        MILLER BAUM, son of JAMES and REBECCA (MILLER) BAUM, was born in
     Richland County, Ohio, November 12, 1827. (A sketch of his parents
     appears in the biographical department of Washington Township.) Owing
     to the limited advantages for education in that day, he received but a
     moderate share of learning. I n 1835, he came to this county with his
     parents, who settled on Morgan Prairie, and remained with them until
     he was past his majority.  On June 29, 1852, he was married to
     CAROLINE BILLINGS, born in Fayette County, Ind., February 11, 1832, a
     daughter of WILLIAM and ELIZABETH (HAMMER) BILLINGS, who came to
     Fayette County, Ind., at an early day, and to this county in 1834; her
     father died in 1853, but her mother is living in Carroll County, Ind.
     Mr. and Mrs. BAUM have six children - ALICE, wife of WILLIAM WOOD;
     MARION, LAURA, JOSEPHINE, MELINDA and JOHN.  Mr. BAUM has followed
     farming from boyhood, and now has 340 acres, with good improvements.
     In February, 1877, his house was destroyed by fire, which he replaced
     by a brick - one of the finest in the township.  In politics, he is a
     liberal Republican.
