HENRY H. HUFF. A prominent and prosperous citizen of Wells County, and one of the foremost agriculturists of Jackson Township, Henry H. Huff holds a position of note among the sturdy, energetic and successful farmers who have a thorough knowledge of the vocation they are following, and are carrying it on with both profit and pleasure. His valuable farm is well ditched, and with its substantial improvements is recognized as one of the most attractive and desirable estates in the township. A son of John Huff, he was born February 13, 1858, in Grant County, Indiana.

Born and reared in Guernsey County, Ohio, John Huff came to Indiana when young, locating in Grant County. When ready to begin life for himself he bought land in Van Buren Township, and was there employed in general farming throughout his remaining years. He married Mary Zuck, who was born in Pennsylvania and is now living in Grant County, Indiana. Eleven children were born into their household, as follows: Elizabeth, wife of Noah Pence; William, deceased, served one or more terms as trustee of Van Buren Township; Hiram A. of Landersville, Indiana; Sarah, wife of William Sala, of Dundee, Indiana; Henry H., of whom we write; Mary J., wife of Henry Losure of Van Buren; John M., a barber at Marion, Indiana; Emma, wife of Robert Pilkington of Van Buren; Charles C., now teaching in Van Buren, has taught school for thirty-four years, and is widely known as an educator; Etta, widow of David Cronin; and Homer, a former resident of Oklahoma, but now in Iowa.

Until seven years old, Henry H. Huff lived on the home farm, lying two miles west and one mile south of Van Buren, but he afterward lived in the vicinity of Landersville, and was educated in the district schools. At the age of twenty-one years he began the struggle of life on his own account as a farmer in Van Buren Township, where he continued for twenty-four years. Coming then to Jackson Township, Wells County, Mr. Huff bought his present farm of 160 acres, and in the substantial improvements that he has since made takes much pride. His land is under a high state of culture, and owing to the sound judgment and persistent energy with which he has managed it is now one of the most valuable and desirable pieces of property in the neighborhood, his buildings being of a substantial character, and his residence the finest in its appointments of any in the township.

On May 28, 1883, Mr. Huff married Eura E. Love, a native of Washington Township, Grant County, Indiana. Of the seven children born of their union, five are living, namely: Ned L., a graduate of the Van Buren High School, and of the Marion Normal College, married Goldia Bugh, and is now on the home farm; Jessie, a graduate of the Van Buren High School, is wife of Henry Jones; Dema a graduate of the high school and of Muncie Normal College, and a former high school teacher, married Robert Lambert, superintendent of the public schools in Reynolds, Indiana; Pauline and Chester, at home. Mr. and Mrs. Huff are members of the Church of Christ, at Warren. In his political relations, Mr. Huff is a democrat, and while in Van Buren served as justice of the peace. Fraternally he is a member of Van Buren Lodge No. 633, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and of Marion Lodge, Knights of the Maccabees.
