JOHN BRAND, one of the leading agriculturists of Sheffield Township, is a native of Tippecanoe County, Indiana, born on the land where he now resides, April 16, 1841, whose father, SAMUEL BRAND was a prominent early settler of the county. JOHN BRAND was reared to the vocation of a farmer, his youth being spent in working on the old homestead, and his education was received in the common schools of the county, attending his first term of school in the old house where he was born. He was married February 7, 1867, to MISS SARAH CAMPMAN, a native of Pennsylvania, and a daughter of LEWIS F. and MARIA (MOYER) CAMPMAN, her mother dying when she was a babe. MR. and MRS. BRAND are the parents of six children--ALVEN S., born October 28, 1867; SYLVESTER, December 20, 1868; LILLIE ALLEN, March 9, 1870; KATE ANN, January 31, 1872; GUY ORLANDO, October 17, 1876; and MAY SUSAN, March 2, 1879.
MR. BRAND has spent his life on the farm where he now resides, owning 160 acres of the old homestead, besides which he owns the HENRY BURKHALTER farm, which contains 155 acres, making in all 315 acres of choice land, well improved and under a high state of cultivation. His residence and farm buildings are comfortable and commodious, and all the surroundings betoken care and enterprise. A large windmill furnishes the motive power for supplying water in abundance for both house and livestock. In connection with his farming pursuits, MR. BRAND also operates a sawmill on his farm, sawing the native lumber, and carries on quite an extensive business in this line. In politics MR. BRAND is a Republican, but never aspires to public notoriety. He is a member of the German Reformed church, and is also his wife, and he is numbered both socially and financially among the substantial men of the county.
