in West Oakridge for the Grand Army of the Republic, a place upon which to hold memorial day exercises, and the erection of the beautiful soldier's monument thereon, which as a committeeman he assisted in purchasing and at the dedica- tion of which he had the honor to preside. He was also one of the prime movers in building the concrete sidewalk to the cemetery.


In 1896 Mr. McClun became connected with the Peoples State Bank. From 1897 to 1902 he served as its vice president. In the latter year, having enjoyed three years of rest, largely under his own vine and fig tree, he was called to the presidency of the bank. This position he has held to this time (1911), when by reason of advancing years he voluntarily shifted to younger shoulders the burdens incidental to the presidency. He does not relinquish his connection with the bank, however, retaining the title of vice president and remaining near at hand as counselor to his associates and a friend and adviser to all who may apply.


Such is a brief outline of a quiet, unobtrusive man who has made an in- delible impress upon the community. It would require an entire volume to set forth the countless things he has done to make brighter and better the environ- ment of his fellowmen. As a merchant, he was the soul of honor; as a public official, his integrity stands unchallenged in a single instance; as the head of the leading financial institution of the community for forty-three years, he has conservatively husbanded the savings of the widow and orphan, though generous and helpful to the meritorious borrower ; as a man and a citizen his example and influence have invariably been cast on the side of truth and right. Legions of acquaintances hope the remaining number of his days may be many, that he may remain unto them in the future as in the past, a veritable guide, philosopher and friend.


MILTON J. SHELLABARGER.


Milton J. Shellabarger was born on the farm where he now lives in Seventy- six township, Muscatine county, January 25, 1859. He is a son of John M. and Ruth P. (Collins) Shellabarger, the father a native of Ohio and the mother of New Jersey. John M. Shellabarger came to Muscatine county, Iowa, in 1846, and after looking over the country returned in January, 1847 to Cleveland, Ohio, walking the entire way. In 1852 he again set his face westward, continuing his journey until he reached Muscatine county once more and established his home, building a log cabin and making other improvements upon land which he secured in the wilderness. He became one of the well known farmers of Seventy-six township and continued upon the place where he first settled until he was called to his reward. His widow is now living in Guthrie county, Iowa, at the advanced age of eighty-four years. There were nine children in their family, six of whom are living in Iowa and other states.


The subject of this review received his education in the common schools and grew to manhood on the home farm, showing an interest and a capacity for agricultural pursuits even in his boyhood, which gave bright promise for his


778


HISTORY OF MUSCATINE COUNTY


future. After reaching manhood he rented the home farm, which he has owned since 1898. He has improved the place in many ways and brought it to a high state of cultivation, so that it is now one of the desirable properties of the township. He makes a specialty of raising and feeding stock.


In 1894 Mr. Shellabarger was united in marriage to Miss Cora Rice, who was born in Fayette county, Pennsylvania, in 1872, a daughter of Joseph and Mary (Rist) Rice, both of whom are natives of the Keystone state. The parents removed to Hancock county, Illinois, in 1872, ten years later going to Danville, Iowa, where they have ever since made their home. There were five children in their family, four of whom are now living. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Shellabarger has been blessed by the birth of seven children : John R., Ruthietta, Ralph W., Lile C., Maud E., Frank M., and Viola M.


Mr. Shellabarger has from the time of reaching his majority been a sup- porter of the republican party, and has taken an active interest in its success. He served for four years with general acceptance as member of the board of supervisors of the county and also has filled the offices of township trustee and school director. As a public official he exercised judgment that met the hearty approval of taxpayers. He and his wife are active members of the United Brethren church and believers in the inspiration and authority of the Old and New Testaments. As a native of Muscatine county Mr. Shellabarger has wit- nessed many changes throughout this part of the state and has assisted as opportunity presented in the march of progress as seen in beautiful homes and prosperous communities. He is widely known in this county where he has a host of friends.


F. E. RYNEARSON.


F. E. Rynearson, of Wilton township, can trace his ancestry on the paternal side to Norway, the great-grandfather coming to America at an early day. He also has fighting blood in his veins as he had four uncles who assisted valiantly in upholding the Union flag in the Civil war. He is a native of Morgan county, Indiana, born May 14, 1860, and is a son of De Witt Clinton and Rachel ( Wig- ham) Rynearson. The father was born in Darke county, Ohio, and lived for a time in Indiana and Michigan, coming to Iowa in 1875. After spending five years in this state he went to Kansas for his health but was too late and died very soon after arriving there. He was a carpenter hy trade but during the later years of his life devoted his attention to farming. The mother of our subject was a native of Morgan county, Indiana, and died in Muscatine county, Iowa, in 1877. There were nine children in the family, three of whom are now living: F. E., our subject; Theodore, now a farmer of Keokuk county, Iowa ; and Arminta, the wife of Grant Shepherd, of Columbus, Ohio.


Educated in the common schools of Indiana and Bloomington township, Muscatine county, F. E. Rynearson continued at home until after the death of his parents and then began providing for himself by working on a farm and later by running a steam engine. After several years he resumed farming and

HISTORY OF MUSCATINE COUNTY


purchased land near Wilton, which he later sold, living in Pike county, Missouri, for one season. He then purchased a farm in Bloomington township, Muscatine county, which he sold in the spring of 1910, and acquired forty acres of well improved land upon which he now lives. He makes a specialty of raising Jersey cows, and having a practical knowledge of his business, has attained a goodly measure of success.


In 1885 Mr. Rynearson was married to Miss Lavina Lemney of Muscatine county, and unto them two children have been born: Willis De Witt, who was born February 14, 1888, and is now a student in the high school at Wilton; and Jennie, at home. Being a man of strong determination, Mr. Rynearson gen- erally succeeds in what he undertakes. He has gained a substantial standing in the community which he selected as his permanent home and politically is affiliated with the republican party, to whose principles he gives his earnest support. He and his family are faithful members of the Latter Day Saints.


FRANCIS A. J. GRAY.


The great-grandfather of our subject, as a young married man, fresh from the north of Ireland, settled in western Pennsylvania, in what was then Wash- ington county and now Greene county, near where the village of Graysville now stands, in 1770. He blazed a farm in the wilderness and built thereon a block house. Shortly thereafter Indian troubles arose and he was driven from the land to Fort Jackson, located where Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, now stands, and was kept within this fort for seven years during the Revolutionary war. In this fort, David Gray, Jr., our subject's grandfather, was born in 1781. After the Revolution, and when the Indians had ceased to trouble them, they moved back on the land where F. W. Gray, father of Francis A. J. Gray, was born in 1804, grew to manhood, married, and, in his turn, cultivated the farm located in 1770. On this same farm, in 1831, our subject, Francis A. J. Gray, was born. He was reared to early manhood in this rugged, undeveloped country, with very limited schooling and abundant privileges to work.


When gold was discovered in California, he joined the rush for the precious metal, leaving his country home in February, 1850, with ahout twenty of his neighbors and relatives, going down the Ohio, up the Missouri, and outfitting for the trans-continental journey at Independence, Missouri. In May, 1850, they broke camp at Independence, and, after a long, hard journey, which re- sulted in death to several members of the party, foot-sore and weary, they landed at Hangtown, California, August 20, 1850. About two years were spent by Mr. Gray in California, seeking the yellow metal, which was not found in great abundance. He then returned to his Pennsylvania home, going down the Pacific, crossing the isthmus and back to New York.


On May 31, 1854, at Wellsburg, West Virginia, he was united in marriage with Adalene Palmer and they at once began housekeeping on the old farm in Pennsylvania. At the breaking out of the Rebellion, Mr. Gray heard the country's call for help and assisted in raising a company, and, in October, 1861, as second


780


HISTORY OF MUSCATINE COUNTY


lieutenant of Company C, Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, went to the front. This company saw its principal service in defense of Washington in the Shenan- doah valley. Moseby's raids were among the principal features.


Owing to ill health, Mr. Gray resigned and returned to his Pennsylvania home in October, 1863. In January, 1864, he moved with his family to Musca- tine county and settled on a farm in Wilton township, where he spent the re- mainder of his life and which is still occupied by his sons. The winter of 1864 saw the heaviest snow fall we think in the history of the country and when Mr. Gray arrived at Muscatine he found the highways so blocked with snow that it was three weeks before he could secure teamsters who would undertake to carry him to his farm in Wilton township, and when they did undertake the trip no more than a third of the way could they travel the highways but were compelled to go through the fields. Mr. Gray's labors as a farmer proved quite successful in Iowa. Starting in 1864 with eighty acres of land, unpaid for, at the time of his death, in 1905, he left a well improved farm of eight hundred and twenty acres, unincumbered.


Politically, Francis A. J. Gray was a Jeffersonian democrat, always affiliating with the Democratic party, and advocating what to him seemed best for the great mass of the people. He took an active part in the early life of the Patrons of Husbandry, otherwise called Grangers, among the results of whose labors was the reduction of railway fare from five cents to three cents per mile and the establishment of the railway commission. He was always opposed to all forms of sumptuary legislation and did all he could in opposition to the enact- ment of the prohibitory law. Mr. Gray served his county as representative in the seventeenth and eighteenth general assemblies, being elected as a Democrat while the county was republican by several hundred.


Mr. and Mrs. Gray reared a family of seven children: Thomas P., now of Keokuk, Iowa; Lucy G. Klepper, of Sweetland township, Iowa; Frank W., David W., Lindsey T., John G. and Sadie T. McClean, all of Winton township. Francis A. J. Gray died March 3, 1905, and his widow died December 28, 1908. They are both buried in Oakdale cemetery, Wilton, Iowa.


WILLIAM M. ROACH.


William M. Roach, for thirty-five years a prominent business man of Musca- tine and now deceased, left in the hearts of those who knew him memories of many beautiful acts which they shall never forget. Modest, gentle and kind, he was the possessor of a noble character and throughout his life was actuated by high motives and worthy ambitions. He was born at Brookville, Canada, on the St. Lawrence river, January 1, 1821, and when quite young was left an orphan, his parents dying from cholera. This was a severe blow but he had a brave heart and never yielded to discouragement. He grew to manhood in Canada and there received his education. After arriving at maturity he came to the conclusion that the United States presented advantages for a young man seeking his fortune not to be found elsewhere in the world. Accordingly lie

took up his residence for a time in Cincinnati, Ohio, later moving to Ports- mouthi, that state, where he was married in 1859, being then thirty-eight years of age. He came west to Muscatine in 1862 and here he and his father-in-law were identified with the boot and shoe business for nineteen years. As a side issue they also dealt in tallow, hides and furs. After Mr. Roach and his father- in-law dissolved partnership the former continued very successfully in the liide, tallow and fur business. He passed away July 13, 1898, at the age of seventy- seven years and six months. He was in almost perfect health all his life until a few days before his deatlı. The universal expression of regret in the city upon the announcement of his death gave evidence of the great esteem in which he was held by all who knew him.


On the 25th of August, 1859, at Portsmouth, Ohio, Mr. Roach was united in marriage to Miss Sarah M. Davidson, a daughter of Andrew and Elizabetlı (Meek) Davidson, the former of whom was born in Olio and the latter in Virginia. The mother died in Ohio in 1840 and the father canie to Muscatine in1 1862 and spent the remainder of his life in this city, dying in April, 1908, at the venerable age of ninety-five years and six months. He was one of the early shoe merchants of the city and later ran a ferry boat on the Mississippi river. He was three times married, his first union being with Elizabeth Meek, who was the mother of four children, Sarah M., John Meek, Greenburg Ridge- ley and Leroy P. Mrs. Roach was born in Winchester, Adams county, Ohio, November 13, 1835. By her marriage she became the mother of seven children, two sons and five daughters. Elizabethi is the widow of Henry Schafnit, and is living with her brother, William L. William L. is a member of the firm of Roach, Musser & Company, saslı and door works, of Muscatine. He married Miss Margaret Elizabeth McCarthy, who died in February, 1909, leaving three sons, John William, Edward Andrew and Robert. Lillian lives at home. Ada married Robert King, of Kansas City, where they now live. Ellen D. became the wife of A. L. Porter and they live in Spokane, Washington. Grace is living at home. One son, Arthur, died in infancy.


Mr. Roach was a member of the Methodist church, as is also Mrs. Roach, who is now living in Muscatine. He was devoted to his family and was never happier than when at his home surrounded by those he most loved. He was a patriotic citizen and in business exercised a rare ability which leads to success in all laudable undertakings. He was greatly esteemed by his friends and busi- ness associates, as he was at all times sincere and true, and his word once spoken was inviolate. It is therefore fitting, in view of his beautiful character, that his memory should be cherished by all who knew him.
