Mr. Brand was married in 1880 to Miss Rose Crabb and by that union four children were born, Samuel, Ezra, Lena and Rose, but the last named is now deceased, while the mother has also departed this life. Mr. Brand was married again in 1905. his second union being with Dell Stephens, a daughter of F. M. Stephens. By this marriage there is one daughter, Bessie.
Mr. Brand through his reading keeps in close touch with the current issues of the day but does not take an active part in public affairs. Devoted to his home and his family. he finds his greatest enjoyment at his own fireside, where his wife and intimate friends know him to be a delightful companion. Each change he has made in his business life has given him a wider outlook and broader scope for the exercise of his energy, ambition and industry, and his fine farm of one hundred and sixty acres is the visible evidence of the success he has won.
C. S. JONES.
C. S. Jones, who is familiarly called Tip by a large circle of friends, a fact which indicates the affections and good will with which he is regarded by his fellowmen, was born in Johnson county, Iowa, on the Ist of January, 1858, and is a son of Elias U. and Ruth (Singleton) Jones, natives of Virginia and West Virginia respectively. The father went to Kentucky in early manhood, from which place he removed to Illinois and later came to Iowa, taking up his abode first in Scott county and later in Johnson county. In 1876 he came to Taylor county and was numbered among the early settlers of this district. Here he opened up a farm upon which he continued to reside until his demise, which occurred in December, 1907, when he lacked but seven days of having reached the advanced age of eighty-two years. His widow still survives and makes her home upon that farm, which is a well improved and valuable property.

HISTORY OF TAYLOR COUNTY
On his father's farm in Johnson county, C. S. Jones spent the first eighteen years of his life, and in the common schools of that county acquired his educa- tion. In 1876, he came with his parents to Taylor county and remained with his father, giving him the benefit of his assistance in the operation of the home farm, until he attained man's estate, when he took up agricultural pursuits on his own account, wisely choosing as a life work the occupation to which he had been reared. On the 8th of April, 1883, he was united in marriage to Kate Rutledge, a daughter of William Rutledge, of whom extended mention is made on another page of this volume. Mrs. Jones was born in Ohio, where she was reared and educated, attending the common schools of Conway, and later was engaged in teaching school in that state.
After his marriage Mr. Jones operated the Rutledge farm for about six years, and then purchased his present farm, upon which he located in 1888. It con- sists of one hundred and twenty acres located on section 2, Marshall township, and under his care has been brought to a good state of cultivation. He has erected a neat and attractive house and substantial barns and outbuildings, which stand as monuments to his thrift and enterprise. He has also set out a good grove and orchard, and the farm is now one of the well improved properties of the township. He carries on general farming and also engages in the rais- ing and feeding of stock, both branches of his business proving sources of gratifying remuneration.
The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Jones was blessed with five children, who are as follows : Dessie, a graduate of Simpson College, at Indianola, Iowa, who is a teacher in the primary department of the Sharpsburg school; Clara, a teacher of music who also attended Simpson College; and Ruth, Wilma and John, stu- dents in the public schools. The parents and three daughters are members of the Methodist Episcopal church at Sharpsburg Mr. Jones being a class teacher and active Sunday-school worker. He holds membership in the Modern Woodmen camp of Johnson county, while politically he gives his allegiance to the republican party in all matters involving national issues. In local affairs, however, he votes an independent ticket, supporting the men and measures which he deems will best conserve public welfare, regardless of party ties. He has been identi- fied with the schools of the county for some time, having served as a director of the board for a number of years and aided in the erection of two school buildings. Of a genial and kindly disposition, he is popular among a large circle of warm friends who know him as a man of strict integrity and honorable prin- ciples. His close application to his business, his unremitting diligence and his ability in controlling agricultural interests have been elements in a success which is as honorable as it is gratifying.
THOMAS BENTON KEPLINGER, M. D.
Dr. Thomas Benton Keplinger, a physician and surgeon of Conway, who is successfully practicing, his ability bringing to him ready recognition from those who need professional services of this character, has been a resident of Taylor county from his boyhood days. His life record is therefore as an open
688
HISTORY OF TAYLOR COUNTY
book to the people of this community and it is one which merits for him the esteem in which he is uniformly held. Dr. Keplinger was born in Kosciusko county, Indiana, on the 26th of July, 1861. He came to Taylor county with his father in 1865 and supplemented his carly educational privileges by study in Amity College and in the state university, having graduated from the latter institution with the class of 1881. He received the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1885 and that of Master of Arts in 1888. In the meantime he engaged in teaching in Nebraska for a few years, but in 1892, he returned to the Iowa university, matriculating in the medical department, from which he was grad- uated with the M. D. degree in 1895. He then located in Cedar county, where he engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery, continuing there until 1898. In that year he came to Conway, where he has since made his home and in the intervening eleven years he has built up a large practice. In the discharge of his professional duties he is quite successful, for he is very careful in the diagnosis of his cases, studies closely the conditions of his patients and is accurate in the application of his scientific knowledge of specific needs. Since coming to Con- way he has taken a post-graduate course and is regarded as one of the best trained and most thoroughly equipped physicians of Taylor county.
Dr. Keplinger was united in marriage in this county on the 6th of Septem- ber, 1891, to Miss Fannie Alderson, who was born in Cook county, Illinois, and was reared in Taylor county, Iowa. She is a lady of superior educational and social attainments and presides with gracious hospitality over her pleasant home. Unto the doctor and his wife has been born a daughter, Hattie Frances. The parents are active members of the Conway Methodist Episcopal church and Dr. Keplinger belongs also to the Masonic lodge, while he and his wife are both connected with the Eastern Star, Mrs. Keplinger now serving as worthy matron of the chapter. The doctor commenced life for himself as a poor boy and has made his way upward from his youth, meeting the expenses of his different school and college courses with the fruits of his own labor. The elemental strength of his character. which he thus desplayed in acquiring an education, has been manifest throughout his entire life, and a laudable ambition has prompted him to do the most efficient work possible for his patrons. He is widely known as a leading physician and a progressive and public-spirited citizen of Taylor county.
JAMES M. GREEN.
James M. Green, one of the leading agriculturists of Holt township, whose farm lies on section 14, was born at Morning Sun, Louisa county, Iowa, Octo- ber 9. 1862. a son of Edwin and Eleanor (Swan) Green. The father was born in Ohio and came to Iowa about 1856, settling first in Louisa county, where he lived for over twenty years. In 1879, he removed to Holt township, Taylor county, and here made his home until his death, which occurred in 1900. He was a farmer by occupation and a consistent member of the Presbyterian church, by whose precepts he tried to order his life. His wife was also a native of Ohio, but they were married in Iowa. She is still living and makes her home with her
689
HISTORY OF TAYLOR COUNTY
son James M. Green. She attends the services of the Presbyterian church and in that faith reared her seven children. They were: Charles and Benjamin, both deceased; one who died in infancy ; Laura, who is the wife of William Stevens, of Grove township, Taylor county; Nancy, deceased, who was the wife of John Armstrong, a resident of this county; Thomas, who is living in Kansas; and James M., the subject of this sketch.
James M. Green spent his boyhood days in Louisa county and in this county, attending the district schools, from which he received a fair English education. After the completion of his own schooling he engaged in teaching others for one year and then was employed on farms for some months. The next fourteen years were spent in mercantile business in Sharpsburg, Taylor county, and three years ago he came to Holt township, to assume the management of the farm which had belonged to his wife's parents and which was known as the Pratt place. It consists of eighty acres on which Mr. Green pursues a general farm- ing and also devotes considerable time to the dairy business, in which he has engaged to some extent. A man of many experiences from which he has de- rived a creditable amount of success, there can be little doubt that his agri- cultural undertakings will prosper also and that in time he will be numbered among those who uphold the reputation of his township as a fine farming district.
On the 20th of March, 1889, Mr. Green married Miss Ollie Pratt, who was born in Benton county, Iowa, and is a daughter of Jasper M. and Ursula (Hust- ings) Pratt. The father has passed away, but Mrs. Pratt is still living and makes her home with Mr. and Mrs. Green. They have one child, Milo L., who is at home.
Mr. and Mrs. Green attend services at Prairie Chapel of the Presbyterian church in Holt township and Mr. Green is now one of its elders. Politically he affiliates with the republican party as his views coincide with the principles ex- pressed in its platform. Although a recent addition to the community, he has already secured the confidence of its citizens, who elected him assessor of Holt township and he is now serving in that position. While he was in business in Sharpsburg he was initiated into the Modern Woodmen of America and still attends the meetings of the camp at that place, for he is a zealous member, deeply concerned for the welfare of his fraternal brothers.
LEONARD W. PERKINS.
Leonard W. Perkins, who carries on general farming on section II. Gay township, is one of Iowa's native sons and a representative of one of the old pioneer families of the state. He was born in Wayne county, October 23. 1859. his parents being Alexander and Martha Sarah (Moore) Perkins. The father was a native of Indiana, where he was reared, but in early manhood came to Iowa, casting in his lot among the early settlers of Wayne county who were engaged in reclaiming the wild region for the purposes of civilization. Much of
690
HISTORY OF TAYLOR COUNTY
the prairie was still in possession of the government and Mr. Perkins entered a claim and opened up a farm which is still in his possession. His wife was also a native of Indiana and spent her girlhood days in that state. They are now both well advanced in years, Mr. Perkins being about seventy-four years of age, while his wife is but a little younger. At the time of the Civil war Mr. Perkins put aside all business and personal considerations that he might aid the Union in the struggle to maintain the supremacy of the civil government. He joined Company D, of the Twenty-third Iowa Volunteer Infantry and, con- tinuing at the front until the close of hostilities, was then honorably discharged, having made a creditable military record through the loyal aid which he rendered.
The public-school system of Wayne county afforded Leonard W. Perkins the educational privileges which he enjoyed in his boyhood and youth. Through the periods of summer vacations he worked in the fields, assisting his father in carrying on the task of cultivating the cereals best adapted to soil and climate. Practical experience, therefore, well qualified him to take charge of a home of his own when, in 1881, he came to Taylor county and purchased one hundred and sixty acres of raw land. With characteristic energy he began breaking the sod and after he had made a start toward developing his farm he returned to Wayne county and completed his arrangements for having a home of his own by his marriage there, on the 17th of September, 1881, to Miss Nancy Sheets. She was born in Wayne county and spent her girlhood days within its borders. Fol- lowing their marriage the young couple began their domestic life on the farm which is now their home, Mr. Perkins' building there a small dwelling to which he has since added. He also built a barn and carried on the work of improving his farm along various lines. A fine grove on the place was set out by him, to- gether with the orchard, and is now yielding good fruit in season. That the soil is rich and productive is seen in the crops which he annually harvests as the result of the care and labor which he bestows upon the fields. Stock raising, too. is a profitable source of his income, and he makes a specialty of raising and fattening hogs, shipping quite a large number to the market each fall.
Mr. and Mrs. Perkins have become the parents of two sons and four daugh- ters : Samuel, who is married and follows farming in Gay township; Harry, at home : Ellen, the wife of J. N. Phillips, a farmer of Gay township ; Mary, Lenore and Edna, all still under the parental roof. The family is widely known in Gay township and the members of the household occupy an enviable position in the social circles in which they move.
Fraternally Mr. Perkins is connected with the Odd Fellows Lodge at Maloy, having joined the order there. He is also a member of the Modern Woodmen Camp at Clearfield, Iowa. He exercises his right of franchise in support of the men and measures of the republican party where state and national issues are involved, but otherwise casts an independent ballot. Political office has never had any attraction for him, yet he has served as road supervisor and as a member of the school board for two years. He does not neglect his duties of citizenship but prefers that his public service shall not call him to office. He desires, how- ever, that the best interests of the community shall at all times be furthered, and to this end he lends his aid and cooperation to every movement for the general good. His life has been quietly passed, and yet there are in his record elements
691
HISTORY OF TAYLOR COUNTY
that are well worthy of emulation, for he has sought his success along the legiti- mate lines of labor, and his efforts have at all times conformed to a high standard of business ethics.
J. E. POWELL.
J. E. Powell, busily occupied with the duties of his farm of one hundred and sixty acres situated on section 21, Grant township, is known not only as a pre- gressive farmer and stock-raiser but also as one of the active and influential citi- zens of his district, where he is now serving as assessor. He was born in Rock Island county, Illinois, December 13, 1855, and was reared in that and Mercer counties, spending his youth largely on farms. He remained with his grand- parents until twenty-four years of age and during that period was carefully trained in the work of the fields so that broad experience constituted the founda- tion for his success when he started out in life on his own account. In 1880, he came to Iowa, settling in Taylor county and for one year engaged in farming in Mason township. He then removed to Conway, where he carried on farming for three years. In 1884 he went to southeastern Nebraska and purchased a farm in the vicinity of Lincoln. Some of this land was broken, and with char- acteristic energy he began the further cultivation and improvement of the place. His tract originally comprised one hundred and twenty acres, to which he after- ward added from time to time, owning one hundred and eighty acres when he decided to leave Nebraska and returned to Iowa. This was in the year 1893. He then sold his property in that state and in Taylor county purchased the farm upon which he now resides, taking up his abode on this place in the spring of 1894. During the past fifteen years he has devoted his energies continuously to its cultivation and improvement and has erected thereon a neat and attractive residence and a large barn. He has also set out an orchard, has a nice grove and a neat lawn. After farming here for three seasons, however, he removed to Conway. where he established a hardware business, while later he represented the commercial interests of the town as a general merchant. Her carried on business there as proprietor or a clerk for about nine years but is now giving his attention to general agricultural pursuits, and in connection with the tilling of the soil he raises, feeds and ships stock. He is an excellent judge of domestic animals and handles stock of good grades for which he finds a ready market.
In September, 1883, in Bedford. Mr. Powell was united in marriage to Miss Mary Chiles, a native of Texas, who spent the greater part of her girlhood in Illinois and Iowa. There are two children, Claud F., a young man who holds a position in the Cooper Bank at Conway; and George Guy. who aids in the operation of the home farm. They also had one daughter, Delphia, who died when four months old.
In his political views Mr. Powell is a democrat and has supported the party since casting his first presidential ballot for Grover Cleveland. In Conway, he served as assessor for six years and is now serving for the second term as assessor of Grant township, having been the incumbent in the office already for
692
HISTORY OF TAYLOR COUNTY
four years. He discharges his duties in a prompt, systematic and capable man- ner so that his official record is thoroughly comniendable. His wife is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, while Mr. Powell belongs to the Masonic fraternity, in which he has taken the degrees of the lodge, chapter and com- mandery. His name is likewise on the membership rolls of Conway Lodge, 1. O. O. F., in which he has filled all of the chairs and is a past grand. He joined the order in Illinois, filled all of the offices in the lodge to which he belonged in that state, was honored with equal official preferment when in Nebraska and again in Conway, and in all three states has been a representative from the local lodge to the grand lodge. He is well known in Bedford, Lenox, Clearfield and other points in Taylor county, and his record as a business man and an official indicates his tried integrity and worth and has constituted the basis of the confidence and esteem entertained for him throughout the com- munity.
GEORGE THOMAS IRWIN.
George Thomas Irwin, who owns and operates a fine farm of one hundred and twenty acres in Washington township and is meeting with gratifying suc- cess in his agricultural pursuits, is a native of Taylor county, his birth here occurring on the 9th of September, 1872. His father, Thomas Irwin, was a farmer by occupation and passed from this life at the extreme old age, of one hundred and ten years. The mother, who still resides on the old farm in Holt township, was one of three children born unto her parents, the others being Nobel and Eliza Harrigan. By her marriage to Mr. Irwin she became the mother of seven children, the brothers and sisters of our subject being: William, James. Robert. Susie, Ida and Jane.
Reared amid the scenes and environments of rural life, George Thomas Irwin attended the public school at Holt Center until eighteen years of age, and during that time. when not engaged with his text-books, he assisted his father in the work of the farm. early becoming familiar with the tasks that fall to the coun- try lad. He remained under the parental roof until twenty-one years of age, and then he engaged in agricultural pursuits on his own account, renting a farm which he operated for two years. At the expiration of that period he became identified with the meat business, becoming the proprietor of a market which he conducted for twelve years. This venture proved a profitable one, his good business management bringing to him a gratifying measure of pros- perity. and during this time he was the owner of several different farms. Subse- quent to his withdrawal from the meat business, however, he purchased his present farm of one hundred and twenty acres in Washington township and has since directed his attention to the occupation of farming. His fields have been brought under a high state of cultivation and the atmosphere of neatness and prosperity which surrounds the place is indicative of the thrift and enter- prise of its owner. Mr. Irwin, in connection with general farming, is also in- terested in Live stock, raising sheep, hogs, cattle and horses, and he enjoys a substantial annual income from the fact that both branches of his business are
693
HISTORY OF TAYLOR COUNTY
proving most profitable. He has placed many improvements upon his farm, re- building the barn and erecting a very comfortable and attractive residence, and the place is now one of the desirable farming properties of Washington town- ship.
It was on the 22d of February, 1902, that Mr. Irwin was united in marriage to Miss Cecelia Agnes Marlow, a daughter of Henry and Kate (McInerney) Marlow, who is one of eight children born unto her parents, the other members of her family being: Alice, Elizabeth, Theresa, Henrietta, Peter, Herbert and Mary, of whom the two last named are now deceased.
Although not an office-seeker, Mr. Irwin takes a deep interest in all matters pertaining to civic virtue and civic pride. Fraternally he is a third degree Mason, holding membership in the blue lodge, while he is likewise connected with the Knights of Pythias and the Modern Woodmen, and is a valued and respected member thereof. He has been successful in his various enterprises, but he has sought his success along the line of earnest and honorable labor, his business integrity remaining at all times unquestioned, while the methods which he has ever employed have won for him the confidence, respect and good will of his fellowmen.
JOHN ANDERSON.
Among the prominent and representative citizens of Clearfield whose activity in business lines is bringing to them a substantial degree of prosperity, is John Anderson, who for about sixteen years has been the proprietor of a successful lumber business, dating his residence in this city since 1893. He claims Sweden as the place of his nativity, his birth there occurring at Nasum, in the province of Christianstadt, on the 13th of September, 1862, his parents being Anders Thomas- son and Bengta Pearson. He spent the period of his boyhood and youth in his native land and in 1878, when sixteen years of age, came to the new world, lo- cating on a farm in Warren county, Illinois. His education, which had been be- gun across the water, was continued in the schools of Illinois and he afterward benefited by a course of study in the Davenport Business College, of Daven- port, Iowa, becoming thus well equipped for the practical and responsible duties of business life.
After laying aside his text-books Mr. Anderson carried on agricultural pur- suits on a farm in Illinois for some time and then became identified with lumber and grain interests, learning the lumber business in Alexis, Illinois. The year 1893 witnessed his arrival in Clearfield, Iowa, where he bought out J. P. Rumble & Son, in an established lumber business in partnership with C. W. Edwards. He has a large yard and carries an extensive and complete stock of various kinds of lumber and building materials. He was most successful from the start and dur- ing his long connection with business interests in this city he has built up an ex- cellent trade which has already reached extensive proportions and is constantly increasing in volume. He has carefully studied the demands of the trade and keeps in close touch with the lumber market, so that he has been able to make wise purchases and profitable sales. His keen business sagacity and good judg-
694
HISTORY OF TAYLOR COUNTY
ment, too, have been salient characteristics in his present prosperity, and he is numbered among the progressive and successful business men of Grant township.
It was on the 29th of August, 1906, that Mr. Anderson was united in marriage to Miss Belle M. Franklin, who was born and reared in Taylor county. Her father, W. H. Franklin, was one of the early settlers and a prominent farmer of Grant township. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Anderson was born one son, Franklin John, who is the life and light of the household.
The parents are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which Mr. Anderson is serving as a trustee. Mr. Anderson is stalwart in his support of the principles of the republican party, and although he has served as a member of the town council, he has never sought nor desired public office as a reward for party fealty. Upon arriving in Clearfield he purchased the property where they now reside. He rebuilt and remodeled the dwelling and now owns a modern and attractive home, which is a favorite resort with many friends by reason of its warm-hearted and generous hospitality. Mr. Anderson is a man of exemplary habits, of strict integrity and true worth of character, and his prosperity has been so honorably won that not even the most envious could grudge him his success. He also ranks among Clearfield's most public-spirited and loyal citizens, his in- fluence ever being upon the side of progress, reform and advancement.
