BOHN F. WOODRUFF, one of the enterprising young farmers of Hammond Township, was born February 27, 1859, in Spencer County, Ind., and is the youngest son of Andrew J. Woodruff. (See sketch of Purl G. Woodruff.) He received but a limited education in youth. He remained at home working on the farm for his father until attaining his majority. March 14, 1880, he was united in marriage with Transylvania Butler, a native of Spencer County, Ind., to whom two children, Vernon and Florence, have been born. After his marriage he bought sixty-three acres of land where he now lives. Mr. Woodruff has an excellent prospect for the future, and will undoubtedly become one of the leading farmers of the county. He is a member of the United Brethren, and his wife of the Regular Baptist Church.
