Bolton, John F. (page 257), of the firm of Bolton Brothers, druggists,
Plainview, is descended on both sides of the house from the earliest
Greenwood Prairie settlers, and is well known throughout the community for
his active interest in the development of the region in the history of
which his relatives have had so important a part. He was born in
Plainview, April 15, 1881, son of Thomas G. and Ella (Foster) Bolton, and
has here spent his life. He passed through the graded schools and in 1900
was graduated from the Plainview High School. In 1905 he entered the
University of Minnesota and two years later was graduated from the course
in pharmacy, a profession with which he had been more or less connected
with since early boyhood. He was also for a time associated with his
father in several other ventures, including the Plainview News. In 1907 he
became associated with his brother, Miller T., in the drug business, known
as the Bolton Drug Store, a popular and well patronized concern, to which
he has since devoted his time exclusively. He is a substantial figure in
Plainview business life. Fraternally he is associated with the Odd
Fellows.
Mr. Bolton was married September 1, 1910, to Vera M. Saxe, born
at Plainview, September 22, 1888, daughter of Theodore Saxe, at that time
a well-known photographer of Plainview, who moved to Inglewood,
California, in 1910. Mr. and Mrs. Bolton have three children: Roger V.,
born October 5, 1912; Philip L., born November 15, 1915, and Lorine V.,
born May 13, 1917. The family faith is that of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
