James A. Bolton spent his boyhood on the home farm, receiving his education in the district schools of his neighborhood; he had nearly reached his majority when he started out to make his own way in the world. He was employed at farm work for six years, and in 1894 leased the Henry Mallory farm which he conducted for ten years in connection with his own farm purchased the same year, which he has improved with a substantial residence, new barn, sheds and other outbuildings. Here he carries on general farming and dairying, using modern methods in his operations, and his equipment is of the latest and up to date. As a man, Mr. Bolton stands high in the confidence and esteem of the community and he is justly counted as one of its foremost citizens. He has devoted his time to home matters, and believes in the welfare and progress of his community. Mr. Bolton and his estimable wife, who was Miss Lillian Stowell, of Big Springs, Adams county.
