JOHN HIGGINS The subject of this sketch was born near Connersville, Indiana, September 10, 1814. His parents' names were Jonathan Higgins and Margaret Shaw Higgins. Mr. Higgins was married at Thorntown, Indiana, December 23, 1839. Mrs. Higgins died September 10, 1880, and is buried in what is known as Bethel Cemetery, in Washington Township. Mrs. Higgins ( Nancy Long) was born March 6, 1821. This interesting family was among the first to settle in that part of Washington Township. Mr. Higgins at once took a great interest in his new home, and with his hands made one of the best farms in the county. And he is one of the best farmers in his township. He has served as Township Trustee, in all, near nineteen years. Was elected joint representative for the counties of Boone and Clinton in 1868, over Hon. Henery M. Marvin, which will give us an idea of his popularity. In person Mr. Higgins is large, fair complexion, light hair and good features. He belongs to the Presbyterian Church. In politics, a republican.
The following are his children's names: Mary married to William Adair, died May 19, 1864; Phebe J., died at the age of six years; Arminta B., married to Dr T. H. Harrison, resides in Lebanon, Indiana; Ollie married to Walter S. Hall, resides on home farm. In the proper place we omitted to say Mr. Higgins served as County Commissioner; first appointed to serve out the unexpected term of Newton Phillips; afterwards being elected. When canvassing for this work we were kindly cared for at his house by him and Mr. And Mrs. Hall.
