EGGERT, Karl
Farmer; Sec. 20; P. O. Reasonor; born in Prussia, Germany, in 1842; emigrated to America in 1856, and to Jasper Co., Elk Creek Township, in 1856; has 130 acres of land, valued at $50 per acre. He married Ann CHARLESWORTH in 1863; she was born in Henry Co., Ind., in 1848; they have seven children-William, Ida, Mena, Ella, Mary, Milla and Arthur. Independent in politics; Mr. and Mrs. EGGART are members of the Lutheran Church. Transcriber's note: The surname was spelled EGGERT at the beginning of the biographical sketch, but EGGART later in the sketch, so I have transcribed it exactly as it appeared. ~ "Palo Alto Township Biographies," The History of Jasper County, Iowa, (Chicago: Western Historical Company, 1878)
