*** his brother Abraham ...

Abraham Collett was born in Baltimore County, Md, October 3, 1815, the son of Aaron and Elizabeth (Dorsey) Collett, natives of the same State.

The mother died in 1833, and the father, for a second wife, married Chloe Miller.

To the first marriage there were born eight children, and to the second there was one.

In 1835, the father and family moved to Montgomery County, Ohio, and four years later to Wabash County, Ind., where the father died in 1873 and the mother in 1879. The father had served in the war of 1812, and he and family were highly respected.

Our subject was reared on the home farm till twenty-two, when he went to work for himself, by the day, month or job, carefully saving his earnings.

September 17, 1840, he married Miss Catherine Ramsey, who was born in Washington County, Md, February 10, 1819, and to this union were born three children — James, Aaron and Angeline. James, the only one now living, was born in Wabash County, Ind, November 12, 1841, and, December 25, 1865, married Miss Susan Moore, who was born in this county November 16, 1843, and to this couple five children have been born, viz : Lizzie B, Ada C and Lulu, living; and Charley and an infant, deceased.

James Collett enlisted in the fall of 1861 in Company E, Forty-fourth Indiana Volunteer Infantry; served till the close of the war, and saw much active service ; he now resides on a farm in the township, an honored and respected citizen.

In 1842, our subject settled on Section 18, this township, and engaged in farming and stock-raising till 1865, when he removed just over the county line into Jackson Township, Kosciusko County, where he still resides. At the time of his marriage he had saved enough of his earnings to purchase 160 acres unimproved land, which he has increased to 300 acres, and, besides this, has given his son a good farm.

He is a self-made man, but has been ably assisted by his good wife, who is a woman of ability and good sense. He has always followed farming, with the exception of eight years passed in Collamer in mercantile pursuits.

He is a Republican in politics, and he and wife are members of the Christian Church.
