To this couple were born eleven children only four of whom survive. Upon coming to Indiana father and mother Onstott settled in Wabash county among the Indians where he was one of the organizers of Perry township of that county when, at the first township election each voter was elected to an office. In 1840 they united with the Baptist church at Niconza where they were active members until they came to Fulton county in 1891 when they changed their membership to the Ebenezer church. In 1874 mother Onstott died and two years later the subject of this sketch married Nancy REID and moved near Rochester, where he united with the Baptist church of that city, in which he died a faithful member. Father Onstott's life was one of much interest. He was the son of a Revolutionary soldier who fought all through the war which gave our blessed country its liberty. He knew by the roughest kind of experience what a frontier existence meant. He was one of the celebrated Fortyniners who stampeded to California but failed to "strike it rich." He helped to develop this section of Indiana from a wilderness to the garden spot of the west. But he is gone, after a long life, to his reward -- the reward which awaits the righteous. The funeral service was conducted Sunday at Ebenezer church by Elder A. J. CROY, after which his remains were lowered to a grave in Odd Fellows cemetery beside that of his first wife. -- A Grandson.
