Harvey C. SANGER was born in Washington Co., N.Y., May 22, 1815 and is the youngest of nine children born to Adin and Elizabeth (NILES) SANGER, both natives of Connecticut. Adin SANGER was a tinner and coppersmith, which trade he followed in Connecticut several years, and where he was married. About 1800, he removed to Washington Co., NY, then almost a wilderness, and followed his trade about twenty-four years. In 1824, he moved to Ontario County, N. Y., where he bought a farm and pursued agriculture until his death, in October, 1829. Harvey C. SANGER acquired a limited common school education, and afterward worked on his father's farm until he was twenty-three years old. In 1838, the family sold the homestead, and Harvey and his mother and two brothers moved to Cedar Creek Township, Lake County, Ind., where each entered eighty acres. Harvey built a log cabin and made other improvements, on a portion of which he still resides, but has added thereto until the same embraces ninety acres. Mr. SANGER was one of the Nimrods of the frontier; his rifle was his companion, and in his hands was certain death to game. For several years during the winter he hunted with the Indians on the Kankakee Marsh. Mrs. Elizabeth SANGER lived with our subject until her death, May 28, 1855; she was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. On April 20, 1840, he was married to Sarah A. BRYANT, a native of Wyandot County, Ohio, and daughter of Samuel D. and Mary (ROSS) BRYANT. To this union were born seven children, four of whom survive. Mrs. SANGER died May 29, 1855; she was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. SANGER's second marriage, on June 26, 1856, was to Mrs. Nancy SWANEY, a nataive of Decatur County, Ind., and daughter of Cooper and Harriet (GRIFFIN) Brooks. By this union they had two children, a son and a daughter. Mr. SANGER is a member of the Lowell Lodge, No. 245, I. O. O. F., a Republican, and an old settler and prominent farmer.
