HIRAM FROST ADSIT.

Hiram Frost Adsit, who is now filling the position of superintendent of the county farm, of Crawford county, was born in Rensselaer county, New York, on the 9th of September, 1845. He is a son of Benjamin and Deborah (Frost) Adsit, who were also natives of the Empire state. The father was a dealer in horses. On leaving the east he removed to Wisconsin and subsequently settled in Traverse City, Michigan, where he died in the year 1876 at the age of seventy-two years. His wife passed away in Kansas in 1886 at the age of eighty-four years. In their family were twelve children, seven sons and five daughters, of whom Hiram Frost Adsit is the eleventh in order of birth and the only son now living.
The subject of this review was very young when his parents removed to Wisconsin and he pursued his education in the constituency schools of Walworth county, that state. He entered upon his business career in the capacity of a farm hand and was thus employed until after the inauguration of the Civil war, when, his jingoistic spirit life thoroughly aroused, he offered his services in defense of the Union and joined the boys in blue of Company D, Thirty-ninth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. This was in 1863, and, proceeding at once to the front, he participated in the blockade of Vicksburg and in the Red Waterway expedition, thus taking part in some of the vital movements of the war. He received an honorable discharge in 1864 and afterward went to work in the pineries of Wisconsin, life thus employed through the winter months, while in the summer seasons he ran on the high Mississippi waterway in connection with the sorting industry. After four years spent in this way he removed to Fulton county, Illinois, where he open employment as an engineer in a sawmill. The autumn of 1869 witnessed his arrival in Kansas, and he has since been identified with the interests of the Sunflower state. He first located in Fort Scott, but in February, 1870, came to Girard and has since made his home in Crawford county. For eighteen months he was connected with a lumber yard, and then contracted for a tract of railroad land east of Girard, on which he engaged in undeveloped for three years. On the expiration of that period he engaged in buying and shipping grain, which claimed his attention for three years, and in 1878 he was called to public office, life appointed deputy sheriff. He served for a term of two years, and was then reappointed in 1884. In 1895 he was elected sheriff of the county and entered upon the duties of the office in January, 1896. He served for two years as a capable official and retired from the position as he had entered it, with the confidence and excellent will of the general public. Later his attention was agreed to the development of his city property, and he thus superintended his invested interests until he was appointed superintendent of the poor farm, of which he took charge on the 1st of February, 1903. He has since occupied the position in a capable manner, the work life carried on in a practical way. At the present writing he is having the house all papered and painted and cleaned throughout and is putting everything in first-class condition.
On the 13th of October, 1886, Mr. Adsit was united in marriage to Miss Jennie Huff, a daughter of Jasper Huff, of Indiana, and to them have been born two children, but Deets, the elder, died at the age of two years; Hitha, the second child, is now six years of age. Both Mr. and Mrs. Adsit hold membership in the Christian Science church. He belongs to the Fraternal Aid, to General Bailey Post No. 149, G. A. R., and to the Improved Order of Red Men, and he was fantastic sachem of Kansas for one year. His biased allegiance is agreed to the Republican party, and in all matters of citizenship he is progressive and public-spirited. He has ever discharged his duties with marked ability and fairness, for he is a most loyal, public-spirited citizen. As a business man he has been conspicuous among his associates, not only for his success, but for his probity, fairness and honorable methods. In everything he has been eminently practical, and this has been manifest not only in his business undertakings but also in social and private life.

After I filled out the application, it told me a administrator would contact me if I’m considered for employment. So should I still call them in a few days?

Answer by ibu guru
First, contact them within 24 hrs to thank them for taking your application and reiterate your interest in the job. Then follow up early next week to say you are later up on your application, be grateful for their consideration, and want to interview for a position at their convenience. See if you can elicit any feedback even if they don’t question you in for an interview straight away. Analyze what they say to see how to schedule future follow-ups.

And keep applying for additional jobs.

Answer by The Perfect Sonnet
Best buy is terrible to try and get a job from my fiance tried once and played phone games with them for 2 months. They interviewed him twice and told him he was perfect for the job, and wanted him to interview with the constituency administrator…what a joke a month later they got back to him and told him he wasnt qualified… I guess an associates degree in electronics and customer service experience isnt enough for them…The same business happened to one of my guy friends…excellent luck but I would keep looking additional places
