Mason Trickle

Mason Trickle assisted on the home farm or attended school until the age of twenty-one years, when he married Miss Sarah, daughter of Henry and Clarinda Colwell, referred to in this chapter. He began life for himself then, on section 21, where he resided until 1875, when the family moved to their present home, on section 7. The first section on which they resided denoting the age of the owner at his marriage; the second, the number of his children. Politically he is independent. In township matters he has been honored with many offices and is now highway commissioner. The family, on both sides, come of representative pioneers, and like them have contributed in every form to the wealth of the county while building up their own interests.
