Son of J. & S.Ulery. This bio is on his family.

"Solomon Ulrey's parents were Jacob and Susan (Ulrey) Ulrey, the former of whom was born near Dayton, Ohio, November 1, 1809, and the latter in the Buckeye state, April 13, 1811. They were married in the Buckeye state and in 1832 immigrated to Clinton county, Indiana, entering the land which the son now occupies in that year. In 1833 Jacob Ulrey built a house on the farm and spent the winter in a cabin which had no floor. He erected practically all of the buildings on the farm, but in late years these have been replaced by others. He owned at one time about three hundred and twenty acres, most of which he cleared before his death. He died on July 10, 1882, and his wife died on December 21, 1872. Both were members of the Brethren church. Jacob Ulrey was a stanch Republican.

Jacob and Susan Ulrey were the parents of ten children: Esther, born on January 19, 1832, in Ohio, married Samuel Foutz and both are now deceased; John, March 1, 1835, in Carroll county, is deceased; Catherine, November 19, 1837, is the widow of Daniel Metzger, of Clay township; Hannah, March 30, 1840, married Leonard Wagoner and lives in Clay township; Jacob I., March 20, 1842, lives in Troy, Montana; Susan, January 1, 1844, was first married to David Simmons and, after his death, to John Root, who is now deceased, and she resided in Shawnee, Oklahoma, with her children until her death on October 30, 1915; Samuel, June 22, 1846, is deceased; Stephen, August 1, 1848, is deceased; Barbara, November 27, 1849, is the wife of Benjamin Reppert, of Clay township, and Solomon, the subject of this sketch.

Solomon Ulrey was educated in the district schools of Carroll county and lived at home with his parents until April, 1879, when he was married to Susan Ulrey, the daughter of John and Esther (Shively) Ulrey, who were born near Dayton, Ohio. Mrs. Ulrey's parents moved to Carroll county about the same time as her husband's parents. She has borne her husband three children, Albert Ervin, who was born on February 20, 1880, and lives at home; Ida Isabella, July 13, 1881, and died in infancy, and Lula Ellen, August 17, 1883, and married John W. Root, of Tippecanoe county.

Mr. Ulrey owns one hundred and seventy-one acres of land, all of which is well improved, a part of the tract entered in 1832 by his father. Not long ago he built a commodious house and a substantial barn on the farm to replace those erected by his father. Until the last year or two Mr. Ulrey has been heavily engaged in the cattle business.

A Republican in politics, Mr. Ulrey is a member of the Brethren church, as is also his wife and family. One would have to go very far to find a citizen of Clay township who is more highly respected than Solomon Ulrey; to find a man who has done more for the agricultural progress and prosperity of this section than he. He has a host of friends in Clay township and is well known throughout Carroll county.
