W.H. Ager was reared in Bremer county and acquired his education in the district schools. At the age of twenty-one he began his independent career, buying land in Chickasaw county, where he resided for one year. At the end of that time he bought a farm in Frederika township, this county, and has since resided upon this property. He owns one hundred and thirty acres of valuable land and has provided this with an excellent set of buildings and all the equipment necessary to the proper conduct of a modern farm. In addition to his agricultural interests he is also president of the Frederika Creamery Company and a business man of recognized ability.
In Bremer county Mr. Ager married Miss Olive L. Bowers, who was born in Illinois, a daughter of G.N. and Martha (Baxter) Bowers, who came to Bremer county in 1865. Both have passed away. Mr. and Mrs. Ager became the parents of three children: Hubert, who died in infancy; and Floyd B. and Donald, at home. The parents are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which Mr. Age is trustee. From the time he attained his majority until William Jennings Bryan's first campaign for the presidency Mr. Ager supported the republican party. He then trasferred his allegiance to the democracy and he has recently become the adherent of the prohibition party, in whose principles he is a firm believer. He has served as township trustee and he takes an intelligent interest in public affairs, supporting many movements for the general good. He has been a resident of Bremer coutny for a number of years and is recognized as one of the prominent farmers and public-spirited citizens of this locality.
