W. H. H. MCCLOUD, farmer, is a native of Hendricks County, Ind.,
was born February 14, 1841, and is the fourth of the ten children born
to George W. and Eunice (Bray) McCloud, natives respectively of
Virginia and North Carolina.  Our subject was reared a farmer's boy,
with but slender opportunities for education, and was thrown on his own
efforts at the age of sixteen, whereupon he worked as an engineer, and
also drove cattle for several years.  In 1861, he enlisted in Company A,
Thirty-third Indiana Volunteers, which formed for a time part of the
Army of the Ohio, and was afterward transferred to the Army of the
Cumberland.  His first experience as a soldier was at the battle of Wild
Cat, then at Richmond (when he was detailed in the artillery), Thompson's
Station, Resaca, Marietta, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek, and 
was discharged September, 1864.  March 9, 1865, he married Miss Mary
Appleby, a union by which  they became parents of eight children, three
daughters and five sons.  After marriage, Mr. McCloud engaged in
farming, and continued until March, 1879, when he moved to this county,
where he has since resided.  Mr. McCloud was one of the first to use
the thresher, and has continued the same for sixteen years;  he has also
a portable saw-mill, and his whole machine outfit is valued at $2,000.
He is a Republican, and a member of the G. A. R.
