JOHN A. ZIMMERMAN.


John A. Zimmerman, one of the active and progressive farmers · and stock-raisers of Bennezette township, owning and operating three hundred and sixty-five acres of well improved and valuable land, was born in Johnson county, Iowa, August 9, 1862. His father, Christopher Zimmerman, was born in Switzerland, the land of the Alps, in 1813 and was reared in his native country. He later went to England, whence after five years he crossed the At- lantic to America. He located first in Virginia and from that state enlisted for service in the Mexican war. After his discharge he came to Iowa and located in Johnson county, where he mar- ried Miss Catherine Boller, born near the river Rhine in Germany. In 1854 Christopher Zimmerman purchased land in Linn county, buying three hundred and twenty acres, which he improved and cultivated for some time. He afterward sold this tract and re- turned to Johnson county, buying forty acres, to which he added from time to time until he was finally the proprietor of a farm of two hundred acres. He remained a resident of that locality for many years thereafter, dying upon his property June, 1893, when he was eighty years of age.


John A. Zimmerman was reared in Johnson county and ac- quired his education in the schools of Iowa City. He later learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed for three years, after which he spent a similar period of time as a butter maker. He re- mained in Iowa City until 1894 and then moved to Butler county, purchasing one hundred and sixty acres of land in Bennezette township. Upon this he built a small shanty, in which he lived while he carried on the work of opening up and improving his farm. From time to time he bought more land and has now exten-

sive holdings, owning three hundred and sixty-five acres. Upon this he has just completed the erection of a two story hollow-tile, rough cast finish residence, one of the finest and most modern in the county. He has a good barn, granary and hog house and other substantial buildings and the entire place is well improved in every particular. The fields are fenced and crossfenced and Mr. Zimmerman has also provided a grove and orchard. In addition to general farming he is a stock breeder and dealer on an extensive scale, raising pure-blooded Aberdeen Angus cattle, Duroc Jersey hogs and Percheron horses. He is a stockholder in the Farmers Cooperative Elevator Company at Aredale and was a promoter of the Bennezette Farmers Telephone Company.


On the 19th of March, 1890, Mr. Zimmerman married Miss Julia A. Parsons, and they have become the parents of seven chil- dren, Charles W., Minnie Etta, Fred, Kate, Wilbur, Nellie and Wanda. Mr. Zimmerman is a member of the blue lodge Masons and has passed through all the chairs of Zion Lodge, No. 32, I. O. O. F., of which he is past grand. He is a progressive republican but has never taken more than a citizen's interest in politics. He is interested in the cause of education and for a number of years past has been identified with school work as a director. He is one of the best known citizens of Bennezette township and his con- tributions to its general growth and development have been many and substantial.

JAMES E. MILLER.


James E. Miller needs no introduction to the readers of this volume, because of his long and close connection with the busi- ness and social interests of Butler county. For over thirty years he was closely and prominently identified with commercial activ- ity in Greene, but he now makes his home in Mason City, Iowa, where he is the correspondent and representative of Lamson Brothers & Company of Chicago. Mr. Miller is a member of the Chicago Board of Trade, clearing his business through Lamson Brothers & Company of Chicago. During all the years of his residence in Greene his activities touched closely the business and public interests of his community, and he was regarded as one of the prominent, influential and valued citizens.

state since 1856. He was born in Carroll county, Indiana, Janu- ary 7, 1853, and is a son of A. and Anna (Harter) Miller, the former a native of Ohio, in which state he was reared to man- hood. He afterward removed to Indiana, settling in Carroll county, where he engaged in farming for several years. In 1856 he started overland with team and wagons and took up his abode in Roundgrove, Floyd county, Iowa, just north of Greene. There he purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land within two and a half miles of the town and at once began to break the sod, fence and improve the fields and do all the other work necessary to opening up and cultivating a new farm. For several years thereafter he continued to engage in agricultural pursuits, but. in 1873 he sold his homestead and removed to Vernon county, Missouri, where he purchased four hundred acres of land. For nineteen years thereafter he cultivated this property, becoming prominent and influential in agricultural circles. He died upon his farm in 1892, having for three years survived his wife, who passed away in 1889.


James E. Miller was three years of age when he was brought by his parents to Iowa. He was reared on his father's farm in Floyd county and from early youth assisted in its operation, remaining at home until twenty-four years of age. He then pur- chased land in the same locality, which he cultivated for five years, and then traded for one hundred and twenty-five head of cattle, which he fattened and shipped to Chicago, realizing an excellent profit upon his stock.


During the time Mr. Miller owned his farm he engaged also in the hotel business in Greene, conducting a popular hostelry there for three years. He afterward established a grocery and general merchandise store there, and when he disposed of this engaged in the grain business. He erected a large elevator and for twenty-one years thereafter operated the elevator and con- tinued in the grain trade, which he conducted upon an extensive scale. In 1912 he disposed of his interests at Greene, but in the meantime, in 1900, had established an elevator at Independence and in 1901 a similar enterprise at Packard. He still owns these elevators but maintains his residence in Mason City, Iowa, where he is now the correspondent and representative of Lamson Broth- ers & Company of Chicago.


In Roundgrove, Iowa, in 1877, Mr. Miller married Miss Mary Martin, and they became the parents of four children. The eld- est, John W., is engaged in railroading in Glenwood, Minnesota,

W. F. is in the grain business at Packard. Anna Mabel married Harry Putnam, a rancher in Lordsburg, California. The young- est child, Gladys, is a student in the Greene high school. Mrs. Miller passed away in April, 1911. In September, 1912, Mr. Mil- ler was again married, his second union being with Mrs. Sophro- nia Knox, of Greene, Iowa.


Mr. Miller is affiliated with the republican party and has held various offices of public trust and responsibility. He served for two terms on the town board, was for seven years town marshal and was for five years deputy sheriff during the same time. In addition to this he has served as delegate to numerous county conventions. He is well known in fraternal circles, holding mem- bership in the Masonic blue lodge at Greene and in the Eastern Star, to which his wife also belonged. In 1875 he joined the local lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, an organiza- tion which at that time had five degrees instead of three. Mr. Miller is past grand of the subordinate lodge and is also a charter member of the Knights of Pythias. He and his wife belonged to the Methodist Episcopal church, of which Mr. Miller has been steward for years. He was formerly numbered among the most prominent and public-spirited citizens of Greene and this posi- tion he gained through many years of upright living and straight- forward dealing, but in August, 1913, he removed to Mason City, where he and his wife now make their home, Mr. Miller's busi- ness project being a large and important one.


HENRY FREY.


Henry Frey, a farmer of Washington township, owning two hundred acres of excellent land, was born in Germany, January 30, 1871. He acquired his education in the public schools of Germany and Illinois, having been but eleven years of age when his parents came to America. He stayed with his parents and helped in the farm work, continuing thus until he was twenty-one, when he entered the College of Commerce in Freeport, Illinois. Upon the completion of his course he engaged in teaching, fol- lowing this occupation for three years. In 1893 he and his brother Harm purchased a threshing outfit and after they had operated this for seven years Mr. Frey of this review rented land. In 1898 he bought eighty acres in Butler county and to this he

has added from time to time until he now owns two hundred acres. He raises hay, corn and oats and is also interested in stock breeding, keeping twenty-five head of cattle, sixty hogs and eight horses.


In Washington township, on the 1st of April, 1895, Mr. Frey was united in marriage to Miss Gertie Van Loh, a daughter of George Van Loh, a farmer, who passed away at the age of twenty- four years. Mr. Frey is independent in his political views and has served as township trustee and president of the school board. He is numbered among the representative citizens, devotes con- siderable of his time to gospel ministry and kindred work and has the esteem and confidence of an extensive circle of friends.


EDWIN L. NORTON.


For almost sixty years Edwin L. Norton has been a resident of Butler county and is one of its extensive landowners. His home place, known as the Oak Ridge Stock Farm, is located at Nortons Corners on section 32, Shell Rock township, and there he engages in raising high-grade stock, including horses, cattle and hogs. He has now traveled life's journey for seventy-five years and as one of the pioneer settlers of this locality, his memory forms a connecting link between the primitive past and the progressive present.


A native of Ohio, he was born in Cuyahoga county, on the 15th of August, 1838, and is a son of Lyman and Hannah (Gates) Norton, who were also natives of the Buckeye state. In 1842 they removed to De Kalb county, Illinois, and in the fall of 1854 the father arrived in Butler county, Iowa, settling in the district which became known as Nortons Corners in Shell Rock township. There he resided until 1862, when he went to Missouri, but after a short time returned to De Kalb county, Illinois, where his last days were spent, reaching the venerable age of eighty-four years. The mother also died in De Kalb county, but before the family re- moved to Iowa. The father afterward married again and his second wife died in De Kalb county. Lyman Norton was a farmer and also worked at the carpenter's trade to some extent. In antebellum days he was a strong opponent of slavery and when the republican party was formed to prevent its further extension, he became one of its strong advocates.

HISTORY OF BUTLER COUNTY


In the family were three daughters and four sons born of the first marriage: Ann, who became the wife of Frank Stevens and is now a widow living in Shabbona, Illinois; Melissa, who became the wife of John Smith and died in Oregon in 1910; Laura, who became the wife of Alby (Mose) Robinson and died in this county ; Edwin L .; Byron and William, who enlisted in Missouri for serv- ice in the Civil war, the former being killed in battle, while the latter was mortally wounded in a conflict and died a few days after reaching home; and Le Roy, who has been superintendent of schools during the greater part of his life and now makes his home in Michigan. There were also seven children born of the father's second marriage.


Edwin L. Norton was a youth of about fourteen years at the time of his mother's death and in 1854, when sixteen years of age, he came with his father to Butler county, where he has since lived with the exception of a few months spent in Kansas. He has always followed farming and now owns about four hundred acres of rich and valuable land. His home is situated on section 32, Shell Rock township and he has two hundred and forty acres on sections 5 and 6, Beaver township. The two farms are only about a half mile apart. The purpose to which the home place is largely devoted has given to it the name of the Oak Ridge Stock Farm, for here Mr. Norton raises high-grade stock, including cattle, horses and hogs. His political support is given to the republican party and he keeps well informed on the questions and issues of the day but does not seek nor desire office, having always preferred to concentrate his energies upon his business affairs which, capably managed, have brought to him success.


In 1861 Mr. Norton was married to Miss Mary M. Waters, who was born in Cortland county, New York, in 1844, her parents being Servetus and Mercy (Helm) Waters, natives of Connecti- cut and New York respectively. They removed to De Kalb county, Illinois, when Mrs. Norton was ten years of age and in 1858 came to this county, where both passed away when well advanced in years. The father died in 1892 in his ninetieth year and the mother when eighty-four years of age. They were the parents of seven children: Amos, who died in Oregon; Abner, who died in Denver, Colorado; Alzina, who became the wife of John Robins and died in this county; Elnora, who became the wife of Olen Stevens and both died in Illinois; Joseph, of Seattle, Washington; Julius, who was killed at the battle of Pleasant Hill while serv- ing in the Civil war; and Mrs. Norton.

HISTORY OF BUTLER COUNTY


Four children were born unto Mr. and Mrs. Norton: Florence became the wife of M. G. Parks and died at the age of twenty-two years, leaving a daughter, Blanche, who is now the wife of Milton Willey, of Shell Rock township, by whom she has three children: Margaret; and twins, born in December, 1913. Byron, the second member of the Norton family, resides upon and operates the home farm. He married Eva Church, who was born September 3, 1873, and died May 5, 1910. They became the parents of seven children: Earl, Madge, Lois, Ruth, Vera, and Harry and Howard, twins. Estella Norton, the third member of the family, became the wife of M. G. Parks of Albion township and they have three children: Leland, Edith and Harland. Maude, the fourth member of the family, is the wife of Clyde Bolton, living on her father's farm in Beaver township, and they have one son, Wayne.


No history of this county would be complete without mention of Edwin L. Norton, so long has he resided in this district. There were few white settlers living in Butler county at the time of his arrival and the Indians were still numerous in some sections. Land was largely unclaimed and uncultivated but the soil was naturally rich and productive and offered excellent opportunities to the farmer. Mr. Norton has lived to witness all the changes which have since occurred-changes wrought by time and man, and he can relate many interesting incidents concerning the his- tory of the county from pioneer times to the present.


THOMAS H. MCCARTY.


Thomas H. McCarty, engaged in general farming, dairying and stock-raising upon three hundred acres of excellent land on sections 11 and 12, Beaver township, was born in Ireland, June 14, 1858. He is a son of Thomas and Bridget (Deonje) Mc- Carty, also natives of the Emerald isle, the former born in 1821. The parents came to America in 1855 and settled in Bremer county, where the father passed away. His wife afterward moved to Beaver township, this county, where her death occurred in 1898. She and her husband had eight children, of whom the sub- ject of this review is the only one surviving.


Thomas H. McCarty acquired his education in the public schools of Beaver township, attending until he was fifteen years of age. He afterward worked upon the farm and in 1898, when

his mother died, inherited the homestead to which he has since added until he now owns three hundred acres. He raises all kinds of small grain, but gives special attention to dairying and stock-raising, keeping eighty head of cattle, mostly Durhams and one hundred hogs. He sells in the local markets and has made his stock-raising interests an important source of income to him.


Mr. McCarty is a stockholder in the Farmer's State Bank at Shell Rock and in the Union Creamery in Blackhawk county. He is independent in his political beliefs and served one term with credit and ability as school director. His religious views are in accord with the doctrines of the Roman Catholic church. His industry, integrity and enterprise are the qualities upon which he has founded his success and this places him today among the representative and valued citizens of the community.


THOMAS P. WAUDBY, D. V. S.


Dr. Thomas P. Waudby is numbered among the foremost vet- erinary surgeons in Butler county and since 1873 has been in the active practice of his profession in Aplington. He was born in DeKalb county, Illinois, April 4, 1848, and is a son of Robert and Orrey T. (Norton) Waudby, the former born in England in 1815 and the latter born in 1825. The father moved to Illinois in 1843 and died in that state in 1893. His wife survived him until 1900. In their family were eight children: Frank, de- ceased; Thomas P .; William F., who has also passed away; Rob- ert; Adelaide; Mary J., deceased; Lovisa, and Isabelle.


Thomas P. Waudby acquired his early education in the public schools of DeKalb county, Illinois. He enlisted for the Civil war as a member of Company A, Forty-sixth Iowa Volunteer Infantry, serving for one hundred days. After his discharge at Davenport, Iowa, he was thanked personally for his services by President Lincoln. He afterward reenlisted in the Sixth Iowa Cavalry and at the close of hostilities in 1865 was mustered out at Sioux City. After his return he entered the Iowa State Veteri- nary College at Dubuque and in 1873 began the practice of his profession at Aplington, where he has since resided. He has met with excellent success, for he understands his work in principle and detail and is conscientious and thorough in his treatment of a case.
