Biography

Benjamin Scalf, Jr, was born on 26 February 1814 in Rowan County, North Carolina, USA. He and Eleanoe Narcissus Thomas were married on 24 September 1835 in Union County, Indiana, USA. He died on 14 July 1889 at age 75 in Elkhart County, Indiana, USA.

Benjamin Scalf [Jr.] was born in Rowan county, N.C., Feb. 26, 1814, and comes of a family noted for their longevity; his father, Benjamin Scalf, was born May 10, 1764, and died at the residence of his son, the subject of this sketch, in Millersburg, on March 8, 1870, thus reaching the patriarchal age of 105 years and 10 months. Mr. Scalf's mother was Celia Keziah, also a native of North Carolina. Young Benjamin was taken by his parents to Washington county, Tenn., in 1823, where he received a common-school education, and worked at farming until about 17 years of age, when, in 1832, he emigrated to Union county, Ind., and was married Sept. 24, to Eleanor Narcissa Thomas, the daughter of Samuel Thomas, an old resident of Virginia. Their 5 children are: William Lewis, born in 1836, now a prominent citizen of Millersburg; Samuel A., born in 1837, a farmer by occupation, now residing in Michigan;; Caroline; Phoebe died in infancy; Francis Marion, born June 23, 1841, and died Nov. 1, 1868; Henry B., born Feb. 11, 1844, now engaged in business in Goshen. Mr. Scalf located permanently in this tp. in 1838, where he commenced the business of boot and shoe maker, being the only one engaged in that line of trade in Millersburg for a great many years. He has many incidents to relate of early pioneer life, and makes mention of seeing the Indians making maple sugar on sec. 16. Himself and wife are both members of the M.E. Church, and he is strictly Democratic in politics. In business he has been successful.
