When John and Oliver Logan left Rush County for Wabash County in 1856 with their wives, moving in a four-horse wagon, John and Mary had their first four children with them, Charlotte being a very young baby. The brothers bought farms two miles apart, near LaFontaine. Here they spent the rest of their lives. They are buried in a cemetery half way between the two farms.
Maltha Badger, their youngest daughter, remembers how, at the age of five, she wondered why her mother wore her sunbonnet indoors while cooking supper. Then she saw her mother was crying. She had just heard of the death of Elias Poston, her father, and Rush County was very far away in those days of primitive roads. Some days later the little girl saw big wagons drive in loaded with furniture and other belongings of Elias Poston.
