H. C. Bugbee

    H. C. Bugbee is the son of Amos and Sarah (Spalding) Bugbee, and was born in Plainfield, New Hampshire in 1841. When about twenty-one years of age, he enlisted in the Ninth New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry, and served until 1865, when he was honorably discharged at Washington, D.C. In 1866, he moved to Bereau County, Illinois; farmed during the summer and taught school during the winter until 1869, when he came to this township (Gilboa) and settled on a farm of eighty acres, which he has greatly improved.

     In 1870, he married Julia A., daughter of William and Delilah (Cox) Daniels, and is now the father of five boys. In 1880, he was elected Township Trustee by the Republicans, and in 1882 re-elected. Both he and wife are members of the Baptist Church.
