Harvey Barden Haselton
Carroll County
In the Twenty-fifth General Assembly the member from Carroll is the Hon. H. B. Haselton, and this is his second term in that capacity. He was born in Chenango county, New York, in 1845. For the first few years of his life he lived on the farm in New York State, but later lived with his parents in Greene Lake county, Wisconsin, and Ogle county, Illinois. He attended school in both these places. Soon after he attained his majority he came to Iowa, taking up farm life in Carroll county. There he engaged in school teaching and has succeeded very well. His start in political life was gained by being elected a member of the board of supervisors of his county. He served as chairman and administered the duties of office so well that he was put up by his party for the legislature in 1891. He was elected without much trouble. His record in the last General Assembly was satisfactory to his constituents, so he returns this winter. He is one of the quiet men of the House, but his work goes on just the same.
