Notes:

M. CLIFFORD TOWNSEND. There can be no measure of conjecture as to the efficiency and value of the services that are being rendered to Blackford county by Professor Townsend, who is the able and popular incumbent of the office of county superintendent of schools and who has proved his administrative powers to be on a parity with his high intellectual attainments. He is a native if the county and that he is well known and highly esteemed needs no further voucher than that offered by his present official preferment. Professor Townsend was born in Liking Township, Blackford county on the 11th of August, 1884, and is a son of David and Lydia (Glancy) Townsend, the former of whom was born in this country on the 8th of October, 1859, and the latter of whom was born in Ohio, on the 14th of November, 1867. David Townsend is a representative of one of the honored pioneer families of Blackford county and is a son of Gilbert Townsend, who was born on the State of New York, in 1815, a son of Gilbert and Mary (Saxon) Townsend. Gilbert Townsend. Jr., whose wife was of Pennsylvania German ancestry, came to Blackford county, Indiana, about seventy years ago, his parents having established their home about the year 1836 and having become pioneer settlers in Washington township, where Gilbert Townsend, Sr., took up a tract of government land and instituted the reclamation of a farm from the wilderness, his old homestead being now known as the Scott farm. The family home was a primitive log house of the type common to the locality and period and the full tension of pioneer life was endured by the early representatives of the Townsend family in Blackford county. Gilbert Townsend Sr., was one of the first white settlers in Washington Township, did well his part in the social and industrial development of the county and both he and his wife continued to reside in Washington township until their death, at advanced ages. Gilbert Townsend, Jr., likewise became one of the substantial pioneer farmers of the county, and in Washington township his wife died in 1865. Many years later he removed to the State of Kansas, where he died in 1890, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Maria Studebaker, near the city of Hutchinson, his age at the time of his demise having been seventy-five years. He was a man of strong character and well defined convictions, his political allegiance having been given to the democratic party. David Townsend, one of several children is the youngest of the number and the only one now living except his sister, Sarah, who has reared a family of children and who now resides in Blackford county. David Townsend was reared to manhood in Blackford county, where is was afforded the advantages of the public schools of the day, and he initiated his independent career as a farmer in Licking township, where he passed the major part of his active career and where he achieved success worthy of the name. In that township was solemnized his marriage to Miss Lydia Glancy, who was four years of age at the time of her parents' removal from Ohio to Blackford county. Mrs. Townsend is a daughter of David and Harriet (Kirk) Glancy, who came to Blackford county in 1871 and the latter of whom died here in 1875, her birth having occurred in the year 1826. Both she and her husband were devoted adherents of the United Brethren church. David Glancy was identified with agricultural pursuits after coming to Indiana but eventually he prepared himself for the medical profession, to which he gave his attention for many years. In 2881 he removed to Kentucky, where he continued in the active work of his profession until his death, occurred at his home near Denton, Carter county, November 8, 1906, his age at the time having been seventy-five years. Of his four sons and four daughters all are living, except two. David and Lydia (Glancy) Townsend, who now reside in Licking township. Blackford county, are the parents of two children, of whom M. Clifford of this review is the elder. Myrtle is the wife of Frank Hoover, who is engaged in the furniture business at Hartford City. Professor M. Clifford Townsend duly availed himself of the advantages of the public schools of his native county and then became a successful and popular teacher, his work in the pedagogic profession having been of such admirable order that he was eventually recognized as a most eligible candidate for the responsible office of which he is now the incumbent. He taught his first term of school in the Bailey district of Licking township, in 1902, and he has since continued to be actively and successfully identified with the work of his profession, in the mean while having completed a thorough course at the Marion Normal College, an institution in which he was graduated as a member of the class of 1907. He was elected county superintendent if schools in April, 1909, and his administration has been marked by scrupulous attention to the requirements of all of the schools in his jurisdiction, as well as by most progressive policies, so that he has gained the earnest cooperation of the teachers of the county and the uniform approval of the general public. Professor Townsend is a stalwart advocate of the principles of the democratic party and he has been an active worker on behalf of its cause, definite prestige being given by his present incumbency of the position of the secretary of the democratic county committee of the Blackford county. He has served as a delegate to the democratic convention of this congressional district, and in his native county is a recognized leader in the councils of his party. The Professor is affiliated with the Hartford City lodges of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. On the 25th of December, 1910, was solemnized the marriage of Professor Townsend to Miss Nora Harris, who was born in Grant county on the 17th of December, 1890, and who is a birthright member of the Society of Friends. She is a young women of most gracious personality and was graduated in the Marion Normal College. Professor and Mrs. Townsend have one child, Maxwell Alexander, who was born January 13, 1913.
