========================

REV. PERRY T. MACY, a wealthy and influential farmer and stock grower, was born in Randolph County, Ind., August 19, 1825, and there lived upon the farm with his parents, William and Hannah (Hinshaw) Macy, until he was twenty-three years old. His parents, who were na­tives of North Carolina, and descended from the English and Irish respectively, had thirteen children (seven sons and six daughters), of whom our subject was the ninth, with five older brothers.

The subscrip­tion schools supplied the source of his education, which was limited to elementary studies. Though he continued to reside in his native county until the spring of 1856.

He was married in Morgan County September 14, 1848, to Charity, daughter of Henry Mills. She bore him four children, three of whom, Albert W., Charles L. and Ida Ellen, were liv­ing at her death, which occurred December 27, 1863.

On August 26, 1869, he married in Dallas County, Iowa, Rebecca Hadley, daughter of George Bowles, and has had born to him two children, Oliver P. and Vernon D.

Rev. Macy has been many years regular recorded minister of the Friends Church, and since moving to Morgan County he has owned and occupied the farm upon which he now resides, about one mile west of Mooresville.

From 1860 to 1872, he was superintendent of the business department of the Mooresville High School, and for two years, 1873-74, was proprietor of the Mooresville Enterprise, a weekly paper now known as the Moores­ville Monitor. His son, Albert, W., is at this writing (December, 1883) the talented editor of the Richmond (Ind.) Palladium. Our subject is well supplied with this world's goods, nearly all of which have been ac­quired by his own industry.
