  CLYDE MAIN, whose forty-acre farm in Grand Chute township is producing excellent crops, is one of Outagamie county's scientific agriculturists. Mr. Main was born at Shiocton, Wisconsin, August 25, 1878, and is a son of Perkins and Mary (Crowley) Main, the former born in New York state in 1857, and the latter near Ripon, Wisconsin, August 21, of that year. Perkins Main was reared on a farm in New York, and as a young man was engaged in horse dealing. He came to Wisconsin when he was about twenty years of age, and first engaged in running a stage line between Appleton and Shawano, but after some years went to Chicago, where he engaged in a teaming business, his death occurring about eight years later, in 1899. His widow now resides with her son Albert, a farmer of Grand Chute township. Clyde Main attended the schools of Appleton and Chicago and after his father's death came to Stevensville, Outagamie county, with his mother and brother, and rented a farm for two years, when they went to Shiocton and spent a like period on a rented farm. Returning to Stevensville, they remained for one year, and in August, 1908, Mr. Main came to Grand Chute township and purchased the farm of forty acres which he is now cultivating. He gives his entire time and attention to his farming and stock-raising interests, and specializes to some extent in cabbages and potatoes. In political affairs he is an adherent of the principles of the Republican party, although he has never found time to engage actively in public matters and has never aspired to public preferment. Mr. Main was married August 14, 1901, to Florence Brooker, who was born January 26, 1879, in Waupaca county, Wisconsin, daughter of Frank and Sarah (Aman) Brooker, the former born in London, England, about 1854, and the latter in Waupaca county, January 2, 1859. Mr. Brooker came to the United States with his parents as a child, and located first in Waupaca county, later removing to Outagamie county, where he became a land owner and resided until the spring of 1911. He then went to a county in northern Wisconsin, where he purchased a farm of eighty acres. Mr. and Mrs. Brooker were the parents of seven children, namely: Florence, who married Mr. Main; George, who is single and lives with his parents; Finette, the wife of Leon Kennedy, residing in Bovina township; Lloyd and Effie, living at home; Lillian, the wife of William Dey of Minocqua, and Frank, residing at home. Mr. Brooker had four children by a previous marriage, of whom three are now living: Burton and Ralph, of Minnesota, and Laura, the wife of George Kaufmann, of Shiocton. Alvin is deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Main have had four children: Theodore A., born March 7, 1903; Clarinda, born December 4, 1904; Clyde, born February 5, 1907, and Jessie M., born February 17, 1911.
