  AMOS G. HAAG, superintendent of the Helvetia Farm, a tract of 600 acres lying 
in Brady township, which is owned by L. W. Robinson, of the B. R. & P. Railroad, 
is a competent and successful agriculturist.  He was born at Troutville, 
Clearfield county, September 22, 1877, and is a son of C. B. and Sarah (Bonsall) 
Haag, the former of whom died April 8, 1911.
  Amos G. Haag obtained his education in the public schools and secured the 
training that has made him successful as an agriculturist, two years with his 
father and the rest of the time on the Helvetia Farm.  He first began work on 
the Helvetia Farm in 1897, where he has continued ever since, with the exception 
of one year, which he spent in the office of L. W. Robinson, its owner, at 
Punxatawney.  Mr. Robinson makes the farm his home.  Extensive farm industries 
are carried on and fine stock is raised.  In August, 1906, Mr. Haag was married 
to Miss Florence London, who is a daughter of Arthur and Pauline London, of 
Jefferson county, Pa.  They have one son, Arthur, a sturdy little lad who was 
aged eleven months on the 24th of April (1911).  Mr. Haag is a member of the 
Lutheran church.  Mrs. Haag belongs to the Reformed church.
