Hatch, L. B, Russell, was born in Russell in 1857, a son of S. C. Hatch. The grandfather of our subject was William, who married Temperance Chalker, of Vermont, and had five children, three now living [1894]. Of these S. C. Hatch came to Russell in an early day, and by industry has made for himself a fine home, his farm being a valuable one of about 200 acres, upon which he now resides. L. B. Hatch was reared on a farm and received his education in the common schools. At the age of seventeen he began teaching in the schools of Russell, working at farming during the summer time and teaching winters. He taught about ten terms, and on May 7, 1889 [sic 1879], he married Libbie Davis, daughter of Wheeler Davis, of Russell, formerly of Delaware county. In 1881 our subject bought the farm in Russell upon which he now resides and engaged in general farming and dairying. He keeps an average of about fifteen cows and six or seven head of young cattle. Mr. And Mrs. Hatch have two children: Herbert S., born October 16, 1882; and Grover L., born November 9, 1884. Mr. Hatch is a Democrat, and he and family are members of the Baptist church.
