William MOUNT, retired, Crawfordsville, was born in Kentucky on March 12, 1798 and settled in Montgomery County in 1823. Then the country was almost an unbroken, wild, woody wilderness. According to his recollection there were but two houses in Crawfordsville when he came here. He has always been a farmer. He moved to his present residence, in the Eastern suburbs of the city in 1849, since which time he has farmed but little. He was married, the first time in 1826 and the second time, in 1878 to Mrs. SC COOPER. She is a member of the First Presbyterian church. Mr. Mount cast his first vote for Andrew Jackson. He votes with the democrats for president and is independent in county politics. - typed by kbz
