Read More	Son of John Garst and Mary Jane Bozarth. 1915 Past and Present of Shelby County, Iowa, pp. 1324 - 1325 IRA D. GARST Shelby county, Iowa, has attracted farmers from all sections of the United States as well as from many countries of Europe. From the state of Ohio there have come many farmers who have made Shelby county their home. Among these Ira D. Garst, who is now living a retired life in Harlan, occupies a prominent place. Coming to this county about thirty years ago, he has devoted most of his life since then to agricultural pursuits, his labors meeting with a degree of success indicative of his enterprising and progressive methods. Ira D. Garst, the son of John and Mary (Bozarth) Garst, was born September 30, 1858, in Clarke county, Ohio. His parents both of whom were natives of Ohio, spent all of their lives in the state of their birth, his father dying in 1881 and his mother in 1908. Ten children were born to John Garst and wife: Abraham, Ezra, Marion, Ira, Jasper N., Anna, Ella, Etta, Allie and Emma. Of these children, Ezra died in infancy, while the others grew to maturity. Ira D. Garst was educated in the public schools of Clarke county, Ohio, and after leaving school farmed with his father for three years. He then married and came at once to Shelby county, Iowa, where he first worked as a farm hand. A year later he bought eighty acres in Center township and began farming for himself. As he prospered from year to year, he added to his land holdings until he owned two hundred and eighty acres in this county. He gave much of his attention to stock raising and annually fattened for the market about seventy-five head of hogs and a car load of cattle. In 1914 he sold his farm in this county and retired to Harlan, where he is now living. He still owns three hundred and twenty acres of land in Oklahoma, to which he gives his general supervision. Mr. Garst was married January 13, 1884, to Eliza Ebersole, the daughter of Peter and Hannah (Prantz) Ebersole. Mr. Garst and his wife have one adopted daughter, Mabel, who is still living with them. Mrs. Garst was born in Ohio, as were her parents, and lived there until her marriage. Her father is deceased, while her mother is still living in Ohio. Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Ebersole: Phoebe, Daniel, Saloma; Sophia, John P., Eliza, Henry, Jay Scott and Willis E. All of these children are still living with the exception of Henry. Mr. Garst and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal church. Politically, Mr. Garst is a Republican, and while interested in everything pertaining to good government has never taken an active part in the political affairs in this county. His life, since coming to this county, has been one of unceasing industry and perseverance and the systematic and honorable methods which he has followed have won for him the unbounded confidence and regard of all who have formed his acquaintance.
