LOGAN Among the enterprising farmers of Taylor township, Harrison county, Iowa, may be mentioned William B. Logan, who has been engaged in general farming and stock raising in this county for many years. Born and reared in the state of Iowa, Mr. Logan came to this county after he had reached man's estate, and has since made it his home. He started in a humble way and by good management and ceaseless industry has acquired a very comfortable living for himself and family. William B. Logan, the son of John and Martha (Fortune) Logan, was born March 28, 1858, in Independence, Iowa. His parents, who were natives of Ohio and Kentucky, respectively, reared a family of seven children, William B. being the eldest of the family. The education of William B. Logan was received in the schools of Independence, Iowa, where he made his home until he reached his majority. At that time he left home and went to Colorado, where he worked a few months. He next found employment in Omaha, where he drove mules on the Omaha & Sioux railroad, which was then being constructed. He worked for the railroad company for a few months and then went to Pottawattamie county, Iowa, and engaged in farming. While living in that county he was married, and after farming there a few years he moved to Harrison county and located in Taylor township, where he has since resided. While raising all of the crops of this locality he has given particular attention to stock raising and feeds about a carload of cattle and sixty head of hogs for the market annually. He has found by experience that the greater portion of the income can be derived from a farm in the sale of live stock and consequently gives this phase of farming the most attention. Mr. Logan was married January 3, 1882, to Verona Fox, who was born January 6, 1852, in Pottawattamie county, Iowa, a daughter of Basil and Martha A. (Bell) Fox. Her parents were born in Putnam county, Indiana, and came west at an early date. Mrs. Logan was the fifth of twelve children born to her parents. About 1898 the Fox family moved to Missouri Valley, where the parents spent the remainder of their lives. To William B. and Verona (Fox) Logan have been born nine children, eight of whom are living, Arthur D., who was born July 28, 1899, having died May 13, 1902. Three of the children are married, Martha, Ryland and Katie. Martha, who was born May 7, 1883, married Jesse Hillman and lives in Clay township. She has three daughters, Opal, Vesta and Helen. Ryland, who was born December 19, 1885, married Stella Jackson and lives in Taylor township. He has one daughter, Lucile. Katie, who was born October 15, 1887, married Lee Earnest, a farmer of St. Johns township. They have two sons, Lloyd and Floyd, twins. The other five children are still single and living at home, John W., born October 29, 1889; Hazel M., born August 14, 1893; Maud O., born October 8, 1896; Fern H., born July 11, 1901; Mae Bell, born May 13, 1903. Mr. Logan is a Republican, but has never been active in political affairs. He has held various minor offices in which he has demonstrated that he is a faithful servant of his fellow citizens and worthy of the trusts reposed in him. The family are earnest members of the Methodist Episcopal church and generous contributors to its support. source of biographical sketch: "History of Harrison County, Iowa: its people, industries and institutions, with biographical sketches of representative citizens and genealogical records of many of the old families", 1915, pages 574 - 575
