- H. P. FALES - Mr. Fales was born in Pelham, Massachusetts,
September 28, 1821. His father,
- Daniel FALES, was born in Walpole, Massachusetts, October
17, 1792, and now resides in Barry, Massachusetts, at a very
advanced age. H. P. Fales remained with his father until he was
twenty-one years of age, and afterwards followed his trade for
a number of years in different parts of the State. He was married
at Troy, New York, May 19, 1856, to Miss Eveline, daughter of
John F. and Lana SMITH. His family consisted of a daughter and
a son, who are still living. Mr. FALES spent four years in California,
- two and a half years in the mines and one and a half years
in San Francisco. Upon his return in the spring of 1855, he emigrated
to Rock County, Wisconsin, and purchased his present farm from
Mr. E. H. BENNETT, as unimproved land. His farm is now under
a high state of cultivation, - to which he has brought it himself,
- with a large fine house, barn, and other buildings, and is
worth to-day from sixty-five to seventy-five dollars per acre.
He is situated only three miles from Janesville, which place
affords a good market for all kinds of produce. A fine view of
Mr. FALES' residence is published in connection with this work.
