John Paulger, of the firm of Paulger & Son, was born in England, on the 5th day of April, 1825. He was reared on a farm and followed the occupation of a farmer while in that country. Upon his arrival in America, in 1869, he came to Iowa, and settled in New Hartford, Butler county. Soon after his settlement here he became engaged in the coal trade, and at present deals in grain, lumber and hardware, and is one of the “live” business men of the town. He was married in 1848 to Miss Ann Hobson, also a native of England. They have six children – John Hobson, who lives in England; Alice also living in England; F. W., who is in partnership with his father; Grace Ellen, the wife of G. P. Linn, of Sumner; Frank O., who lives in Nebraska; and Annie, who is still at home.
