David Harshbarger, farmer and graded stock raiser, Ladoga, is a son of Mr. Samuel and Elizabeth MYERS) Harshbarger, who came to this township from Virginia with their family in 1837, though he came here in 1831, and entered land in Secs. 34 and 35, T. 17, R. 4 W, on his farm. Here he lived, and reared a thrifty and industrious family, and died at the honorable old age of seventy-two years. Mrs. Harshbarger died in 1850. David was born in Scott township, on the old farm, and in the same house where he now lives, February 4, 1842, and was reared to a farmer's life. January 27, 1870, he married Miss Sarah A., daughter of William F. and Mary A. HOSTETTER) DAVIDSON. She was born in Union township, Montgomery County, Indiana, July 30, 1845. They have three children: Clara A., Saloma B. and Cora E. He is now actively engaged in farming and stock raising, and has for the last few years turned his attention to the breeding and raising of graded short-horns, and is feeding yearly about a car load of fine export steers. In fact, his stock farm and house (which is a fine brick) reflect great credit on their proprietor. He is a democrat, as was also his father, though he was always opposed to slavery, and for that reason left Virginia and come to the free state of Indiana. ROSEBRIAR@EARTHLINK.NET Thank you Mr. to
