Biographical History of Cherokee County, Iowa
W. S. Dunbar & Co., Chigago - 1889

[page 603-604]

    E. R. CHARLTON a representative and intelligent farmer of Liberty
    Township, is a native of Belfast, Ireland, born February 10, 1857.
    His parents are natives of the beautiful Emerald Isle, and there he
    passed his youth until thirteen years of age, when the family bade
    farewell to their old homes, and sailed to America, "the land of the
    free and the home of the brave."  After landing in this country they
    proceeded to Illinois, and settled in Jo Davies County, remaining
    there one year; then they removed to La Fayette County, Wisconsin,
    where our subject resided until 1881.  He then came to Cherokee
    County, Iowa, and bought a farm of eighty acres in Liberty Township
    which he is still making his home.  Mr. CHARLTON was united in mar-
    riage January 29, 1884, to Miss SADIE ANDERSON, daughter of JOHN and
    JANE (BURROUGHS) ANDERSON.  Mrs. CHARLTON was born in La Fayette
    County, Wisconsin, September 11, 1858, and received her education
    in the Plattsville State Normal School of Wisconsin.  Her father is
    a native of Scotland, and has served a term in the Legislature of
    Wisconsin, taking an active interest in local politics.  Mr. and Mrs.
    CHARLTON have been blessed with two children: EDITH BLANCHE and ARUBA
    BELLE.  Mr. CHARLTON is a stanch supporter of the principles of the
    Republican party.  He has served as a member of the School Board, and
    is the present clerk of the township. Both he and his wife are worthy
    and consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, and are numbered
    among the leading people of Liberty Township.
