He was the first settler on the prairie between Hiawatha and Walnut Creek, and has resided on the same farm ever since, which he has improved until he now has one of the finest places in the county. He has a fine grove of forest trees of his own planting, also a fine orchard containing 250 choice fruit trees, all bearing, and his farm is surrounded by a beautiful hedge fence. Mr. W. was born in Logan County, Ohio, January 16, 1826, and was married in Indiana in 1859 to Miss Emily Evens. They have three children, viz.: Delpha M., Rachael C., and Grant C.
