Newton Co., IN Bio

Newton County, Iroquois Township.  From A History of Warren, Benton, 
Jasper & Newton Counties, 1883.

   JOHN DUNLAP, merchant at Julian, was born in Cincinnati in 1850,
where he lived until ten years of age, when he removed with his parents
to Bartholomew County, Indiana, where his mother died; his father died
in Newton County in 1878.
   John Dunlap remained on the home farm until he was nineteen.  He 
then went to Newton County, where he worked by the month for Dr.
Caldwell, and in l871 married Miss Grettie, daughter of William A. 
Crisler, a native of Bartholomew County.  Mr. Crisler opened the 
first store at Pilot Grove.  
   Mr. Dunlap is Justice of the Peace, and as such he has served since
1880.  He was formerly located at Salem for six years, and came to 
his present location in March, 1883, where he has the only store in the
place.  He carries a stock of $2,000, and will be grateful for continued
confidence and patronage.  The post office is connected with his store.
   Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap are parents of five children--Cora, William W.,
Bessie E., John A. and Lillie (deceased).
