We append his personal sketch. Shelby Garner, Sr., ranks among the early settlers of Washington township. He was born in Wayne county, Indiana, on Middle Fork, February 8, 1816, and is the son of Laban and Jane (Littler) Garner, both natives of North Carolina. Mr. Garner spent the first fourteen years of his life in his native county, with the exception of four years in Montgomery county, and then removed to Tippecanoe county. His next removal was to Warren county in the winter of the same year. He there cultivated a farm and that has ever since been his occupation. In 1837 he came to Iowa before the first land sale. He was at the first land sale and was the first settler in Louisa county. When he had been there ten years he returned to Indiana. After remaining in Indiana eighteen months, he started, April 16, 1848, for California. He made a stop at Salt Lake on the journey, and arrived at the gold diggings January 23, 1849. He remained there three years, and then returned to Montgomery county, Indiana, arriving there in 1852. In 1853 went to Louisa county again, and in November, 1854, he settled on his present farm, and here he has seen most of the events in the history of his township as they transpired. His farm formerly contained one thousand acres, but as he has divided a portion of it among his children and sold some, it now consists of two hundred and fifty acres. He was married in May, 1852, in Tippecanoe county, Indiana, to Miss Elizabeth Thompson, daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Taylor) Thompson, natives of Pennsylvania and Ohio, respectively. They have seven children living, whose names are—Peter, Henry, Elizabeth, Shelby, Sam W., and Sarah. Two of their children have died —Hannah and Laban. Mr. Garner has never aspired to hold office, but enjoys the confidence of his neighbors in a large degree. E. S. was married to Elizabeth Adams, daughter of John and Rebecca Adams, July 23,1837. She died August 17, 1847. Peter and Laban were sons of his first wife.
