents. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Jul 1998 08:50:00 -0500 From: "Diana Flynn" Subject: KFY: BIO: Wright, Owen T. - Unknown Co WRIGHT, GARDNER, O'DONALD "HISTORY OF GREENE AND SULLIVAN COUNTIES, STATE OF INDIANA, FROM THE EARLIEST TIME TO THE PRESENT; TOGETHER WITH INTERESTING BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES, REMINISCENCES, NOTES, ETC." CHICAGO: GOODSPEED BROS. & CO., PUBLISHERS. 1884. GREENE CO., IN. TAYLOR TWP. PAGE 388 OWEN T. WRIGHT, whose birth occurred in Kentucky in 1842, is one of three surviving children in a family of four born to the marriage of Rev. Abraham and Ellen (Gardner) Wright, which was consummated in 1841. At eleven years of age, he was cast upon the world to battle for himself, and with but few exceptions has been engaged in farming. June 7, 1861, he became a private in Company D, Fourteenth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and at the Wilderness was captured, and for a time was incarcerated in Andersonville and Florence Prisons. While being transferred in box-cars from one prison to another, he and companions managed to secure a crowbar, tore up the flooring of the car, so that when the train stopped for water they made their escape into the swamp. For four days they traveled through the swamps, and then Mr. Wright was stricken down with a malignant fever. When their pursurers were about to discover their hiding place, Mr. Wright was moved, in the night to a house, but here left, and was recaptured, taken to Lumberton, N. C., where he was left to die or recover as the case might be. Shortly after this, Sherman's advance cavalry discovered him, removed him to the federal lines, from here to Goldsboro, then to the coast, and from thence to Fortress Monroe. Mr. Wright was a fealess and valued soldier, and was twice promoted for bravery, once by his Captain. At the battle of Fredricksburg, after the color-bearer and guards had been shot down, Mr. Wright seized the emblem of liberty and bore it aloft through a leaden hailstorm. Since the war, he has resided in Greene County, where he is widely known and respected. He is a member of the F. & A. M., a Republican, and he and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1866, the marriage of Owen T. Wright and Miss Julia A. O'Donald was solemnized, and to them these children have been born: Florence J., Cora A., Nancy E., Bertha F. and one deceased. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Jul 1998 09:29:05 -0500 From: "Diana Flynn" Subject: KFY: BIOS: Arthur Sons, s/o John Arthur - Unknown Co ARTHUR, WATKINS, CROCKETT, BURKS, CORNELIUS, LIVINGSTON "HISTORY OF GREENE AND SULLIVAN COUNTIES, STATE OF INDIANA, FROM THE EARLIEST TIME TO THE PRESENT; TOGETHER WITH INTERESTING BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES, REMINISCENCES, NOTES, ETC."

He now owns 298 acres of good farming land, well improved. Both Mr. and Mrs. Arthur are members of the Christian Church, while he is a Democrat in politics. They are of the best people, and highly respected as citizens in the community where they live. BEECH CREEK TWP. PAG 390 JOHN W. ARTHUR, one in a family of eleven children born to John and Anna M. (Watkins) Arthur, is a native of the township and county where he now resides, his birth occurring December 16, 1850. When sixteen years old, he moved with his parents to Illinois, where he received the greater part of his educaiton, but after living there two years the family returned to Greene County. During his early life, Mr. Arthur worked at farming, but in 1872, in company with two brothers, Aaron and Nehemiah, he engaged in saw milling, at which he has since continued, although he owns a good farm of 120 acres, the greater part of which is under cultivation. The spring of 1884, he expects to move to Tennessee and make the lumber business his exclusive occupation.

In 1874, he began in the saw mill and lumbering business, and this has been his chief occupation ever since, although, he owns a well improved and fairly stocked farm of 105 acres.

On the 17th of August, 1876, Elizabeth Livingston became Mrs. Hiram D. Arthur, and to this union two children have been born, named James W. and Rosa E. In politics, Mr. Arthur casts his influence in favor of the Democratic party and as a member of this organization he favors reform in every respect.
