HISTORY OF DUBUQUE COUNTY
WILLIAM H. LUSK is a native of the county in which he now resides, his birth occurring in Dubuque, January 3, 1849. Samuel Lusk, his father, was born in Ohio and was there reared to man- hood and married Mary Skinner, a native of Virginia. When Dubuque county contained many Indians and when wolves and other wild animals were more plentiful than domestic ones, he came here and participated in the transition of a wild country to a community of happy and prosperous homes. Emily, Mary Jane and William H. were the names of his three children. The mother died in February, 1849, when the subject of this sketch was scarcely four weeks old. The two girls were reared in Ohio by a Mrs. Patten, a sister of their father. They each married and are now deceased. Hulda Lusk, another sister of Samuel Lusk, was the wife of John Brown, of anti-slavery fame. William H. Lusk was reared under the roof and loving care of Mrs. David Swope, his dead mother's sister, at Cascade. His early years were passed in attending the public schools and assisting with the work of the farm. He remained with his foster parents until twenty-six years old, and in 1875 married Miss Ella Topliff, who was born Septem- ber 6, 1857, daughter of Jerome B. and Julia (Blue) Topliff, who were natives of Massachusetts and Indiana, respectively. Mr. Topliff came to Iowa in the early fifties, first locating in Allamakee county, and subsequently removing to Delaware county, where he erected the first flouring grist mill in the county on his preempted quarter section of land. He also built a saw mill, both mills being operated by the same power. In 1862 he enlisted as a drummer boy in Company B, Twenty-first Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and died of swamp fever at Bolton, Missouri, where he is buried. Mrs. Topliff died at Davenport, Iowa, in 1871, aged thirty-two years. They were the parents of four children: The eldest, a son, died in infancy ; Ella (Mrs. William H. Lusk ) ; George, married and liv- ing in South Dakota; and Eva H., now Mrs. Will R. Lyons, of Independence, Iowa. To Mr. and Mrs. Lusk five children have been born, as follows: Eva M., the wife of Maxwell A. Behnke, of Libby, Montana; Imogene M., now Mrs. William Field, of Leavenworth, Washington ; Orben W., who married Martha Win- ters, and resides at Independence, Iowa; Florence E., teaching school in the state of Washington; and Lulu E., living at home. Mr. Lusk began his married life as a farmer of rented property. As his means increased he bought land and has become one of the substantial men of the county. Since 1904 he has resided in Epworth. He and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal church.

and Jennie Johnson. The family is of English extraction, but for many generations has resided in this country. C. H. Johnson, father of the subject of this sketch, was a native of Ohio, but came West when a comparatively young man and engaged in farming. When President Lincoln called for troops to put down the rebellion Mr. Johnson enlisted in Company D, Fourth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and arose to the rank of sergeant. He and wife are now living at Manchester, Iowa, having moved there in the spring of 1881. A. C. Johnson completed his education with a course at the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Business College, succeeding which he accepted the position of assistant cashier in the Commercial Bank at Maxwell, Iowa. He was later employed in a clerical capacity by the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern Railway Company, con- tinuing as a clerk in the office of the freight auditor of the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific Railway Company when the former road was absorbed by the latter. Realizing that railroad work offered but little opportunity for his advancement, he resigned his position, and, returning to Manchester, became secretary of the Manchester Lumber Company, in which he had a financial interest. He later severed his connection with this firm and in the spring of 1900 came to Dubuque as a department manager for the Standard Lumber Company, a position he held five years. He then helped to organize the Central Lumber and Coal Company, of which he has since been secretary and a director. Mr. Johnson is a man of a quiet and retiring disposition and has confined his attention almost exclu- sively to his business affairs. October 1, 1896, he married Miss Mabel, daughter of John B. and Helen Rutherford, of Manchester, Iowa, and they are the parents of one daughter, Dorothea Evelyn. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are members of the Methodist Episcopal church.
ARTHUR R. FLICK, of the A. R. Flick Box Company, Dubuque. was born in this city November 9, 1881, the son of J. R. and Julia Flick, and grandson of Mathias and Barbara Flick. The family is of German extraction, but for generations have resided in America. The grandfather, realizing the advantages to be had in the United States, immigrated to this country at an early date, and came by boat up the Mississippi river to Dubuque when the city was yet in its infancy and little more than a frontier village. Here he passed away in 1889, but is survived by his widow, aged over eighty years. J. R. Flick came with his parents to Dubuque when but one year old. When war between the North and South was declared and soldiers were occupying Dubuque, he sold newspapers, and later learned and followed his father's occupation of contracting and building, at which he is yet engaged. Arthur R. Flick, the immedi- ate subject of this memoir, was educated in the local public and high schools, graduating from the latter in 1896. He then went to Chi-

cago and worked in a box factory, but several months later returned to Dubuque and established a box factory on Jones street. The business prospered and the premises became too small, and Mr. Flick was forced to remove to larger quarters at Eighteenth and Washington streets. Again he was obliged to make a change, and in 1900 moved his establishment to a large factory at the foot of Seventh street, 350x90 feet, where he has since remained. Mr. Flick is one of Dubuque's representative business men and it is due to his own efforts that he has been successful in the commercial world. July 25, 1905, he was united in marriage with Miss Doro- thea Schuster, daughter of Valentine and Minnie Schuster, and their residence in Dubuque is located at 3019 Couler avenue.

He erected a large building on Main and Second streets, and after a long and honorable residence of thirty-four years, died on March 28, 1879, aged seventy years. His widow survives him at the ripe old age of seventy-two years, and resides in Rockdale. When Mr. Manson first came to Dubuque he had very little means, but by hard work and careful saving accu- mulated a competency, and died in the knowledge that his family was amply provided for. John W. Manson received his early edu- cation in the public schools of this city, later taking a course in Bayless Business College, which he finished when nineteen years old. He then entered the dry goods establishment of Keas & Sulli- van, and when, upon the death of the former, the name was styled Sullivan & Stampfer, he remained with the firm for thirteen years. In 1897, in partnership with Ernest Seitz, he opened a dry goods and notion store on Main and Eighth streets ; dissolving this asso- ciation in 1900, he returned to Sullivan & Stampfer. He next became manager of the Home Milling Company at Rockdale, but upon the dissolution of this concern in 1905 he bought an interest in the Iowa House Furnishing Company, of which he has been secretary and a director ever since.
