JOHN A. STULTS was born in Adair county, Ky., Feb. 24, 1839, and at the age of nine years he removed with his father, William Burke Stults, of Kentucky, to Macoupin county, Ill., in 1848. The subject of this sketch was raised in Illinois, returning, however, at intervals until he took up his home in Oronogo, Jasper county, in 1875. He was married on May 17, 1866, to Margaret Miller, of Champaign county, Ill., although her native place was Tippecanoe, Ind., where she was born, Jan. 3, 1844. The names of the children are Arvada, Daisy, and an infant not yet named; also a babe that died in 1875. Mr. Stults belongs to a family which has many branches in and around Oronogo, more or less related by the ties of kinship. His trade may be said to be that of a wagon-maker, which he has pursued for twenty-three years, though he is at present in the mercantile business in Oronogo and building up a good trade.
