In a town like Shell Rock, where a con- siderable amount of business is transacted, many persons come and go, engaging fre- quently for a time in some branch of trade. Mention is made here of a number who have been more or less prominently identi-

fied with the business interests of the town:

William Adair, one of the pioneers of this part of Butler county, is the fourth son of William and Mary (Rollston) Adair, and was born near Lexington, Virginia, on the 8th day of April, 1818. In 1826 the family moved to Jefferson county, Ohio, where they remained three years and then located in La Grange county, Indiana, and here his mother died of consumption in the year 1831. During the year 1837, the family came west and settled in Cedar county, Iowa, where Wilton Junction now stands and in this year also, his remaining parent died. William remained here-two years and then located near where Cedar Rapids now stands, west of Marion. However, at that time there was not a house in the place, and the only building at Marion was one log cabin. Here he lived until the spring of 1855, when he came to Shell Rock. The fall before he had entered land on section 10 and soon after his arrival, he in company with his brother George W., built the first grist mill erected in the town. Ever since his settlement here, Mr. Adair has closely identified himself with the interests of his chosen town, and has spent both time and money in procuring its advance- ment. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and has ever lent a help- ing hand in the building up and strengthen- ing of this, his favorite place of worship. He was married December 17, 1840, to Miss Sabrina Williams, and ten children have been born to them, four of whom are now living-Mary, now the wife of James Graham, of Shell Rock; Sabrina, wife of Andrew Countryman, of Ida county, Iowa;

Phoebe, wife of William Fields, of Mar- shaltown; Etta, now teaching at Clear Lake, Iowa. Mrs. Adair died February 17, 1863, and Mr. Adair subsequently mar- ried Miss Sarah E. Leonard. They have one child-Viola, now at home.

E. Town is a son of E. and Jane (Willis) Town. He was born in Franklin county, Vermont, April 15, 1832 He was brought up on a farm, and followed that occupation until 1855. In December, of that year, he arrived at Shell Rock, Iowa, and, during. the remainder of the winter, worked in the old saw mill. The next spring he began working, as a millwright, in the grist mill. In 1873 he embarked in the hardware trade, followed that business three years, and then engaged in the lumber and grain business for the same length of time. Mr. Town has held the offices of mayor and justice of the peace. He was married, in 1860, to Miss M. J. Adair, a daughter of George W. Adair. They have been blessed with seven children, five of whom are now liv- ing-Charles O., Ella L., Willis W., Dana E., and Flora E.

He arrived in Shell Rock, Butler county, Iowa, in 1863, and immedi- ately began the organization of the Bap- tist Church; and the neat church edifice

of that village, is largely due to his untir- ing efforts. After the society was organ -. ized, he was their pastor for six years. Since that time he has been pastor of numerous churches. He spent two years at Strawberry Point; three years at Janes- ville; two years at Plainfield; two years near Marble Rock, and three years near Clarksville.
