Manson Head

MANSON HEAD.

Mr. Head, son of Simeon Head, who kept for so many years the leading tavern on the Michigan road, is now a citizen of Zionsville and has been for twenty-five years, and where he enjoys the confidence and respect of his fellow citizens. He has served as Trustee for a term of years; also as County Commissioner of the county four years; in every respect to the entire satisfaction of the people. He has for many years been an active member of the Masonic Order, and has served as W. M. of the Zionsville Lodge time immemorial, which capacity he has filled with dignity and fairness, such as has rendered him a desirable one to fill the chair in the east. In his nature he is retired, never seeking to intrude himself before the public; and be it said to his credit, he has filled all the above honorable places without his special seeking. Mr. Head is now just in his prime, being about fifty years of age, well preserved. He was the first man in Boone County to sign for the “Early Life and Times in Boone County.” We hope he may live long to read it. He is a live Republican.
