He has added to his property from time to time until he has heeome the owner of eleven hundred aeres of valuable farm land. a part of which is in Madison county. He has always made a specialty of raising and feeding stoek and he has added to his place many fine improvements in the way of good buildings, while he has likewise planted a grove and orehard. In 1870 he married Miss Mary Eusebia Rigg, who was born in Marion county, Iowa, and they have beeome parents of seven children. Arthur, George. Edna. Frank. Joe, Harry and Eva.

same profession followed by his father, he entered the Chicago Medical College and was graduated from that institution with the degree of M. D. in 1904. Subsequently he spent six months in hospital praetiee in the western metropolis and then opened an office at Bridgewater, Iowa, where he resided until 1908. In that year he came to Fontanelle and has here remained continuously sinee, enjoying a practice which has steadily grown in volume and importance as he has demonstrated his skill and ability in coping with the intricate problems which ever confront the physician in his efforts to restore health and prolong life. With the constant progress of the pro- fession he keeps in close touch through his membership in the Adair County Medieal Society and the Iowa State Medical Society.

HARVEY ANDREW HUBBARD.
Harvey Andrew Hubbard, a well known stock breeder and farmer living on seetion 30, Walnut township, is a careful man of business who has displayed sound judgment in the conduct of his affairs and who today has one of the valuable and productive farm properties of the county. He was born in Lee township, Madison county, Iowa, June 21, 1869, and is a son of Peter and Mary Elizabeth (Lee) Hub- bard. The father, a native of Indiana, is of German and English deseent, while his wife, who was also born in the Hoosier state, is of French lineage. They were married in Madison county, Iowa, the father having removed thither with his parents when but six years of age. He was reared to the occupation of farming and shared with the family in the experiences of frontier life. Eventually he came to Adair county, settling thirty-three years ago in Walnut township, where he purchased land. With characteristic energy he began the development and improvement of his place and continued to devote his life to farming there until 1903, when he sold that property and went to Guthrie county, Iowa, where he engaged in farming for two years. He next established his home in Daviess county, Missouri, where he carried on general agricultural pursuits for ten years, after which he retired and took up his abode in Guthrie Center, Iowa, where he and his wife now reside. Long residence in this part of the state and the possession of sterling traits of character have won for them high and enduring regard.
Harvey A. Hubbard was educated in the common sehools and remained at home until he attained his majority, assisting in the work of the farm. The early expe- rience which he had in that connection well qualified him to take up farm work on his own account when he started out in life independently. For four years he rented land in Walnut township and after his marriage lived for two years with his wife's people in Cedar county, Iowa, farming her father's land. In 1896, however, he
436
HISTORY OF ADAIR COUNTY
returned to Walnut township and purchased his present farm of eighty aeres, on which he has made all of the improvements, including the erection of a splendid new residence in 1914. This is one of the attractive homes of his part of the county. It is commodious, is built in pleasing style of architecture and affords to the family all of the comforts of the model home. Mr. Hubbard is engaged both in general farming and stock-raising and in 1904 he began the breeding of registered shorthorn eattle. He raises full blooded stock and today owns a fine herd of twenty-five head of regis- tered cattle. He sells cattle for the breeding market and there is always demand for all that he raises. He likewise feeds a few hogs and he owns a Percheron stal- lion, Klauk 103600 (96049), which is a magnificent animal that was imported from France in 1914. Mr. Hubbard is recognized as one of the most enterprising, progres- sive and successful cattle and horse breeders of Adair county.
On the 3d of October, 1893, Mr. Hubbard was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Alice Handley, a daughter of Samuel and Nancy Ruth (Foster) Handley, both of whom were natives of West Virginia, the former of Irish descent and the latter of Dutch and Irish ancestry. In 1857 they came to Iowa, loeating in Cedar county, where the father purchased land and carried on agricultural pursuits throughout the remainder of his life. He passed away on the 21st of December, 1893, having for only five days survived his wife, who died on the 16th of that month. Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard have no children of their own but adopted two little ones, William Charles, seven years of age, and Cornelius Jesse, aged six. They were taken from the Chris- tian Orphans' Home at Council Bluffs, Iowa, and have found a most attractive, pleas- ant home with Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard. They are manly little fellows and the love and care given them by their foster parents has won in return the deepest love of the children.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard are members of the Christian church and are most loyal to their professions. Mrs. Hubbard belongs to the Willing Workers of the Friends church of Walnut township and her life is fraught with many good deeds and characterized by a most kindly spirit. In politics Mr. Hubbard is independent, voting for men and measures rather than for party. His fellow townsmen, appre- ciative of his worth, have called him to several local offices. He served as constable in Walnut township for four years, was trustee for three years, township clerk for two years and a director in the home school district for one year. It is well known that he stands for progress and improvement along all lines leading to the develop- ment and upbuilding of township and county. He is reliable as well as enterprising in business, progressive in citizenship, loyal in friendship and most faithful to the ties of home and family. Thus possessing many excellent traits of character, he is esteemed by all who know him.
CHARLEY L. WALTZ.
For nearly three decades Charley L. Waltz has resided within the borders of Adair county, being now widely recognized as one of its successful farmers and promi- nent stockmen and owning one hundred and sixty acres of valuable land on seetion 22, Union township. His birth occurred in Morris, Illinois, on the 28th of November,

HISTORY OF ADAIR COUNTY
1877, his parents being Adam and Janc (Gravatte) Waltz, a record of whom appears elsewhere.
Charley L. Waltz remained on the home farm until twenty-three years of age and, assisting his father in the work of the fields, gained practical knowledge of the best methods of tilling the soil and caring for crops. Starting out as an agri- culturist on his own account, he purchased one hundred and twenty acres of land in Union township, this county, but disposed of the property two years later and bought a tract of one hundred and sixty acres on section 22, Union township. which he has operated continuously to the present time and has brought to a high state of cultivation and improvement. The place is lacking in none of the conveniences and accessories of a model farm of the twentieth century and the exceptionally good buildings thereon include a comfortable residence for hired help. Mr. Waltz makes a specialty of raising thoroughbred stock, including English Shire and Norman horses, Hereford cattle and Poland China hogs. He has won first and second prizes on his English Shire stock at the Iowa state fair, now owns some of the finest horses of that breed in Iowa and will doubtless soon be able to compete with any of the stockmen of the state. He is a member of the English Shire Association of America.
On the 15th of February, 1899, Mr. Waltz was joined in wedlock to Miss Mary Gibson, who was born in Illinois, February 10, 1875, her father being Noah Gibson, who came from Illinois to Adair county, this state, in 1882 and settled in Union township. He was an honored veteran of the Civil war and lived in the same vicinity as Mr. and Mrs. Waltz until his demise, which occurred in June, 1908. Our subject and his wife are valued members of the Hill of Zion Christian church, taking an active and helpful part in its work. They are well known throughout the community and justly merit the high regard and esteem which are uniformly accorded them.
EARL R. WALTZ.
Earl R. Waltz, who carries on general farming, was born on the place where he now resides, on section 28, Union township, his natal day being November 16, 1888. He is a son of Adam and Jane (Gravatte) Waltz, both of whom were natives of Pennsylvania, but became residents of Illinois, where their marriage occurred. Afterward they removed to eastern Iowa, where they lived until the early '80s, when they arrived in Adair county, taking up their abode upon the farm which is now the property of their son Earl. The father acquired five hundred and twenty acres of land, of which he still owns one hundred and eighty acres, having deeded the remainder to his two sons, Charles L. and Earl R. For many years he was actively and successfully engaged in farming but in 1911 removed to Union county, living in. the suburbs of Creston, where he owns a small place of ten acres. He feels that this is a sufficient amount for one of his years to care for and moreover, he desires to enjoy the fruits of his former toil.
Earl R. Waltz was reared in Union township and supplemented his early ednca- tion acquired in the district schools by study in the Orient high school and by a Vol. II-21

HISTORY OF ADAIR COUNTY
commercial course in Creston Business College. When his textbooks were put aside he returned to the farm and upon his father's removal to Creston received a deed to eighty aeres of land. He also purchased an adjoining traet of eighty aeres, so that his farm at the present time comprises one hundred and sixty acres, on which stands the old homestead, a handsome residence. There is also a large modern barn built by him and other up-to-date improvements which indicate his progressive spirit. In addition to tilling the soil in the development of the erops best adapted to con- ditions here he makes a specialty of raising thoroughbred Hereford eattle and Shire horses.
In 1911 Mr. Waltz was married to Miss Jessie Brown, a daughter of Frank D. Brown, then of Union township. Adair county, but now a resident of Idaho. Mr. and Mrs. Waltz have become parents of a son, Dale Monte. The parents are members of the Christian church and in his political faith Mr. Waltz is a republican. He is one of the progressive and enterprising young farmers of Union township, meeting with success, which is the ultimate outcome of well directed labor.
D. L. CLARK.
One hundred and sixty aeres of land in Lee township pays tribute to its owner, D. L. Clark. He was born in Greenwood county, Kansas, July 13, 1872, of the mar- riage of George F. and Matilda A. (Dinsmore) Clark. His parents, who were natives respectively of New Hampshire and of Ohio, removed to Wisconsin in early manhood and womanhood and there their marriage occurred. The father served throughout the Civil war as a member of the Fourth Wisconsin Mounted Infantry and was wounded in the left leg in the battle of Fort Hudson. He was mustered out at Wash- ington with the rank of captain. Following the restoration of peace he returned to Wiseonsin, but later removed with his family to Kansas, whence, in 1883, he came to Adair county, Iowa. Later he took up his residence in North Dakota, where he proved up a elaim which he later sold, subsequently removing to Westplains, Mis- souri, where he and his wife are still residing. Four of their five children survive.
D. L. Clark attended the publie schools in the aequirement of an education. He was early trained to agricultural pursuits and remained at home, giving his father the benefit of his labor, until he was thirty years of age. He was then married and for two years rented the homestead. He has continued to follow agricultural pur- snits and in 1913 he bought the quarter section on seetion 26, Lee township, which he is now farming. He raises grain to some extent but gives the greater part of his attention to stoek-raising, as he finds that business profitable. He raises all kinds of stoek but specializes in the feeding of hogs for the market.
Mr. Clark married Miss Rozena E. Warrior, a native of Wisconsin and a daugh- ter of Henry and Laura E. Warrior, further mention of whom appears elsewhere in this work. Mrs. Clark taught school for some years previous to her marriage.
Both he and his wife belong to the Methodist Episcopal church. As a farmer and stoek-raiser Mr. Clark is progressive and efficient, as a citizen publie-spirited and as a man he eonforms his life to the highest ethical standards.

HISTORY OF ADAIR COUNTY
FRANK RAMSBOTTOM.
Frank Ramsbottom, who makes his home on section 20, Union township, has become the owner of five hundred and sixty acres of valuable land since starting out as an agriculturist on his own account more than three decades ago. His birth occurred in Waushara county, Wisconsin, on the 25th of August, 1863, his parents being John and Ellen (Foster) Ramsbottom, of whom more extended mention is made on another page of this work in connection with the sketch of Henry Ramsbottom, a brother of our subject.
Frank Ramsbottom was a youth of twelve years when the family home was estab- lished in Adair county and has remained within its borders continuously since. He began his education in the district schools of his native state and attended school for three winter terms after coming to this county. When in his nineteenth year he started out upon an independent career and was employed by the month for a year, at the end of which time he purchased a team and broke prairie, also beginning farm- ing for himself in a small way. In 1885, when a young man of twenty-two years. he came into possession of his first land. buying an eighty-acre tract on section 29, Union township, in association with his brother Wallace. Subsequently they bought eighty acres of land adjoining and then divided their holdings, Frank Ramsbottom taking one eighty-acre tract and his brother the other. In later years our subject has pur- chased other property from time to time until he now owns five hundred and sixty acres of rich and productive land. He makes a specialty of raising registered short- horn cattle and in both his farming and live-stock interests has won gratifying suc- cess, enjoying an enviable reputation as one of the substantial and representative agriculturists of the county.
In 1896 Mr. Ramsbottom was united in marriage to Miss Marie Campbell, by whom he had two children, Edward and Mary. The wife and mother passed away in 1900 and six years later Mr. Ramsbottom was again married, his second union being with Miss Eva Cochran, of Talmage, Iowa. He gives his political allegiance to the democracy and has ably served as township assessor for two or three terms. In all his dealings he is thoroughly reliable and honorable and a worthy representative of that class of citizens who constitute the most forceful element of any community.
WASHINGTON I. DARROW.
Washington I. Darrow carries on general farming on section 30, Eureka town- ship, where he has lived continuously since 1903. He was born in Jones county, Iowa, in December, 1878, and is a son of George and Louisa (Smith) Darrow, both of whom were natives of New York. In an early day the father came to this state, settling in Dubuque county, where he engaged in farming for ten years. He then removed to Jones county, where he purchased land and improved a farm, continuing the cultivation and further development of that place throughout his remaining days. He died in January, 1910, while his wife, who survives, is yet living in Jones county.
Washington I. Darrow was reared and educated in Jones county and remained with his parents until he attained his majority. On starting out in life on his own account he worked as a farm hand for four years, but it was his ambition and his
444
HISTORY OF ADAIR COUNTY
purpose to engage in farming for himself and to that end he carefully saved his earnings. practicing economy as well as industry. In 1903 he came to Adair county and invested the capital which he had saved in eighty acres of land on section 30, Eureka township. Later he bought forty aeres adjoining and he at onee began to develop and improve his land. which he has since cultivated. The result of his labors is seen in good crops, which bring to him a gratifying annual income. His farm methods are practical and his unremitting labors bring him substantial returns.
- In February, 1903, Mr. Darrow was united in marriage to Miss Nettie J. Head, a daughter of Edward and Mahala (Mayberry) Head, natives of Jackson county, lowa. Her parents removed to Jones county at an carly day, since which time her father has there engaged in the development and improvement of an excellent farm. The mother, however, has passed away. To Mr. and Mrs. Darrow has been born one child, Edward I., now eleven years of age.
The parents are Baptists in their religious faith and are loyal to the teachings of the church. In his political views Mr. Darrow is a republican and keeps well in- formed concerning the chief political problems of the country, but he does not seek nor desire office, feeling that his time is fully occupied by his farming interests. He has worked earnestly and persistently as the years have gone on and his efforts have been attended by a gratifying measure of success.
HENRY H. BUTTS.
Henry H. Butts, engaged in farming on section 29, Union township, was born in Pontiac, Michigan. on the 25th of September, 1812, his parents being Henry and Cornelia E. (Hinman) Butts, natives of Pennsylvania and New York respectively. They were married in the latter state and soon afterward removed to Thunder Bay Island, where they spent the summer months but lived in Pontiac, Michigan, during the winter seasons. When on Thunder Bay Island the father was engaged in fishing in Lake Huron, spending several years in that way. In 1848 he removed to Evans- ville, Indiana, where he conducted business as a dyer and tailor, there opening a tailor shop and afterward establishing the first steam dye house in the town. He continued a resident of Evansville until called to his final rest.
Henry H. Butts was a lad of only fourteen years when he came to lowa and for fourteen years he made his home with an uncle, A. C. Hinman, a farmer of Johnson county, and later a merchant of Iowa City. Mr. Butts began his education in the public schools of Evansville, Indiana, and continued his studies in the Iowa City schools. In 1871 he arrived in Adair county and took up his abode upon the farm which is now his home. He had visited the county the previous fall and had purchased the land from his uncle, Chauncey Hinman. This traet of one hundred and sixty aeres had been entered by an aunt on two soldiers warrants of the War of 1812 and has never been out of possession of the family. Not only is II. H. Butts descended from ancestors who served in the War of 1812 but also from those who fought for independence in the Revolutionary war. One of his great-grand- mothers on his mother's side, a Mrs. Bailey, at the time of the Revolutionary war, when a battle was in progress and the soldiers had no wadding for their guns, took off her woolen petticoat, tore it into strips and thus furnished the soldiers the necessary
445
HISTORY OF ADAIR COUNTY
wadding, thereby winning the day for the Continental troops. The government later rewarded her by making her postmistress in Middlebury, Connecticut, for life, and she lived to be one hundred years old.
Mr. Butts has resided on his present farm for forty-four years and is now the owner of four hundred and eighty acres, which for some years has been cultivated by his two youngest sons. Industry has ever been one of the chief traits of his character. He has worked hard and after gaining a start, so directed his efforts that his labors brought him substantial return. His property is now valuable and brings him a gratifying annual income. His fields have been carefully tilled and the work of the farm has been carried forward in keeping with the progressive spirit of the times.
In August, 1871, Mr. Butts was married to Miss Fannie Smith, of Orient town- ship, a daughter of Michael Smith, who came to Adair county from Ohio some time in the '60s. Mr. and Mrs. Butts are the parents of nine children, of whom five are yet living: Lawrence, a resident farmer of Union county; Delmer and Ernest, who are carrying on the home place; Pearl, the wife of C. J. Weston, living with her father ; and Elsie, the wife of Nelson Brooks, a farmer of Clarke county.
Since age conferred upon him the right of franchise Mr. Butts has been an earnest advocate of republican principles. He has long been recognized as one of the substantial residents of Adair county and as a citizen of worth, for he has ever supported and advocated those measures which are of value in producing a higher standard of citizenship and in furthering the best interests of the community. He has almost reached the seventy-third milestone on life's journey but while his sons now actively operate the farm he still gives personal supervision thereto and it is not unusual to find him busily employed with some work which improves conditions upon his place.
WILLIAM STEELE.
William Steele, a successful farmer and stockman living on section 19, Eureka township, was born March 28, 1876, in La Salle county, Illinois, a son of John and Jeanette (Sharp) Steele. The father was born in England and was a coal miner. The mother was a native of Scotland and they were married in La Salle, Illinois. With his parents John Steele crossed the Atlantic and went to Morris, Illinois, where he worked in the mines, devoting his entire life to that occupation. He died in Chi- cago after an operation, but his widow survives and yet makes her home in Morris.
William Steele continued under the parental roof until he reached adult age but earned his living before attaining his majority. He was educated in the common schools and at twenty-one years of age began working as a farm hand, in which man- ner he was employed for three years. In 1900 he came to Adair county, Iowa, and for four years cultivated rented farms in Eureka township, but during that period care- fully saved his earnings, as it was his desire to own a farm. His diligence and economy at length enabled him to realize his hope and he purchased one hundred and sixty acres on section 19, Eureka township, where he now resides. He immediately located upon that place and has since made it his home, devoting his time to general farming, including the raising of both grain and stock. He now has a well improved
446
HISTORY OF ADAIR COUNTY
farm property, thoroughly modern in its equipment and lacking in none of the aeces- sories and conveniences of the model farm of the twentieth century. The buildings are commodious and substantial, the fields are well tilled and the farm machinery is of the latest invention.
On the 20th of February, 1900, Mr. Steele was married to Miss Callie Butt, a daughter of Benjamin and Mary Ann (Cook) Butt. both of whom were natives of Gloucestershire, England, and were descended from old English families. They were married there and eame to the United States in 1865, settling in Joliet, Illinois, where for many years Mr. Butt was employed as an engineer in the steel mills. His wife died in Joliet twenty-one years ago and in 1900 he came to Adair county, where he has sinee made his home with his daughter Mrs. Steele. To Mr. and Mrs. Steele have been born four children: Lewis, who was born November 17, 1900; La Verne, Sep- tember 9, 1905 ; Phillis, April 24, 1909; and Merritt, August 21, 1912. The children are attending the publie school near their home.
Mr. Steele is recognized as one of the stalwart republicans of his part of the county, doing active, earnest and effective work to advance the interests of the party. He has served for five terms as school director in district No. 1, but is not filling the position at the present time. Fraternally he is connected with the Odd Fellows lodge and Modern Woodmen eamp at Anita. All other interests, however, are subservient to his chosen life work and he is meeting with success in the cultivation of his fields and in the breeding, raising and feeding of hogs and cattle. His business judgment is sound and his clear insight into trade transactions enables him to conduet all busi- ness with profit, yet in his dealings he has never been known to take advantage of the necessities of his fellowmen.
