DR. A. W. BARE, a native of the Hoosier State, is a son of Jacob and Mary
(Ray) Bare, who were of German and Irish descent.  In 1820 they left Augusta
County, Va., the place where they were born, and removed to Clark County,
Ind., where our subjects's birth occurred February 17, 1826.  They lived the
remainder of their lives in Clark County, and were parents of this family:
Mary, William C., Harriet, John R., Jacob, Addison W. and Joseph D.
(deceased).  Addison W. Bare, for many years, has been one of the foremost
men of Spice Valley Township.  In politics he is a Republican;  owns 140
acres of land adjoining Bryantsville, and he and wife are members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.  He was reared on his parents' farm, and
remained at this parents' home until the death of his mother in about 1841.
In 1848 he graduated from Hanover College, situated in Jefferson County,
Ind., and after reading medicine attended a course of lectures at the
Louisville Medical University, then practiced for a time at Brownstown, and
in 1859 graduated at the medical college in Louisville.  Miss Mary A. Cable
became his wife October 6, 1853, and their children are:  Mattie,  James R.,
John, William A., Nellie, Annie C., Mary W. and Thomas B.  Mrs. Bare was
born April 2, 1835, the daughter of Richard and Ann (Houston) Cable.  By a
long residence at Bryantsville, Dr. Bare has established a large and
lucrative practice.  From June, 1864 to November, 1865, he was employed as
