C., O. L., Emma V., George B. and Cora M. Mr. Irwin
has a farm of 150 acres, under a good state of cultivation, with a good
house and farm buildings. Politically he is a Republican. In
early life Mr. Irwin assisted his father on teh farm, receiving his
education in the common schools. He commenced life for himself with
comparatively little but strong hands and an honest heart, and by hard work
and good management has acquired a home where he is surrounded with all the
comforts of life. He is one of Alexander Township's most worthy
citizens, a man always live to the interests of the township, and ready to
do all in his power for its improvement and advancement. He is truly a
public-spirited man, one of whom his fellow-citizens may well be proud.
