NOTES
"ELDER, James M. farmer, Rockville, was born in Madison County, Kentucky in 1822. He is the son of Alexander Elder, who was a native of Kentucky, from which state he came to Parke Co. in 1825 and settled on the.farm where the subject of this sketch now lives. Today, instead of the.log cabin in which those pioneers lived Mr. Elder has fine buildings and.his farm is all under good improvement. The passerby could scarcely form an idea of the wilderness in which the Elder family settled when they.came to Parke Co.
Mr. Elder's father died in this county about 1865 and his mother, Anna McCord, died about 1855.
Mr. Elder was married in 1848 to Sarah A. Burford, daughter of W. D. Burford. She was born in Parke County in 1829.
Their family consists of 7 children living: Mary E.; Amanda; Anna; Emma J.; Sarah E.; Lucinda; and James E., and one deceased, William."[2]
