Read More	From the 1911 book "Past and Present of Hardin County, Iowa": Columbus E. Rash, pp. 917-918 Iowa is essentially a farming state, and her position among the states depends upon the character of her farms, and no farms in the United States are better or have a better reputation than the farms of Iowa. This is due both to the natural fertility of Iowa soil and to the ability an efficiency of the Iowa farmers. For even the wonderfully fertile soil of the state would give it no high rank in farming, were it not for the application of the men who cultivate it. Mr. Rash is a type of the best and most efficient Iowa farmer, who, by care, attention and labor, has become the proprietor of a farm in Union township, which has no superior in the county. Columbus E. Rash was born in 1859 on the old Rash homestead in Union township, the son of Lewis E. Rash, a pioneer of Hardin county, whose record appears elsewhere in this work. Columbus attended the common schools of his township and spent his boyhood and young manhood on his father's farm, until the time of his marriage. On March 7, 1881, Columbus E. Rash was united in marriage to Martha Smith, the daughter of Theophilus and Mary (Nash) Smith. Her father is dead and her mother is living in Ohio. Mr. Smith was married on January 16, 1881. In 1871 he located in Tipton township, Hardin county, Iowa, where he followed farming until his death, on March 1, 1904. His body lies in the Chapel cemetery of Providence, Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are the parents of the following children: Frances Ellen was born on March 28, 1869; Sarah E. was born on March 17, 1872, and married Robert Frank; Clara Etta was born on march 25, 1877, and married J. L. Young; Martha, the wife of Mr. Rash, was born September 3, 1863.

Rash was born on July 3, 1890, and died on December 22, 1890. Mr. and Mrs. Rash have also an adopted son, Maynard C., who was born on April 6, 1891, and is to them as their child. Mr. Rash is one of the successful farmers of his community, and gives much attention to stock raising. He breeds Jersey Red hogs, draft horses and grade short-horn cattle, and has by stock raising greatly increased the fertility of his farm. In politics he is a Republican, is active in school work and has held several school offices. Fraternally, he is a member of the Odd Fellows at Union, Iowa. He is a member of the Methodist church.
