The above is from "Counties of Morgan, Monroe and Brown, IN". Note: Joseph lost an eye. ----------------------- Two of Joseph's children were among the students hurt in the Bartlett schoolhouse disaster at La Center on 9 Jan 1880. An article in the Vancouver "Independent" of 12 Jan 1880 named only one of the children, Clara Gaither. A tree three feet in diameter fell on the school, which contained 24 people. It took the lives of Alexander and Olive Bartlett and injured all but one of the other students. Clara was seven years old at the time. She suffered scarring of the face and the loss of a tooth. Joseph Gaither may have been related to Otis Harrell, also injured in the incident. Both were born in Clear Creek Township, Monroe Co IN.
