Adam Blin is of German descent, and was born in Warren County, Ohio, on the 25th of March, 1832. His parents, George Blin and Susannah (Kisling) Blin, were also natives of Ohio. In 1853, on the 13th day October, the subject of this sketch was joined in marriage to Miss M. J. Miltonberger. Two years later, in 1855 they emigrated to Cass County, Ind. In 1862, after a happy union of nine years, blessed by the birth of one child (at present the wife of Nathaniel Wild) Mr. Blin had the misfortune to lose his wife by death. January 28, 1864, he was again married, this time to Miss H. J. High, a resident of Cass County, a union which has resulted in seven children. Soon after his second marriage, Mr. Blin removed to a point near the center of Madison Township, Carroll County, and took up his residence on the farm which he still owns and resides upon. In 1866, he was elected Trustee of Madison Township, and faithfully and capably serving the first term, he was re-elected in 1868, occupying the position, in all, five years.
Mr. Blin and his wife are members of the united Brethren Church. In politics, he is a Democrat, but, to use his own apt expression, in his political opinions he is not "high bound." He has always followed the laudable vocation of farming, owning today a body of the choicest land in the country, numbering 321 acres.
Mr. Blin is a man of sobriety and industry. By the simple force of his upright conduct, he exerts in his neighborhood a wide moral influence. Toward his family he has always exhibited the utmost kindness and devotion. Without pretentiousness, he is at the same time a respected and worthy citizen.
