Anthony Gearhart
Anthony Gearhart, a son of the above [Lewis M. Gearhart], was born in Miami County in 1831. Came with his father’s family to Shelby County in 1840. The farm on which they moved was nearly all in the woods, and boys at that day who were old enough to work had but little time for school. It was here that young Gearhart received his education, by attending school a few weeks in the winter season until he was sixteen years of age, when his school privileges closed. He continued to work for his father on the farm till 1856, when he married Miss Elizabeth Burditt, by whom he has had two children, Marella J. and George L. Mr. Gearhart is located on section 24, Perry Township.
