- FREDERICK BRACE LANGWORTHY, son of C. E. LANGWORTHY, was
born on the 26th
- day of January, 1866. He received a liberal education in
the common schools, and was reared to manhood on his father's
farm, assisting in the labor of cultivating and improving the
land. He remained under the parental roof until 1887, when, going
to Keokuk, Iowa, he was employed as a surveyor for the Santa
Fe Railroad, working between Ft. Madison and Kansas City. After
eight or nine months spent on that line, he returned to his home,
and on the 23d day of May, 1888, led to the marriage altar Miss
Carrie CUTTING, the accomplished daughter of Levi and Lizzie
(EDWARDS) CUTTING. The father resides in Janesville, but her
mother has departed this life. By the union of the young couple
one child has been born - Hugh Harrison, born March 27, 1889.
Mr. LANGOWRTHY has followed farming during the greater part of
his life, and is now operating ninety-five acres of land, a part
of the old homestead. His residence was erected in 1888, and
is a fine two-story dwelling, which, being substantially built
and nicely furnished makes a most pleasant home. Hospitality
there abounds, a hearty welcome being extended to all. Although
a young man, Mr. LANGWORTHY possesses good business ability,
is energetic and industrious, and bids fair to become one of
the well-to-do farmers of the county. He is now engaged principally
in the cultivation of corn, barley and tobacco, the latter being
one of the staple products of Southern Wisconsin. Socially, he
is a member of the Modern Woodmen, and, politically, a Republican,
having been identified with that party and its interests since
attaining his majority. He is now serving as Constable of the
town of Fulton, and also holds the office of Clerk of the School
Board. The LANGWORTHY family is one of the representative families
of Rock County, and their sketch deserves an honored place in
the Portrait and Biographical Album.
