HIRAM POST
Hiram Post, retired farmer, was born in
Luzerne County, Penn. September 12, 1796, and was married, October
10, 1818, to Miss Hannah Josslin, who was born in the same county
November 8, 1800. To this union were born ten children, of whom
three sons and one daughter are still living. Mr. Post lived in
Pennsylvania until 1850, when he came to this township and entered a claim of forty acres. Mr. and
Mrs. Post are probably the oldest couple living in the county, and
although he came here but with $7 in cash and a small amount of
household furniture, he has, by hard work and economy, placed
himself and family beyond the reach of want.
