Joseph Tomes, a farmer, was born in Dearborn County, Ind., August 17, 1815, being the youngest of two children born to Conrad and Rachel (Bridges) Tomes, natives of Pennsylvania.
The early boyhood days of our subject were spent in his native county, attending school in winter and farming in summer. Subsequently, the family removed to Decatur County, Ind., where our subject worked at cabinet making in addition to farming, and six years later, learned the brick mason?s trade, which he continued eighteen years, and then came to Rush County.
About 1843, he purchased the farm where he now resides, and which at that time contained 200 acres. To this he added at various times until he owned 1,017 acres, which expecting 132 acres, he has given to his children.
Mr. Tomes was married in 1837 to Miss Mary Small, born February 20, 1818, daughter of John and Nancy (Foster) Small, natives respectively of Germany and Kentucky. To this union were born ten children, viz.: John F., born March 30, 1840; James W., born April 7, 1842; George W., born February 10, 1844; Milan P., born October 16, 1846; Lucinda F., born January 21, 1850; Joseph H., born April 28, 1852; Manerva F., born February 6, 1855; and Harriet J., born June 15, 1858; James W. died March 23, 1876, leaving a wife and four children.
Mr. Tomes is a Republican, and he and wife are members of the Christian Church.
