When one year old he was brought to Vernon in Jennings county, later moving with his family to Johnson county. When he was still a youth, his family decided to go to Independence. Kas., and they made the trip by covered wagon. Later, due to illness, the family again returned to Johnson county, where Mr. Lattimore had since made his home. He was a member of the Union Christian church and the Masonic lodge, and during his active years he belonged to the Knights cf Pythias lodge. On November 28, 1883, he was united in marriage to Sarah Harbourt, who died November 26, 1918: For 27 years Mr. Lattimore had been faithful to her memory. Five children were born to the union. Mrs. Myrtle Elmore, of Crawfordsville; Mrs. Mabel Tilson and Smith Lattimore. of Franklin; Harry Lattimore, of Indianapolis, and Ray Lattimore, of Zionsville.
