The father was born in St. Thomas, Canada, but in his early manhood came to Illinois, where he met and married Miss Hall, a native of La Salle county, that state. The father is now deceased, having passed away in Wil- liams, but the mother is still living and makes her home in South Da- kota with a daughter.

William H. Minard was a child of only four years, when he accom- panied his parents on their removal to Iowa. He was reared to man- hood in Hamilton county, obtaining his education in the common schools. In common with the majority of country youths he early became familiar with the practical methods of agriculture, devoting his energies to general farming and stock-raising in Rose Grove town- ship until 1909. In March of that year he withdrew from the work of the fields and removed to Williams. About the same time he became associated with H. L. Dow in the drug business at Story City. They conducted this enterprise until October, 1911, when they disposed of it and engaged in the drug and jewelry business at Jewell Junction. They have an attractive store, and as they carry a well assorted stock in both departments are enjoying a lucrative trade. Mr. Minard still owns one hundred and twenty acres of land in Rose Grove township. which is well improved and highly cultivated. He' is a man of enter- prising and progressive methods and was instrumental in laying the first successful drainage ditch in Hamilton county, which has ever since been known as Minard's ditch.

They are all natives of Am- boy, Illinois.
