| Logan Starr has been a resident of Washington County since 1838, at which date his father removed to
this county from Lawrence County, where our subject was born March 6, 1822. He was one of
nine children in the family of Phillip and Elizabeth (Fry) Starr, both natives of North Carolina,
from which State they removed after their marriage, to Clark County, Ind. After residing there for
a time they removed to Lawrence County.
Logan Starr received a practical education in the common school. He remained at home until twenty-one years of age, when he bought the farm now owned by J. W. Coffey. After four years he bought thirty-five acres where he now resides and to which he has added, until he now has 237 acres upon which he has built one of the best houses in the township. He also owns 100 acres on Buffalo Creek. Mr. Starr was married in August, 1851, to Martha A. Neely, a native of Washington County, and a daughter of William B. and Judith (Poole) Neely. Four children have been born to them, three of whom--Albert M., Robert M. and Norman E.--are living. Alice E. died at age of twenty. Politically Mr. Starr is a stanch Democrat, and one of the prominent farmers of the township.
