David GARN, to establish a home in the wilds and to cope with the many privations and hardships incident to a life on the frontier.

He journeyed in a wagon from his native commonwealth of Ohio, and arriving in Union township, Marshall county, he purchased eighty acres of land, to which he later added another eighty-acre tract, and he cleared and improved his land.

At the commencement of his life here he erected a little cabin home, which continued as his residence during many subsequent years, and in the meantime he added to his land until he was the owner of nearly a section.

After a time Mr. GARN returned to his Ohio home for his bride, and the young couple took their wedding journey in a wagon to the husband's new home in Marshall county. They passed through the many trials and hardships which were the inevitable concomitants of a pioneer's life, and the names and deeds of these brave frontiersmen should be held in reverence by those who enjoy the fruits of their toil.

During the later years of his life Mr. GARN moved to West township and purchased a farm of 160 acres," which became the homestead of his son Samuel, "and there he passed to his final reward at the age of sixty-six years." He was a member of the Evangelical Church, There were five children, four sons and one daughter, all born in Union Township. The GARN settlement was in the far northwest corner of the township.
