PHILIP PAUL was born at West Liberty, W. Va., May 21, 1816, and is a son of 
John and Keziah (Mills) Paul.  John Paul moved his family to Cincinnati, and
thence to Brookville, Ind., in 1821, where he soon after purchased 160 acres.
He also purchased land on White River bluffs, whither he went alone, fell a
victim to fever, was brought home and died.  After this event, Mrs. Paul
removed to the land on the bluffs.  Philip Paul remained with his mother until
her death, after which his brother and he lived on the homestead with one
sister, both brothers being unmarried. The family suffered many privations in
that new locality, which will ever be remembered. Our subject united with the
Methodist Episcopal Church at a camp-meeting in 1846, and has been a consistent
adherent of that faith.  He is an honored citizen, a genial gentleman and a
Democrat politically.
