James Malone, farmer and stock-raiser, Concord Township, was born in Holmes 
County, Ohio, in 1820, a son of Elias and Catharine (Steffey) Malone, 
natives of Maryland, who moved to Ohio in an early day.  He was reared a 
farmer, remaining with his parents till manhood.  He was married Jan. 6, 
1842, to Mary Ann Eller, a native of Maryland, daughter of Jacob and 
Margaret (Grime) Eller, also early settlers of Ohio.  After his marriage he 
lived on the old homestead a short time, and then went to Knox County, Ohio, 
and rented land till the fall of 1850, when he came to De Kalb County, and 
bought eighty acres of wild land, which he has cleared of the timber and put 
under a good state of cultivation.  To this he has added till he now owns a 
good farm of 154 acres of valuable land.  He is a self-made man, being in 
limited circumstances when he came to De Kalb County, but by energy and 
industry has accumulated a good property.  In politics he is a Democrat.  
To him and his wife have been born eight children, seven of whom are living
---Henry, William, Jacob, Margaret, Sarah J., Harriet, Mary F., and Anna; 
the latter is deceased.
