C. L. Logan, who is direct descendant on his mother's side of the two first governors of Massachusetts—Governor Winthrop and Governor Dudley, was born thirty miles north of Bangor, Maine, June 10, 1850. His parents, George P. and Lois Lyford Logan moved west in 1854, to Illinois near Waukegan, and two years later to the new state of Minnesota, where he grew up on a farm.
His early education was in common country school. When 17, he taught school, and next year attended Hamline University for one term. His preparation for college was mainly made while still on the farm, during winters and such time as could be taken from the strenuous work of the farm.
He entered the Northwestern University, becoming a member of the class of 1877, graduating with the degree of A.B., to which A.M. was added three years later.
After one year as school principal, he joined the Wisconsin Conference, and in 1880 returned to Evanston, entered Garrett Biblical Institute, graduating with the degree B.D.
In 1883 he was transferred to the Rock River Conference, and appointed to Mt. Carroll.
In 1884 he married Grace Boehm Wood, the grand-daughter of Henry Boehm, known as the centenarian of early American Method¬ism, the traveling companion of Bishop Asbury.
In 1886 he went West as missionary to Nevada and California. There an Academy was built and he was its principal for several years, and later was appointed to the First Methodist Church of Carson City, the capital of Nevada.
In 1895 he returned to Illinois, and served successively the church at Marseilles, First Church of Sterling, Elizabeth, and other places.
In 1910 he went to Montana, largely on account of health of an only son, who died in 1918. There he farmed some, preached some, and taught school for several years.
He retired from the active Ministry in 1913, and since 1920 has lived in Yorkville, Illinois.
There have been eight children, seven daughters and one son—five daughters are living; two daughters and the son have died.
