Read More	Alfred de La Mare has developed a valuable farm in Swan Creek Township, and is recognized as one of the representatives of the agricultural class in Fulton county. He was born on the Island of Guernsey in August, 1848, a son of John and Sophia (DeGaris) de La Mare, also natives of the Island of Guernsey, who came to the United States in 1861. After a short period spent in Cuyahoga county, Ohio, they came to Swan Creek Township, buying eighty acres of partly cleared and improved land, of which they later sold their son Alfred half, residing on the other half for some years. They then sold it and bought another forty-acre tract a half mile south of their original farm, and there Mrs. de La Mare died, follow ing which Mr. de La Mare went to live with his son Alfred, and remained with him as long as he survived. His children were as follows: Sophia, who was Mrs. Manuel Cole, is deceased; Alfred; Louisa, who died in infancy; and John, who died at the age of five years. When he was twenty-one years of age Alfred de La Mare went to Cleveland, Ohio, and worked at gardening for one season and then drove a milk wagon for three years. He then returned to Swan Creek Township, to the forty acres of land he had bought from his father. This property was partly improved, but it had no build ings and he had to erect all of them. He has kept four acres of the original timber land, but has the remainder under cultivation, and has added to his farm until he now has sixty acres on the west side of the road and thirty acres on the east, and his wife owned ten acres one mile north of their farm. This had an old mill dam on it for furnishing the water power to run the Raker mill. This small tract is also operated by Mr. de La Mare. He carries on general farming and keeps a good-sized dairy and breeds cattle, hogs, horses and sheep. On November 25, 1875, Mr. de La Mare was united in marriage with Sarah Engleman, a daughter of John and Catherine (Smith) Engleman, born in Ohio. Mrs. de La Mare died on October 2, 1897, having borne her husband the following children : Sophia, who is Mrs. Royal Reighard, of Swan Creek Township; an unnamed son who died in infancy; and Ethel, who married Carl Watkins, now operating the home farm, while Mrs. Watkins keeps house for her father. Mr. de La Mare is a member of the Raker Union Church. He is a strong prohibitionist and rejoices in the passage and ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment. When he and his associates in this movement began their fight the general public had but little sympathy with them, never for a moment thinking that it would ultimately be successful. These early workers endured much in their efforts to educate the people with reference to the evils of the liquor traffic, and to them is due the credit for the great reform wave which has swept not only over this country, but is reaching out to include others, so that it is only a matter of time until the entire world will be "dry."
