Blanche, Ira N. and Mary.  Two other children died in infancy.  Mr. 
Logan taught school from 1861 until 1883.  On the death of his father, 
in 1878, he purchased his present farm from the estate, remodeling the 
dwelling, building a new barn, etc., and then rented it until 1882, 
when he occupied it himself, combining farming with school-teaching.  
In 1884 he was elected county auditor, which position he now holds.  He 
and his wife are communicants of Salem Methodist Episcopal Church.  Mr. 
Logan is still a young man, with every prospect of a useful and 
honorable career before him, and is universally esteemed.  He will 
fill, with credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituents, any 
position to which he may be chosen.  In politics he is a Democrat.
