He was born in Kentucky on the 6th day of March 1827, and at the time of his death was 88 years, 9 months, and 7 days old. In the same year of his birth he was carried by his parents to a farm in Putnam County, Indiana. He was the son of March and Nancy Homan. His mother Nancy Homan (nee Burson) died in 1839 and his father in 1874. On the 28th day of February 1856, the subject of this sketch was married to Miss Caroline B. Ramsey, who survives him, in Park County, Indiana, and the same spring, he and his wife moved to Adams County, Iowa, and engaged in farming on the unbroken prairie, about ten miles north of Corning, where they lived and operated their farm, and raised of family of boys and girls, and prospered and increased their real estate holdings from 128 acres to about 335 acres. They remained on the farm until 1901, when they purchased a home in the town of Prescott, in Adams County, where they resided at the time of Mr. Homan's death as above stated. They were the parents of 11 children, all born in this county; Mrs. Laura Chance, Mrs. Sarah Cooper (deceased), Horace G. Homan, James W. Homan of Adams County, Albert Homan of Roswell, New Mexico, Henry Homan of Grand Junction, Colorado, Oscar Homan of Adams County, Mrs. Dora Heinlen, of Mexico, Missouri, and three children who died in infancy. Among his descendants are 21 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by two brothers and one sister, Jesse Homan Sr., of this county, George W. Homan and Mrs. Rachel Denton, both of White Clay, Nebraska. In his youth, Mr. Homan attended the common schools of Indiana, and worked on the farm of his father, and at about the age of 20 years, he took a two years course in Wabash College at Crawfordville, Indiana. After moving to this county, he taught school, served the school interest as county superintendent, and was elected and served one term in the state legislature. After moving to Prescott he sold out his real estate to his children and ceased to labor, seeking the rest and comforts , and the joys of old age. He and his aged wife lived the simple life of the middle class, being ministered to by the happy children who survive him, and in the love, respect, and confidence of all who knew them. He was a man of sterling integrity, opposing what he deemed to be wrong, and working earnestly for the right, independent in thought and action, in every good cause, it was impossible to bribe him to do what he thought was wrong, and he never attempted to swerve any one from the right, either by word of deed. He was a devoted and active Christian, and was never ashamed to speak for, and to show by his life that he was a follower of the Christ. He had been living in the joys of the service of his savior for many years. He is gone, and has laid down the weapons of peaceful warfare; but his words do follow him, and the influence of his life will last long in the hearts of many for good. The funeral services were held at the First Baptist Church, Washington Township, conducted by Rev. A. K. Lewis. Interment near by. Adams County Free Press, December 21, 1910, page 3
