Author: Portrait/Bio Album, Whiteside County IL 1885

Joseph M. Golder, an agriculturist of extensive relations in Montmorency 
Township, and resident on  section 10, was born March 8, 1834, in Dutchess 
Co., N. Y.  He is the only son of Alonzo and Caroline E. Golder, of whom a 
sketch is presented on other pages. His education was obtained in the public 
schools, and he also attended a school of higher grade for a time. He has 
always lived with his parents; and on arriving at a suitable age he became 
associated with his father in business operations. He was 22 years of age when 
they made their joint purchase of land in Montmorency Township, and he is the 
practical manager of their large estate, his father being now in advanced life.
Mr. Golder is a Democrat in political sentiment. He is a useful and able 
citizen, and has officiated as School Treasurer 18 years, and as Director six 
years. He has served for many years as Elder in the Presbyterian Church. He 
was married Dec. 11, 1861, in Montmorency Township, to Helen A Church. She was 
born Oct. 15, 1839, in Oswego Co., N. Y., and is the daughter of Artemus and 
Elizabeth (Peck) Church, who were both natives of the State of New York. John 
F., Carrie E., Lee and Lyle (twins), William L. and Maud V., are the names of 
the children of Mr. and Mrs. Golder. The latter is also a member of the 
Presbyterian Church.
