  A. M. FEATHERS, of Larkin township, is one of the early day settlers of Nobles

county, having resided here continuously since 1876. He was born at Dodgeville,

Wis., Dec. 14, 1864. His father was a native of Canada and was of Irish descent.

His mother was born in Dodgeville, and was of Scotch, Irish and French descent.



  In November, 1876, at the age of twelve years, Mr. Feathers came to Nobles

county and for three years worked on J. R. Jones' farm near Bigelow. He then

went to Adrian and for twenty years was in the general merchandise store of Mr.

Jones, acquiring an interest in the business before severing his connection

therewith. In 1901, he sold out at Adrian and moved onto the Larkin township

farm, where he has since resided. The farm is the northwest quarter of section

8, and was purchased in 1893.



  In 1888 Mr. Feathers was elected recorder of Adrian village and served one

year. He is now chairman of the Larkin township board of supervisors and is

serving his second term. He is a member of the Unitarian church and of the

Masonic and Woodmen lodges.



  Mr. Feathers was married at Adrian in 1887 to Miss Frances Haislet, daughter

of the late S. S. Haislet, founder of the Adrian Guardian. She was born in New

Hampton, Iowa, and moved with her parents to Heron Lake in 1880 and to Adrian a

few years later. She taught school in Adrian before her marriage. Mrs. Feathers

died in 1892. The second marriage of our subject occurred in 1895, when he

wedded Miss Sallie Prideaux, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. Prideaux, of

Worthington. She was born in Dodgeville, Wis., and came to Nobles county with

her parents in 1872. Mr. Feathers has eight children, named as follows: Rowena,
