HIRAM C. LINDSEY.
Hiram C. Lindsey is one of the oldest residents of Noble county, Ind., having located here in 1839, when the country was new and the comforts of modern times were unobtainable luxuries. Mr. Lindsey was born in Knox county, Ohio, March 8, 1826, and is a son of Jacob and Sarah (Craven) Lindsey. His father was born at Morrison's Cove, Penn., and his mother in the state of New Jersey. They first settled in Knox county, Ohio, where they remained until 1839, when they moved to Indiana and settled in Noble county, in the township of Green, on land which is now the home of the subject. He did not long survive the journey to Indiana, passing away in the fall of 1839. His wife returned to Ohio and resided in Morrow county, living to an advanced age. They were the parents of five children: William, Mary, Hiram C, Harriet and Elizabeth. William, the eldest son, was drowned when twenty-one years of age, about two years after the death of his father.
Hiram C. Lindsey was inured to toil from his early youth and was a valuable assistant in clearing and developing much of the land in Green township. Being compelled to rely so completely on himself, he developed a business capacity remarkable in one of his years and soon won the admiration and respect of those with whom he had dealings for his sagacity. He was almost thirty years old when he established a home, May 12, 1855, taking as his wife Miss Barbara Lock, who was born in Preble county, Ohio, July 11, 1837, daughter of John H. and Elizabeth (Link) Lock, and a sister of Jesse E. Lock, one of our prominent citizens.
John H. Lock was born January 13, 1806, in Indiana, and his wife on February 27, 1815, In Preble county, Ohio, they made their home until the fall of 1841, when Mrs. Lindsey was a lass of twelve years, at which time they moved to Noble county and settled on the farm now occupied by Jesse E. Lock in Green township. Here the father died on June 12, 1855, and the mother about 1875. There were ten children in the family : Susanna, John, Barbara, Jesse E., Mary, Benjamin, Eliza, Elizabeth, Lucina and Lydia. Mrs. Lindsey grew to womanhood and married in Green township amid the friends who had grown to love and respect her and here she has reared a family to lives of usefulness and honor.
She[Barbra (Lock) Lindsay] has brought six children into the world, four of whom, George W., Mary J., Jacob F. and Oscar W., have grown to adult years, while two have passed through the portals into the life eternal. John passed away at the age of nine years, and Nancy when a sweet bud of four.
When Mr. Lindsey was married he settled on the old homestead and has devoted his attention to agricultural pursuits, although for two years he was engaged in commercial transactions. However, it took him but a short time to see that agriculture was more suited to his requirements, and he lost no time in again taking up that pursuit, which he has since prosecuted to great advantage. He is one of the leading Democrats of his township, although he has not permitted himself to be drawn into the maelstrom of the political arena, much to the regret of his friends, who feel that they are thus deprived of a most desirable official. Mr. Lindsey and his wife have for many years been closely connected with the Christian church here, and are among its most active and influential members.[Alvord's history of Noble County, Indiana; by BF Bowen; pub. 1902].
