Medearis, one of the prominent citizens of Center township, was born near Economy, in this county, Sept. 17, 1848, son of John Fletcher and Caroline (Abrahams) Medearis. The father was born in North Carolina, Nov. 16, 1809, and the mother near Centerville, in Wayne county, Indiana, in 1818. The father was always a farmer by occupation, although he taught school for a time in early manhood. He also served as township trustee for several years. He came to Indiana when about twenty years old and first located near Centerville, where he purchased a tract of land, located south of the village. A little later he sold this tract and then owned different farms successively until 1848, when he purchased the farm where he resided until a few years prior to his death, which occurred at Green's Fork, Nov. 16, 1909, at the age of 100 years, and on the evening of his one hundredth anniversary. The family and friends to the number of perhaps 300 had gathered for the celebration, when his sudden death turned the assemblage into one of mourning. During the Civil war he conducted a general store, the post office, and a shoe shop at Olive Hill. Thirteen children were born to him and his good wife: Mary Adeline is deceased; Martha Ann is the wife of Allen Cotton, of Indianapolis; William A. served through the war in the Eighth Indiana infantry, as a private, and died in Richmond in 1911; Sarah C. is the wife of Joseph T.

Ohio; Luella is the wife of Dewitt Russell, a farmer of Center township; Lizzie is the wife of Lafayette Jackson, of Centerville; and Fannie is deceased. Daniel B. Medearis enjoyed the educational advantages of the public schools at Olive Hill. and when he had completed his years of minority rented a part of his father's farm, which he operated two years. He then rented another farm in Center township one year, and then leased the farm which he now owns for a period of about ten years. He then purchased this farm, which consists of eighty acres, and upon it has erected a handsome and commodious residence and has one of the best equipped farms in the township. In his political relations Mr. Medearis is a Republican, and he and his wife and children are members of the Methodist Episcopal church.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Kem were born in Center township, the latter in 1829, and the father was a few years her senior. They were married in Center township and there lived out their lives.
