Our subject received a common-school education, and afterward clerked in his father's dry gods store in Ohio, until he was married, in his native county, in 1862, to Miss S. J. Rarey, born in Franklin County, Ohio. She is the daughter of W. H. and Eliza (Rine) Rarey. (See sketch of H. W. Rarey, of Wright Township.) After his marriage, our subject clerked for a while. HE was a Sutler in the army during most of our late war, after which he engaged in farming and gardening in Ohio, which occupation he followed for three years. He then came to this county, locating on his present farm, situated in Section 9, Township 75, Range 38. It consists of 168 acres, which has been brought to its present state of cultivation by his own labors. He raises principally grain. He has been Township Trustee for seven years, and at present fills that position. He has three children - M. G., born April 18, 1864; W. G., born March 3, 1879; and C. C., born March 16, 1880.
