        JOHN BAUM was born in Crawford County, Penn., January 20, 1810; he
     was brought by his parents to Stark County, Ohio, and thence to St.
     Joseph County, Mich., where on the 15th of August, 1835, he was
     married to MYRUM GALLGHER, a native of Culpepper County, Va., where
     she was born January 1, 1814.  This union was blessed with five
     children - CHRISTOPHER C. (deceased), AMERICUS (deceased), NAPOLEON,
     TENNESSEE M. and NILES L.  Shortly after his marriage, he moved to
     Porter County, Ind., and settled in Morgan Township, Section 4, on the
     farm on which he now lives; he is one of the pioneers of this county,
     and has made many improvements since coming here, having built the
     first schoolhouse erected in the township; he came here as a poor boy,
     but now owns 426 acres of land, all through the exercise of industry
     and the practice of economy.
