It is said in this colony were 24 brothers, sisters and children. One bright morning they hitched five horses to ■ each wagon and started for their western home, camping each night :on the banks of some creek or river ’for water. They finally came to the banks of the Elkhart river near Fair I Lawn. On the 28th day of February ; 1836, the water in the river was a: flood stage. So they camped here for a week or 10 days. Before they could cross over to their farms, all covered with heavy ; timber, they at once went to work building cabins, clearing lands. This work and raising of crops took up their time the balance of the year. During the first years of their residence here, their families were supplied with fresh meat by the use of 'their guns, bear, deer, wolves, turk»eys, prairie chicken, wild geese, ducks and squirrels of many |tinds. Deer were so plenty the snow would be trampled near their cabins where trees had ’been cut down. The deers came to eat the fine twigs. T he writer often saw Adam Whitehead. Sr. He was a short, heavy set, j stout man. He cleared and lived on this farm 44 years. He died Jan. 17, 1880. He was buried on the round hill top in the Whitehead cemetery. ■ We was the grandfather of over 180 I grandchildren. , UJvCLE LEW.
