A. B. WAKEMAN

Civil War Flags.jpg A. B. WAKEMAN, farmer, section fifteen, post-office Bedford, is a native of New York State, born in 1843; spent his youth in acquiring an education. Although but a boy at the breaking out of the rebellion, he enlisted, in August, 1862, in company D, One Hundred and Twenty-ninth New York heavy artillery; participated in many hotly contested engagements, including Cold harbor, and was honorably discharged in 1865. [He] returned home, then moved to Waukesha county, Wisconsin, where he lived until 1868, at which time he came to Iowa and located in Ringgold county. Remained there six years, then came to this county, and has improved a farm of 240 acres and has erected first-class buildings. Was married in Vermont, in 1868, to Miss Jennie M. FORT, a native of that State. They have two children: Frank E. and Kinnie J. They now have a pleasant home and ample means to enjoy life.
