  ASHER M. HAGERMAN, a Lorain township farmer, has resided in Nobles county for

the last twenty-three years, during all of which time he has been engaged in

farming. He is a native of Pennsylvania, having been born at Williamsport,

Lycoming county, of that state in 1854, the son of Joseph L. Hagerman and Mary

(Hafer) Hagerman. Both his parents were natives of the same state. His mother

died in Pennsylvania in 1867; his father in Iowa in 1897. The Hagermans are one

of the old families of the Keystone state, and were among the first to settle in

the Lycoming country. For several generations they have resided there, and many

of the prominent people of that county bear the name of Hagerman.



  Asher was brought up in the county of his birth and lived there until his

twenty-sixth year. He received a common school education, and spent his early

years in working on the farm and at logging. In 1880 he moved to Hudson,

Blackhawk county, Iowa, and for four years was engaged in farming there. In the

fall of 1884 he came to Nobles county and purchased the southeast quarter of

section 3, Lorain township, and the following spring he came to the county to

live. During the first four years of his residence here he lived on the Disbro

farm, one mile northwest of Worthington. He then moved to Lorain township,

purchased the northeast quarter of section 10, and has since made that place his

home, farming the half section he now owns there.



  During his residence in Lorain township he has served on the town board six

years, has been township assessor five years and clerk of the school district

for six years. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hagerman are members of the Brewster Methodist

Episcopal church.



  Mr. Hagerman was married at Williamsport, Pa., Feb. 5, 1874, to Miss Slade. To

them have been born three children—Albert, James and Charlotte—all of whom are

living at home.
