Starkweather, Rufus G., Warren, a substantial farmer and stock breeder, was 
born August 15, 1846, and is a son of Rufus G. and Lucinda (Loomis) 
Starkweather.  The subject traces his parental ancestry back to A.M. 
Starkweather, who immigrated from England in 1690 and settled in New England.  
The subject's father was born on the old homestead in Warren, September 23, 
1815.  He died October 15, 1848.  He followed merchandising all his life and 
held several town offices.  Rufus G., the subject of this sketch, was educated 
at Clinton Academy and Warren's Military school in Poughkeepsie.  In 1873 he 
went to Beloit, Wis., and carried on a private bank three years.  Returning he 
located at Little Falls and ran a bank until in 1878 he settled on his 
grandfather's homestead and engaged in breeding fine stock.  He has been 
supervisor and is active in politics.  He married Jennie Rankins, daughter of 
John and Matilda Loomis.  No children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. 
Starkweather, but his wife has a daughter by her first husband.  Mr. 
Starkweather is a Mason.
