La Rue, Charles, farmer, Greenfield, has been a resident of this township
since the spring of 1862, at which time he took the management of the farm
he now occupies-then the property of his brother-in-law, W. A. Johnson-on
section 22. Among the earliest families of New Jersey was that of La Rue,
of French extraction. Isaac La Rue, father of this subject, was born and
reared in that state, as was his bride, Martha Gregg. To them a son was
born July 29, 1838, in Warren county, and christened Charles. The latter
was reared on the home farm, and attended the common school some after he
was fourteen years old. Nature did much for him, and he contrived to fit
himself for a useful citizen. He has served four years as supervisor of
Greenfield, elected by democratic votes. Is a member of Kellogg masonic
lodge, of which he is now junior steward. His parents were Presbyterians,
and his religious sympathies are with that faith. In 1879 he was united in
marriage to Mary, daughter of James and Jane Carpenter, all of New York.
Mrs. La Rue was born in Madison county. One son has been given to this
union, born April 25, 1880, and christened William J.
