Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 2 September 1898
Silas Hiatt and wife, of Darlington, celebrated their golden wedding Wednesday, Aug. 24. Mr. Hiatt was born in 1823 on the Allen farm northeast of this city and was married to Elvira Booher August 24, 1848. It is stated that Mr. Hiatt was the first male white child born in Montgomery County but he is mistaken in this as a son was born to Wm Offield and wife immediately after their settlement here in 1821. Mr. Hiatt and his wife have lived a life of great honor and usefulness and in their declining years are serene and happy. Wm Hiatt, of this city, is one of their children.
