  JAMES H. SUMMERS, who is gaining a good support by tilling the soil of township 134, range 56, in Ransom county, and incidentally laying aside a competence for future years, is a representative citizen of his community. He has gained his possessions unaided and it is to his industry and honesty that his success is due. He makes his home on section 22, and is surrounded by all the comforts of country life. Our subject was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin, December 25, 1858, and was a son of James and Margaret (Hughes) Summers, the former a native of Limerick, Ireland, and the latter of Dublin. When eighteen years of age our subject left home and went to the lumber camps of Michigan. He went to Lisbon, North Dakota, in March, 1882, and as a carpenter worked at building in that city for some time. He then began farming and has met with success in that line of work. He is interested in raising horses and his stallion, "Champion," is known throughout the county. Mr. Summers has thoroughly improved his farm and his buildings are of substantial construction and neat design. His barn is 40x60 feet, and his well, which furnishes excellent water, is fitted with a windmill and facilitates the work of the place. Our subject was married, in 1885, to Miss Ellen Glasheen. Mr. and Mrs. Summers are the parents of six children, as follows: James C., William W., John A., Leo A., Francis and Joseph. Mr. Summers favors the principles of the Republican party, but supports the men which in his opinion will best serve his community. He is firm in his convictions of right and is a man of progressive ideas and public spirit. He is a member of the Modern Woodmen of America.
