GARLETS, Peter  - Greenfield Township
===========================================================================
Peter Garlets was born December 15, 1820, in Pennsylvania, the son of Jacob
and Elizabeth Garlets, natives of Pennsylvania.  His father died in his
native State, and his mother in Indiana.  Peter Garlets lived in his native
State until the age of twenty-three, and learned carpentering there.  He
was married in Ohio, January 29, 1846, to Miss Maria Fair; she and her
mother, Rachel Fair, were natives of Pennsylvania, and her father, John
Fair, of Ireland; they came to Indiana in 1876, and he died in this county.
Mrs. Fair survives him.  Mr. Garlets, in 1863, sold his farm of eighty
acres in Ohio and purchased 160 acres of his present farm in this township,
which he has greatly improved, furnishing it with numerous fine buildings,
wind mill, etc.  Mr. Garlets subsequently purchased 165 acres in
Springfield Township, and is a thorough farmer.  They have four children,
John, Jacob, Mary A. and Daniel, all married except Jacob, who resides at
home; John and Mary live in Springfield, and Daniel in this township.
