J.C. Axmear, one of the representative citizens and successful farmers and stock raisers of Adms township, whose home is on section 1, first opened his eyes to the light of day in Preston county, West Virginia, September 6, 1854. He is the second son of John Axmear, Sr., whose sketch appears above. From the age of nine years our subject has made his home in this county and is indebted to its public school system for his early education privileges. Under the able direction of his father he acquired an excellent knowledge of all the duties which fall to the lot of the agriculturist, and he continued to assist in the operation of the home farm until his marriage.
That important event in his life occurred December 4, 1879, Miss Rosa Brakel becoming his wife. She is a native of Johnson county, Iowa, and was there reared and educated. Seven sons bless the union, who in order of birth are as follows: Arthur, who is a graduate of the Keswick high school and now has charge of his father's farm in Wilkin county, Minnesota; William, who is also a graduate of the Keswick high school and is now at home; Fred and George, twins; Sidney, Bruce and Cecil, all at home.
Since leaving the parental roof Mr Axmear has always resided upon his present farm on section 1, Adams township, and in its operation he has met with excellent success. He has erected thereon a good residence, barns and other outbuildings for the shelter of grain and stock, and today he has one of the best improved farms of the localisty. It comprises four hundred and thirty-nine acres, and besides this valuable tract Mr Axmear owns a half-section of land in Wilkin county, Minnesota, and business property in North English, Iowa. He is also a stockholder in the Farmer's Savings Bank of that place and is recognized as one of the leading business men of his community. He is actively interested in raising, feeding and shipping stock and at the present writing, in 1902, has a herd of one-hundred and thirty cattle upon his place. This branch of his business has added very materially to his income, and he is one of the most substantial men of his community, as well as one of it's most honored and highly esteemed citizens. The Republican party has always found in him a stanch supporter of its principles, and he takes a commendable interest in public affairs.
