 WILLIAM H. SEGAR, a prominent and influential agriculturist of Darwin township, is
a representative of the thrifty, progressive and enterprising New England people,
who have pushed their way through every obstacle, in every clime and every land, and
have carried with them everywhere the civilization and progress of their
forefathers, as well as that of the present age.

   Mr. Segar was born in Massachusetts, July 7,1832, and is the son of Charles H.
and Ursula (Taylor) Segar, both of whom have passed to their reward beyond the
grave. In his New England home our subject was reared, and there received the
education which is the birthright of every citizen of that portion of our great
'Republic. In January, 1854, he left the barren soil of the “Old Bay State,” and
came to the fertile West, settling in Jackson county, Iowa. Two years later, finding
that part of the State too hilly for him, he removed to Jones county, the same
State, where he remained some two or three years. Monroe county was the next scene
of his labors, but in 1868 he removed to the Missouri slope of Iowa, and settled in
Monona county, where he remained until about 1870, when he came to Meeker county. He
at first settled on section 1, in Darwin township, hut four years later moved to
Kingston, and after spending some time in the various villages in the county,
returned to Darwin and located on section 6, where he now lives.

   August 5, 1858, Mr. Segar. was united in marriage with Miss Mary A. Lewis, a
native of Vermont, and daughter of Moses and Julia Lewis. By this union there have
been eleven children, as follows — Charles D., Eudora, Lulu M., Anna, Frank E.,
Harry S., Ernest E., Emmett E., Bessie P., Freddie and Samuel G. The four first
named were born in Monroe county, Towa; Frank in Monona county, same State, and the
rest in Meeker county, Minn.

   In political matters Mr. Segar affiliates with the prohibition party, his views
coinciding with the principles of that organization.
