NATHAN DAY is the son of JOHN and EDITH (LOWDER) DAY, who were born in North
Carolina, where they met, loved and married, and from whence, as hopeful
young pioneers they came to Indiana in the year 1820. They located at once
upon a tract of land which they entered from the Government, and which lies
about half a mile southeast from the present town of Mooresville, in Morgan
County. Here they underwent the trials and hardships incident to pioneer
life. Here their children were born; here, by their united effort and
direction, the primitive forests were reduced and replaced by broad and
fertile fields, and from here, when life was no longer fraught with
privations and anxious cares, they took their final leave of all earthly
things, and their spirits returning to Him who gave them, their bodies were
laid away to await the final resurrection morn. They were members of the
Friends' Church, and died in the sixtieth and fiftieth-fourth years of their
ages respectively. Nathan is their third son and the only one of the family
now living. He was born June 29, 1843, and has always lived upon the old
homestead which he now owns. He was married November 23, 1864, to Candace
C., daughter of Asbury Rooker, and has had born to him two children--Nellie
E. and Francis R. Mr. and Mrs. Day are members of the Friends' Church, and
he belongs to the I. O. O. F. He is a strict temperance man, and in
politics a Republican. His farm, consisting of 120 acres, is one of the
best improved and most valuable in the neighborhood.
