He came from Madison county and settled upon the farm now owned by M.L. Beaman, on section 20, in the year 1857. William McAferty is the son of John and Letitia (Leach) McAferty, and was born in 1839, in Linn county, Iowa. He moved from there to Madison county in 1855, where he lived for two years, and then came to this county, where he has since resided. He has a farm of two hundred and forty acres, eighty of which is under cultivation, and the other one hundred and sixty is fenced. A fine grove surrounds two acres, and there is also a good orchard. It is a finely located farm, being well adapted for the raising of grain, all of which is fed on the farm, he being extensively engaged in stock-raising. His father died in California in 1853, and his mother now resides in Greenfield, being the wife of William McDonald. Mr. McAferty is a member of the A. F. and A.M., having become a Mason in Dexter." ************************************************** Copyright © 2007 by Jennifer Lane.
