(Witness) Bio

Worth Templeton, trustee of Black Township and native of Posey County, Ind, was born April 4, 1857, son of Gilbert. M. Templeton and Martha Jane (Holland) Templeton, natives of Posey County. The father was a farmer by occupation, and was raised and married and brought up his family in this county. He was a son of Thomas Templeton, one of the old pioneer settlers of the place, who came to Indiana from Virginia on the day of the battle of New Orleans. Our subject's father died when he was three years old, and he was then taken by his aunt, Mrs. James McGillton, with whom he lived until he was ten years old, and then to live with a cousin, Gilbert Templeton. He remained with him until he was fifteen years old, and then worked as a farm laborer during the summer months and attended school during the winters, thus securing a fair education. When twenty-one years old he began farming for himself, but afterward sold his farm for town property. In 1884 he was elected to his present office. He is a Democrat in politics, but was elected to office rather as an independent, and was styled the tax-payers candidate. June 10, 1879, he married Sally Barter, a native of county. They became the parents of two children, one deceased and one living named Archie. Mr. Templeton is a member the A.O.U.W. and K. of P. fraternities. He is a well known and respected citizen and a good officer.²
