OLD CITIZEN DIES; UREMIC POISONING

Jefferson Eberhart Passes Away At Home

Jefferson
Eberhart, one of the wealthiest and
oldest residents of this county, died at his home in West Hendricks street this morning at 7 o'clock of uremic
poisoning, after a lingering illness of four weeks. Mr. Eberhart made a success of life from the start.
He started with nothing and at the time of his death was the owner of nine hundred acres of the finest land in
the county, located in Jackson township, and before his death he also divided six hundred acres between his children,
making a grand total of 1,500 acres which he had accumulated through toil. Mr. Eberhart always had faith in land
and every cent he earned went into land. After his marriage he rented twenty-eight acres of land and at the end
of a year purchased it. This was his start as one of the largest land owners in this county. Mr. Eberhart made
it a point in all of his dealings to steer clear of two things--interest and mortgages. Also he went into all of
his business deals by himself, as then he said he could do as he pleased, and if he lost the responsibility and
the blame were his. When Mr. Eberhart began farming in this county, the county was full of wild animals which now
are but a memory. Indians, hunting for new camping grounds were also occasional visitors to this part of the country
then. Jefferson Eberhart was born in Warren county, Ohio, November 22, 1832, and while yet a babe his parents moved
to this county, his father, John Eberhart, walking here and staking out a home in the wilderness.
Mr. Eberhart was married to Miss Mary
Ann Hill, of Jackson township, in
March, 1852. When married the young people started life with no other possessions than a horse and lots of courage,
and with these two things they succeeded. The highest price paid for land by Mr. Eberhart was $105 an acre at the
close of the civil war, when he purchased 130 acres, but this was soon made up by the high prices that were at
that time being paid for the produce of the farm.Friday, November 15, 1912
