Milton Tomlinson. For fifty-six years a resident of Washington Township, Hamilton County, and a prominent citizen of his locality, Mr. Tomlinson has devolted himself to the occupation of an agriculturist, in which he has attained well mertied success. In the evening of his life he still resides upon the old homestea, is enjoying a well earned rest. His parents, Robert and Lydia (Kellum) Tomlinson, were borth born in North Carolina. The paternal grandfather, William Tomlinson, a native of Ireland, emigrated to this country in the latter part of the eighteenth century, and settled in Guilford County, N.C. while the Indians were abiding there in large numbers. His wife, Martha (Kopick) Tomlinson was captured by the Indians and rescued sometime before her marriage.
The grandfather, a saddler by trade, was a man of ablility and enterprise, and was financially prospered. Four of his sons, Joseph, Robert, Josiah, and Allen, survived to reach mature years. The grandmother was well educated and a consistent member of the Friends' Church, as was the grandfather. A close observer and a man of broad intelligence, William Tomlinson tood an active interest in the political affairs of his adopted country, and was an ardent Whig. He lived far beyond the allotted years of man, and survived to witness the close of the struggle for independence and the sure foundation of our present national properity.
Robert Tomlinson remained with his mother until about twenty-six years of age, when he married Lydia Kellum. Unto the union of the parents were born nine children. Milton, our subject, was the eldest; then follow, Martha, Noah, Allen, Jessie (Deceased), Asenath, Jane, Levi and Esther. The mother recieved the benefit of a common-school education, and was a valued member of the Friends Church. She died deeply mourned, at about the age of seventy-three years. The father, also fairly well educated, and a man of business ability, came to Washington Township, Ind., in the spring of 1837, and buying two hundred acres of land near where our subject now resides entered with zeal into its' cultization, and remained upon the farm until his death, at the age of eighty-three years. He was a devout member of the Friends Church. Politically a Republican he was an influential man and a local leader of the party.
When beginning life for himself, our subject received a gift of forty acres, a part of the valuable homstead where he now resides. To the original farm he has added as he has been prospered, and now owns two hundred and thiry-five acres of finely cultivated land, well improved with attractive and commodious buildings, dwelliings, barns, and granary. Shortly after attaining his majority, Mr. Tomlinson was united in marriage with Miss Hannah, daughter of John and Mary (Barker) Davis, natives of North Carolina. Unto his union was born one child, Abigail, the wife of Cyrus Carey. Some time after the death of his first wife, our subject a second time entered martricmonial bonds, wedding Miss Delilah, daughter of Solomon and Esther (Haines) Hiatt, of North Carolian.The pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Tomlinson was blessed by the birth of eleven sons and daughters, seven of who passed away in infancy. The four who lived to adult age are, Keziah, Ellen, Violetta, and A.J. all married and prospering. The first wife of our subject was a member of the Friends Church as is all the present Mrs. Tomlinson who is widely known as an active aid in good work and benevolent enterprise. Mr. Tomlinson is a strong Republican, and although living a retired life and seventy-three years of age, takes a deep interest in both local and national issues. A liberal-spirited citizen, he is ever willing to contrbute his share in all matters of mutual welfare.
