William W. Trout

WILLIAM W. TROUT.

Mr. Trout has been nearly all his life in Boone County, most of the time in Worth Township, where he was married to Miss Neese, daughter of A. Neese, Esq., who resides on mile south of Whitestown. Mr. Trout now lives near Hazlerigg Station, on the farm formerly owned by the late H. G. Hazlerigg, and where he has resided the past five or six years, and where he owns and operates one of the finest farms in the county. Mr. Trout studied law when a young man, and has acted as attorney and collector for the railroad for many years; but of late has devoted his time to farming – his chosen profession. He is a Democrat of the olden type. Takes great interest in fine stock raising, of which he has none but the best, and is looking for better all the time. He has a pleasant home and family, and where we were kindly received while in Washington Township in the interest of this work. Mr. Trout is just in his prime, being about fifty-two years of age, strong, athletic and will pull the scales down at two hundred pounds at any time. May he never grow less.
