Biography reproduced from page 465 of the History of Kossuth and Humboldt Counties, Iowa published in 1884:

David Porter Roth was born Feb. 5, 1851, in Clarion, Bureau Co., Ill. When fourteen years of age he went to Du Page county and worked ten years on a farm. He then went to Independence, Buchanan Co., Iowa, and lived four years, and in 1879 came to this township and located on his father’s farm, which comprises the southeast quarter of section 21, where he still lives, farming and stock raising. He was married Dec. 14, 1870, to Cassie Dunroy, of Indiana. They have one child—Charles Eugene. In politics he is a greenbacker.

(Transcriber’s note: Roth’s farm was located in Cresco Township.)
