JOHN NAUGLE, blacksmith and wood worker, Mooresville, Ind., second son of
EMANUEL and DELINDA (REEDE) NAUGLE, natives of Pennsylvania and Virginia,
and of German and English extraction respectively; was born in Scott
County, Ind., October 25, 1832. He was reared upon a farm, and at the
common schools acquired the rudiments of an English education. On January
1, 1854, he was married at Salem, Washington County, Ind., to CHARLOTTE A.
HOGGETT, by whom he has had born to him ten children, two of whom died in
infancy, not named; the others were named as follows: JOHN ALBERT, JOSEPH
WILBURN, EDWARD EMANUEL, ALICE IRENE, LEONORA (deceased), GEORGE ELMER
(deceased), ERNEST MORTON (deceased) and ARCHIBALD T. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Naugle are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Naugle came to
Mooresville in February, 1864, and for the next five years followed
blacksmithing. Having patented a garden and field hoe, he for a few months
traveled from place to place introducing them. He next perfected other
patents, and devoted his time to them for about three years. In 1871, he
removed with his family to Center Valley in Hendricks County, and lived
there four years. He then lived seven years at Valley Mills, in Marion
County, and carried on a blacksmith and wood working shop. His shops having
been consumed by fire, he returned to Mooresville in August, 1883, and again
embarked in his old business. He now owns a nice residence property, and
the handsomest blacksmith and wood working shop combined in the county. He
employs, aside from his own labor, two skillful workmen and is rapidly
placing himself at the head of this particular branch of business in the
town of Mooresville. What he has of this world's goods he has worked for.
