PETER M. CHASTAIN, a prominent and well-to-do farmer of Vernon Township,
was born December 21, 1844, being the next youngest of a family of nine
children born to Peter G. and Martha (Cunningham) Chastain.  His ancestors
were natives of Kentucky, from which State Peter G. emigrated to Indiana
about 1814, and the mother about 1820.  The former was of French and the
latter of Irish descent.  Mr. Chastain had very good facilities for
getting an education in those early times, and succeeded in gaining a good
practical education.  He remained home with his parents until he attained
his eighteenth year.  On the 5th day of December, 1861, his marriage with
Rachel A. Maudlin was solemnized, and to their union have been born five
children, all living:  William G., who married Clara J. Voyles; Martha E.
(unmarried), Mary M., who married Andrew M. Voyles, Cyrus L. P. and
Benjamin F., unmarried.  He is a member in good standing in the Christian
Church and contributed liberally to all church and charitable causes.  In
politics he is a stanch Democrat, and takes a lively interest in the
political questions of the day.  By occupation he is a farmer and
stock-raiser, in which chosen vocations he has made a decided success.
