Individual Details
Daniel R. Freeman
(26 Jun 1827 - 28 Aug 1908)
Daniel Ransom Freeman, who for over half a century has been identified with the history of this county, died at his home Friday night about midnight from acute indigestion. He was sick only a short time. His age was 81 years 7 months 22 days. Funeral services were held at the Star City M. E. church Sunday, conducted by Elder David Dilling of Pipe Creek, White county. Interment followed in the Star City cemetery, where the first wife of the deceased was buried in the 1897. He was born in Pleasant township, Marion county, Ohio, four miles from Marion, January 6, 1827. In 1848 he was married to Nancy Biggerstaff. To this union eight children were born: Friend B., Asa Ransom, Phoebe (Bowsher), Fred E., Noah H., Delilah (Zellers), William M. and Anthony. All of these except Ransom, who died a few years ago, survive him, and they all attended the funeral. M. Free also left 28 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Three brothers, Noah R. of Winamac, Fred of Prospect, Ohio, and Martin of Cowley county, Kans., also survive.
Mr. Freeman came to Pulaski county in 1855, and settled on a farm where the town of Ripley now is. From there they moved to a farm southwest of town. He was absent from this county for ten years at Union City, but returned after his residence there to the farm near Winamac. His wife died in 1897, and later in that year he was married to Electa Morgan, who survives him. He joined the Dunkard church in 1864, and was ordained a preacher in 1870, and for many years he was a well known figure in evangelical circles in this part of the state. He was always strong and had remarkable health, but in 1893 he fell and nearly broke his back and twisted some of his joints so that in his latter years cause a stoop. His was one of the most familiar faces on the streets of Winamac, and will be missed by the many friends who knew and respected him. (Winamac Republican, Thu Sep 3, 1908)
DANIEL RANSOM FREEMAN.
One of the pioneers of Pulaski county whom it is a genuine pleasure to
meet is he of whom the following lines are written. He is an entertaining
conversationalist and relates many interesting stories of the early days in this
locality. Like all of the heroic souls who are the forerunners of prosperity
and civilization, his life has been devoted to labor of the most arduous kind,
while his recompense is seemingly small in proportion to the efforts he has
put forth. His posterity, and his fellow-men in general, however, are reaping
the rich rewards and are profiting by the sacrifices which he has made;
and this generation and many to come will regard him with gratitude.
Family tradition says that the Freemans originated in England, three
brothers of the name coming to America together, one, the ancestor of Daniel R. , locating in Massachusetts. Many members of this family have been noted for exceptional size, some attaining the height of six feet and four inches " in their stockings. " The grandfather of our subject, Daniel Horr
Freeman, lived and died in the Bay state. He was a farmer and also followed
shoemaking. Of his children the names of Truman, Sylvia and Asa
are remembered; but Asa was the only one who came to the west.
Asa Freeman, father of our subject, was born December 19, 1792, on
his parents' homestead near Seekonk plains, Massachusetts. After his marriage he removed to New York state, and thence with his family and brother in-law, William Bates, went to Darby Plains, Union county, Ohio. Mr.
Bates remained there, but Mr. Freeman proceeded within a short time to
Marion county, Ohio, and there carried on an eighty-acre farm, which he pur-
chased. In the fall of 1854 his sons Daniel R. and Frederick came to Pulaski
county, Indiana, where they entered three eighty-acre tracts of land for the
father, and a quarter-section apiece for themselves, and all of this property
was afterward improved by them. The entire Freeman household were desirous of making a permanent settlement here, and in the early part of 1855 Daniel R. Freeman was sent to secure a habitation. He made a bargain with Perry Campbell for his quarter-section farm, on section 21, Monroe township, paying down one hundred dollars in gold, and at the time that the rest of the family arrived, the remainder of the price, eleven hundred and fifty dollars in cash, was paid to Mr. Campbell. A log house and stable stood on the place, fifteen acres were under cultivation, and twenty-five acres had been fenced.
The father, who, as may be judged, was a man of excellent business ability, and fairly well off for those days, seemed to the poor people of this locality quite a magnate, for, besides paying cash for his farm, he drove through v.'ith eight horses, two wagons and a carriage, shipping his household goods and farming tools by train. He later sold the two hundred and forty acres of state land previously mentioned, but remained on the old Campbell farm until his death, October 2, 1876.
While a resident of Ohio he served as a magistrate, and throughout his life he was a stanch ally of the Democratic party. He was a man of large physique, sometimes weighing as much as two hundred and eighty pounds. All local enterprises found a sincere friend in him, and the local Christian church had no more loved and valued member for many years.
The first wife of Asa Freeman was a Miss Lucy Bates, a native of Massachusetts.
Their daughter Lucy died in childhood, and their son William,
born in 1820, was killed by the cars, in Ohio, in 1862. He had been married

fifty-four years.
Her father, Douglas Farnum, came from one of the early
Vermont families, and in 1822 he removed to Marion county, Ohio, where
he was subsequently killed by a falling tree.
The eldest child of Asa and Harriet Freeman was named in honor of his
maternal grandfather, Douglas Farnum. He was born in Marion county,
November 5, 1825, and is now a farmer of Hardin county, same state. He

daughter of Rudolph Hoch. She was born December 13, 1843, and died
February 22, 1892. They were married August 19, 1860, and their first
child, Eli Grafton, was born May 12, 1861. He married Johanna, daughter
of Peter Guss, and has six children, namely: Daisy, L. G. , Ruby, Ethel,
Elsie and Noah. He is now a resident of Whitfield county, Georgia. Douglas
Franklin, born September 10, 1862, died April 25, 1864. Frank, born
March 20, 1864, married Etta Riggles and is the father of four children,
Mabel, Ella, Otto and Claude. He is a constable and a general mechanic
and workman of Winamac. Hattie, born February 24, 1866, married William
Mellott, a teacher, and resides at Marion, Indiana. Their children are
three in number: Ralph, Edna and Frederick. Ruby, born February 15,
1868, is a merchant in Landess, Indiana. His wife was formerly Ruth Beardsley, and their children are Carrie and Jessie. Hardy, born January 16,
1870, died October 4, 1870. Lu, born September; 24, 1871, enlisted in Troop
I, Third United States Cavalry, during the late Spanish-American war, and
at the battle of San Juan Hill was severely wounded. It was believed that
he would not recover, but the brave young hero has now regained much of
his former health and strength.

Rosy, born February 9, 1875, was married toFred E. Lukins, at Alexandria, Indiana, June 23, 1897.

Daniel Ransom Freeman was born January 6, 1827, in Marion township,
Marion county, Ohio, but four miles from the town of the same name. He
was reared to agricultural pursuits and has been an intelligent, successful
tiller of the soil. As previously stated, he was instrumental in getting his
father and other members of the family safely and comfortably located in
this county nearly forty-five years ago. He planted a crop on his father's
farm the first thing after his arrival here, in the spring of 1855, and then settled upon his own quarter-section, which was situated on section 28, Franklin township. He built a small house on the state land he had entered and paid for in gold, and dwelt therein until 1867. That year he disposed of his own property and went to live upon his father's farm, which was his home for almost a score of years.
In the fall of 1886 he removed to Union City, Indiana, where he made his home and engaged in carpentering and building for five years or more. In 1891 he settled on a farm of his own, on section 23, Van Buren township, remaining there until the spring of 1898, when he located upon another farm of similar proportions-eighty acres-the latter being on section 15 of the same township. His son, Anthony, now leases this farm from him, and since May, 1898, Mr. Freeman has lived in Winamac.
He has owned several farms, on which he has made substantial
improvements, and now, in the evening of life, he is enjoying a well-earned
rest.
One of the leading interests in the life of Mr. Freeman has been the
church and religion. He was baptized near Winamac by the Rev. John
Barnhart, October 16, 1863, and since that time has been a pillar in the
Dunkard church, serving in various offices and supporting it by his influence
and generous contributions. He was the first speaker in this district on
behalf of this denomination, and is looked up to as an authority among the
brethren.
On the nth of June, 1847, Mr. Freeman and Nancy Ann, daughter of
Friend and Phoebe Biggerstaff, were united in marriage, in Marion county,
Ohio, and for almost half a century they pursued the journey of life together.
Mrs. Freeman was born March 28, 1824, in Ohio, and died February 12,
1898, and was placed to rest in the cemetery at Star City. The eldest child
of our subject and wife, Friend Biggerstaff, born August 16, 1848, is engaged
