These Sketches 'Will be Carefully and Accurately Written up, and Will Prove to be Interesting Reading for all.

Sketch 1.—Joseph Wynne, Vernon Township.

We are pleased to give a brief history of our old friend and patron, Joseph Wynne of near Alfonte, Madison county, but living in Vernon township this county. It was reported a short time ago, that the last son of a revolutionary soldier was dead. Such is not the case, for Mr. Wynne is a living denial of the statement. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1809, making him at the present writing in his eightythird year. Coming from a family of soldiers, he could not be other than a true patriot, always revering the stars and stripes. His father fought in the revolution in^I77o. Mr. Wynne had three brothers in the war of 1812, and two sons and a son-in-law in the rebellion. One of the sons never returned, as his life was given for his country. Having emigrated to Indiana, he was married to Miriam Jarrett in 1836. To them five children were born. They located at his present' place of residence at the time of their marriage in a log cabin, and have lived there ever since. His home at first wa«j in Madison county. Perhaps no one can say what Mr. Wynne can, that he has lived in two counties and never moved, as what is now Hancock and Madison, was then Madison with Pendleton as the county^ seat. Mr. Wynne's first wife died after being his faithful, pioneer helpmate for twelve years. In due course of time he was married to Miss Mary H. Likens, a sister of our old friend Peter Likens. She has shared his joys and sorrows for 42 years, five children being the fruit of this union. Aunt Mary, as she is called, has raised five step-children, fivePcSildren and two grand-children, "besides feeding the hungry and clothing the poor," which shows her life to be one of busy usefulness. She is now sixty-nine years old.

Mr. Wynne voted for W. H. Harrison two times for President, and the las& time had the satisfaction of seeing him elected. During his long life the Republican party has had no more zealous* worker than Mr. Wynne. He advocated its nrinciples at its birth. Although feeble in body his mental faculties are unimpaired, and his idea of the promulgation of his party's principles means an intense interest in the leading questions of the day and a full, direct and courageous expression of opinion. He hag been a strictly temperate man all his life, which accounts for his vigorous and unimpaired faculties. He has been a. member of the Christian church an ordinary lifetime, and it is a great pleasure to him to see all his sons and daughter? safely under the protecting influence of the church. As he has been a profitable servant the Lord has prospered him much, and he can now view with pleasure his green fields and pastures well stocked, with herds of sheep and cattle—the result of his economy, industry and prudence. He has always possessed a kind, benevolent heart, and to preserve kindness and benevolence during a long life of busy care without suffering them to touch this internal treasure is divine. They who persevere and so go on to the end are the true elect. And we feel that when the summons comes to the subject of this sketch, it will be "it is enough come up higher." He will go like one who "wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams."
