He then took a trip to California and Oregon, but soon returned to "Hoosierdom" and operated a saw-mill until about 1878, when he began the manufacture of tile, and still carries on that business. November 4, 1852, he wedded Martha Johnson, who died in 1861, having borne two children, one now living, Glenn (wife of William Frickie). October 1, 1862, Mr. Hogshead married his present wife, Susan Juvenall, a native of this county, born in 1834. These three children have blessed their union: Emma, Ephraim, and Mary. Mr. Hogshead is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and a Knight Templar of the Vincennes Commandery. In politics he has always been a Whig and Republican, and cast his first presidential vote for Taylor. He is a highly respected citizen, and an enterprising business man of the county. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Sep 1998 12:23:31 -0600 From: "Phyllis Hill" Subject: KFY: BIO: Keith, Jarit - Unknown Co BIO: KEITH, Jarit, s/o George H. & Abbariller (Perkins) Keith Submitted by: phill@redrock.net (Phyllis Hill) KEITH PERKINS LESTER History of Knox and Daviess Counties, Indiana Chicago: The Goodspeed Publishing Co. 1886 Daviess County, Washington Twp., page 783 JARIT KEITH, a very prominent farmer and native of Daviess County, Ind., was born January 22, 1821. He is the fourth of eleven children born to the marriage of George H. Keith and Abbariller Perkins. The father was born in Georgia in 1790, and died in 1858, and the mother born in Kentucky in 1795, and died in 1879. The father was a farmer, and came to this county as early as 1819, and was one of the first men of the county. Jarit was reared on the home farm, but only secured such education as could be obtained in the schoolhouses of pioneer times. At the age of twenty-three he began farming for himself, and two years later located near Edwardsport, where he remained one year, and then purchased land in Knox County, where he remained until the spring of 1860, and then moved to his present place--the old homestead farm. He has been very prosperous in his enterprises, and now owns over 1,600 acres, nearly all of which is very fine land. He has large barns and a commodious two-story frame residence with convenient surroundings. December 25, 1844 he was united in marriage to Rhoda Jane Lester, a native of the county. To them were born ten children, seven now living: William H., George, Isaac H., Julia A., Louis, Martha and Mary J. His wife is a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Mr. Keith is and always has been a zealous Republican, but has never aspired to office. He is a good example of the self-made man, as he started in life a poor boy, and now is one of the wealthiest land holders in the county. Besides this he has the good will and respect of all who know him. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Sep 1998 21:04:19 -0700 From: "Red (Gary L.
