CHARLES BANKS

BANKS, Charles farmer, section 32, P. O. Shenandoah; born in Sweden March 30, 1852, came to the United States in 1867 locating at Burlington, Iowa. At the end of six months he went to Warren county, Illinois, working at farming by the month for the following four years. Subsequently, he came to Ringgold county, Iowa, purchasing a farm, on which he labored for a year. Selling the property, he came to Page county, and purchased 160 acres in Morton township. He is a bachelor, and lives on a farm in single-blessedness, ‘with no one to molest or make him afraid.”
