Elizabeth Van Ausdell, a native of Ohio; her parents moved from New Jersey to Ohio and were from Holland originally. After his second marriage Mr. Wyland moved to Mer- cer County, Ohio, where he remained until 1832 and then moved to Goshen, Elkhart County, Indiana, where his wife died in 1858. They reared a large family of sons and daughters, named as follows-Catherine (de- ceased), Rachel (deceased), William, Isaac P., Mary (deceased), Christian J., Lovina, Bar- bara, Jasper Newton, who was a soldier from Shelby County, Iowa, member of Company I, Ninth Iowa Cavalry, and who died from wounds received July, 1864, at Duval's Bluff; the other children are-David M., Thomas Jefferson and Elizabeth. In Indiana Mr Wyland followed farming and milling, own- ing a woolen-mill, flouring mill and saw-mill and carrying on an extensive business in both. He first came to Shelby County in 1855 with his oldest son, William, and at that time en- tered a large tract of land, including a half section in Shelby County and a full section in Pottawattamie County; he afterward pur- chased 200 acres in that county and a good sized traet in what is now Shelby County, in addition to that entered there. After enter- ing this land he returned to Indiana and re- mained until May, 1861, when he moved to Shelby County, coming overland, bringing his effects in three two-horse wagons and driving several cows. The journey consumed three weeks, aud, like all journeys of that day, was very tedious as there were no bridges and very little improvement along the way. They crossed the Mississippi at Davenport, Iowa. Mr. Wyland furnished the means with which to build the first saw-mill in the eastern part of the county, the same being erected at Bowman's Grove. It was put into operation in 1857, the machinery being hauled by team from Iowa City. While on his first trip to
Iowa our subject received a paralytic stroke from which he had much trouble and which finally caused his death, May 28, 1864, while stopping with one of his daughters on a farm four miles from Goshen, Indiana. He was a man of rugged constitution and full of energy, having always been a hard-worker at what- ever he undertook to accomplish. He was a faithful member of the Dunkard or German Baptist church. He never songht public office, but was one of the Elkhart County, Indiana, commissioners for a term of fourteen years. A number of his children are among the most highily esteemed and public-spirited men of Shelby County at the present time; sketches of them will be found elsewhere in this volume.
