William Nagle Jr., (b. 1830 above) one of the representative men of Shelby Township, was born in Reading, Berks County PA, 23 Aug 1830. When about three years old he was taken by his parents (William b. 1803 & Elizabeth b. 1810) to Ross County OH, where he spent seven years of his life, and in 1839 his parents settled in Tippecanoe County IN, and here he was reared to manhood amid the wild surroundings of pioneer life, his youth being passed in assisting with the work of the farm and in attending the pioneer schools of Shelby Township.

20 Feb 1855, he was married to Miss Camantha M. Holloway, a native of Ross County OH, and a daughter of Joseph and Sally (Timmons) Holloway, who were among the early pioneers of Tippecanoe County, they having settled on section 23, Shelby Township, in 1831, where the father died in 1875. The mother of Mrs. Nagle still survives her husband, and makes her home with her children.

Mr. and Mrs. Nagle are the parents of five children -- Ida, wife of Dr. James Gray, of Otterbein IN; Eva, wife of Charles Sutton, of Shelby Township; Drusilla, wife of Ed. Baker, of Shelby Township; John J.J., who resides on the old Nagle homestead in the same township; and Sally, also at home.

Mr. Nagle located on his present farm the year of his marriage which he had partly improved, he having owned the land some two years previous to his marriage. By industry and good management he has met with success in his agricultural pursuits, and has now one of the finest farms in Shelby Township, consisting of 372 acres of choice land, substantial house and farm buildings, and other valuable improvements. Besides this farm he also owns valuable property in Otterbein. In politics Mr. Nagle is a Republican. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church in which he is class leader adn steward. He is a member of Lodge No. 605, I.O.O.F., at Otterbein. He has always taken an active interest in the advancement of religion and education, and is numbered among the leading men of his township. p. 386
