A native of Indiana, born in Rush County, on the 13th of February, 1830. He is the son of Samuel and Sarah (Snodgrass) Logan, natives of Ireland and Virginia respectively. Mr. Logan's early life was spent in the Hoosier State, and he received his education at the district schools, and at the High School at Fairfield. His first business experience, on his own account, was in 1857 when he engaged in the stock and grain business in Richland County, Ill., continuing in the same until 1864, when he came to Cedar Rapids, Iowa where he handled grain in connection with Leech Bros., and remained there until 1877, and then came to Logan, Iowa, where he embarked in the grain and live stock trade. In 1887, he commenced operations in River Sioux and Blencoe. Politically, Mr. Logan is a stanch supporter of the Republican Party, believing as he does that under its administration, this country is most prosperous. In 1881, was nominated at Denison, for State Senator, on the Republican ticket, in the thirty-fourth Senatorial district. The district was then composed of Harrison, Monona, Crawford, Ida and Sac Counties, and he was elected by a majority holding the position four years, and serving much credit, to himself as well as his constituents. In 1879, he was elected as a member of the Board of Supervisors in Harrison County, and has always been active in educational matters, as well as espousing the cause of temperance. As to Logan's domestic relations, it may be said that he was first married at La Porte, Indiana, in February, 1851, to Miss Charlotte Snodgrass. For his second wife he married Miss Harriet Herbert at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Like many of the representative men of Harrison County, our subject is identified with various civic societies, which have for their object, the upbuilding and maintenance of good society. He belongs to Masonic Lodge, No. 220, A.F. & A.M.; Missouri Valley Chapter, and Ivanhoe Commandery of Knight's Templar at Council Bluffs, and is also an honored member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Logan.
