Mr. Schnurr married Miss Teresa Peters, of Chickasaw county, and to them have been born eight children, seven of whom are yet living: Arthur, who is assistant

CHICKASAW AND HOWARD COUNTIES
postmaster at New Hampton, Clemens, who served in the European war, being on active duty in France; Clarence, a twin brother of Clemens, who joined the army but was not sent overseas; Marie, who is attending St. Mary Academy at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin; and Frank, Aloysius and Evelyn, who are yet under the parental roof.
In politics Mr. Schnurr is a republican and for some years he served as a member of the city council, cooperating heartily in plans and projects for the welfare and up- building of the community. He is now a member of the New Hampton fire department. Fraternally he is connected with the Modern Woodmen of America and with the Knights of Columbus, and both he and his wife are members of St. Mary's Catholic church. New Hampton accounts him one of her leading and representative business men and his career is illustrative of what can be accomplished through individual effort, for he has worked his way upward entirely unaided.
WILLIAM CONNOLLY, M. D.
Dr. William Connolly, a member of the medical profession, who in his practice specializes in the treatment of the eye, in which connection he has gained high efficiency, was born in County Waterford, Ireland, on the 4th of March, 1861, a son of Patrick and Catharine (Hannigan) Connolly. He was brought by his parents to the United States when but three years of age, the family settling at McGregor, Iowa, which was then the only market in the northern part of the state. Mr. Connolly, the father, there es- tablished a grocery store and conducted business successfully until 1873, when he re- moved to Cresco, where he was again identified with commercial interests. He re- mained there until his death, carrying on business in the store now occupied by the firm of Mott & Company. He passed away in Cresco at the age of sixty-seven years and is still survived by his wife, who now resides in Spokane, Washington, and has reached the age of eighty-seven years. He gave his political allegiance to the republican party and served as city treasurer of Cresco for a number of years, proving a most faithful custodian of the public funds. His religious faith was that of the Roman Catholic church.
Dr. Connolly spent his boyhood days in McGregor, where he resided to the age of eleven years. He then accompanied his parents on their removal to Cresco, where he continued to attend the public schools, having begun his education in McGregor. At a later period he became a pupil in Notre Dame University at Notre Dame, Indiana, and his professional training was received in Rush Medical College of Chicago, from which he was graduated in 1883, when a young man of twenty-one years, having pur- sued the full course in that institution. He then came to Cresco, where he opened an office and entered upon the practice of his profession, in which he continued until 1887. He then sold his practice to Dr. George Kessel and became engaged in the drug business in connection with a Mr. Lowry, with whom he was thus associated until 1912. when he withdrew from activity as a druggist to devote his entire time and attention to the eye. He is well known as an optician and oculist and is doing excellent work in that connection. During his medical practice he bought a farm of one hundred and thirty-two acres in Cresco at a hundred dollars per acre, it being the first farm sold in Howard county for that price. It is today a very valuable tract of land, on which his son, W. F. Connolly, is now engaged in raising full blooded Holstein cattle. Dr. Connolly is also a director in the Cresco Union Savings Bank and is thus identified with various lines of business which contribute not only to his individual success but also to the progress and prosperity of the general public.
In 1884 Dr. Connolly was united in marriage to Miss Catharine Mullen, a daughter of Martin and Mary (O'Malley) Mullen. She was born at Bear Creek, Wisconsin, while her parents were natives of Ireland, whence they came to the United States in the early '50s, crossing the Atlantic in one of the old sailing vessels common at that period. They established their home in the state of New York, where Mr. Mullen fol- lowed the occupation of farming, but later he removed to the middle west, locating in Cresco. He retired from active business, spending his remaining days in the enjoyment
544
CHICKASAW AND HOWARD COUNTIES
of well earned rest. His widow still survives. Dr. and Mrs. Connolly became the parents of three children: William F., who is giving his attention to the breeding and raising of Holstein cattle upon his father's farm; Ruth, who has become a Sister of Charity and is now teaching at Emmetsburg, Iowa; and Irene, who died at the age of five months. The wife and mother passed away in 1907 at the age of forty-seven years, and her death was deeply regretted by many friends as well as her immediate family.
Dr. Connolly is the only member of his father's family still living in Howard county and he is the eldest of a household that once numbered eight children, the others being: Ella, now the wife of William Fitzgerald, a resident of Spokane, Washington; Anas- tasia, Mary, Augustine and Joseph, all of whom are residents of Spokane; Robert, who died at the age of two years; and James F., living in Seattle, Washington.
Dr. Connolly votes with the republican party, of which he has been a stalwart adherent since age gave him the right of franchise. He is a member of the city council and has served in that office for six years, discharging his duties with marked promptness and capability. He was one of the builders of St. Joseph's Hospital in Cresco and has always been interested in plans and measures for public progress and improvement in the city and county of his adoption. His fellow townsmen esteem him as a man of sterling worth.
JOHN McDANNELL, M. D.
Wide and comprehensive study and broad experience have placed Dr. John Mc- Dannell in the ranks of the leading physicians and surgeons of Iowa. He is practicing at Nashua, Chickasaw county, where he has made his home since 1908. He was born in Rock Island, Illinois, on the 9th of March, 1871, and is a son of Decatur S. and Etola Mary (Hughes) McDannell, the former a native of Ohio, while the latter was born in Pennsylvania. They were married in the Buckeye state, where the mother had removed with her parents in her girlhood days. The father was an artist and among his many works of art was a painting of the battle of Gettysburg, which was shown in a panorama on Wabash avenue in Chicago for many years, a notable work that drew to it thousands of spectators annually. He resided in Rock Island in early manhood and for many years was a resident of Chicago. His labors included many canvases made in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, several of these being notable pictures of the Garden of the Gods. His last days were spent at Moline, Illinois, where he passed away about 1890.
Dr. McDannell was educated in the public schools of Illinois and in the State University of Wisconsin. He lived in Wisconsin with Dr. W. P. Hartford, then of Bee- town, and it was through his influence that he took up the study of medicine, remaining for three years under the preceptorship of Dr. Hartford. In 1888 he entered the Ken- tucky School of Medicine at Louisville and was there graduated as a member of the class of 1891. He located for practice at Glenhaven, Wisconsin, where he remained in active professional work for eight years and then came to Iowa. For a similar period he lived at Arlington and in 1908 removed to Nashua, where through the inter- vening eleven years he has enjoyed a large and remunerative practice. He has taken post graduate work in the Chicago Post Graduate School, where he studied in 1900, and in 1907 and 1908 he devoted six months to post graduate work in the New York Poly- clinic. He is constantly. broadening his knowledge by reading and study, and experience is also adding to his efficiency day by day. He is a member of the Chickasaw County Medical Society, the Austin Flint Cedar Valley Medical Society, the Iowa State Medical Society and the American Medical Association and through the proceedings of these bodies keeps in close touch with the trend of modern professional thought and prac- tice. He is at all times most careful in the diagnosis of his cases and is seldom if ever at fault in foretelling the outcome of disease.
On the 18th of September. 1892, Dr. McDannell was married to Miss Lottie E. Ishmael, of Cassville, Wisconsin, and to them has been born a daughter, Lucille, who is now a student in Grinnell College at Grinnell, Iowa.

THOMAS R. PERRY.
Thomas R. Perry, county highway engineer, residing in Cresco, was born in San Francisco, California, on the 9th day of April, 1890, and is a son of Herbert and Belle (Young) Perry. The father was born in New York, while the mother's birth occurred near Elma, Howard county, Iowa. Herbert Perry was only a year old when brought by his parents to Iowa, the family settling at Howard Center, in Howard county, where the grandfather took up government land. This was a wild and largely uninhabited district to which he made his way and gave little indication of the changes which were to rapidly develop it. He obtained a claim from the government, upon which he built a sod house and therein lived in true pioneer style. He concentrated his efforts and attention upon the cultivation of his land and in time brought his fields into a most productive state. In the later years of his life he established his home in Cresco, where he lived retired and there both he and his wife passed away. His son, Herbert Perry, continued upon the old homestead farm through the period of his boyhood and youth and was married in Howard county. He afterward removed to San Francisco, California, where he owned and managed a vineyard, but after continuing for a time on the Pacific coast he returned to Howard county and once more occupied the old homestead farm, upon which he and his wife are now living, the former at the age of sixty-three years, while the latter is sixty-two years of age. Throughout the years of bis manhood Herbert Perry has been a stalwart advocate of republican principles and in fraternal relations he is a Mason, loyal to the teachings of the craft.
Thomas R. Perry spent his boyhood days in Howard county and mastered the branches of learning taught in the public schools of the home neighborhood and at Lime Springs. In 1909 he entered the Iowa State College at Ames and there pursued a thorough course in civil engineering, being graduated with the class of 1915. He after- ward followed his profession in Toledo, Iowa, where he had charge of sewer construc- tion. He also did similar work at State Center. Union, Nevada and Cairo, Iowa. In 1917 he removed to Cresco, where he is now located and he is filling the position of county highway engineer. He is doing excellent work in that office, closely studying the needs and opportunities of the county along that line and his labors have had real practical value to the community.
Mr. Perry votes with the republican party, of which he has been a stanch cham- pion since age conferred upon him the right of franchise. His religious faith is that of the Methodist Episcopal church and he is interested in all that pertains to its welfare and upbuilding.
H. J. KRONINGER.
H. J. Kroninger is a retired farmer residing in Fredericksburg. He comes to Iowa from the Keystone state, his birth having occurred in Pennsylvania, September 12, 1844. He is a son of Joseph K. and Elizabeth (Slonecker) Kroninger, the former a native of Delaware, while the latter was born in Pennsylvania, in which state they were married, the paternal grandparents having removed to Berks county, Pennsyl- vania, in 1821. About 1847 Joseph K. Kroninger went with his family to Ohio, estab- lishing his home among the pioneer settlers of Delaware county, where he resided until 1854. In that year he came to Iowa, first locating in Clayton county near Elkader,
548
CHICKASAW AND HOWARD COUNTIES
where he put in a crop. There he left his family but the following spring came to Chickasaw county and took up his abode upon a farm of one hundred and twenty acres in New Hampton township. He entered this land from the government as a homestead claim and it was entirely destitute of improvements, not a furrow having been turned upon the tract. There were only seven families in this vicinity at that early day and they formed a Pioneers Association, agreeing to stand by each other in sickness and adversity as well as in prosperity. Mr. Kroninger built a log cabin upon his farm. and having thus prepared a home for his family, he removed his wife and children to Chickasaw county in 1856. He recalls the fact that his first crop of one hundred and fifty bushels of buckwheat and his corn crop were destroyed by a prairie fire, leaving only a few bushels of buckwheat in the center of the pile that were fit for use. Deer were numerous, however, in those early days and venison was easily secured. This, with the buckwheat, constituted the food of the family through the winter. The buckwheat was ground in an old coffee mill, one of the children grinding the amount necessary for breakfast, another for dinner, and a third for supper, each thus taking his turn. That season-the winter of 1856-57-was the winter of the big snow. The children of the family, H. J. Kroninger among the number, went through the winter without shoes, wrapping old sacks around their feet in lieu of other foot- gear. In later years, however, Joseph K. Kroninger prospered in his undertakings and to his home farm added a tract of forty acres. He was thus able to provide a good liv- ing for his family through the sale of his crops. He was one of the organizers of the first school district of the county-school district No. 1, comprising the four townships of Dresden, New Hampton, Stapleton and Fredericksburg, a log schoolhouse being built on the corner of the four townships. Mr. Kroninger served as a member of the first school board and was deeply interested in the work of progress and improvement in the county along all lines. In subsequent years he served as township trustee and in 1863 was elected a member of the board of county supervisors. His worth as a citizen was widely acknowledged and his labors proved a resultant force in bringing about progress along many lines. The community mourned the loss of one of its valued pioneer settlers when in 1894 he passed away. His widow survived him until March, 1898.
H. J. Kroninger acquired only such schooling as it was possible to obtain in early pioneer times. In those days the only qualifications required of a teacher were that he could give instruction in the three R's-"readin', writin' and 'rithmetic." When he reached the age of fourteen his schooldays were over. His father was a blacksmith by trade and devoted much of his time to the work of the shop, so that H. J. Kroninger took up the burden of operating the farm. He remained at home, giving his services to his father until he attained his twenty-first year, when he began farming on his own account as a renter. He was married in 1867 and in that year bought his first land, becoming the owner of forty acres in Dresden township, on which was a log house. To this place he removed with his wife and while farming his own land he also cultivated other land, which he rented in the neighborhood. In subsequent years he added to his original purchase until his present farm comprises one hundred and eighty acres, constituting a valuable place, to which he has added many modern im- provements. He has divided his farm into fields of convenient size by well kept fences, . has secured the best farm machinery and has done everything possible to enhance the value and productiveness of the place. In the spring of 1903, however, he left the farm and removed to Fredericksburg, where he has since made his home. He was one of the organizers of the First National Bank of Fredericksburg and was later made a member of its board of directors, while in 1912 he was elected vice president of the bank, in which official capacity he has since served.
On the 25th of March, 1867. 'Mr. Kroninger was united in marriage to Miss Rozena Zoller, of Winneshiek county, Iowa, a daughter of Frederick Zoller, who came to this country from Germany in 1854 and established his home in Winneshiek county, where he resided to the time of his death.
In his political views Mr. Kroninger is a republican, always giving stanchi support to the party. He has served for several years as a member of the city council, having been the incumbent in that position when the electric light plant was installed, and he was also a member of the school board when the new school building of Fredericksburg
549
CHICKASAW AND HOWARD COUNTIES
was erected. He stands at all times on the side of advancement and improvement and is one of the public-spirited residents of Fredericksburg, where his work has been of substantial worth to the community.
HERMAN RUESINK.
Herman Ruesink, actively identified with farming on section 22, Forest City town- ship, Howard county, has come to Iowa from the state of Wisconsin, his birth having occurred in Sheboygan county, May 10, 1864. His parents, Aaron J. and Jane G. (Hopeman) Ruesink, were natives of Holland and came to the United States in child. hood with their respective parents. They settled in Wisconsin, where they were reared and married, and in 1877 left that state to become residents of Howard county, Iowa. They took up their abode upon a farm in Chester county which Mr. Ruesink had pur- chased three years previous to his removal to this state, and upon that farm he resided until his death, which occurred in 1890. His wife survived him for more than two decades, passing away in 1911.
Herman Ruesink was a lad of thirteen years when the family came to Iowa, and his education, begun in the schools of Wisconsin, was continued in the public schools of Howard county. His early training was that of the farm-bred boy, who soon becomes familiar with the work of the fields and the best methods of caring for the crops. In March, 1889, he married Miss Georgia Anna Chick, of Bangor, Maine, and in the spring of that year engaged in farming on his own account, purchasing at that time a tract of land of one hundred acres adjoining the city limits of Lime Springs on the east. He continued to develop that property until 1902, when he sold the farm and bought fifteen acres west of Lime Springs, upon which place he remained until the death of his wife in 1908. He then sold the property and in 1910 made investment in his present farm, which comprises one hundred and sixty acres of rich and productive land on section 22, Forest City township. From the time of the early spring planting until the crops are harvested in the late autumn he is busy with the work of the fields, and the results of his persistent and intelligently directed labors are found in very substantial crops.
To Mr. and Mrs. Ruesink were born four children: Abbie E., the wife of John Metz, who is engaged in the automobile business at Stacyville, Iowa; and John A., Ada L. and Frances R., all at home.
Politically Mr. Ruesink is a republican, believing firmly in the principles of the party as factors in good government, and he is now serving on the board of trustees of Forest City township. He belongs to Howard Lodge, No. 214, A. F. & A. M., and is a loyal adherent of the craft. During the period of the recent war with Germany he was very active in support of the Red Cross and the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion, serving on the committees in all of the drives for these two organizations. He is a loyal, public-spirited citizen, and his fidelity to American interests and welfare is again and again manifest.
JOSEPH SOCK.
Joseph Sock, who carries on farming on section 24, Howard township, Howard county, is of Bohemian birth. He was born December 31, 1866, of the marriage of Joseph and Barbara (Bokola) Sock, both of whom remained residents of Bohemia until called to their final rest. When twenty years of age, or in 1886, Joseph Sock left his native land, attracted by the broader business opportunities that he could secure on this side of the Atlantic. He did not tarry on the eastern coast but made his way at once across the country to Howard county, Iowa, and here he began work as a farm hand, for he had no capital at the time of his arrival. In fact his funds were so exhausted that it was necessary for him to find immediate employment, but when it was recognized that he was an industrious and energetic man he had no difficulty in obtaining work. He carefully saved his money and after four years was able to purchase his present Vol. II-34
550
CHICKASAW AND HOWARD COUNTIES
nome place, which comprises one hundred and fifty-eight acres of land that is rich and productive, responding readily to the care and labor that he bestows upon it. He works diligently and persistently in the further development of his place and is now meeting with substantial success. He is also a stockholder in the Maple Leaf Creamery Company.
In 1888 Mr. Sock was united in marriage to Miss Wincina Soback, who was born in Bohemia and came to the United States with her parents in girlhood days. They now have seven children, as follows: William, who follows farming in Paris township, Howard county; John, Joseph, Frank and James, all at home; Anna, the wife of Charles Marek of Cedar Rapids; and Mary, the wife of Louis Ounderk, of Wilder, Montana.
In his political views Mr. Sock is a democrat and in religious faith he and his family are Catholics. He came to the United States a poor boy and has made steady advancement in the business world. He has never had occasion to regret his determina- tion to try his fortune on this side of the Atlantic, for he here found opportunities which are always open to the industrious and ambitious. His industry has been the basic element of his success and has brought him prominently to the front as a repre- sentative farmer of Howard county.
FRANK A. PECHOTA.
The student of history cannot carry his investigations far into the records of Chick- asaw county without learning the fact that the Pechota family has long been actively identified with the agricultural development of northern Iowa. In pioneer times the family home was established in this section of the state and it was upon the old home- stead farm that Frank A. Pechota was born on the 26th of October, 1880, in Utica township, his parents being Frank and Mary Pechota, more extended mention of whom is made in connection with the sketch of their son, W. A. Pechota, on another page of this work.
Frank A. Pechota now resides on section 1, Utica township, and throughout his entire life since reaching adult age he has been identified with farming interests. In his youth he was a pupil in the district school near his father's home, dividing his time between the duties of the schoolroom, the pleasures of the playground and the work of the fields. His early training well qualified him to engage in farming on his own account and following his marriage he settled at his present place of residence-a farm of one hundred and thirty-five acres, of which his father deeded to him one hun- dred acres. Five years later the son purchased a thirty-five acre tract adjoining and he is now busily employed in the further development of this property, to which he has added many modern improvements. His place is well equipped with good buildings, is divided into fields of convenient size by well kept fences and the latest improved machinery facilitates his labor.
In September, 1905, Mr. Pechota was united in marriage to Miss Anna Landa, a daughter of Frank Landa, who became one of the pioneer residents of Winneshiek county and is still living upon the farm which he secured at an early day. To Mr. and Mrs. Pechota have been born six children, five of whom survive, namely: William F., Celia, Philomene, Blanche and Marguerite.
In the exercise of his right of franchise Mr. Pechota supports the men and measures of the democratic party, in the principles of which he is a firm believer. He served for two terms as a member of the board of township trustees but otherwise has not been active in office. He and his family are members of the Catholic church and their interest in everything that pertains to the welfare and progress of the community is manifest by active and helpful cooperation in many plans for the public good. Mr. Pechota is a stockholder in the Protivin Cooperative Creamery Company and there is no phase of progressive agriculture with which he is not familiar. He closely studies the best methods of tilling the soil and producing his crops and that his efforts are ever guided by sound judgment is indicated in the substantial results which reward his labors.
