the successful amusement houses in the city, the greater part of his time and energy being devoted to its management. He belongs to the Greek letter society, Lambda Sigma Delta, which he joined when in college.
O. F. MATTESON.
O. F. Matteson needs no introduction to the citizens of Davenport and Scott county. As a man and official he is widely known and his record as deputy United States marshal is one which has gained for him wide commendation. A native son of Iowa, he was born in Marshall county, in the year 1871, his par- ents being Orlando and Mary (Karman) Matteson. The father was a farmer by occupation, following that pursuit until after the outbreak of the Civil war, when he put aside all business and personal considerations in order to protect the interests of the country on the field of battle. He became a member of Com- pany E, Sixteenth Iowa Infantry, and saw four years' service, during which time he was captured and incarcerated in Andersonville prison. The Matteson family came from the east in the vicinity of New York city. The ancestry of the Karman family is traced back to Bavaria, Germany, a representative of the name arriving in Scott county, Iowa, in 1850.
Owing to the death of his parents, O. F. Matteson was educated in the Sol- diers Orphans Home where he remained for about six years. He then went to Muscatine, Iowa, where he supplemented his previous education by thorough study in the public schools. Reading, experience and observation have also added to his knowledge and he has eagerly availed himself of every opportunity for advancement in educational lines. After leaving school he took a trip to the west where he was employed as a cow puncher on the plains and in 1891 returned to Iowa, after which he was employed in various ways until he began learning the carpenter's trade. He followed that pursuit up to the time of his retirement from the industrial field, his attention being now devoted to his official duties.
It was on the 21st of June, 1893, that Mr. Matteson was united in marriage to Miss Mary L. Beyer, a daughter of Gerhart and Louise (Heike) Beyer, who were of German and Holland lineage respectively. Mr. and Mrs. Matteson have become the parents of seven children, Orlando W., Evelyn, Alice A., Raymond H., Teddy T., George Christian and Hellena. Mr. Matteson and his family oc- cupy an attractive home on Harrison street near Duck creek and he has in ad- dition to his residence an acre of fine land.
Retired from business life, he is giving his attention to official duties, filling the office of deputy United States marshal for the southern district of Iowa with headquarters at Davenport. He was one of the prime movers in securing the establishment of the United States federal court at Davenport and because of his work in that connection the entire Scott County Bar Association endorsed him for the position of deputy United States marshal, believing him to be well qualified for the office. He is familiarly known among the federal employes through the east and west as "Pink"-a name suggested by the efficiency of the

Pinkerton men and given to him in recognition of the fact that he is an untiring scout when on the trail of criminals, never giving up until he has placed his man behind the bars. He was one of those who at Council Bluffs took part in the prosecution of the famous Mowbray gang of notorious swindlers, fourteen of the fifteen being convicted and receiving penitentiary sentences, most of them being now in Leavenworth. Unfaltering in the performance of his duty, his name has become a menace to evil-doers, and brings a sense of security to all who hold themselves amenable to law.
