CALEB A. PRITCHARD, a teacher in this township, was born on February
9, 1862, in Putnam County, Ind., and is the eldest of three children born to
Greenbury and Margaret J. (Buis) Pritchard, both natives of this State, and
of English and German extraction respectively.  The father was born in Owen
County, and his father moved to Morgan County in an early day.  Greenbury,
the father of our subject, moved to Illinois in the year 1862, and in the fall of
1864 he enlisted in Company F, Eleventh Illinois Infantry, remaining in the 
service until the close of the war.  He took part in the engagements of Fort
Blakely and Spanish Fort, which lasted fourteen days and nights;  also in 
numerous skirmishes.  He received his discharge at Baton Rouge, La.  The
subject of this sketch was reared on a farm, and received a good education.
He attended three terms at the Central Normal School at Danville, Ind., and 
two terms at the State University at Bloomington, Ind.  He began teaching at
the age of fifteen, and has taught seven terms very successfully.  Mr. Pritch-
ard has not really decided what profession  he will follow, other than that in
which he is engaged.  He has a fine collection of books on miscellaneous
subjects.  In politics, he is an energetic, stanch Democrat.
