TAYLOR R. L. Farmer, Inventor and Manufacturer ; born in West Wind- sor, Vt., Feb. 7, 1829 ; married to Miss Charlotte M. Mitchell March 25, 1857, who was born at Leompster, N. H., July 15, 1833, but mostly raised in Weathersfield, Vt. She died at Hop- kinton, Iowa, Jan 11, 1866, leaving him two daughters living-Charlotte Minerva, born at New Oregon, Iowa, Sept. 7, 1858, and Edith Grace, born at Hopkinton, Iowa, Oct. 4, 1864 ; having previously lost one daughter and one son ; he was married the second time to Mrs. Carrie R. Atwood, April 2, 1867, who was born at Westminster, Vt .. Dec.
12, 1839. He moved with his family to Hopkinton, Delaware Co., Iowa, in Sept. 1860, where he kept a store and post office for several years. His health failing, he sold his store and enclosed, in common with others, his farm where he now resides, on Section 5, Hazel Green Township, in this county, then compar- atively a mere speck as compared with the extensive wild, almost unbroken and sparsely settled prairie, in the Spring of 1866. To save expense, he conceived the idea of fencing in one enclosure a strip of land one mile wide by two miles long, save forty acres, which he accom- plished by inducing other owners to join in the enterprise, which, although it cost him a large effort, richly repaid him by bringing his farm, then of about 320 acres, into the enclosure thus formed (the renot being fenced previously, of the full amount, only about 170 acres in the almost two square miles), this enclosed with a single line of fence about 240 rods in length, being one side of his farm. The surrounding prairies were fenced and improved as by magie, and iu a very few years were all fenced and dotted with buildings and groves. He commenced the building of wire fence when it was looked upon with distrust and considered a failure generally. He discovered the supposed failure to be want of building it properly and keep- ing the wires tight. The latter diffi- culty he successfully overcame by in- venting the famous Taylor Stretcher, which is now extensively used and has a wide-spread reputation of being the best in use, and so cheap that farmers cannot afford to do without it. He has also invented a wire splicer and pincers for connecting wires which make a per- fect splice that cannot break, besides saving much time and wire and is con- sidered almost indispensable in building and repairing wire fences. The Taylor Harrow is also his invention. It is extensively introduced, and, by the re- ports of the best farmers, it has become established as the best and most practi- cable harrow in the Great West.

THOMAS J. A. Farming and Stock Raising ; S. 16; P. O. Golden Prairie ; owns 825 acres, valued at $25,000; born in Connecticut Aug. 18, 1827; came to this county in 1862. He spent his boyhood with his uncle, J. H. Benedict, in Otsego Co., N. Y. As a school boy, was never caught alone pouring over his books. His time, when not at work, was mostly devoted to breaking steers and colts, making calf yokes, sleds, etc. When 12 years old, he had four bright red, 2-year old steers, with brass buttons on their horns, trained so nicely that he drove them without a yoke about the county fair grounds ; they would mind the motion of the whip, he being perched upon the head of an old ox whose weight was nearly 2,000 pounds. He thinks now if farmers' boys wonld get more educa- tion in the barnyard, there would be fewer farmers who would say their lives were failures financially. He went to California, in 1849, by way of Cape Horn; was gone five years. Married Miss Almira Flint Nov. 1, 1856. She was born in Montgomery Co., N. Y., Jan. 24, 1836; is a member of the Congregational Church. Came to this county in the Spring of 1862 with 950 sheep; drove them to this State from Michigan the year before. This was the largest flock, except one, in Iowa, at the time ; kept them seven years. The enterprise was a success, the profits purchasing 100 acres of land each year.
