HIRAM HOGSHEAD was born in Daviess County, Ind., February 10, 1824, and is 
the third of ten children born to David and Mary (Logan) Hogshead, natives,
respectively of North Carolina and Kentucky.  They were married in Kentucky,
and came to Martin County, Ind., where the father followed agricultural
pursuits.  After a short residence in that county they came to Daviess County
and there spent the remainder of their lives.  They both died in 1879.
Subject was reared on a farm near Washington, Ind., but received limited
educational advantages.  At the age of twenty-seven he married, and began
farming and working at the cooper's trade, and continued that until 1863,
when he came to Washington, and in connection with David Solomon worked
very successfully at the cooper's trade for a short time.  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.
