THOMAS N. MATHERS, auctioneer and farmer, is a native of Bourbon County,
Ky., where he was born August 23, 1819, one of a family of six children
born to James and Jane (Ardrey) Mathers, who came to Orange County, Ind.,
in the year 1840.  Our subject received a very meager education in the
subscription schools of his time.  He has a wide reputation over the
country and adjoining territory as an auctioneer, and as a farmer he has
been very successful, owning a farm of 241 acres of improved land
(Orangeville Township).  He is an active political worker, using his
influence in the advocacy of the principles of the Republican party, by
whom he has been elected to the office of Township Trustee for five terms,
and was their nominee for County Treasurer, failing in election in
consequence of their minority, but succeeding in reducing his opponent's
majority.  January 20, [no year] he married Lean Ham, who has born him
eight children, five of whom are now living:  Laura, wife of James A.
Jenkins; James W., Lizzie, consort of George W. Faucett; Amanda C., wife
of John T. Laswell, and Theophilus P.  Himself and wife are members of the
Christian Church.
