Mrs. Harper died December 3, 1867, and Mr. Harper, February 19, 1870, was marriedto Miss Sarah J. Willis. They

eleven years, when he moved to Howard County. He located on his farm when it was in its native state, building
a log cabin and clearing his land. He now has a finely cultivated farm well improved, with fine residence and good
barn. He has held some of the minor offices of the township. He was formerly a Whig, but since the organization
of the Republican party he has voted that ticket.
