John Wyatt, son of Nathan and Mary Wyatt, was born in Mercer County, Pa.,

April 1, 1834, in Medina County, Ohio, to Eva Kitchen, who died Feb. 12, 
1839. Their only child, Rachel, was born about sixteen months after they 
came to this county, and died at the age of four years and twelve day.  
Sept. 12 1839, Mr. Wyatt married Sarah Jane Robe, a native of Cumberland 
County, Pa., born in 1820.  They have had a large family of children, viz:---
Mary Jane, wife of Jacob Hull, M.D., of Spencerville; Rebecca H. died in

and Mrs. Wyatt are members of the Methodist Episcopal church.  In politics 
he adheres to the Republican party.  Mr. Wyatt has one of the finest farms 
in De Kalb County, consisting of 240 acres of improved land.  His residence 
is large and comfortable, and the host and hostess are hospitable to friend 
and stranger alike.  Their home is the home of the oppressed, peace reigns 
supreme, and a happier home is not to be found.  Frugality and industry 
have gained them a competency for their declining years. [For a more
