GEORGE GARFIELD was born October 5, 1859, son of Moses A. Garfield and Anna M., his wife. His father came to Wisconsin in 1866, and located in Clark County, where he bought 120 acres of wild land. By hard work he cleared up and put 100 acres in good farming shape. He was a very industrious man, and also cleared a great deal of land for other people. His death occurred in 1885. Mr. Garfield was fond of reading and made it a point to keep himself posted on the general topics of the day, and by all who knew him he was much esteemed for his many noble qualities. Of their six sons and six daughter, four sons and three daughters are living, the subject of this sketch being the eighth born. He remained with his parents up to the time of his father's death. August 16, 1881, he was married to Dosty Howard, a native of Brown County, Wisconsin, born in 1862. Two children have been born to them--Bessy and Frank. Mr. Garfield votes the Republican ticket. His farm, the one formerly occupied by his father, is located on section 17, Pine Valley Township. Mr. Garfield's mother died October 9, 1889, and is buried in the Neillsville cemetery.
