CHARLES BLANCHARD, EDITOR. CHICAGO: F. A. BATTEY & CO. PUBLISHERS. 1884. F. A. BATTEY. F. W. TEPPLE JACKSON TOWNSHIP AND MORGANTOWN, MORGAN CO., IN. PAGE 246 SAMUEL T. ADAMS, farmer and stock-raiser, is a native of this township, was born May 19, 1848, and is the fourth of the eight children of Henry and Nancy (Slusser) Adams. Samuel T. Adams received a common school education, and was reared to the venerable business of farming. He worked for his parents until he was twenty-five years of age, at which period he began life on his own account, his father presenting him with eighty acres of good land, on which he has erected buildings and added other improvements, making a good home and a desirable property. May 25, 1873, he married Miss Jemima Kephart, a native of Owen County, and to which union five children have been bestowed--Nancy O., deceased; William H.; Charity J., deceased; Ida M., deceased; and an infant unnamed. Mr. Adams is an energetic Democrat, a rational and charitable gentleman, and a prosperous farmer and stock breeder. Mr. and Mrs. Adams are highly respected members of their community. JOSEPH ADAMS, stock-raiser and farmer, is a native of this township, was born March 22, 1852, and is the eighth of the twelve children of Henry and Nancy (Slusser) Adams, the former a native of Kentucky, the latter of Virginia, and of English and German extraction respectively. Joseph Adams was reared to the farming profession, and received a fair education. He is the owner of eighty acres of good land; his father--who is now residing with him in his age--having given to each of his children some assistance. Recently Mr. Adams has added forty acres to the paternal gift, making a valuable property and a desirable home. He is a Democrat by political preference, and a liberal and regarded citizen. Thus far he has been successful in the battle for independence, and, with his good management and bright foresight he must become one of the prosperous farmers of his section. ************************************** USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genealogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities as long as this message remains on all copied material.
