Historical Perspective
Old Vigo County settlers voted for pair of Harrison boys for president in 1800s
Mike McCormick/Special to the Tribune-Star
October 5, 2003
As the 1892 presidential election approached, Col. Richard W. Thompson - perhaps the most venerated
man in Vigo County history - polled the community to find those who had cast votes for William Henry
Harrison in the 1836 and 1840 elections. Thompson was a strong supporter of Republican candidate
Benjamin Harrison of Indiana, grandson of the founder of Fort Harrison. His survey revealed that all 31
men interviewed intended to cast his vote in 1892 for former President Harrison's descendant.
Thompson's report, published in October 1892, identified the oldest as 102-year old John Dawson and the youngest as 76-year old Thomas B. Carr.
