One of the leading agriculturista and respresentative citizens of Shelby county, Indiana, is John Tilson Higgins, who was born here on July 12, 1855, the son of William E. and Mary (Wheeler) Higgins.
John Tilson Higgins received his education in the common schools of Shelby county, now known as the district schools. He went through all the grades and received a fairly good education for his opportunity, for he applied himself very carefully to his text-books. He remained on the old homestead, assisting with the work about the place until his marriage to Rose Dolan, a daughter of John E. Dolan and wife.
To Mr. and Mrs. John Tilson Higgins eleven children have been born, namely; the first and scond died in infancy; Richard Carter, born March 12, 1880, resides in Canada; Frank W., born January 12, 1882, married Victoria Weintraut; he is a salesman and is living in Virginia; Victor W. was born June 28, 1884; he is a scenic painter and lives in Chicago; Ambrose, born July 27, 1886, a graduate of the agricultural department of Purdue University, is living at home; Marie Cecelia, born July 15, 1888, is a teacher and is living at home; William Frederick, born January 27, 1890, is still a member of the family circle; Robert E., born October 2, 1891, died August 8, 1903; Teresa Portia, born March 17,1896, died March 15, 1909; John Tilson, Jr., born February 13, 1898.
After his marriage Mr. Higgins angaged in farming, which he had followed ever since in a most successful manner. He had always devoted considerable attention to stock raising, having a hobby for hogs, also the raising of fruit, and no small part of his yearly income is derived from these sources. He is a great breeder of Duroc hogs and always keeps some fine specimens of this variety. His model farm, one of the best in Shelby county, is located in section 6, Liberty township, being under a high state of improvement and well kept in every respect. He has a very attractive home, modern substantial and nicely furnished, also excellent bards and outbuildings; everything bout his place shows thrift and prosperity, and that a man of good judgment and progressive ideas has its management in hand; in short Mr. Higgins is one of the prominent men of Shelby county, being interested in whatever tends to promote the welfare of his fellowmen in this locality, and always ready to support all measures looking to the good of his fellow men. He is one of themost active workers in the Catholic church in this county, being a liberal supporter of the same. He has served on the Advisory Board of his township for two terms, and is now a member of the County Council. Mr. Higgins is a well read man, keeping abrest of the times in all matters and his conversation is enteraining. He and his family readily impress the stranger as being well educated and hositable.
