Daniel Swartz, in October, 1834, purchased from Philip Plummer fifty acres of land, situated just north of Richwood, and he moved to it at once.  He was born in Pennsylvania, but had emigrated when quite young with his father to Highland County, near Hillsboro.  He died March 9, 1842, of consumption, aged forty-two years, leaving a wife and five children.  The former, Mrs. Susan Swartz aged eighty-three years, is still residing at the old place.
