HISTORY OF LOUISA COUNTY
by his friends and neighbors and became recognized as one of the progressive and useful men of the community.
On October 10, 1822, Mr. Ronald was married to Miss Martha Killough, a native of South Carolina and a daughter of James and Jane ( Hayes ) Killough, the former of whom was born in Scotland and the latter in Ireland. They were married in Ireland and came to America, locating in South Carolina, where the mother died. In 1810 Mr. Killough moved to Ohio with his children and he die'l in that state about two years later. Mr. and Mrs. Ronald became the parents of ten children, three of whom are now living : Mrs. McDill, the eldest, who was born February 23, 1825: Emely, who was born December 3, 1836, and is the wife of J. P. Walker. of Grand View, lowa; and Caroline, who mar- ried Dr. Lilly, of Chicago, Illinois.
Mr. Ronald, whose name introduces this sketch, died February 22, 1872, his wife being called away seven years later, in December, 1870. lle was a member of the Reformed Presbyterian church and in all the relations of life attempted to perform his whole duty to his family, his associates and his fellowmen. He found in his wife a loving companion and a willing assistant and as parents of a large family they set an example of patience, courage and self- denial well worthy of imitation. Their memory is warmly cherished by all who came within the circle of their influence.
EDWIN S. RABE.
Edwin S. Rabe, who for the past fifteen years has been identified with the Cooperative store of Letts, was born in Muscatine county, Iowa, on the 14th of October, 1860. His parents are Copeland and Ludia A. (Fletcher ) Rabe, the father a native of Ohio and the mother of Iowa. They were married in the latter state, following which the father purchased a farm in Muscatine county, which he operated until his retirement in 1905. For five years thereafter they resided in West Liberty but they now make their home with their daughter. Six children were born to them: William, who is a resident of Axtell, Kansas; Edwin S., our subject: Jesse, who lives in Haskill, Colorado; Alpha, who is on the old homestead; Zelpha, the wife of Charles Monroe, of West Liberty ; and Leila, who became the wife of Chester Grigg, of West Liberty, Iowa.
Reared on a farm and educated in the common schools of his native county, Edwin S. Rabe remained at home until he attained his majority. For three years thereafter he operated a creamery at West Liberty, and then disposing of his interest he ran a cream wagon on a salary for two years. At the expira- tion of that period he became a clerk in the Cooperative store of Letts, where he has ever since continued to be employed.
Mr. Rabe was united in marriage on the 27th of December, 1897, to Miss Lucille Idle, who was born in Grand View township in 1872 and is a daughter of Frank B. and Mary E. ( Brumley ) Idle. Her father is a native of Ohio and

her mother of Virginia, but they were married in Iowa. The father engaged in farming until 1901, at which time he retired to Letts, where they continue to reside. Mr. Idle still owns land in the Dakotas and Kansas, however. In his family are the following children : Newton, who is a resident of Boycourt, Kan- sas : Clara, the wife of H. L. Shear, of Cedar Falls, lowa; Nancy, who married James Small. of Letts, lowa; Ollie, a resident of Boycourt, Kansas; and Lucille, nor Mrs. Rabe. The union of Mr. and Mrs. Rabe has been blessed by one son, Maurice E., who was born on the 6th of June, 1906.
Mr. Rabe votes with the republican party but is not an office seeker. 1lis fraternal relations are confined to his membership in the Masonic order, and both he and his wife affiliate with the Presbyterian church, among whose con- gregation they number many friends.
CHARLES SCHWEITZER.
Charles Schweitzer, a well known merchant of Louisa county, is successfully engaged in business in association with three of his brothers, conducting a gen- eral mercantile establishment at Grand View and also dealing in groceries, meats and queensware at Oakville. He is numbered among the worthy native sons of this county, his birth having occurred in Grand View on the 20th of August, 1880. His parents are Henry and Mary ( Piffer ) Schweitzer, the former a na- tive of St. Louis, Missouri, and the latter of Louisa county, Iowa. Both are still living, being worthy and respected residents of Grand View. They have eight children, as follows: William E. and Henry H .. who make their home at Grand View, Iowa; George E., living in Oakville, this state; Dell Arthur, of Los Angeles, California ; Charles, of this review ; and Albert, Oscar and Daisy, all of whom are residents of Grand View.
Charles Schweitzer worked on a farm until twenty-five years of age and then embarked in the grocery business in association with three of his brothers. They own a general mercantile store in Grand View and also enjoy a liberal patronage as dealers in groceries, meats and queensware at Oakville, conducting the most extensive establishment of its kind in that town. The brothers are young men of well known enterprise and of resolute purpose, who carry forward to successful completion whatever they undertake.
On the Ist of March, 1905, Mr. Schweitzer was united in marriage to Miss Marcia Chambliss, a daughter of Jeff and Elizabeth Chambliss. They now have two daughters, namely : Vivian, a little maiden of four years; and Loleta, who is one year old. Mr. Schweitzer gives his political allegiance to the democracy, while in religious faith he is a Presbyterian. In the community where his entire life has been spent he enjoys an enviable reputation as a substantial and repre- sentative citizen.
