Married Ida Alice McLain 10 31 1871 in Story City Iowa. They had at Least 3 Children. Married Sarah Ellen Rice 09 16 1903 in Story City Iowa. ****************************** NORMAN H. CONFARE, farmer and stock-raiser of Section 22, Milford Township, Story County, Iowa, was born in Wayne County, Ind., on the 8th of July, 1847, and is the seventh of nine children - four daughters and five sons - born to the parents. The children are named as follows: Benjamin (farmer, resides in Story County, and married to Miss Thompson), Ephraim (laundryman, at Tacoma, Wash., and is married), Elizabeth (married, and resides in Washington), John (merchant, married, and resides Indiana), Caroline (deceased), Monroe (died at the age of twenty-five years, was a cabinet-maker by trade), Laura Jane (deceased) and Florence (married Charles Phillips, and resides in St. Paul). The father of these children was a stone-mason, brick-layer and plasterer by trade. He was a native of Pennsylvania, and died at the age of seventy-four. The mother is a native of Ohio, and is about seventy-three years of age at the present time. Norman Confare received his early educational training in the old subscription schools of Indiana, and commenced life for himself when still quite youthful. He was reared to the arduous duties of the farm, but also learned the blacksmith's trade. On the 31st of October, 1871, he wedded Miss Ida McLain, a native of Illinois, and two children were the result of this union: Elizabeth Maud (eighteen years of age) and Rachel Blanche (who is twelve years of age). In January, 1864, Mr. Confare enlisted at Richmond, Ind., in the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth Indiana Infantry Volunteers, Company K, and was assigned to the third division of the Army Corps. He was placed under Gen. Sherman's command of the Army of the Cumberland at the early age of fifteen, and was actively engaged in some of the principal engagements of the Rebellion, viz.: Buzzard's Roost, Dalton, Resaca, Atlanta, Columbus, Franklin (where from 4 o'clock P. M. until sundown, 8,700 men were killed and wounded), Nashville, Wise's Forks, N. C., and was also in many skirmishes. His company was in 124 actions from the time of enlistment until discharged, and during this time Mr. Confare received but one slight wound on the temple, but the hard service has impaired his health. He is an active Republican in politics, and has held many local positions of trust. He was supervisor of his township, and has served as school director for three years. Mr. and Mrs. Confare are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and are honored and esteemed citizens. Mr. Confare emigrated to Story County in the spring of 1869, engaged in tilling the soil, and is now the owner of eighty acres of good farming land. On this he has a neat residence, and good, substantial outbuildings. In 1883 he spent part of the year in Colorado.
