He was reared in Scott Township, and has a distinctrecollection of the appearance of the country in all its wildness whenhe was a boy, and he can remember when Crawfordsville had but three orfour houses in it. He made his home with his father until he wastwenty-one, and then married established a home of his own with thehelp of his wife. She was Elizabeth Corn in her maiden days and adaughter of William Corn, of Clark Township, one of the early settlersof the county.

Mr. Redenbaugh bought a piece of land in Walnut Township after hismarriage, and there he and his wife commenced keeping house together.He worked hard to improve it, and bought other land until his farmcomprised two hundred acres of most excellent farming land. In 1886 heretired from active business, and from the rental of his farm hederives a good income. His career as a farmer has placed him among thesubstantial citizens of the township, although he began life poor.This fact shows that beside being diligent, prudent and thrifty, healso carried on his work methodically, and was shrewd and far seeingin his management of his affairs. Politically he is a Democrat ofstanch principles. He belongs to the Montgomery County Horse ThiefDetective Association, and has always entered readily into any schemefor protecting the interests of the farmer.
