Hugh T. Rinehart
Hugh T. Rinehart was born in Virginia in 1813. In 1833 he married Julia Godfrey, and came to Union township in 1836, and settled on the place where he still lives. The family numbered ten children, five of whom are still living. Mr. B. has cleared and improved his land by his own labor, for by his industry the land still held, and that given to his children, numbers 908 acres; all the result of personal effort, except a capital of $800. He was one of the first commissioners of the county; was a justice of the peace 12 years, and a member of the State Board of Equalization. He has now retired from active duty.
