Narrative

[Article "Harmon Kaylor," from the History of Huntington County, Indiana (1887), p588.]

HARMON KAYLOR, a citizen of Clear Creek Township, was born in Stark County, Ohio, October 3, 1843. He was the second of ten children born to Jacob and Magdalena (Stump) Kaylor, with whom he came to the county when he was ten years old. His youth was spent upon his father's farm. In December, 1862, he entered the service of the Union Army, in Company A, One Hundred and Thirty-First Regiment, Thirteenth Indiana Cavalry, with which he served until the close of the war. He participated in the battles of Murfreesboro, Tenn., and Mobile, Ala., and in both he discharged his duties becoming a loyal soldier. On returning from the war he worked for a short time at the carpenter trade, but in the fall of 1866, he began to learn the trade of blacksmith. This was finished in due time, and has received his attention ever since. Since February, 1881, he has conducted a first-class blacksmith and wagon-making shop, in the village of Goblesville. His marriage to Eliza Forst occurred May 12, 1867. She was born in Warren Township, this county, February 22, 1849, and was the daughter of Samuel and Eliza (Miller) Forst, the former a native of Ohio, and the latter a native of Germany. Their marriage has resulted in the birth of seven children, as follows: Clemet [sic] F., born February 9, 1868; Mary E., born January 16, 1871, died July 23, 1872; William E., born May 25, 1873; Samuel A., born May 3, 1876; Clara V., born October 18, 1878; Emma A., born December 5, 1880, and Bertha M., born June 11, 1883. Mr. and Mrs. Kaylor are members of the United Brethren Church. The former is a member of the G.A.R., and independent in politics. He is an industrious workman, and a skillful mechanic. In April, 1870, Mr. and Mrs. Kaylor moved to Buchanan, Mich., and four years later they removed to Berrian Springs, Mich. A few months later they removed to Stevensville, of that State, where they resided until January, 1876. They returned to West Point, in this county, where they resided about five years. They then moved to their present home.
