A. L. CLOUSER, County Recorder of Sac county, was  born in Perry county,
Pennsylvania, November 18, 1860, a son of F. B. Clouser. Our subject was reared
and educated in the common schools of his native county, also receiving an
academic course. He received a certificate to teach, but never followed that
occupation. For a time he was employed in a printing office, but in 1879,
located in Battle Creek, Iowa, in the employ of the Northwestern Railroad, and
was afterward engaged as station agent and telegraph operator at Wall Lake and
Gray, Audubon county. In addition to this, Mr. Clouser followed general
merchandising in Lake View, this State. January 1, 1890, he took charge of the
office at Lake View, which position he has filled with satisfaction to his
company. Politically, he is one of the leading men in the Republican party, was
elected County Recorder in the November election, polling the full vote of his
party, has served with great credit on the School Board in Lake View, and is one
of the young, progressive and earnest workers in Sac county. In Perry county,
Pennsylvania, at the age of twenty-one years, our subject was united in marriage
with Miss Jennie Shire, a native of that State. They have three children: Alice,
Bessie and Francis. Socially, Mr. Clouser is a member of Laurel Lodge, No. 517,
A. F. & A. M., of Lake View, and of the I. O. O. F., Lake View Lodge, No. 302,
of which he is Past Grand. Our subject is a young man, but the position to which
he has been elected shows that in the years he has lived in Sac county he has
gained the confidence and esteem of the people.
