Charles A. Bost, representing agricultural and horticultural interests of Montgomery County, is living on section 28, Rountree Township. His birth occurred with the corporation limits of this township, on the old family homestead, October 7, 1866, his parents being Daniel and Amanda S. (Ridenhour) Bost, both of whom were natives of North Carolina, whence they came to Montgomery County in 1833, locating in Rountree Township among its earliest settlers.
Charles A. Bost pursued his education in the schools of Butler Grove township and afterward accompanied his parents on their removal of Butler. He remained at home until eighteen years of age, when he began earning his own livelihood by working by the month as a farm hand, being thus employed until 1888. He then went to Missouri and in the following year he removed to Kansas and afterward to Oklahoma. He secured a lot at Crescent City and assisted in laying out the town. He was also assistant postmaster there and took an active and helpful part in the early development of that place, but in March, 1890, he sold his interest there and returned to Montgomery county. Here he followed farming for a year, after which he worked at the carpenter's trade for about five years. Upon the expiration of that period he took up his abode at his present place of residence on section 28, Rountree township. At first he rented a tract of land here, but he now owns one hundred and twenty acres. When he took up his abode at this place he at once began the improvement and development of the property and he now has a good house, a commodious and substantial barn and many modern equipments. Shade trees add to the value and attractive appearance of the place and the land is divided into fields of convenient size by well kept fences. He was entirely without capital when he took up his abode upon this farm and he had no stock, but upon the place are now seen good grades of cattle, horses and hogs and his fields annually return to him good harvest, while among his other possessions is a fine young orchard of one thousand trees.
On the 23rd of October, 1890, Mr. Bost was married to Miss Elizabeth C. Nussman, a daughter of Eli and Sarah E. (Liticker) Nussman, who are residents of Rountree township. Mr. and Mrs. Bost are the parents of five children: Florence Elmira, born June 25, 1887, Edna P., November 18, 1891; Warner G., November 14, 1892; Hazel L., January 18, 1895 and Archibald, who was born February 11, 1896 and died on the 20th of July of the same year. The parents attend the Lutheran church and Mr. Bost belongs to the Modern Woodmen Camp at Nokomis and Rountree Council No. 131, M.P.L., which was organized in Rountree Township. He was elected town clerk in 1900 and wrote the first hunting license of his township. In his business he has prospered as the result of this untiring diligence and enterprise and well merits the success that has come to him.
