MANUEL B. DRISKELL, a native of Brown Township, where he now lives, was
born March 16, 1840, the seventh child in a family of eleven children born
to Robert and Catherine (Beck) Driskell, who were natives respectively of
Kentucky and Tennessee.  The father came to this State in company with his
parents in the year 1810, and they were the first persons to erect a
log-cabin in what is now Brown Township.  He was twice robbed by the
Indians, they taking six horses.  His birth occurred December 21, 1803,
and his wife's, mother of Manuel, October 17, 1807.  Manuel remained at
home with his parents on the farm until he attained the age of
twenty-three, having in that time received a good education in the Salem
High School.  April 16, 1863, his marriage with Nancy J. Hopper was
solemnized, and to their union seven children have been born, these six
now living:  Silven M., Franklin L., Elmer W., Laura E., Leora M. and
Lawrence C., all at home with their parents.  Mr. Driskell's occupation
has been farming and teaching in the public schools, at both of which he
has been a success.  He now owns 100 acres of well improved and cultivated
land.  Both he and his wife are members of the Christian Church, and are
liberal supporters of that institution.  He is a member of the Blue Lodge
in Masonry, and a Democrat in politics.
