Nebraska, worked as a ranch hand on the Cook Ranch when old enough to strike out on his own. Albert married his childhood sweetheart Lois Fluent.

Sent by Richard P. Ratcliff wrote by Thomas D. Hamm. The Antislavery
Movement in henry County, Ind. published in 1987 by the Henry Co., Historical
Society.
Alfred Hadley Hiatt was one of the most energetic of Henry County's early
antislavery leaders. Here follows an attractive sketch of Hiatt by Charles F.
Coffin (1823-1916), for many years a prominent Indiana Friend.
In the early part of the last cnetury, there lived in Guilford County,
North Carolina, William Hiatt, and his wife Charity and their seven children,
namely Joel, Benajah (my grandfather), Rachel, who married W. Kersey, Silas,
Amer, Esther (who married Jesse Evans) and Rebecca, (who married William B.
Unthank). The parents were upright, honorable people, consistent members of
the Society of Friends, and as well educated and intelligent as others in the
agricultural community in which they resided."
Charity Hiatt lived to be nearly ninety years of age and the writer
remembers her well advanced in years as a wrinkled old woman supporting herself
with a hickory stick, full of life and vitality, although bent with age, with a
great vein of humor in her composition which largely descended to her children.
She died in 1840 at her daughter Rebecca's in Spiceland, Ind.
In course of time the sons all removed to Indiana and settled in the
vicinity of Milton, Ind. Wayne County, Amer, the youngest son and the father
of Alfred H. Hiatt, was a man of unusual force of character and of very decided
views of his own, which frequently differed from those of others about him.
Himself and wife were consistent members of the Society of Friends and brought
their children up in the faith of their fathers. Amer Hiatt and his wife
removed and settled in Randolph County, Ind. then a new country, covered by the
primitive forests and with much wet land, but a good rich soil, roads almost
impassable much of the year. Here Alfred grew up in habits of industry on the
farm and accustomed to the regular attendance of the Friends meeting near by.
He managed to procure a fair education and later went to Cincinnati and
graduated in the Medical College there. At this time there was great agitation
on the slavery question and young Alfred threw himself in very earnestly on the
antislavery side and assisted with others to organize and run what was called
"The Underground Railway" by which slaves were aided in escaping into Canada.
Not being satisfied with the extra conservatism of Friends where he
resided and having experienced a change of heart, he joined the Wesleyan
Methodist Church and soon felt called to the ministry in that church. For many
years he was engaged as a 'circuit rider' in visiting the churches of that
denomination in that section of the county. His life was devoted with great
earnestness to the gospel ministry and the anti slavery cause, and he was
exposed to no inconsiderable privation in a new country and living upon very
limited means.
He continued his work however faithfully and earnestly until after the
Civil War and destruction of slavery, when the cause of the existence of the
church to which he belonged, (which was an offshoot from the Methodist Church
on account of the supposed pro-slavery views of the latter,) seemed to cease
and the church consequently declined largely in numbers until it became a very
small body.
As Dr. Hiatt was not inclined to enter the ministry of any other church, he
withdrew from that line of work and returned to the medical professi9on in
which he continued to the close of his life. While he was a man of great
firmness and was often exposed to danger on account of his antislavery views he
was naturally mild and gentle and always preserved a Christian demeanor. He
was universally beloved whole course of his life to be deeple interest in
religious questions and once said to the writer that he had no materially
changed his views but retained substantially those in which he had been
educated. He was active and earnest in his connection with the Congreational
Church to which he attached himself and took part in their prayer meeting and
various lines of Christian work.
The association of the writer with Dr. Hiatt was close and unusually
cordial. Being near the same age and closely related, it was always a pleasure
to meet with him and converse upon the events of the past and those which were
to come.
He attended occasionally the Friends Meetings in Chicago and at one time at
the request of the writer, spoke very acceptably as a minister dwelling on the
joys of a Christian life.
The last time that the writer saw him was during the past winter soon after
which the writer went South and was absent two months. We spent two hours
together in his office in the most earnest and pleasant conversation, during
which the suggestion was made that we were both well advanced in years and that
not many years at farthest were before us. In his case it proved to be not
many months. He was quiet, calm and earnest and expressed the joy it would
afford him to be reunited to his wife who died a few years previously and other
loved ones who had gone before but that he was patiently abiding his time.
When we parted after very cordially shaking each other hands, I remarked to
him that there was something more than the ties of blood that bound us
together, to which he responded most cordially. This was our last meeting, as
upon my return from the South I did not see him until his death occurred.
It is rarely that we will meet with a more earnest, gentle, Christian man,
one whose whole bearing indicated the depth of his Christian life and
character. We can almost imagine the joy he felt when he heard the welcome
message, "Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
