  History of Outagamie County, Wisconsin Page 0879
  BOSTIC H. AMES, one of Maine township's good, practical farmers and reliable citizens, whose forty-acre farm is located in section 10, is a native of Shelburne, New Hampshire, and was born May 28, 1849, a son of Asa H. and Eliza C. (Carlton) Ames, natives of that State. Asa H. Ames, who was a farmer by occupation, went to the California gold fields during the days of '51, and there his death occurred in 1852, his widow surviving him ten years. Bostic H. Ames was the fourth born of a family of five children, and he commenced to work for his board and clothes at the age of thirteen years, continuing thus for two years, when he began working for wages at farming, logging and river driving. He came to Wisconsin in 1878, and two years later purchased the place which he now operates, at which time there was but a small clearing and a small log house. He has since put all of his land in a high state of cultivation, and has fully equipped it with buildings, machinery and fencing, making one of the handsome and fertile farms of his township. He is engaged in general farming and stock raising, and makes a specialty of dairying. Mr. Ames is a member of the Fraternal Reserve Association. He is a Republican, and at one time or another has served in almost every township office, including those of treasurer, clerk, assessor, and chairman of the township, and for twenty-five years he has served as a justice of the peace. He and his family are members of the Union Congregational Church of Maine township, of which he is clerk. In 1878 Mr. Ames was married to Miss Anna Leeman, daughter of Charles S. Leeman, of Outagamie county. She was born February 10, 1858, and was the eldest child of eight born to her father's second marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Ames have been the parents of eight children, of whom two died in childhood, while the surviving members are: Grace, who married John H. Johnson, of Outagamie county, has four children; Alfred, who married Mattie Allen, is living in this county, and has two children; Edith, who married Ernst Shepard, is living in Oklahoma and has one child; Iva is single and living at home, as are also Winifred and Myron.
