His father Isaac Bugher, was a native of Pennsylvania, and died in Illinois. His mother, Isabelle (Hailyer) Bugher, was a native of Virginia, and now lives in Adair Co., IA. Robert learned the carpenter trade of his father, but his health being inadequate, he bacame a farmer. In 1845 he married Elizabeth Lazier, a native of Virginia. In 1848 he emigrated to Henry Co., ILL., where he followed farming and was very successful. Being desirous of obtaining more land, thus giving his sons better facilities, he removed to Iowa and secured the south half of section 9, in pleasant Valley township, for which he paid $10.00 per acre, unimproved. It is a most desirable location, being well watered and having but little waste land to mar its value. When first removing, he lived one year on an adjoining improved farm, and in the meanwile built his present spacious farm residence, and has since so improved, built and beautified his home, that he now possesses one of the finest farms in the county. He gives his principal attention to stock farming. He is democratic in politics. He served as justice of the peace fourteen years in Illinois, and has held the smae office in Iowa. He has also been trustee of townshiip, school director, etc. He is highly respected as a citizen, and in social life is affable and courteous. He has been a member of the Masonic fraternity since 1848. Religiously, he is a Baptist. His children are- Nettie, wife of Marshall Carver, Lander, Isaiah, Isaac, Alpheus, Robert, and Camantha.
