Foreman, senior member of the firm of Foreman, Teale & Company, of Lamoni, who deal in implements and in real estate, was born at Lawrence, Van Buren county, Michigan, on the 14th of March, 1868, a son of John and Lucy (Setchell) Foreman, both of whom were natives of England. They were married in that country and remained there for several years, coming to the United States just before the outbreak of the Civil war. They located in Michigan, where the father gave his attention to farming. In 1876 they came to Decatur county and settled one mile south of Lamoni, the father operating a farm for six or seven years. He then removed to Lamoni and in 1881 became the owner of the hotel here now known as the West Hotel and conducted that hostelry for about two years, after which he sold it and purchased other property. He is still residing at Lamoni, at the advanced age of eighty-seven years. His wife passed away in April, 1905, when seventy-five years old. He belongs to the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints, as did his wife. To them were born six children: Julia Inman, who died in 1910 in North Dakota; Mrs. Clara Harrington, who is living near Decatur; Joseph proprietor of a café at Lamoni; Mrs. Waltenbauch, of Cainesville, Missouri; Mrs. E. C. McCook, of Pendleton, Oregon; and G. S., of this review. The last named was eight years of age when the family located in Decatur county and he grew to manhood in this county. He received a high-school education and after putting aside his text-books gave his time to agricultural pursuits for about five years. At the end of that time he removed to Lamoni and entered the employ of Dancer & Smith, dealers in implements. He continued with their successors, Stafford, Walker & Jones, who in turn sold to Bowser & Biddeson, which whom Mr. Foreman remained until he became a member of the present firm of Foreman, Teale & Company. The last named deals extensively in farm implements and since 1914 have also acted as real-estate agents, operating mainly in the vicinity of Lamoni. The firm employs two or three men steadily and does a good business, selling implements, flour, feed, coal, automobiles and accessories. Mr. Foreman is a republican and is a loyal worker in the party ranks. Fraternally he is connected with the Knights of Pythias of Lamoni, in which organization he has many warm friends. There has never been any question as to his integrity and fair dealing, and his probity has been a factor of no little importance in his business success. Moreover, all who have been closely associated with him known him to be a man of excellent judgment. Transcribed for IAGenWeb Decatur County SOURCES: 1. History of Decatur County Iowa And Its People.
