Permanent LinkSenator Thomas M.C. Logan View All Years
THOMAS M. C. LOGAN was born at Rushville, Rush county, Ind., February 13, 1830; he died at his home near Centralia, Mo., August 20, 1903. He laid out the town of Logan, Harrison county, which bears his name, and settled there in 1867, becoming widely known as the leading dealer in grain and live stock in that part of the State. He was prominent in promoting the cause of education in his county, and was also noted for his activity and zeal as a temperance worker. Chosen as a member of the board of supervisors in 1879, he found the county warrants were worth but 25 cents on the dollar, but largely through his efforts, the debt was bonded and the credit of the county brought up to par. He was elected to the State Senate in 1887, and served the regular term of four years. He removed from this State some years ago.
