Arthur Detloff

Arthur Detloff, a well-known farmer of Elgin township, was born on a farm in section I of that township on July 19, 1894, son of Henry and Pauline (Pech) Detloff, prominent residents of that community, further reference to whom is made elsewhere in this volume. Reared on the home farm in Elgin township, Arthur Detloff received his early schooling in the district school in the neighborhood of his home and supplemented the same by a course in the high school at Le Mars. He began farming with his brother, Henry, and was thus engaged until after his marriage in 1916, when he started farming on his own account and is now farming two hundred and forty acres in Elgin township. In addition to his general farming, Mr. Detloff is feeding about four carloads of cattle annually and one hundred to two hundred hogs and is giving close attention to the live-stock phase of his farming operations.

Mr. and Mrs. Detloff have a very pleasant home and give proper attention to the general social activities of the community in which they live. Mr. Detloff is a Republican and takes a good citizen's interest in the civic affairs of the county.
