HENRY W. DALRYMPLE, of Liberty Township, was born in Preble County, Ohio, January 19, 1838, son of John and Judith (Williams) Dalrymple. The father was born in New Jersey, August 18, 1810, of German descent, and the latter was a native of Ohio and a daughter of Isaac Williams. When our subject was three years of age his parents removed to Huntington County, this State, where the father purchased a farm in the dense wilderness. Here Henry W. was reared to manhood. In his father’s family were fourteen children, nine of whom are living. Both parents were members of the Disciple church. The father died in October, 1862, at the age of fifty-two years; the mother died in 1856. Henry W. was married April 7, 1861, to Miss Hannah A. Wright, daughter of Ruel and Elizabeth (Shaw) Wright, the former a native of New Jersey, and the latter of Pennsylvania; they settled in Huntington County, this State, in an early day. Mrs. Dalrymple was born in Columbiana County, Ohio, in September, 1838, and came to Indiana when six years of age. Mr. Dalrymple purchased a part of the old homestead and resided there until September, 1874, when he removed to Wells County and purchased 120 acres of partially improved land on section 5, Liberty Township. In 1885 he sold his farm and bought his present one on section 4 of Liberty Township. The farm contains 252 acres of improved land in a high state of cultivation. Mr. and Mrs. Dalrymple are the parents of six children—Emma A., Warren M., Rosa E., Cora E., Charlcy W. and Lloyd W. Emma A. died January 10, 1863. Mr. Dalrymple was elected township assessor in 1880 and served six years. In 1886 he was elected township trustee and is the present incumbent. Himself and wife are members of the Christian church. During the late civil war he served in Company A, Thirteenth Indiana Cavalry, but after going South he was transferred to the wagon trains, and served there until the close of the war. He was honorably discharged November 18, 1865. Politically Mr. Dalrymple affiliates with the Democratic party.
