Aaron Foster Core was born in Ross County, Ohio, in 1830, his parents being Isaac and Sarah (Heims) Core. The father was a native of Ohio and of Maryland-Dutch parentage. His grandfather Heims lived to a good old age. The father of A. F. Core owned a farm and the son was reared on it. Receiving the usual common-school education of the period. In 1850 the father made a trip to Iowa and bought a fractional quarter-section of about 150 acres in Marion County.
In 1852 the son bought a similar quarter-section adjoining the previous purchase and put in a crop. The mother had died a few years before, leaving five sons and four daughters. In 1854 the family moved to Iowa and the holding was increased by later purchases to 850 acres.
The father died there in 1875, aged seventy-three. In 1859 A. F. Core came to California, and went to mining in Shasta County, but with poor success. In 1861 he came into what is now Franklin Township, and took up a quarter-section and worked with a partner, who also had taken up a quarter-section, raising grain on both for two years.
In 1863 they divided interests. Afterward Mr. Core sold out his right in that land, and in 1875, bought 160 acres, and four years later another 160, adjoining by corners, both of which he still owns, tills and occupies.
He raises wheat chiefly, but has also a small vineyard and a still smaller orchard, besides growing a little hay and barley. It is excellent land for wheat and vines. In 1863 Mr. Core was married to Miss Elizabeth L. Carroll, a native of Iowa, daughter of Mordecai and Lydia (Taflinger) Carroll. Mr. Carroll lived to a good age, and Mrs. Carroll is now about seventy-eight. Mr. And Mrs. Core are the parents of five children: Isaac N., born in 1865; Edward Riley, in 1867; Lydia Ann, in 1869; Ella, in 1871; and Nathaniel, in 1876.
