C. E. FOGLEMAN.

Willow township has its full quota of progressive farmers who have contributed their share to the upbuilding and development of the county. Among the number is C. E. Fogleman, living on section 33, where his time and energies are fully occupied with the care and further improvement of a farm of one hundred acres. He was born in Pennsylvania, August 3, 1861, and is a son of Peter and Hannah (Buck) Fogleman, also natives of the Keystone state. The father went to Illinois at an early date and engaged in farming there for a number of years, after which he moved to Dubuque county, Iowa, where he spent the remainder of his life, passing away in 1888. His wife survived him many years, dying in March, 1913.

C. E. Fogleman was reared and educated in Illinois and remained with his parents until he was twenty-three years of age. He then moved to Ida county, this state, where he farmed upon rented land for one year, following which he engaged in agricultural pursuits in Cherokee county for three years. At the end of that time he moved to Delaware county but after three years returned to Cherokee county, buying one hundred acres of land on section 33, Willow township. This he has improved and operated since that time, and he has made it a valuable property, equipped with excellent buildings and machinery. In all of his business dealings he has shown marked enterprise and good judgment and has made his efforts count to the utmost, utilizing every opportunity.

On the 12th of February, 1884, Mr. Fogleman was united in marriage to Miss Mary A. Zarr, a daughter of Washington and Caroline (Talbert) Zarr, natives of Pennsylvania. The father came to Cherokee county, Iowa, at an early date and farmed in this locality for the remainder of his life, dying June 17, 1908. His wife has also passed away. Mr. and Mrs. Fogleman have three children: Ethel, the wife of Roy Hind, a farmer in Willow township; Lulu, who married Roy Buck, engaged in farming in Douglas township; and Jessie B., the wife of Charles Bush, a farmer in Willow township, this county.

Mr. Fogleman gives his political allegiance to the republican party and is now serving as township trustee. He is a man of excellent character and his honesty, integrity and ability have always merited him the confidence and respect of his neighbors.
