C. N. Taber, farmer P. O. Chetek, Barron county, was born in Genesee county, 
N. Y., July 20, 1847, a son of Nelson and Dinana (sic?) (Moon) Strong, New 
England farmers. The father is still living but the mother died when our 
subject was but six weeks old. Our subject was adopted by Mr. Taber and wife, 
when he was but two months old, and with them he lived until he was twenty-
three years of age. He received but a common-school education. In 1860 the 
family came to Wisconsin and settled in Dane county, where they remained until 
1865, then came to the Chippewa Valley and settled in Cook's valley, where they 
lived eight years, and since then they have lived in Dallas, Barron county. Our 
subject first settled on his farm of 200 acres in 1869, but for the past few 
years he improved it but little and worked for Knapp, Stout & Co. December 8, 
1871, he married Martha M. Sexton, who has borne him one daughter, Carrie A. 
Strong. In politics Mr. Taber is a straight republican, and is liberal in 
religious matters. During his life he has never signed a mortgage or bond, and 
would never accept an office.
