William T. HERR, farmer, Attica, was born in Logan township, December 1,
1847. His father, Samuel HERR, emigrated from Maryland to this place in
1843, and lived here two years; he then returned to that state, where his
wife died, and in 1847 he came again to Indiana, taking up his home a second
time in Logan township, and here he married Maria Jane TAYLOR, mother of the
subject of this notice. She had come here from Ohio in 1830. Both parents
are now dead; the father having deceased in 1851, and the mother in 1875.

and Arthur Garfield, May 9, 1880. During the years 1872, 1873 and 1874 Mr.
