BUSHLOW - Since 1884 Emil D. Bushlow has been connected with agricultural interests of Cherokee county and is today one of the most extensive landowners in this section of the state, owning and operating over eighteen hundred acres. He is a native of Iowa, born in Clinton county, February 6, 1865, a son of Frederick and Clarissa Bushlow, natives of France. The father, who was a rope maker by trade, came to Illinois and settled in Nauvoo, whence he moved to Clinton county, Iowa, where he turned his attention to farming. He and his wife died in Clinton county. They were the parents of eleven children, five of whom are still living: Joseph, of Clinton county; Mary, the wife of John Snyder, of Scott county, Iowa; Eugene, of Clinton county; Jennie, the widow of Martin Shaw, of Davenport; and Emil D., of this review. The last named acquired his education in the public schools of his native county and afterward worked on a farm there until he was seventeen years of age. He then moved to Marshalltown, where he spent eight months as an employee in Anson's brickyard and six months in the employ of the Illinois Central Railroad Company. He afterward farmed in Scott county until 1884, in which year he moved to Pilot township, this county. He worked as a laborer for seven years and afterward rented a farm for a similar period, during which time he accumulated enough money to make his first purchase of land. He bought eighty acres and this tract forms a part of his present extensive holdings. He continually added to it until he now owns over eighteen hundred acres, being one of the largest landowners in the county. He engages in general farming and his stock raising interests are especially important. He keeps on an average four hundred head of cattle and the same number of hogs, and his stock commands a ready sale upon the market. He also breeds Aberdeen Angus cattle. His farm is well improved with fences, substantial buildings and modern equipment and it evidences everywhere his careful supervision and practical labor. On the 15th of February, 1890, Mr. Bushlow married Miss Alice Groves, a daughter of Joseph and Ellen (Bull) Groves, of Pilot township. Mr. and Mrs. Bushlow have four children, Ernest, Nellie, Myron and Ivan. Mr. Bushlow has been through all the chairs in the local lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and he gives his political allegiance to the republican party. He was for nine years township trustee and has been secretary and treasurer of the school board, and is now in the second term of his able service as county supervisor. His career furnishes a splendid example of the value of courage and determination in the accomplishment of success, for he began as a farm laborer and has gradually worked his way upward until he is today one of the leading farmers and stockmen of this part of the state.
