BIOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL RECORD OF ADAMS COUNTY, INDIANA
The Lewis Publishing Company, 1887

        ROBERT NIBLICK, a prominent farmer of Kirkland Township, Adams
County, was born in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, February 10, 1824, a son of
James Niblick. He was reared to the avocation of a farmer, receiving such
education as could be obtained in the schools of that day. He was brought
to Adams County, Indiana, when eleven years old, but after the death of his
mother returned to Ohio. He was married in Kirkland Township, Adams County,
April 19, 1849, to Catherine H. Hartman, who was born in Westmoreland
County, Pennsylvania, March 22, 1830, her parents, Philip and Susannah
(Hess) Hartman, being natives of Pennsylvania. They immigrated to Adams
County, Indiana, in 1840, and settled in Kirkland Township, where they
lived till their death. Mr. Hartman was twice married and had three
children by his first marriage. By his marriage with Susannah Hess he had
eight children. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hartman are members of the Dunkard
church. Immediately after his marriage Mr. Niblick settled on his present
farm in Kirkland Township, which at that time was in a wild state, heavily
covered with timber. Their first house was a log cabin, built in the most
primitive style, greased paper being a substitute for windows, and in the
humble cabin the family lived eleven years, when the fine brick residence
which they now occupy was erected, the brick and lime used in the building
of the house being burned on their farm. After giving land to his children
Mr. Niblick still has 265 acres where he resides, and is considered one of
the prosperous farmers of his township. He was a member of Company E,
Twelfth Indiana Infantry, enlisting in the service of his country in 1865.
He was with Sherman on his march to the sea, and participated in the grand
review at Washington. He now draws a pension for disability, contracted
while in the service. He is a comrade of Post No. 69, G.A.R., at Decatur.
Mr. Niblick has held several local offices. His wife is at present
postmistress at Gath, the office being kept at their residence. For many
years after coming to Adams County Mr. Niblick was the only Republican in
his township, and at Lincoln's last election only five votes were cast in
the township. To Mr. and Mrs. Niblick have been born ten children -James
T., Susannah, Mary E. (deceased), Charles B., Margaret F., George W.,
William J. (deceased), Jennie, Harvey P. and Anna Bell. Mrs. Niblick is a
member of the United Brethren church. Mr. Niblick is a member of the Odd
Fellows order, belonging to the St. Mary's Lodge at Decatur.
