General Notes: Husband - Henry H. Baughman


He was born and reared on the old family homestead, assisting in the work of the farm from an early age. After the father's death the place was occupied by three of the family until 1858, when Henry H. purchased the interest of the other heirs, and also bought fifty acres of the Philips lands. This property he rented for a number of years to Mr. Kephart, and in 1887 sold the same to Good & Brisbin, of Osceola, who operated the coal interests on the place. In 1845, Mr. Baughman had purchased 193 acres of heavily-timbered land in Woodward township, and extensively engaged in lumbering. He rafted the square timber down the river for a number of years, after which he sold the timber and turned his attention to agricultural pursuits. He had more than one hundred acres of land, and in 1850 erected a log cabin, which he made his home until 1886, when he replaced it with a handsome two-story frame residence. In 1869 he built a fine, large barn, and at different times erected three barns, one on the Baughman farm in Decatur township, and two on the old homestead, occupied by his sons, Jeffries and Stacy.
In politics, Mr. Baughman was a stalwart Democrat, and was honored with several offices. He served for fifteen years as school director, was overseer of the poor and assessor, and was twice elected justice of the peace, but did not qualify.
