        THOMAS D. DULING, JR., son of Thomas D. Duling, Sr., was born in
Fairmount Township October 22, 1849. His paternal grandparents were Edmund
and Mary (Dean) Duling, and his maternal grandparents were William and Anna
(Shryock) Meskimen. Thomas D. Jr., was educated in the common schools of
Fairmount Township, one of his teachers being William H.H. Reeder,
frequently mentioned as a highly efficient teacher of the pioneer period.
Mr. Duling has lived his entire life in his native Township. He owns a
splendid farm of eighty acres, and has served as director, part of the time
as treasurer of the Barren Creek Gas Company, which he helped to organize
and became one of the first stockholders. In politics he identified himself
with the Republican party when he attained his majority, later joining the
Prohibitionists. He is an active and influential member of the Methodist
Protestant Church at Fowlerton. On February 13, 1875, he was married to
Miss Laney Ellen Dean, born in Owen County, Indiana, July 29, 1850. Mrs.
Duling died December 25, 1900. Mr. and Mrs. Duling were the parents of
three children, namely: Melissa H., now the wife of Milton A. Rich; Sina
Emily, wife of Lowery Glass and Barbara L., who died February 27, 1891,
aged about five years. Mr. Duling remembers many of the pioneers who have
been mentioned in this story, and has lived his entire life in Fairmount
Township.
