David Henry Hollingshead, sheriff of Blackford county, Indiana, is a native of Delaware county, same state, was born March 17, 1861, and is a son of James and Anna (Rutter) Hollingshead.
The family of James Hollingshead came from Ohio and that of his wife from Virginia, but their marriage took place in Delaware county, Indiana. The father was a farmer and stock buyer, was an industrious and respectable citizen, and died in 1880, in the Methodist faith. The mother is a member of the same church and is now the wife of W. F. Reasoner, a prominent farmer of Licking township, Blackford county, she having located here eighteen years ago.
David Henry Hollingshead was the fourth of the eight children born to his parents, was educated in Delaware county and reared on his father’s farm until eighteen years of age, when he hired out by the month at farm labor, his father having passed away. This engaged his time and attention until February, 1885, when he changed his condition in life by wedding Miss Susie C. Cline, who was born in Delaware county, Indiana, September 12, 1861, and is a daughter of Henry and Mary (Peck) Cline, natives of Ohio.
February 7, 1885, Mr. Hollingshead located in Licking township on a rented farm, on which he lived until elected sheriff by the Democratic party in the fall of 1898, having made a practice of leasing ground from the time he began farming on his own account when a young man and living on one farm so leased eight years. He had served as supervisor by appointment for two years and .had rendered himself very popular, and when nominated for sheriff was elected triumphantly by a majority of one hundred and eighty-five. He now owns a handsome residence in the city, where he enjoys the society of his wife and two children, Jason B. and Elias C., and his many warm and devoted friends.
The family attend the Methodist Episcopal church, and fraternally Mr. Hollingshead is an Odd Fellow and a Knight of the Tent of Maccabees. He has proven himself to be a vigilant and competent sheriff and has landed four culprits in the penitentiary since he has held the office. He is an entirely self-made man, in the financial sense of the term, and all that he is the result of his own practical sound sense and knowledge of human nature.
