DAVID L. PUDERBAUGH
D. L. Puderbaugh, a successful farmer and stock-raiser of Liberty township, where he owns and operates two hundred acres of valuable land known as the Crystal Fountain farm, was born August 30, 1864 , on section 26 of this township. Extended mention f his father, Andrew Puderbaugh, is made on another page of this volume. Our subject remained under the parental roof until he had attained his majority, thoroughly mastering the various branches of learning taught in the public schools. His attention throughout his business career has been largely given to agricultural pursuits. He spent the years 1886 and 1887 in Wyoming and, being married in the latter year, located in Lucas county, Iowa . In 1898, however, he took up his abode on his present home farm, being here successfully engaged in the tilling of the soil and the raising of cattle, hogs and horses. His place is called the Crystal Fountain farm, on which he has recently erected a model dwelling and also added many modern improvements and accessories. He has a fine well, from which water is siphoned to the various fields and to the barn, having three different tanks which hold a fine supply of water. He has likewise installed a Kewanee water system, supplying hot and cold water all over the house.
Mr. Puderbaugh was united in marriage to Miss Elzina Nine, a native of Lucas county, Iowa , and a daughter of henry and Catherine (Marker) Nine, who still reside in Lucas county. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Puderbaugh have been born seven children: Gertie, Jennie, Fern, Harley, Homer, Ora and Ardis, all of whom were born in this county and are still at home.
In his political views Mr. Puderbaugh is a republican, while fraternally he is connected with the Modern Woodmen of America at Lacona. He is well known as one of the prosperous and enterprising residents of his native county and justly merits the respect and esteem everywhere accorded him.
