AARON L. WILHITE is a native of Oldham County, Ky., was born June 16, 1824,
and is a son of Lamech and Mary (Koebler) Wilhite, natives of Virginia, who moved
first to Kentucky, and later, in 1836, to Indiana, where they settled on a tract of Gov-
ernment land in this township; thence they moved to Monrovia, where they closed
their lives--he at about seventy-four, and she at about seventy-nine years of age--
and they had a family of seven sons and seven daughters. Aaron worked for his
father and attended school until he reached the age of twenty-two. November 19,
1846, in Hendricks County, he married Rebecca Wiltz, which union was cemented
by five children--Alexander, Sarah (deceased), Mattie, Elnora and Lafayette. Mr.
Wilhite is agreeably located on a fine farm, comprising ninety-nine acres, culti-
vated and improved. He is a liberal, charitable man, a strong temperance advocate,
a practical farmer and an honored citizen. One of his sons and one of his daughters
hold positions as teachers. He and wife are communicants of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, of which Mr. Wilhite is a Steward.
