After leaving the army Captain Brown returned to his home in Vernon Springs, Howard county, Iowa, and was there mar- ried. On the ist of March, 1871, he came to Ottumwa as clerk in the office of General John M. Hedrick, supervisor of United States internal revenue for a district comprising eight north- western states and territories. He was soon after appointed United States internal revenue agent on the recommendation of General Hedrick and served in that capacity until October, 1881, resigning on account of failing health. Some of the most prom- inent citizens of Ottumwa in speaking of Mr. Brown's work in this office say that the service he rendered state and nation at this time cannot be overestimated. The Ottumwa National Bank was then being organized and Captain Brown was offered and ac- cepted the position of cashier. In August, 1883, he left the bank to become auditor of the coal mining, railroad and supply com- panies owned and operated by J. C. Osgood. This work, proving too arduous, was given up in July, 1884, and for three years he was out of business. In the fall of 1887 he organized the Ottumwa Savings Bank and was its president until August, 1895, when the condition of his health obliged him to give up all business.
On the 30th of August, 1866, at Vernon Springs, Howard county, Iowa, Captain Brown was united in marriage to Miss Adeline Phoebe Fall, daughter of Rev. George W. Fall of that county, the wedding ceremony being performed by the Rev. Charles E. Brown. Mrs. Adeline P. Brown is deceased, having passed away at Boulder, Colorado, on the 20th of April, 1903. By her marriage she had become the mother of five children. Frances Lyon, who was born at Cresco, Iowa, October 6, 1868, died at McGregor, this state, on the 31st of August, 1869, and was buried in the family lot of Rev. George W. Fall at Cresco. Benjamin Perry, whose birth occurred at McGregor, Iowa, De- cember 11, 1869, acquired his education in the public schools of Ottumwa and after putting aside his text-books entered the retail hardware store of the Harper & McIntire Company, then Harper, Chambers & Company, becoming connected with that establishment in May, 1886, in order to learn the business. In September, 1888, he began work in the Ottumwa Savings Bank, was made assistant cashier in 1891, and in August, 1895, was promoted to the position of cashier, in which capacity he is still serving, being widely known as a popular, capable and successful banker. On the 8th of May, 1895, he wedded Miss Laura Ken- dall of Ottumwa, the marriage ceremony being performed by

the Rev. L. F. Berry. Charles Edwin, whose birth occurred at Ottumwa, Iowa, November 9, 1872, there passed away on the 14th of October, 1874. Edith Adeline, who was born at Ot- tumwa, August 3, 1875, died at the Glockner Sanitarium in Colorado Springs on the 6th of June, 1893. Louise Fall, born in Ottumwa on the 28th of January, 1881, attended the public schools of this city in the acquirement of an education. On the 2d of May, 1905, in Ottumwa, she gave her hand in marriage to Lester M. Linton, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. P. A. Johnson.
Captain Brown has now passed the seventy-third milestone on life's journey and enjoys the respect and confidence of all who know him. In the varied relations of life he has stood as a mar, among men, accepting no false standards, holding to high ideals and exemplifying his sympathy with the world's progress in his own life.
OMER C. DAVIS.
An excellent farm property on section 3, Competine town- ship, is owned by Omer C. Davis, who ranks with the representa- tive agriculturists of the county. His work has been capably done in every connection, and his sound business judgment is manifest in his growing success. He is one of the county's native sons, born April 8, 1861. His parents were William and Pris- cilla (Mowery) Davis, of whom more extended mention is made on another page of this work in connection with the sketch of his brother George W. Davis. The usual experiences of the farm lad came to Omer C. Davis in his boyhood and youth. He at- tended the district schools and through the periods of vacation worked in the fields, taking his place behind the plow almost as soon as old enough to reach the plow handles. He has lived to see remarkable changes in the methods of farming and in the machinery used in the work of the fields, and at all times he has kept abreast with the trend of modern improvement. He re- mained under the parental roof until he attained his majority and then purchased the farm upon which he now resides, com- prising two hundred and sixty acres of land that is rich and arable. He has wrought a marked transformation in the appear- ance of the place by adding many improvements and modern
605
HISTORY OF WAPELLO COUNTY
equipments, and in addition to cultivating the cereals best adapted to soil and climate he raises good grades of stock and in the sale of his stock adds materially to his annual income.
In 1886 Mr. Davis was united in marriage to Miss Samantha Argenbright, who was born in this county and is a daughter of David and Winnie Argenbright, both of whom remained resi- dents of Wapello county until called to their final rest. To Mr. and Mrs. Davis were born four children: Frank E .; Doris Ida, now the wife of Rex V. Hawthorn; and William D. and Ira E., both at home. The wife and mother passed away January 1, 1897, and in 1898 Mr. Davis was again married, his second union being with Miss Mary E. Webb, a native of this county and a daughter of Isham and Jane Webb. Her father was born in Iowa, but her mother was born in Ohio and was brought to this state during her early girlhood. Mr. and Mrs. Webb were the parents of five children, four of whom yet survive. By Mr. Davis' second marriage there were born four children: Virgil, who was born in 1900 and died in 1902; Mamie A .; Ruth G .; and Lester O.
Mr. Davis gives his political support to the democratic party, but the honors and emoluments of office have never had attrac- tion for him. For twenty-seven years he has served on the school board and is much interested in the development and improve- ment of the schools, realizing how important a factor they are as a preparation for citizenship and all the duties of later life. Both he and his wife are members of the Baptist church and to its teachings are loyal.
WILLIAM CARLOS BROWN.
The world's leaders are few ; the great majority of people are content if not to remain in the position into which they were born to advance but a little way, lacking either the ambition or the determination which are indispensable elements of progress. Of a distinguished man a friend and poet once wrote: "Fate tried to conceal him by naming him Smith." Something similar might be said of Mr. Brown, but the innate force of his character, his undaunted energy and his unfaltering determination have gained for him such distinction as few men enjoy. He won place
606
HISTORY OF WAPELLO COUNTY
not only with the foremost magnates of the country but even in that class ranked as a leader. He was born in the Baptist par- sonage at Norway, Herkimer county, New York, July 29, 1853. The home was situated on the southern border of the great north woods that constituted the Adirondack wilderness. The family remained there until September, 1854, when a removal was made to Fenner, Madison county, New York, where they continued until May, 1856. They were afterward residents of Gaines and Murray in Orleans county until July, 1857, when the family home was established at Vernon Springs, Howard county, Iowa.
William Carlos Brown was educated in the common schools. Both he and his twin brother, George L. Brown, were very ener- getic and helpful to their parents. The mother was very proud of them and in return received their loving and dutiful affection. Their home training was such as developed in them sterling traits of character, and the lessons of thrift were never forgotten.
At an early age William Carlos Brown started out to earn his own living. Going to Thomson, Illinois, in 1868, he was em- ployed there for about two years in supplying wood for engines at a time when that fuel was used. Subsequently he worked as a section hand on the old Western Union Railroad, now a part of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, never dreaming that in the future he would be at the head of one of the largest railway companies on the American continent. Laudable ambition prompted him at all times to make the best possible use of his op- portunities, and he devoted his evenings to learning telegraphy. In the spring of 1870 he became an operator at Charles City on the Iowa & Dakota division of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad. He was afterward operator at various stations on the line in both Iowa and Minnesota until the spring of 1871, when he was made night operator in the train dispatcher's office at Minneapolis. In June, 1872, he went to the Iowa division of the Illinois Central Railroad as train dispatcher at Waterloo and in March, 1875, he went to Wilton Junction as train dis- patcher for the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad, there remaining until July, 1876, when he accepted a similar position on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad at Ottumwa, remaining with the road for two decades. He continued here for only a short time, however, for in the same month he was transferred to Burlington, where he remained as dispatcher until January 1, 1880. He was next chief dispatcher of the St. Louis division at Beardstown, Illinois, from the Ist of January, 1880,
607
HISTORY OF WAPELLO COUNTY
until January, 1881, and was train master of the same division at Beardstown until July, 1884. He next became assistant superin- tendent of the St. Louis division at Beardstown, remaining in that connection until January 1, 1887, when he became superin- tendent of the Iowa lines at Burlington, serving in that connection until August, 1890. He was next general manager of the Mis- souri lines of the Burlington system from August, 1890, until January, 1896, with headquarters at St. Joseph, Missouri, and a further step in his upward career came when he was made general manager at Chicago for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, retaining that relation until June 30, 1901.
His connection with the New York Central began on the ist of July, 1901, when he went to Cleveland, Ohio, as vice president and general manager of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern and Lake Erie & Western Railroads. In February, 1902, he was made vice president of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad and in February, 1905, became operating vice presi- dent. In June, 1906, he was made senior vice president and in 1908 was elected to the presidency of the New York Central lines, comprising the New York Central & Hudson River Rail- road, the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, the West Shore, the Western New York & Ottawa, the Indiana, Illinois & Iowa Railroads and others, including the Cleveland, Chicago, Cincin- nati & St. Louis, the Lake Erie, Alliance & Wheeling and the Chicago, Indiana & Southern. The system embraces twelve thousand miles of the most important railway lines in the world. It seems when we think of Mr. Brown's remarkable rise to the presidency of this great system from the humble position in which he was preparing wood for engines that he must have had an Aladdin lamp-so marvelous is the record-and vet careful investigation shows that the secret of success was such as any man might learn. Whatever duties were assigned him he performed capably, faithfully and willingly, giving to the work in hand his best efforts. He never scorned any task no matter how humble. His methods were ever clean and honest and the same policy has been pursued from the beginning throughout his wonderful career. The treatment he ever accorded the public and his subor- dinates was of the same quality of courtesy extended to his superiors. As he rose to positions of administrative direction it was seen that he was capable of directing the most complex and intricate railway interests. Often the change he has made in management of roads has been radical, but the end has justified
608
HISTORY OF WAPELLO COUNTY
the means, indicating his thorough understanding of every phase of the business bearing upon the subject in hand. Until he resigned the presidency of the New York Central lines and retired to private life in January, 1914, he was the active, direct- ing, responsible head of the great system in the combined trans- portation, engineering, equipment and mechanical departments. Responsibilities of so varied and important a character have never been attempted by a single individual in any system of railroading in the world. His powers were adequate to the demands made upon him. He gave proof of the fact that he possessed executive and administrative ability of the highest order. He combined untiring energy and industry with patience and good nature, displayed unswerving fidelity to his duties, and he possessed the priceless faculty of gaining and retaining the good-will of patrons and the love, respect and loyal support of employes of the road.
In manner Mr. Brown is modest, unassuming, genial, with no pride of position or power. His conduct embodies all that has become recognized as of the type of the gentleman of the old school. He is a remarkable man in a remarkable age, where most extensive interests have been combined and in their control have come forth men of notable powers, ready for any emergency and capable of finding successful solution for the most intricate and involved problems. His life should serve as an incentive to young men of future generations. Mr. Brown, however, takes no special credit to himself, nor is there about him any show of mock modesty. He recognizes the fact that he has passed beyond many who started out on life's journey with equal or perhaps better advantages, and yet he says that it is only that he has made good use of his time and opportunities and employed his powers to the best advantage. He has now retired from active life and it is his intention to make his home in Ottumwa.
At Lime Spring, Howard county, Iowa, on the 3d of June, 1874, Mr. Brown was united in marriage to Miss Mary Ella Hewitt, a daughter of C. C. and Mary (Cheesboro) Hewitt, the former a successful hardware merchant. Mrs. Brown is a most refined and beautiful woman, regarded as the belle of the city in which she lived. She is also a model wife, mother and home maker. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Brown were born three daughters, two of whom are married and reside in handsome homes near the present residence of their parents, Georgia, the eldest, being the wife of Dr. Frank Ellis Pierce, and Bertha, the wife of Dr. Kellogg Speed. Margaret, the youngest daughter, is at home.

HISTORY OF WAPELLO COUNTY
Mr. Brown loves outdoor life and sports. Farm interests are a source of recreation to him. He enjoys watching the cattle and horses and noting the growth of all farm products. He is an excellent judge of stock, and his farm property is splendidly equipped. A genial host, wealth and position have enabled him to promote the comfort and interests of his guests, yet his splendid prosperity has made no change in his treatment of his fellowmen. He stands today as he did in his young manhood, strong in his ability to plan and perform, strong in his honor and his good name-a high-principled, liberal-minded gentleman whom it is a pleasure to meet.
WILLIAM HURSEY COOPER.
Commercial activity in Ottumwa finds a worthy representa- tive in William Hursey Cooper, who in 1873 established the re- tail furniture business which he is still successfully conducting under the firm name of W. H. Cooper & Sons. A native of Maryland, he was born in Caroline county, January 25, 1842, and is a son of Samuel Jackson and Caroline (Moffitt) Cooper, who removed from Maryland to Pennsylvania in the year 1851. The son supplemented his preliminary education, acquired in the public schools, by study in Carmichael College of Pennsylvania and in 1865, when a young man of twenty-three years, he removed westward to Fairfield, Iowa, where he engaged in the manufac- ture of corn planters. He was married in 1867 and in the fol- lowing year came to Ottumwa, where he arrived in the month of April. For forty-six years, therefore, he has been a resident of this city and throughout the entire period has occupied a creditable position in business circles. In 1873 he embarked in the retail furniture business and has since conducted his store, in which he carries a large and well selected line of furniture. show- ing most attractive styles. The goods which he handles are from some of the best known and most reliable houses of the country and his fair and honorable dealing and reasonable prices have constituted the foundation of his growing success. As his sons have reached adult age he has admitted them to partnership and the business is now carried on under the firm style of W. H. Cooper & Sons. This is one of the oldest furniture establishments in the county and throughout the entire period of its existence
610
HISTORY OF WAPELLO COUNTY
the house has enjoyed an unassailable reputation. Mr. Cooper also has some real-estate interests, having made judicious invest- ments in property.
It was on the 21st of November, 1867, that Mr. Cooper was united in marriage to Miss Lydia Jane Wisecarver, a daughter of Samuel and Mary (Wilson) Wisecarver. The children of this marriage are: James Clarence and Edward Giles, who are associated with their father in the firm of W. H. Cooper & Sons ; Guy William, who is engaged in the furniture business at Shen- andoah, Iowa; Frederick Richard, who is vice president and general manager of the Abilena Water Sales Company at Chi- cago; and Abbie Florence and Laura Georgia, both of Ottumwa. The parents are members of the Baptist church, in the work of which they take an active interest and to whose support they con- tribute liberally. Mr. Cooper is serving as one of the church trustees. His political allegiance is given the republican party, but he does not seek nor desire office, preferring to concentrate his energies upon his business affairs. His has been a well spent life, active and useful, and the principles which have guided him in all of his relations with his fellowmen have made him one of the representative and valued citizens of the community.
JAMES DE GRUSH BROWN.
Although a resident of St. Joseph, Missouri, James De Grush Brown at one time made his home in Ottumwa and is well known here to many of the citizens of Wapello county, where his brother, Charles P. Brown, still resides. He was born Feb- ruary 9, 1846, in Le Claire township, Scott county, Iowa, a few miles west of the Mississippi river, when that district was a pioneer region, the nearest neighbor living a half mile to the south. Wolves could be heard howling at night, prairie chickens and other wild game could be had in abundance and Indians were occasional visitors in the neighborhood. With the usual experiences of frontier life James D. Brown and the others of the household became familiar. He had but limited educational privileges, but he was a great reader and in the school of experi- ence learned many valuable lessons. He spent a few terms in teaching school in the country districts, and in 1867 he began work for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Co., acting
611
HISTORY OF WAPELLO COUNTY
with the locating engineers on the Iowa & Dakota division. Later he was operator at various stations on the lowa & Minnesota division and was agent at Lime Spring for fifteen years.
On the Ist of February, 1889, he entered the service of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad as agent at Fairfield and on the Ist of April, 1890, he came to Ottumwa, where he remained until June 1, 1903. He was very popular as a citizen of Ottumwa. He possessed the social qualities which brought him warm regard and the sterling traits of character which enabled him to retain the friendship of those with whom he was associated. On the Ist of June, 1903, he became traveling freight agent for the Indiana, Iowa & Illinois Railroad and that he won advancement is indicated in the fact that in the fall of 1905 he was promoted to the position of general agent at St. Joseph, Missouri, for the New York Central lines. His success has been worthily won, and he stands today among those who control important railway interests, directing mammoth affairs with the ease and ability that come through long practice and intelligently directed effort.
In 1862 Mr. Brown enlisted in the Sixteenth United States Regiment of Infantry, being then sixteen years of age. An acute and serious illness unfitted him for service and caused his dis- charge on account of disability a few months later to his great disappointment and regret. The spirit of patriotism has ever been a dominant one in his life, however, and has been manifest in support of many worthy public measures. His business record is a notable and honorable one, placing him in a distinguished position, where he controls important interests. Ottumwa re- members with pleasure the period of his residence here, and through visits to his brother he continues his acquaintance with many of his old-time friends in Wapello county.
ERNST KOCH.
Ernst Koch was born in Uslar, a small town near Gottingen, in the province of Hanover, Germany, being the son of George Koch, a quartermaster in the German army, who died six months later. In 1866 he came to America, landing in Wheeling, West Virginia, where he was identified with the heavier branch of the building trade, being employed on the construction of rolling
612
HISTORY OF WAPELLO COUNTY
mills, nail mills, etc. After a few years he was appointed as fore- man and later general superintendent of some of the largest works, costing over seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. In 1873 he returned to Germany to study architecture and mechanical engineering. During vacation he made trips to England and France and also up the River Rhine. On one of these trips he worked for two weeks in the Krupp gun works at Essen in order to have an opportunity to inspect the plant. After spending three years at college he returned to this country in 1876, during the exposition in Philadelphia. Before leaving the fatherland he had closed a contract to supervise the erection of the Benwood Iron Works, which were completed just at the beginning of the strike and panic at Pittsburg in 1877. In 1878 he made his way south to Little Rock, Arkansas. At the end of two years, however, his health had become so impaired that he was obliged to seek a more beneficial climate and thus took up his abode in Ottumwa in 1880. Few buildings were at that time being erected in the city which required plans, so Mr. Koch secured an interest in the Ottumwa Road Cart Company, his associates being C. Inskeep, Dr. O'Neal, Dr. Diffenbacher and John Robison. In 1885 he was called to the bedside of his mother in Germany and she died a year later, at the age of eighty-four. After spending three years in Germany he returned to the United States in 1888 and settled permanently in Ottumwa. He has drawn plans for a large number of impor- tant structures in Ottumwa, including the Hofmann building, the Masonic building, the Edgerly wholesale drug house, the Harper-McIntire wholesale building, the Elks building, and the Hunter-Bonnifield building, which is now in course of construc- tion. Mr. Koch has drawn the plans for many attractive resi- dences in the city which stand as monuments to his architectural skill and ability and give evidence of his success in his chosen life work. He is a popular member of the local lodge of the Benevo- lent Protective Order of Elks and has an extensive circle of friends throughout Ottumwa and vicinity.
