        WILLIAM M. DULING, son of Thomas D. and Nancy (Meskimen) Duling, is
a native of Coshocton County, Ohio, where he was born on May 22, 1837. He
came with his parents to Fairmount Township in 1845. He was educated in the
common schools of Coshocton County, Ohio, and Grant County, Indiana, being
a pupil at different times of William H. H. Reeder, George W. Bowers and
Columbus Lay. Mr. Duling has all his life been engaged in agricultural
pursuits and has been quite successful. In politics he first affiliated
with the Republican party, later identifying himself with the
Prohibitionists. He has been for many years a prominent member of the
Methodist Protestant Church. During the Civil War he served from 1864 to
1865 as a private with Company I of the Seventy-ninth Indiana Volunteers.
On September 3, 1862, he was married to Miss Matilda J. Wilson, born in
Jefferson Township, June 30, 1844. She was the daughter of John M. and Mary
Ann (Lucas) Wilson, early settlers in Grant County. Mr. and Mrs. Duling are
the parents of seven children, namely: Mary, John M., Flora L., Frank, Eva,
Oliver and Effie, all living. They have sixteen grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren. Much of the information appearing in this story
regarding the Lake Galatia neighborhood was supplied by, or has been
verified by Mr. Duling, who is still hale and hearty, though eighty years old.
