Their only child was Fred Neumayer, the subject of this review. He acquired his education in the common schools of Ottawa, Illinois, and after laying aside his text-books devoted his entire attention to farming, hav- ing become thoroughly familiar with that occupation when assisting his father in the operation of the home farm. He accompanied his parents on their removal to Carroll county, Iowa, in 1872, and is still living on a part of the old homestead, his father having purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land in 1868. To this our subject has added until he now owns eight hundred and forty acres of land in Carroll county, besides a tract of four hundred acres in Oklahoma.
On the 30th of October, 1888, Mr. Neumayer was united in marriage to Miss Josephine Thieleke, a daughter of Anton and Marie (Busse) Thiel- eke, both of whom died in Westphalia, Germany. It was in 1881 that Mrs. Neumayer came to the United States in company with her sister, Mrs. Wittemayer. She had one brother who served in the Civil war and lost a leg in battle. To Mr. and Mrs. Neumayer have been born five sons and they also have an adopted daughter, namely, Charles A., Joseph R., Al- bert J., Leo W., 'Anthony A. and Clara.
Mr. Neumayer is a Catholic in religious belief and is a member of the Roman Catholic Protective Association, while in politics he is a democrat. He has always taken an active and helpful interest in public affairs and for eleven years served as township trustee, while at present he is a mem- ber of the board of supervisors of Carroll county. He is one of the most progressive and enterprising citizens of the community and in business affairs has met with remarkable success.
CYRENIUS EVANS MORRIS.
Cyrenius Evans Morris who for twenty-eight years has acceptably ad- ministered the office of justice of the peace and notary public at Coon Rapids and is one of the successful business men of the community, was born in New York city July 9, 1842, and traces his ancestry back to Lewis Morris, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He is a son of Crowell E. and Nancy P. (Von Vooris) Morris, the former of whom was born at Woodbridge, New Jersey, and the latter at White Plains, New York. The father was reared at Rahway, New Jersey, and learned the trade of carriage-making, which he followed for four or five years. He then operated a livery stable for a time on Christopher street, in New York city. He became an extensive traveler and made two trips to Cali-

fornia, going around Cape Horn. During his first stay on the Pacific coast he engaged in mining, but the next time he went to California, prof- iting by his earlier experience, he operated a blacksmith shop. In 1854 he moved with his family to a farm near Galena, Illinois, and later took up his residence at Warren, where he continued to live until his death, in 1901, at the age of seventy-three years. His widow came to Coon Rapids, Iowa, and resided with her son, Cyrenius Evans, until she was called from earthly scenes, at the age of eighty-nine years. She was a consistent mem- ber of the Methodist church and a woman of many sterling character- istics. In the family of Mr. and Mrs. Morris were eight sons and two daughters, seven of whom are now living: Cyrenius Evans; Helen R., who married Rufus B. Tucker, of Pasadena, California; Nathaniel V. and John H., both of whom were soldiers in the Civil war and are now deceased ; Harvey A., a resident of Pasadena; George V., of Payette, Idaho; Frank A., of Rathdum, Washington; Julia A., who died early in life; and Crow- ell E. and William E., both of whom are residents of Pasadena.
The paternal grandfather of our subject was Cyrenius Morris, a native of New York, who became a saddler and harness-maker. His wife was Hetty Evans, a granddaughter of Reuben Evans, who was an admiral in the Revolutionary war. Cyrenius Morris died in New Jersey and his wife in New York state, but they are buried in an old cemetery at Woodbridge, New Jersey. They had seven children : William E., John E., Crowell E., Julia Ann, Mary A., Catharine E., and Jane. The grandfather on the maternal side was Nathaniel Von Vooris, a native of White Plains, West- chester county, New York, and of Holland Dutch descent. He married Margaret Dexter, who was a daughter of Colonel Dexter of the Revolu- tionary war. She lived to be ninety years of age and died at White Plains. In their family were seven children, Harvey V., Albert V., Nancy P., Hester, Louis V., George V., and Merrill V.
Mr. Morris of this review was twelve years of age when he removed with his parents to Galena, Illinois, and he passed the following six years upon his father's farm. On September 4, 1861, he enlisted in Company A, of an Independent Battalion of Fremont Rangers at Galena, and served with this command until November 11, 1861, when he reenlisted for three years in Company G, Third Missouri Cavalry. He was in the battles of Pea Ridge, Little Rock, Jenkins Ferry and Camden, Arkansas, and in many lesser engagements, being wounded in a skirmish with Quantrell's Guerrillas, but not seriously. After the close of the war he opened a har- ness shop at Nora, three miles east of Warren, Illinois, and bought har- ness trimmings of Jesse Grant, of Galena, the father of General U. S. Grant. He is a member of Jo Daviess County Soldiers' Monument Asso- ciation, and his certificate of membership is signed by General Grant as president of the association. Later he engaged in farming near Warren. In 1869 he was attracted to Iowa and purchased a farm of eighty acres in Union township, Carroll county. 'After disposing of this property he bought from the county supervisors the old Price place of two hundred acres, which he improved, and sold in 1906. He still owns eighty acres

of productive land in Guthrie county. In 1880 he removed to Coon Rap- ids and associated with J. S. Putnam in a general store which they oper- ated for eight or ten years. Under President Harrison he was appointed postmaster of Coon Rapids, a position which he filled for five years. He has been justice of the peace for twenty-eight years, and on account of his genial manner and consistent desire to promote the happiness of his fellowmen he has accomplished much good as a citizen and public official.
On the 6th of June, 1868, Mr. Morris was married to Miss Fannie Winship, a daughter of Joseph Warren and Martha (Lawton) Winship, and a native of Bradford, Vermont. Her grandmother was raised by General Joseph Warren of Revolutionary war fame. Mrs. Morris died in 1882 and on the 9th of June, 1886, Mr. Morris was married to Miss Etta Drusilla Dodge, who was born at Burnham, Maine, a daughter of Arnold and Drusilla (Trafton) Dodge. The father was born at Burnham and the mother at Norridgewock, Maine, being a niece of General Mark Trafton who gained his title in the Revolutionary war. The family is not lacking in patriotism as is indicated by the fact that Mr. Dodge and four brothers were soldiers for the Union in the Civil war. Three chil- dren have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Morris, all of whom possessed ex- cellent advantages of education. Cyrenius Trafton, the eldest of the chil- dren, attended Drake University and Highland Park College of Des Moines. Helen Lillian, the second in order of birth, is a graduate in domestic sci- ence of the Normal School at Cedar Falls. Mildred Anna, the youngest of the children, is now a student of the Coon Rapids high school.
Mr. Morris is not a member of any religious denomination but his wife is identified with the Methodist Episcopal church. He is prominent in the Masonic order and holds membership in Charity Lodge No. 197, A. F. & A. M., in which he served as master for twelve years and as sec- retary for twenty-two years. He belongs to Copestone Chapter No. 78, R. A. M., of Carroll, Iowa; to Godfrey Commandery No. 44, K. T., of Audubon, Ind; and to Za-Ga-Zig Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S. He is also a member and commander of Perry Wright Post, No. 188, G. A. R., of Coon Rapids. He organized this post June 25, 1883, and was its first commander. The Sons of Veterans of Coon Rapids named their camp the Cyrene E. Morris Camp, in honor of Mr. Morris. He is manager of the Coon Rapids Veteran Drum Corps which he organized in 1884 and which has the reputation of having never been equaled for soul-stirring. old-time martial music. General O. O. Howard, at Sioux Falls, South Dakota, who heard them play and sing patriotic songs, said as he grasped their hands, "Boys, that is the best ever in all my travels." They attend the state and national encampments. The corps is composed of : Lucian House, fife major, Thirty-fourth Illinois, aged seventy-two years; Cyrene E. Morris, Company A, Independent Battalion, Fremont Rangers, and Company G. Third Missouri Cavalry, aged sixty-nine years, bugler and bass drummer ; Norman D. Wilson, flag sergeant, One Hundred and Thir- ty-fourth Illinois, aged sixty-seven years; George W. Smith, snare drum- mer, Company I, Twenty-ninth Iowa, seventy-five years of age; Thomas

J. Smith, Company I, Twenty-ninth Iowa, sixty-nine years of age. They go everywhere and no charges are made if they do not give satisfaction. Mr. Morris was recently appointed on the state commander's staff as aide- de-camp to Captain Lot Abraham, state commander, is president of the Carroll County Soldiers' Relief Commission and has held this position as a member for the past fifteen years. Patriotism is one of the paramount features in his life, tangible evidence of which is found in the fact that he keeps Old Glory always flying from a flag-staff on his lawn.
Politically he adheres to the republican party and cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln. He has served for a number of terms as township assessor, township clerk, and also occupied the office of mayor pro tem of Coon Rapids. He is of an energetic temperament and takes a lively interest in anything that attracts his attention. He has through life been remarkably industrious and enterprising and is now reaping the reward of his labors. No man in Carroll county is more highly respected or pos- sesses more deeply the confidence and esteem of his associates than 'Squire Morris.
D. W. EARL.
An excellent farming property of Carroll county is the two hundred and eighty acre tract on section 10 of Sheridan township belonging to D. W. Earl. He was born in Rutland county, Vermont, on the 9th of October, 1837, his parents being Lawson and Rhoda (Barber) Earl, the father a native of Massachusetts and the mother of Vermont. Mr. Earl accompanied by his wife and family migrated to the west in 1845, locating in De Kalb, Illinois, which at that time contained but two houses. There the father died two years later, the mother, however, survived until 1880, her demise occurring in Carroll county. Ten children were born to them, all of whom are deceased with the exception of our subject. The order of their birth was as follows: William Elliott, who passed away in 1847; Emi- line; Harriet; Susan; William D .; John B .; Phoebe O .; Silas Newton and John T.
D. W. Earl, who was only a lad of eight years when his parents left Vermont, received the greater portion of his education in the common schools of De Kalb. After laying aside his school books, he continued a member of his mother's household until he had attained his majority, fol- lowing which he engaged in farming in De Kalb township, De Kalb county. He continued to be identified with agricultural pursuits coming from Illi- nois to Iowa in 1870. Settling in Carroll county he acquired two hundred and eighty acres of unimproved land in Sheridan township, which he im- mediately began to improve and cultivate. This farm, which was un- broken prairie when he first located on it, Mr. Earl has improved and brought to a high state of cultivation, and it is now considered one of the valuable properties of the county.

HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY
Mr. Earl was married in De Kalb, Illinois, January 23, 1878, to Miss Edna Hunt, and they have become the parents of two children. The eld- est, Edith, was married March 14, 1900, to B. J. Bradley and has two sons : Clyde, born May 12, 1903; and Guy, born July 5, 1908. Clara was married March 25, 1903, to S. G. Staples and they also have two sons: Clifford, born October 17, 1903; and Wilbur, born April 6, 1906. Mr. Staples is a native of Illinois, his birth occurring in Watseka, November II, 1878. His paternal grandparents were Sylvester G. and Mary (Barber) Staples, the Barber family having come to America with the Huguenot colony. His parents, W. A. and Isabella (Wilson) Staples, were natives of New York state and Middle Fork, Illinois, respectively. They came to Iowa in 1900 and located in Carroll county, the father taking up farming in Sheridan township, where they still reside. In their family are three sons, S. G. being the eldest. S. W. lives two miles south of Litterdale, while H. B. makes his home in Sheridan township. S. G. Staples and family at- tend the Presbyterian church and he is a member of the Knights of the Maccabees and the Brotherhood of American Yeomen. Both sons-in-law of our subject reside on his farm in Sheridan township and are engaged in its cultivation.
Mr. Earl cast his first ballot in support of Abraham Lincoln, and has ever since given his support to the candidates of that party. He served for three years as county supervisor and has also been treasurer and di- rector of the school board at various times. Fraternally he is identified with the Masonic order only, having joined in De Kalb, Illinois, in 1863, his membership still being retained in that lodge; he also belongs to the chapter at Lake City. Mr. Earl has met with success in his undertakings and is a highly esteemed and substantial citizen of Sheridan township.
HON. THOMAS RICH.
During a period of more than forty years the name of Rich has been prominently identified with the agricultural and political development of Carroll county. Its bearers are not esteemed for possessing great wealth or extensive property interests, but for two generations its men have been renowned throughout the country because of their high standard of citizen- ship, their trustworthiness and incorruptible integrity. The late Thomas Rich was born in Brighton, England, on the 3d of March, 1830, and was the eldest son of Richard and Mary Rich, who were the parents of twelve children, the order of their birth being as follows: Fannie, Mary, Martha, Rebecca. Rachel, Thomas, Naomi, Ruth. Sarah. Joseph, Benjamin and Ebenezer, all but two of whom are now deceased. In 1833 Richard Rich accompanied by his wife and children emigrated to the United States from the mother country. locating in Erie. Pennsylvania. They continued to reside there for seven years, during which period the father worked at his trade, which was that of cabinet maker. Subsequently they re-
305
HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY
moved to Illinois, settling in Como, Whiteside county, where Mr. Rich continued to follow his trade for many years. Mrs. Rich passed away on the 26th of May, 1872, and thereafter the father made his home with his children in Chicago, where he was living at the time of his demise on the 6th of December. 1875.
Thomas Rich was only a lad of three years when his parents emi- grated to the United States, but as the family was large and their income limited he very soon had to assist in the support of the household. Al- though he had only attained his twelfth year when they removed to Illinois he had for some time previous been working at the carpentry trade with his father, his schooling in Pennsylvania having been limited to three months. He remained a member of the paternal household until his marriage, following which he established a home of his own. After twenty- eight years residence in Whiteside county, during which time he worked at the carpentry trade continuously, Mr. Rich removed to Carroll county, lowa, settling on a farm four miles east of Glidden. Here he engaged in general farming and stock-raising until 1885, at which time he received the appointment of postmaster at Glidden following which the family went there to reside. Mr. Rich gave most efficient service in this capacity for four years at the expiration of which period he received the nomination on the democratic ticket for state senator. Despite the fact that the dis- trict had for many years previous gone republican by a pronounced majority Mr. Rich was elected and served through two sessions of the state legis- lature. His record as a senator was characterized by honesty, independence and a progressive tendency. He was naturally on the side of economy and financial reform, but he voted for the liberal support of all public institutions, and was a trusted friend of Governor Horace Boies and Judge Woolson of the federal district court, who was then a senator. In 1890 Senator Rich and his family removed to Carroll, purchasing a home in the north part of the town which they were occupying at the time of his demise. Seven years thereafter Carroll county felt the need of a man possessed of his characteristics on the board of supervisors, and although his colleague on the ticket was defeated by a republican, Thomas Rich having been tried and found to be true, was elected. He was known to be able to withstand the most alluring blandishments of unscrupulous lobbyists, his integrity and honor ever having been above suspicion during the entire period of his public career. During the last year of his life he was chairman of the board but owing to his increasing infirmities was able to attend but one meeting of the last session.
Miss Angeline Barrett became the wife and helpmate of Mr. Rich, their union being solemnized in Como. Illinois. To them were born eight children, namely: Charles, who was the first born, and died in infancy. Thomas R., the eldest surviving son, married Miss Leta Gabriel. Minnie. who married Andrew Jenks, has the following children: Ruth, Herbert. Sarah. Pearl, George, Vern and a baby boy. William O., who was born in Como, Illinois, in 1860, and passed away on the 16th of April, 1910. During the early years of his manhood W. O. Rich was engaged in busi-

ness, making a success of every enterprise with which he was identified. but he later withdrew from mercantile activities to enter public life. He heid a number of city and township offices the responsibilities of which he discharged in a highly creditable manner and four years prior to his death he was elected to the board of supervisors of which body he was chairman at the time of his demise. He made a record during his public service which for honesty and efficiency was fully equal to that of his father. He was united in marriage on the 24th of December, 1884, to Miss Ida A. Griffin of Glidden, who survives him. Earl M., a resident of Glidden township, is an agriculturist. Nettie, who married Walter English, has two children: Louise and Jean. Herbert, who was the seventh in the order of birth, is deceased. Roscoe, the youngest member of the family, married Miss Maude O'Neil and they have two daughters, Angeline and Margaret. Mrs. Rich is still surviving at the venerable age of seventy-eight years and makes her home with her son Roscoe.
The family attended the Baptist church with which denomination the parents were affiliated, while his political support Mr. Rich always accorded the candidates of the democratic party. Although many years have passed since his demise the record he made as a public official is remembered and referred to as being in every way worthy of emulation. Mr. Rich was a man of modest, unassuming disposition, who rarely spoke of himself, and yet withal possessing such strength of character that he clung to his ideals with absolute inflexibility. It is said of him that he never forgot a friend nor missed an opportunity of reciprocating a kindly act.
EARL M. RICH.
Earl M. Rich, who is engaged in the cultivation of a farm of eighty acres in Glidden township, Carroll county, was born in Whiteside county, Illinois, on the 5th of June, 1861, and is a son of the late Thomas and Angeline (Barrett) Rich. The father was born in London, England, on the 3d of March, 1830, from which country he emigrated to the United States with his parents when a lad of five years. The family first located in Erie, Pennsylvania, where they resided for several years before they removed to Whiteside county, Illinois, where Mr. Rich met and subse- quently married Miss Angeline Barrett, a native of Ohio. The father. who was a carpenter, followed his trade until 1870 when he removed to Iowa, locating upon a farm of one hundred and sixty acres four miles east of Glidden. He continued to reside there, engaging in agricultural pursuits, until 1885 at which time he was appointed postmaster, following which he removed to Glidden, where the family made their home for five years and then came to Carroll, where the father passed away January 5. 1899. The mother is still surviving at the age of seventy-eight years and makes her home with her youngest son, Roscoe. Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Rich: Charles, who died in infancy; Thomas R .. who is

HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY
married and living in Cedar Rapids; Minnie, who married Andrew Jenks, of Barney, North Dakota; William O., who is deceased; Earl M., our subject; Nettie, who married Walter English, of Los Angeles, California ; Herbert, who is deceased; and Roscoe, who is a resident of Carroll.
As he was only a lad of nine years when his parents located in Carroll county, Earl M. Rich spent his early years on the old homestead in Glidden township, acquiring the greater portion of his education in the district schools of this county. He remained a member of the paternal household until he had attained his eighteenth year, during which time he learned the carpentry trade, which he followed for several years after leaving home. In 1887, subsequent to his marriage, Mr. Rich bought a farm of eighty acres in Glidden township, which he has brought to a high state of cultiva- tion.
Mr. Rich was married at the age of twenty-five years to Miss Lydia .A. Snyder, their union being solemnized on the 16th of February, 1887. Mrs. Rich is a daughter of Adam and Barbara Snyder, who were natives of Germany, from which country they emigrated to the United States in 1837. They first located in the state of New York where they resided for thirteen years. At the expiration of that period they removed to Illinois and settled in McHenry county where the father passed away in 1863. After the death of her husband Mrs. Snyder continued to make her home in Illinois until 1884 when she came to Iowa to live with her children, and here she was residing at the time of her death in April, 1904. Two chil- dren have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Rich, Clyde and Leila, both of whom are attending the high school at Glidden.
The family affiliate with the Methodist Episcopal church of Glidden and in politics Mr. Rich is a democrat. He has never been an office seeker, however, preferring to devote his entire attention to the cultivation of his homestead in which direction his efforts have met with substantial reward.
HERMAN C. CARPENTER.
The active career of Herman C. Carpenter, who is engaged in the hardware business at Ralston, has extended over a period of fifty-one years, which is a most unusual record. He was born in the state of New York on the 31st of November, 1847, and is the youngest son of Scyril and Thursey Carpenter, also natives of the Empire state. The father, who was one of a family of five, all of whom have now passed away, was a carpenter by trade, always taking a prominent and helpful part in the pubilc life of the communities where he resided, being identified with many official positions. He went west in 1856, locating in La Salle county, Illinois, where he engaged in the carpentry trade at first but later studied and practiced medicine until his demise in 1887, having survived his wife many years. Mrs. Carpenter had three brothers and sisters, all of whom have passed away. Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Carpen-
308
HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY
ter, as follows : Marilla, deceased ; Isaiah; Samantha; Anna ; Joseph ; Mary, who is deceased; and Herman C., our subject.
The educational advantages afforded Herman C. Carpenter were very limited, his education being confined to the brief and irregular terms of the La Salle county schools which he attended until the age of thirteen years. He has always been a close observer and careful reader, which together with his wide and varied experiences in life has enabled him to become quite a well informed man. At the tender age of thirteen years he began his career by buying a half interest in a threshing outfit in the operation of which he engaged for forty-six years, a distinction not many can boast. In connection with this venture he rented a farm in La Salle county, which he cultivated until 1875, when he moved to Iowa, where he bought two farms of one hundred and twenty acres each. One of these was located on section 19, Scranton township, Greene county, and the other on section 24, Richland township, Carroll county. He dis- posed of his realty interests in 1892 and moved to Ralston, where he is now engaged in the hardware and implement business.
Mr. Carpenter and Miss Emma A. Isgrig celebrated Christmas, 1868, by their marriage. Mrs. Carpenter is a daughter of Wilson and Mahala Isgrig, natives of Ohio who came to Illinois and thence to Iowa, locating upon one hundred and sixty acres of land which he had purchased in Glid- den township, Carroll county. Mr. and Mrs. Isgrig were the parents of five children, the others beside our subject being: Alice, Emma A., Charles and Lizzie. Eleven children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter, as follows: Ida M., who married M. Fredericks of Jefferson, Iowa, and has had two children: a boy, Clarence, and a little girl who is deceased ; Alice, who became the wife of Noah Kaffer of Glidden and has three children; Charles, who is deceased and left a wife and five children ; Mattie, who married William McNeal and has two children; Ollie, who is deceased and was the wife of Harry Harshburger of Greene county, Iowa, by whom she had one son, Guy; Hattie, who is now Mrs. Kelly Bishop of South Dakota and has five children; Lottie, who married Clar- ence Cooper of Glidden by whom she has one child; Irah, who is deceased ; Earl, who is the youngest son and lives at home; Myrtle, who married Earl Shewy of Ralston and has three children; and Bertha, who became the wife of Harry Clarke by whom she has one child.
Although Mr. Carpenter takes an active interest in political affairs he has never affiliated with any party, always having accorded his support to the men and measures he deemed best adapted to subserve the interests of the people, his first presidential ballot, however, was cast for Lincoln. He continues to take a helpful interest in the government of the com- munity by his capable discharge of the duties of constable, of which office he has been the incumbent for the past nine years. His years would entitle him to retirement but his alert manner and active participation in the life of the community should put to shame many a younger man whose period of usefulness does not promise to be the length of Mr. Carpenter's.
