Charlotte Emerancy Bassett, b.1831, d.1862
ANDREW VANDARWARKA, an enterprising and well-to-do farmer and stock raiser whose home is on section 8, township II6, range 47, Glenwood township, Deuel county, was born in Pennsylvania. September 22, 1855, the son of Peter and Emerancia (Bassett) Vandarwarka, both natives of New York state. The father was born July 8, I815, and died in Minnesota July 8, 1895. By occupation he was a farmer and was a soldier in the regular army for five years, participating in the Black Hawk and Seminole wars. The mother died in Pennsylvania in I863. Their family consisted of three sons and one daughter, Larkin, Abbie P., John and Andrew.
The family moved to Olmsted county, Minnesota, and from thence, in I864, to Waseca county, where our subject spent the greater part of his youth, and where he received his schooling. He later engaged in farming and team work in that county, and also purchased timber land and did some lumbering.
January I5, 1881, our subject was united in marriage to Miss Matilda A. Hubbard, a native of Wisconsin, born September 28, I860. Her father was born in Connecticut October 4, I8I8, and now resides in Wisconsin. Her mother was born in New York, and died in April, 1868. Mrs. Vandarwarka has six brothers, whose names are as follows: Charles, Chauncy, Francis, George, Miles and James H. Mr. and Mrs. Vandarwarka are the parents of a family of three children, upon whom they have bestowed the following names: Ida L., now Mrs. Hall; Mertle E. and Miles D. The family moved to Deuel county, South Dakota, in I888. There they purchased the relinquishment to a homestead, and filed a tree claim. Thus securing a farm, our subject set to work to make for himself, his wife and his children a comfortable and pleasant home, and accordingly built a residence and a neat set of farm buildings, and otherwise improved and developed his farm. In I893 the house and barn were both burned by prairie fires, leaving the family homeless, and, as the original buildings were not insured, they found it a difficult task to rebuild and continue farming operations. Mr. Vandarwarka, however, is not a man to be easily discouraged, and he soon had a new home and is now one of the substantial men of the community. His farm comprises a half section of land, eighty acres of which is broken, and which he is tilling by the aid of seven horses. The place is well stocked with cattle, sheep, etc., and produces, each year, a good crop. Our subject is a member of the I. O. O. F., has passed all the chairs of that lodge, and is now a district deputy. Politically he is a Republican.
