In October, 1812, the father, with his children, removed to Champai gn Co., and, locating in Urbana; followed his trade-that of a blacksmith-t ill March, 1814, when he located upon a farm in Mad River Township. In t he same year, he was married to Mrs. Mary Weaver, daughter of Archibald Mc Kinley, a native of Kentucky, by whom he had seven children, five suppos ed to be living-Julian, Mary, Lucinda, Milton and Raper. Mr. Haller carri ed on blacksmithing in connection with farming during his life; he di ed in the summer of 1836, aged 64 years. Our subject was brought up to t he same trade as his father, and was married, March 31, 1825, to Miss Sara h, daughter of Ezekiel and Elizabeth (Kenton) Arrowsmith, he a native of M aryland, and she of Virginia, and a niece of Simon Kenton, of pioneer fam e; by this union they had three children, two now living-John and Benjami n; Mrs. Haller died Aug. 3, 1835. Mr. Haller married, for his second wif e, June 15, 1836, Jane Arrowsmith, a sister of his first wife; they had t wo children -Sarah Ann and Lavinia ; his second wife died Aug. 24, 1851. H is third wife, Myrtilla W., daughter oŁ Aquilla and Susanna Bishop, he mar ried Jan. 18, 1855; they had one child-William A. Mr. Haller resided in M ad River Township till 1851, then bought 200 acres of land in Urbana Towns hip and lived there eleven years, and finally removed to Salem Township, h is present locality. Mr. Haller's life has been one of labor, industry a nd usefulness, and has been crowned with success; he acquired a good compe tency; has given his children a good start in life, and has an ample suffi ciency left for himself. He has been a free supporter of schools and churc hes, and an active Christian man, having been, for some sixty years, a loc al preacher in the M. E. Church; he was converted at the age of 9 years, b efore leaving Kentucky, and, after his emigration to Ohio, at the a ge of 13 years, he joined the M. E. Church, under the labors of Rev. Robe rt W. Finley; at 19 years of age, he was licensed as an exhorter, and, thr ee years later, as a minister. He is now 79 years of age, enjoying good he alth, and without an ache or pain in his body; his remarkable health he cl aims to be due to his careful and temperate habits, having never allowed h imself to get wet by exposure to rain ; has never used intoxicating liquo rs or tobacco in any form, and never uttered an oath in his life. His reco rd is one of remarkably exemplary habits, and is a worthy example to all f uture generations, and we feel that its record here will be of value lo ng after he has passed from works to rewards.
Champaign County and Surrounding Areas, pg112 Rev. William Haller
Rev. William Haller was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church w ho spent the greater part of his life as a resident of Champaign count y. From the Urbana Citizen and Gazette the following obituary notice is t aken from the columns of that paper on Dec. 9, 1880: "Rev. William Haller, an old and highly esteemed citizen of this count y, died at his residence in Salem township Dec. 2, aged about eighty years . "The deceased was one of the early pioneers of the county, having resid ed here for some sixty-five years, and was highly appreciated by all who k new him for his honesty and integrity. In his early life he embraced a re ligious life and for sixty years was a local minister of the Methodist chu rch. For many years the deceased was a contributer to the columns of t he Citizen and Gazette." The following are some extracts from the pen of T. S. McFarland regardi ng Rev. Haller: "The subject of this sketch was bom in Mason county, Kentucky in 1801 a nd came to Champaign county with his father, John Haller, in 1812. John H aller located near the mouth of Nettle Creek where William grew to manhoo d. He joined the Methodist church under the labors of Rev. Robert Finl ey at the age of thirteen years. At the age of nineteen years, he was lic ensed as an exhorter, and three years later as a minister of the Methodi st Episcopal Church. In 1825 Rev. Haller married Sarah Arrowsnith, a dau ghter of Ezekial Arrowsmith. She died ten years later. Rev. Haller th en married his first wife's sister Jane. By the two women he became the f ather of five children. Shortly after his first marriage, he built his fi rst cabin in Mad River township, which later became the home of his son-in -law Elijah Hanna. Haller later lived on the hill just west of Urbana, b ut finally removed to his home at Kingston where he died. "He was a man of more than ordinary attainments, and always imparted his i nformation for the benefit of others. He was a modest, unassuming man a nd the people of Mad River valley are indebted to him more than any oth er man for the moral and religious element." Ms remains were laid away at his request by the side of his second wi fe in the old Talbott graveyard in Mad River valley. The graveyard is oth erwise known as '?ioneer Cemetery". Three well known ministers conducted the funeral services of Rev. Halle r. They were Rev. David Warnock, Rev. B. Gehman and Rev. G. H. Kenned y. As T. S. McFarland says, it was on account of the religious and mor al influence which Rev. Haller contributed throughout his lifetime th at I felt justified in giving him a place among the noted pioneers of Cham paign county.

History of Defiance Co, OH
John F. Haller, the eldest of the family of William and Sarah (Arrowsmith) Haller, was born in Champaign County, Ohio, March 17, 1826. Mr. Haller realizing, as all ambitious young men should in setting out in life, that it was his duty to make a living in an honorable way, with this purpose in view, concluded to look around the country, and see what the prospects were. Consequently, on the 24th day of December. 1844, he took up his line of march with $2.50 in cash, and after a three days' machreached Defiance on the 26th day of the same month with some money left. Mr. Haller makes no pretensions to being one of the first settlers, but at the same time the country was very new, and comparatively few people living here, and they had but small improvements. Wild game was plenty, of various kinds common to a new country. But as Mr. Halfer was not cut out for a hunter, he paid the business of hunting and shooting wild game very little attention. He chose, rather, to teach the young idea how to "shoot," and taught school the following winter. He also commenced to improve the farm on which he now lives. Mr. Haller followed school teaching a part of the time for five years, in connection with making improvements on his farm. Wages were low at that time; labor commanding, generally, not more than half the present prices. The first settlers of this country were very poor, as men of means don't choose to expose themselves to the hardships and privations incident to the settlement of a new country. February 13, 1851, Mr. Haller married Miss Ellen Bassett, of Paulding County, Ohio, daughter of Elias and Fanny Bassett, who were born and married in the county of Kent, England, and emigrated to this country soon after their marriage. Mrs. Bassett died at Independence, this county, at an early day. Mr. Bassett died in Iowa in 1872. Their daughter, Ellen, was born in Huron County, Ohio, October 23, 1831, and died September 20, 1874, leaving four children Sarah A., William E., Clara E. and Jesse R. November 27, 1878, Mr. Haller married, for his second wife, Mrs. Mary A. Hollon, daughter of David and Sophia House, of Oswego County, N. Y., who was born in the same county January 8, 1841. John Haller, grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was born at Haller's Gap, Penn., on the Schuylkill River. Mr. Haller emigrated West in 1796, and after exploring a part of Ohio, finally settled in Kentucky. He was of German parentage, a blacksmith by trade, and a superior workman. He was married in Kentucky, in 1797,. to Mary Allen, a native of Virginia. Mrs. Mary Allen Haller died in 1811, leaving seven children, the father of John F. Haller, mentioned above, being the second of the children. In 1812, he moved to Urbana, Ohio, and in 1815 was again married, to Mrs. Mary Weaver. By this marriage they had eight children. About the year 1833, he moved to Brunersburg, Defiance County, and settled on the farm now owned by his youngest son, H. R. Haller, where he died in 1835, aged sixty-five years. Mary (Weaver) Haller, his wife, died in 1849. There are four children yet living. Ezekiel Arrowsmith, grandfather on the mother's side of John F. Haller, the subject of the above sketch, was born near Baltimore, Md., in 1770, and emigrated to Kentucky when about twenty-three year of age, and soon after married Elizabeth Kenton, daughter of William Kenton, who was a brother of Simon Kenton, the noted Indian fighter. The Kenton family went to Kentucky at an early day, and landed where Louisville now stands. Mr. Arrowsmith moved to Ohio about 1801, and settled on Mad River, four miles west of Urbana. Their family consisted of ten children; three only are now living. Mr. Arrowsmith died in 1849, where he first settled in Ohio. His wife, Elizabeth (Kenton) Arrowsmith, died in 1866, at the advanced age of ninety years. William Haller, father of John F. Haller, was second son of John Haller, and was born in Kentucky in 1801, and was married in Champaign County, Ohio, in 1825, to Sarah Arrowsmith, daughter of Ezekiel and Elizabeth (Kenton) Arrowsmith, and who was also born in Kentucky in 1801. There were three children by this marriage--John F., Benjamin L. and Emily J. Mrs. Sarah (Arrowsmith) Haller died in 1835. Mr. William Haller married, for his second wife, Miss Jane Arrowsmith, sister of his first wife. By this marriage there were two children Sarah A. and Lavina. In 1852, Mrs. Jane (Arrowsmith) Haller died, and for his third wife Mr. William Haller married in 1856, Myrtilla Bishop. They had but one child, a son, William A. William Haller died in Champaign County, Ohio, December 2, 1880, aged about eighty years. At the time Mr. Haller moved into Defiance County, there lived in the north half of Hicksville Township Joshua Hall, -- Tannehill, Benjamin Kimball, Luther Loveland, B. Ayers, Isaac Wartenbee, D. M. Grier, Thomas McCurdy, Cass Ginter. On the Fort Wayne, Newville and Spencerville roads there were a few, and only a few, settlers, and there were but a few families living in the town of Hicksville at that time. On the south half of Milford Township were living A. W. Wilcox, --- Thompson, Harvey Hastings, Daniel Coy, C. M. Hulbert, M. J. Hulbert, William Pierce, E. Crary, D. Boyles, Peter Beerbower, E. C. Crary, Royal Hopkins and Benjamin Forlow. In the south half of Farmer Towwnship were living Jacob Conkey, Dr. Rice, David Allen, William Powell, James Fisher, Martin Johnson, James Durham, Ira Brown, John Mortimore, Nathan Farmer, L. Bronson, M. Arrow- smith, Jesse Haller, Alexander Tharp, A. Bercaw, Anthony Huber, R. M. Kells, Jared Hulbert. What is now known as Mark Township was attached to Farmer for judicial purposes at the time Mr. Haller came to the county. At that time there was a Mr. Hughes and one or two of his sons living on Sulphur Creek, on Section 13, in that township. Mr. Haller helped to get out the timber to build a house on lands then owned by Edward Bassett, which was probably about the third house built in the township.

Benjamin Lewis Hailer, a former well known citizen of this count y, died at his home in Litch-
field, Illinois, on the Fourth of July in his 82d year. He was t he last surviving child of the first
marriage of his father, the late Rev. William Hailer, who died ne ar Kings Creek, on the sec-
ond of Dec., 1880. Lewis, as he was familiarly known, was born a nd reared at the old Hailer
homestead in Madriver township a mile and a half north of Westvff le. In early life Lewis was a
school teacher and was prominent as such for a number of years, a nd until his removal west. He
was a descendant of the historic Kenton family, his grandmother b eing a member of the family of
Kentons, who settled north of Westville in 1801. Many of our citi zens of today will cail to mind
the father of Lewis who was known in his day as a man of great mo ral worth, the people of the
Madriver valley being indebted to him more than any other man f or its moral and religious
training. Lewis was an exact prototype of his father. Few men ev er lived who was more uni-
versally respected and beloved than Lewis Hailer, and but few ha ve led a more blameless life.
Quiet and unobtrusive in manner, with a mind well cultivated ma de him a useful man in any
community. Suffice it to say he was a christian gentleman whose l ife was a living epistle, read
and admired by all who knew him. His many friends in this coun ty wifi regret to learn of his
death. He taught school at old Concord in 1851 teaching the summ er term. Of the number of
scholars enroiled a number of them are still well known in the c ounty. Among these we note W.
W. Wilson, James A Kizer, D. F. Johnson, S. N. Longfellow, Mr s. H. M. Russell, of Urbana, and

ELIJAH HANNA, farmer; P. O. Westville. Mr. Hanna is not one of the olde st settlers, but has lived in Champaign Co. long enough to have a represen tation in its history. His parents, Nathan and Elsie Hanna, were nativ es of West Virginia, but the only representatives of the name here a re of the family of his elder brother, Andrew, who came to this neighborho od in 1838. He died in 1876, and his family reside on the home farm. Elij ah came from Virginia in 1850, and purchased the farm where he now reside s. His marriage to Miss Emily J. Haller was celebrated in 1851. She was bo rn and reared on the farm now owned by her husband. Her parents were rank ed among the early settlers, her father, William Haller, being born here s ixty nine years ago. His father was John Haller, whose arrival dates ba ck to the first settlements in the Mad River Valley. Discovering that h is large family could hardly be supplied with homes (as he was not very we althy), he sold his farm and emigrated to Defiance Co.. Ohio, where the re was still Government land, and all his children could be provided wi th a home. Mr. Hanna had three children by his first wife-William, Sar ah J. and Fletcher. Mrs. Hanna died in 1861, and in 1863 his marriage wi th Miss Mary Arrowsmith was celebrated. She was the daughter of Mason Arro wsmith, who died in 1879. Ezekiel Arrowsmith was her grandfather, of wh om prominent mention is made in other parts of this work. They have four c hildren-Charles, Frank, Edward and Laura. Sarah J. and Fletcher, childr en of the first marriage, are not living. Mr. Hanna came to this coun ty a poor man, and by hard work and careful management, aided somewh at by others, he purchased his first farm. Later, he has added 124 acr es of splendid land to his possessions, which was paid for by his own exer tions, and completes a valuable homestead. His reputation is second to no ne in the neighborhood, and he, together with Simeon Taylor, Lemuel Hoa h, and one or two others, have been the means of sustaining the Methodi st Episcopal Church at Westville, through a long period of depression. Thr ough their united efforts, the new church was built, which will be a monum ent to their memory for many years to come. Mr. Hanna is a prosperous, int elligent gentleman, and has done much for the society in which he lives.

(Research):Beers Bio pg 721 ISAAC NEFF, Justice of the Peace, Terra Haute. We take great pleasure in g iving Isaac Neff a front rank among the prominent men of this township, es pecially as we are indebted to him for much of the valuable information re ceived, that has helped complete this history. His memory has retained a ll that has ever been said or written about the first settlements, a nd he is able to give the dates, etc., from memory, that well agree with a uthority, both verbal and recorded. Squire Neff was born in Shenandoah Co ., Va., in 1823, and his parents, Samuel and Elizabeth (Strickler) Neff, e migrated in 1830, to Mad River Township, and purchased his first farm o ne mile east of Terre Haute. Five children-Isaac (our subject), Mary, Pete r, David and Abram Neff were born in Virginia. Isaac, the eldest, we nt to school three years, between the ages of 4 and 7, and could read, wri te, and had progressed some in mathematics; this was the basis of his educ ation. His father's family was composed of eighteen children, be having h ad three wives and three families of children. By the first wife, the fi ve previously mentioned were born in Virginia, and John, Henry G., Jose ph and Jacob in Ohio. The death of Mrs. Neff occurred March 23, 1840, ag ed 39 years. His marriage to Rachel Romick was celebrated in October, 184 0, by whom he had four children-Michael, Barbara A., Samuel R. and Dani el W. Their married life was of rather short duration, the death of Mrs. R achel Neff occurring in 1845. With his large family of small children, M r. Neff was obliged to have mother to care for them, and he was married t he third time, to Rachel Landaher. They were parents of Aaron, Caroline (i nfant daughter), Jonas and Emma. The most surprising circumstance is tha t, of this large family of eighteen children, whose circumstances in li fe have been so varied, only three are dead. Mrs. Neff died December, 186 3, and his death occurred in 1865. He had lived to see a family reared, t he number of which exceeded any other in the township, and the vast chan ge in the topographical character of the country was beyond his most sangu ine expectations. He was an honest, industrious man, respected by all ; f or twenty years a member of the M. E. Church, Township Trustee for twen ty years, and was elected Justice of the Peace, but declined and would n ot receive his commission. Isaac, our subject, commenced attending schoo l, in the winter season only, in 1833, and continued until he was 17 yea rs of age, at which time his right ankle was injured by a fall from a col t. Luckily for him, he had education enough to conduct a common school, an d, in 1842, he began teaching in his home district, and for twenty consecu tive years he was one of our practical teachers. During this time, he beca me engaged to and married Miss Hester A. Darnall, in 1848. She was bo rn on the spot where Mr. Neff now resides. They were the parents of Melvil le M., Emma E., Mary M., John J. and Samuel S. Of these, there were thr ee teachers, while both the wife and husband were also practical teacher s. Mr. Neff was elected Township Clerk in 1851, and has served for thir ty consecutive years ; has not, during that time, missed an election, a me eting of the Board of Trustees, or other meeting, when required byl aw to be present. In 1853, he was elected Township Assessor; in 1854, Just ice of the Peace, in which capacity he has served nine terms. Squire Ne ff has settled more estates in Clark and Champaign Counties than any oth er man in them, and the satisfactory manner in which this has been done, h as given him a record for honor and fairness that will ever be a sour ce of pride to his descendants. He was elected District Land Assessor in 1 859, 1870 and 1880. His capacity for business is equal to that of any m an in the township, and everything undertaken has proved his correctnes s. His wife died Dec. 13, 1875, aged 49 years. His marriage to his seco nd wife, Miss Amanda Darnall, occurred Jane 1, 1876. The first wife w as a daughter of Nathan Darnall, and the second, of James Darnall, cousin s. They both were daughters of prominent men. Squire Neff prides himself u pon his record as a man, an official and an exponent of Democratic princip les. His residence is one mile west of Terre Haute, near which he has se en three schoolhouses built, the first a log, the second a frame, and t he last a brick, thus showing the progressive age in which he lives.
