C. W. BAINTER, one of the enterprising citizens of Corning, Adams county, Iowa, was born in Hancock county, Illinois, in 1861, and is the third of a family of five children. His parents, T. J. and Panina (Moore) Bainter, are natives of the Buckeye State, and in 1889 they removed to Kansas, and now reside in Osborne county. Both the paternal and maternal grandparents were pioneer settlers of Ohio; but in later life removed to Illinois, where they again endured the privations incident to the settlement of the frontier. They located in Hancock county, aud were among the most extensive agriculturists of that section, where they passed the remainder of their days. The parents of our subject were reared in Illinois, receiving their education in the
common schools, and were married there. They now reside in Kansas, the father being
engaged in farming.

C. W. Bainter passed his youth in Illinois, dividing his time between the duties of his father’s farm and attending the public schools. Upon attaining his majority in 1880 he came to Iowa, and spent one year in Washington county. He then went to Kansas, and at the end of two years he returned to Illinois, remaining in his childhood home for five years. He then made another trip
to Kansas, and after a short stay there, located permanently in Corning, Iowa. In November, 1891, he purchased his present livery stable, which is one of the best equipped in the county. He has good horses and first class vehicles, and is able to accommodate all classes of custom.

Mr. Bainter was married at Corning, Iowa, in May, 1891, to Miss Laura Denison, a native of Iowa, and a daughter of McDowell Denison, an early settler of this State, but at present a citizen of Kansas.
