ADAM SYPHERS, retired farmer, residing on section 17 of Blue Creek Township, is a native of West Virginia, the date of his birth being January 15, 1822, a son of William and Mary E. (Kibler) Syphers, native of Maryland, and of German descent. They reared a family of six children, of whom only three are now living - Jacob, a resident of Iowa; George W., living in Delaware County, Indiana, and Adam, whose name heads this sketch. He was reared on the home farm until reaching the age of sixteen years, when he came to Ceylon, Adams County, Indiana, and engaged in mercantile pursuits for a time. He was married in Adams County in 1847 to Millie Moore, who was born in Carroll County, Ohio, November 4, 1847 [sic], a daughter of Jacob and Abigail Moore. Of the four children born to Mr. and Mrs. Syphers three are living - Lorinda, Joseph and Mattie. A son name Ephraim is deceased. Lorinda married Bernard Harris, of Michigan, and they are the parents of four children - Zulu, Nero, Gertie and Edward. Joseph is a resident of Hartsburgh, in Putnam County, Ohio. Mattie married Samuel Whitman, of Decatur, Indiana and has two children named Tracy and Franklin A. Mr. Syphers had but limited educational advantages in his youth, attending the subscription schools of that early day when his services were not required on the farm. He began life for himself a poor boy, but by persevering industry and economy he has succeeded in life. He is now the owner of 128 acres of choice land, located in Blue Creek Township, thirty-two acres being on section 17 and ninety-six acres on section 18. In politics Mr. Syphers casts his suffrage with the Democratic party. He has held township offices, serving as supervisor and constable. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and his wife, in her religious faith, is a Presbyterian. Their postoffice is Willshire, Ohio.
The marriage date and birth date of Millie Moore Syphers are both 1847 in the book, clearly not possible. Do not know her correct birth year.
