The first six years in L.C.s life were passed on the farm where he born, thence, he resided in Galesburg. He attended the public schools until he was old enough to make his own way in the world and engaged in lathing for two years. At the expiration of that time he gave up this trade and for three years thereafter drove a dray, continuing at home until he attained his maturity. In 1925, he was the proprietor of L. C.
