  Birth	23 May 1826	Bucyrus, Crawford County, Ohio   [1, 2, 3]
  	DAVID THORPE HALSTEAD Born in Ohio May 23, 1826, he was one of the six children of Samuel and Susanna (Webster) Halstead, and was a brother of the late Micah B. Halstead, with whom he came as a pioneer to Jasper County. David T. Halstead's life is closely interwoven with the religious development of this section of Indiana. Though for two terms he served as auditor of Jasper County, his real work was in connection with the Church of God, of which he was an elder for sixty years. David Halstead came to Jasper County in 1851. He married Teressa Reeve, and of their five children Joanna, Eva and Charles reached maturity. His second wife was Patience Reed Sharp. David T. Halstead was a man of pronounced views, generous to a fault, giving much to charity, and not only possessed but exercised a deep and abiding love for all mankind. Patriarchal in appearance during his latter days, he was indeed a father to the youth needing wise counsel. His piety was of the highest order of Christianity. His death occurred on June 22, 1914, and he went to his final rest followed by the benedictions of a host of friends and admirers.
