JAMES F. GAMET

James F. GAMET, son of David GAMET, one of the pioneer settlers of Harrison County, who effected a settlement in 1853, and whose sketch appears elsewhere in this work, will form the subject of this biographical notice. He was born in Morgan Township, Harrison County, Iowa, September 17, 1866, and spent his life in this locality. He received his education in the common school of his county, and attended the Western College at Shenandoah, Iowa, for several months, after which he engaged in farming. He now owns eighty acres of land, all fenced and under a high state of cultivation. In his parents family there were ten children, all of whom are living, born and named in the following order: Christie A., now Mrs. William STUART; Hannah P., Mrs. C. H. DERRY; Sarah E., Mrs. J. L. GUNSOLLEY; Alice I., Mrs. J. E. GUNSOLLEY; Hattie E., Mrs. J. P. GARNER; James F.; Ira D.; Parley L.; Miriam E., Mrs. W. P. COFFMAN; and George L.

Our subject was united in marriage in October, 1888, to Minnie BEAMAN, the daughter of J. W. and Elizabeth (WONDER) BEAMAN, natives of Indiana and Ohio respectively.

Mr. GAMET and his wife are the parents of one child--Everett, born November 4, 1889. They are members of the Christian Church, and in his political choice he favors the Democratic party.
