Excerpt from: Biographical Memoirs of Grant County, Indiana
Chicago, The Bowen Publishing Company, 1901.
Emanuel Pence, prominent as a citizen and farmer of Richland township, Grant county, Indiana, was born in Champaign county, Ohio, July 7, 1832, and is the son of the honored pioneer, Lewis and Savilla(Norman)Pence.
Emanuel Pence was but ten years of age when brought to Grant county by his parents, and may be classed among the young pioneers, as he assisted in clearing up the parental farms in Richland township, being brought here at the age of thirteen. He has always followed in the vocation to which he was reared.
In 1856, in Franklin township, Grant county, Mr. Pence married Mary F. Coffman, a native of Pennsylvania, and daighter of John and Margaret ( Baker) Coffman, who came from the Keystone state to Grant county in an early day and developed a farm from the wilds of Franklin township. To Mr. and Mrs. Pence have been born five children: Edward G., who died young; Milo, a resident of Converse; Mrs. Laura S. Synder, on the home farm; William S. (married)and David F. also on the parental homestead; but Mrs. Pence passed away in 1882.
In politics, Mr. Pence is a stalwart Republican, and is quite active in this work for the party. He is classed with the most prosperous agriculturists of his township, and his farm of one hundred and sixty acres in section 27, Richland township, which he cleared up from the woods,is now in a good state of cultivation and is a model of neatness and fruitfulness. Like all the rest of this pioneer family, he ranks high in the esteem of his fellow citizens.
