JOHN McCONNELL
A resident of White County more than half a century, a veteran of the Civil war, and for many years identified with the drug business in Monticello, John McConnell has turned the seventy-fifth milestone on life's journey and is now retired, having accomplished what the world must regard as a worthy share of life's duties.
John McConnell was born in Greenfield, Highland County, Ohio, November 6, 1838. His parents were James Boyd and Sarah D. (Stewart) McConnell. Both were born also in Highland County, Ohio, the father October 10, 1813, and the mother also in the year 1813. James B. McConnell was a physician of the old school, had acquired his medical education by classical training and association with older doctors, and was regarded as an able and skillful practitioner. He moved to Cass County, Indiana, in 1852, and died there January 23, 1853. His widow survives him more than forty years, passing away January 24, 1898, at the age of eighty-five years and six days, and both are laid to rest in Logansport. They were the parents of ten children, five of whom are still living. After the death of Doctor McConnell, the family, in the fall of 1859, after two years' residence in Illinois, came to White County, and this has been the home of John McConnell ever since.
He acquired his early education in Ohio, was about fifteen years of age when he came to Indiana, and was at the beginning of his manhood career on locating in White County. From this county early in the war he entered the Union army, being mustered in at South Bend, as a member of Company G of the Seventy-third Indiana Infantry, and served three years until discharged at Indianapolis. He was captured and spent two weeks in the notorious Confederate prison at Richmond, the Libby, and the same length of time at Belle Isle in the James River. After the war Mr. McConnell came to Monticello and bought an interest in the drug business conducted by Doctor McMillen. Doctor McMillen finally sold to Mr. Prior, and some years later Mr. McConnell acquired the other interest and was in business alone until he retired about three years ago.
He has served as a member of the city council of Monticello and has been generally interested in local affairs, though never a seeker for official honors. For years he has served as elder in the Presbyterian Church and takes much interest in church work. August 2, 1871, Mr. McConnell married Martha Cowger, daughter of Jacob and Sarah (Bolton) Cowger. Mrs. McConnell's parents were pioneers in the Pike Creek community, were farmers, and people of the highest character. Mr. and Mrs. McConnell have two daughters, as follows: Abigail D., who died August 23, 1896; and Sarah Faye, who died February 7, 1908.
