Fred Hiatt
A successful and enterprising agriculturist of Fremont county, Iowa, located near the prosperous town of Sidney, is Fred Hiatt, who was born in Fremont county, in 1872, a son of Reuben and Martha Ann (Kauble) Hiatt, the former of whom was born in Illinois and died in Fremont county in 1897. The father was a very prominent man, being one of the first settlers of the county, coming here in 1851. Mrs. Hiatt was born in Indiana, in 1830, of German descent, a daughter of David and Mary (Kratzer) Kauble, and married Mr. Hiatt in Missouri. She still survives. The paternal ancestry of our subject can be clearly traced to Page Proctor Hiatt, the great-grandfather, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary war. The paternal grandparents were Jesse and Mary (Proctor) Hiatt, the latter born in Madison county, Kentucky, the former in South Carolina, from which state he emigrated at a very early day to Peoria, Illinois, where he was one of the oldest settlers, and from there entered the army in the war of 1812.
Our subject received his education in Sidney, Iowa, passing through the high school at that place, and then engaged in farming. He has a fine tract of valuable land, comprising ninety acres, upon which he carries on general farming and stock-raising, being particularly successful.
The marriage of our subject took place November 7, 1894, to Miss Olivia Alexander, who was born in Missouri, a daughter of Aaron and Martha (Stokes) Alexander, the former of whom died in Missouri, the latter now being Mrs. Henry Keyser, of this place. One interesting little daughter, Belma Fern, just three years old, has been added to the family.
In national affairs our subject is always found voting with the Democratic party, but in local matters he casts his ballot for the man he deems best for the position, regardless of general politics. He has been called upon to serve the township in some of the local offices, and has been a very efficient road supervisor for several terms. He is a valued member of the Methodist church at Sidney, while Mrs. Hiatt is connected with the Christian church. Both possess the esteem of the community and are regarded as among the most respected residents of the county.
