He is a native of Paw Paw twp. born Nov. 6, 1860 and is the son of Alonzo LaPorte, a native of New York, born in 1826 at Sackett's Harbor, near the Thousand Islands. The paternal grandfather, Narcis LaPorte, was a native of France and a pioneer of Sackett's Harbor. He moved west with his family in 1837 and located at Sugar Grove, Kane Co. Ill. where he engaged at his trade of black smithing, and there reared his family. He some years later, however, moved to DeKalb county and settled on a farm in Paw Paw township.
Alonza LaPorte was eleven years of age when he accompanied his father to Sugar Grove, Kane county, Ill. and on a farm in that township grew to manhood and whenever possible attended the common schools where he received a fair education.

They became parents of two sons and four daughters, all of whom grew to mature years and married and all are living save one daughter. The wife and mother died about 1882.
Alonza LaPorte was a soldier in the Mexican war and three times walked across the plains, first as a soldier to Santa Fe, next to California in 1850 and later to Pike's Peak. With a land warrant he entered one hundred and sixty acres and later added to his possessions until he now owns over 800 acres in Paw Paw township. For years he was engaged in farming, but in 1893 moved to the village of Paw Paw where he is now living a retired life.
