When but a child of two years our subject came to this county with his parents, and here almost his entire life has been spent. He was reared to farm life, and in the district schools of the community received his education. He began life's battle by chopping wood, for which he received but twenty- five cents per cord, and out of this small sum paid his board. He is now engaged as a farm laborer, and has no fixed place of residence. In his political sentiments he is a stalwart supporter of the Democratic party, never swerving an inch from his allegiance to the same, and is firm in support of its principles advocated by its prominent leaders.
