• Notes

  From 'History of Franklin County' page 523, at Hampton, Ia Library: Milton D. Latham was the fourth of a family of six children, and came to Franklin county in 1874, locating on section 26, in Reeve township, where he now resides. His farm consists of eighty-five acres, under good cultivation. He was born in Jo Daviess, IL in 1849, where he grew to manhood, receiving a common school education, and was married, in 1874 to Emily Buss, born in England, in 1852. They are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Geneva, and have three children -- Carrie, Edith and Jessie. His father was born in Vermont, his mother in Ohio. They were pioneer settlers of Jo Daviess, IL, where they both died. The parents of Mrs. Latham were born in England, where the mother died in 1868. The father then emigrated to Stephenson, IL, where he is still living, having had a family of eight children. Milton moved to Alexander and farmed there and then in his retirement moved to Oregon where he died and is buried.
