  JOHN A. SAXON, Indian Lake township farmer, is the eldest son of Charles Saxon

(deceased) and Augusta (Anderson) Saxon. He was born in Allamakee county, Iowa,

in 1863, and the first nine years of his life were spent on his father's farm

there. The date of his arrival to Nobles county was June 8, 1872, and ever since

that date he has resided in this county, making a continuous residence of

thirty-six years.



  While he was growing to man's estate John A. made his home on his father's

farm. More or less of the time he was engaged in different occupations at

various places, but his home was always in Indian Lake township.



  He was married to Carrie Brennen Dec. 19, 1891. To them have been born four

children-Mamie, Jennie, Edward and Olive- all of whom reside with their parents

on the Indian Lake farm.



  After his marriage Mr. Saxon rented the west half of the southeast quarter of

section 29, Indian Lake, and engaged in farming, which has been his occupation

ever since. About 1895 he purchased the farm, and later he also purchased a

quarter section in section 32, adjoining the home place.



  Mr. Saxon has taken an active part in the affairs of his township and school

district. He has been a member of the township board of supervisors for the last

five years, and has served three years as school director of his district. In a

business way he is interested in the telephone line which serves that part of

the county, holding an office in the company which operates the line. He is a

member of the Baptist church of Indian Lake.
