KIRK, HENRY E.—Scott Twp—pg 767. Farmer and stock-raiser, section 19, P.O. Montezuma. Was born in Brown county, Illinois, July 31, 1854. Was there raised until the age of eleven years, when he came West with his parents, his father, David Kirk, locating in Poweshiek county. The subject of this sketch has been engaged in the pursuits of agriculture from his boyhood, and he is numbered among the industrious and enterprising young farmers of the township. He farms fifty acres of fine land, well stocked, and all the appurtenances of his place indicate the care of a skilled hand. He was married March 7, 1880, to Miss Susan J. Hunter, of Poweshiek county, a lady of refinement and culture.
