Hiram S. Higgins, the subject of this sketch, was born in Kentucky, April 24, 1820. He is the son of James Higgins, from Bourbon Co. Ky.; came to this county in 1836; was formerly a cooper, but is a farmer and stock-raiser at present. He has superior facilities for raising stock. In his wood pasture there is a pool 12 feet long by 6 feet wide and 6 feet deep, which flows freely the year round and never has been known to freeze over. He helped organize Company I of the 103d Ill. Inf. during the Rebellion; went into camp, but returned on recruiting commission. Has held the office of School Trustee ten years; has also been Town Clerk and Road Commissioner. He married Elizabeth Baughman Feb. 15, 1844, by whom he has 9 children. Mrs. B. is a member of the Christian Church. P. O., Smithfield. (History of Fulton County, C. C.
