One of the pioneer families of Wabash county, established in Chester township for more than three-quarters of a century, is that of Hidy, honored representatives of which are found in the persons of the late William Hidy and his son, Hallet B. Hidy, the latter of whom is still engaged in agricultural pursuits in the same township. In business life the men of this family have always been found honorable, as citizens have ever been ready to assist in the advancement of their community, in war they have been loyal to their country's flag and eager to protect it. William Hidy was born in Virginia in the year 1796, and there grew to manhood and married a Miss Yeager; by whom he had three sons who later accompanied him to Indiana. After the death of his first wife, he married Mrs. Catherine (Parrott) Wilson, and they had four sons and four daughters: Mary, who married Robert Sellers and is now deceased; Rev. David, for years a minister of the gospel; Sarah; Matilda; George; Lucinda; Anderson and Hallet B.; all of whom are deceased with the exception of the last named. After his second marriage, October 19, 1837, William Hidy migrated to Wabash county and settled on the old Simonton road, where he purchased land of a pioneer settler, John Simonton. He settled in the uncultivated wilderness, cleared his property from the timber, erected a double log house for his family and other buildings for the shelter of his stock, and throughout his life continued to be engaged in agricultural pursuits. At the time of his death, which occurred in January, 1863, he was still the owner of his original eighty acres, although he had added considerable thereto. He was a stalwart Republican and a stanch supporter of the Union, took an interest in all matters of importance and was a man of influence and prominence in his community. His second wife passed away in September, 1864, and both are at rest in the Pleasant Grove cemetery. They both died in the faith of the Christian church, of which they had been members throughout life. All of their sons fought as soldiers during the Civil war, and one son by Mr. Hidy's first marriage was first a Confederate soldier and later wore the uniform of the Union.
