complish wonders in the West, and elevate men from humble positions in life, to a rank with the foremost of the merchants, manufacturers or professional men. This is exemplified in a marked degree in the standing and personal degree of confidence attained by the firm of Peck & Becker.
G. W. KELSALL is the principal storekeeper in this town hav- ing been engaged in business since 1870. On the 29th of De- cember, 1872, Mr. Kelsall was appointed postmaster, a position which he has since occupied to the honor and credit of the cit- izens generally. During the fall of 1876 he erected a large massive stone structure to be used as a country store. It is a two story building, each 12 feet, with a front of 30 feet, a depth of 14 feet, walls three feet thick in the front, and two feet thick on the sides. It cost $4,000, and is without doubt one of strongest and most durable as well as commodious country stores in the county.
The people of Canton are of a liberal progressive turn, and intend that this town shall not be behind its neighbors in pub- lic improvements. As an evidence of this may be noted the fact that they have now in process of erection a fine public school building, which will have an artificial stone front, occupy an area of 24x40 feet and cost about $1,500.
The names of all the residents will be found alphabetically arranged in the Directory proper.
VAN BUREN
Commonly known as Buck-Eye, is a postoffice about three miles north of Preston. Mr. Otto Schmidt is postmaster, a gentleman who has been a resident of this county over 20 years. He keeps a general store, which he opened in the fall of 1870, and his stock embraces everything to be found in any first-class country store.

PRESTON.
Preston, a lively and go-ahead town, is located on the Sabula, Ackley & Dakota Railroad, fifteen miles west of the Mississippi river. It was laid out by Z. DeGroat, in company with several other gentlemen, in the fall of 1870, and it was on the 3d day of December of that year that the first railroad train arrived in Preston. Such was the impetus given to the place by the inroad of the iron horse, that over seventy-five buildings were erected the following year.
Preston is peopled by a class of men at once vigorous and en- terprising, who do not propose to take a back seat in the. race for future prosperity and aggrandisement. It stands in the midst of good agricultural land, and has excellent railroad facili- ties. The dwelling houses of some of the residents are costly and handsome, with great scenic advantages, one of the most noticeable being that of Mr. DeGroat, which was erected in 1870 at a cost of $7,000.
The public school building is very handsome and commodious, occupying a prominent position, and constituting the chief adornment of the town in which it has been built. It was erected in 1873, and cost $10,000.
There are two fine church edifices, one built by a union of two congregations-Methodist and Congregational, and the other by the Christian or Carmelite denomination. These, coupled with the fact that they have a literary association of more than ordinary merit, insures to the new comer those social, religious and intellectual advantages which should ever be an object of the highest interest. The town is remarkably healthy. Lots in choice locations can be bought for from $50 to $200.
Business of all kinds is very active, and there is more ship- ping done here than at any point between Sabula and Marion.
The town has a well conducted weekly paper, the Preston

SKETCH OF THE CITY OF PRESTON.
79
The following are brief sketches of some of the most promi- nent and representative men engaged in active business pur- suits in the thriving and prosperous town of Preston :
Z. DEGROAT, a resident of this township for twenty-two years, is the gentleman to whom Preston owes most of its pres- tige as a progressively live town. He came from Utica, N. Y., in 1856, and hired himself to a man named Hunter at $16 per month and board. During that time, by the indomitable per- severance of a naturally energetic character, he has become rich and honored the country over. He is President of the "Free Masons' Mutual Aid Association of Iowa," and takes an active interest in whatever developes his State, American soci- ety, and the country at large ; his characteristics are great ener- gy, industry and persistency in whatever work he undertakes; his honor and integrity unimpeachable, social in his habits, charitable and benevolent, a faithful friend and a merry com- panion, ever ready to assist in all good works whether for pri- vate welfare or the public benefit.
DAY & HOBART are dealers in Agricultural Implements, and is composed of Mr. J. C. Day, the largest dealer in hardware in Sabula, and Mr. Hobart, a gentleman of large experience and practical attainments in his particular line of business. Their warerooms are two story, 24x64, blacksmith shops 24x40 and from what we hear their principal aim seems to be to obtain agencies of the best known implements and only those of acknowledged merit and superiority.
HENRY SPECHT, proprietor of the Mitchell House, is a gentle- man known far and wide for his genial and courteous treatment of all persons with whom he has contact. He is an extensive dealer in live stock, grain and produce, and has a first-rate livery stable in connection with his hotel. He has been a res- ident of this county twenty-four years.
HENRY THILL, dealer in lumber, laths, shingles, sash doors, mouldings and spouting, also handles live stock to

some extent, and takes an active interest in the prosperity of his town.
JOHN PETERS was established in the hardware line in 1871, and now does an extensive business in blacksmith and wagon- makers' stock, shelf and heavy hardware, fine cutlery, iron and steel, and a full line of stoves of all kinds, and to any one desiring anything in his line we cannot too highly recommend this worthy citizen.
J. S. PRIOR is proprietor of that first-class hostelrie known as the DeSoto House, and which has become quite a resort among traveling men and commercial tourists on account of the good cheer and home-like comfort obtainable there. Mr. Prior is a hotel keeper of experience, and knows how to cater to the trav- eling community. He also has teams for those who desire to visit any outlying point.
Among others as deserving of notice may be mentioned B. F. McMANIGAL, REIFF & BEHRNS, JAMES M. JACOBSEN, J. D. SMITH, &c.
For the full list of names of citizens see directory proper.
FULTON
Is located in Farmers' Creek Township, eight miles from Maquoketa City. It was laid out in the year 1851 by William Morden. It has a good public school building, erected in 1870, with an average attendance of about 60. A Presbyterian Church was built in 1874 at a cost of $1,800. The main busi- ness of the town consists in the large general mercantile busi- ness carried on by Mr. W. C. Morden, whose stock is one of the largest in the county. Mr. Morden is a gentleman whom it is an honor to know, and whose genial qualities of mind and heart will ever be remembered by the writer; in fact,

his popularity with all classes is such that he has attained to the highest and most honorable position in the county, that of Chairman of the Board of Supervisors.
There are two saw mills located near this place. One, owned and operated by Mr. W. H. Slipper, a gentleman of known re- liability, does the most extensive hard-wood lumber manufac- turing in this county, his sales extending in a large radius, em- bracing Davenport, Dubuque, and other centres of trade. Mr. Slipper is also proprietor of one of the finest farms in the West, consisting of over 600 acres in a high state of cultivation.
Fulton Lodge No. 339, I. O. O. F. Officers-John Ward, N. G .; O. K. Cheeney, V. G. ; H. T. Ward, Secretary ; W. C. Morden, Treasurer. Meet every Saturday.
SPRAGUEVILLE.
A small village situated about three and one-half miles north- west from Preston, was named after a Mr. Sprague, who made a claim here in 1841. In 1856 Tompkins and Alexander erect- ed a large flouring mill ; shortly after Mr. T. sold his interest to Mr. A. Riley, who continued its operations for many years in company with Mr. Alexander. The first store was opened by John Brown, who subsequently in 1864 sold out to Mr. Al- exander, who continued the business. Most of the advance- ment in this place is due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Alexan- der, who laid out the town in lots and erected the first school house in 1867. Mr. Alexander has. lately opened up a new stock of goods, which, we understand, he is retailing at remark- ably low figures. Mr. A. will please accept our grateful ac- knowledgments for assistance rendered in arranging matter rel- ative to his township and surrounding country, and we cannot speak in too high terms of this gentleman, whom it is a pleas-

ure to meet and of whom it is said by those who have dealt with him that they have found him strictly honest in business, fair in his dealings, social in his relations, and genial in his dis- position.
Another chief interest of this place is the Deep Creek Mills, mentioned above, and which are conducted by Mr. C. H. Riley. The mill cost when erected $14,000, has three run of burrs, and capacity for manufacturing over 46 barrels per day. Mr. Riley has recently made extensive additions at a cost of $3,300, and always having plenty of water has unequalled facilities for man- ufacturing.
In addition to the above there are three blacksmith shops, a drug store, postoffice, several saloons, two physicians, hotel, carpenters, shoemakers, etc., etc.
ST. DONATUS,
Situated in Tete des Morts Valley, and in the township of the same name, is ten miles north-west from Belle- vue, was laid out by Mr. Krier in 1854, and the first post- office was established in 1856 by Peter Gellen. A flour mill was built in 1840, and is now run by Mr. Krier. The first house was built by Jacob Hiltgen. There are two churches- the Roman Catholic and Lutheran. The principal interest of the place is, that it is the site of St. Mary's Institute, an insti- tution for the higher education of young ladies, conducted by the Sisters of Notre Dame.

A village situated about the centre of Jackson township, sev- enteen miles north-east from Maquoketa, is the site of a Roman Catholic Church (St. Peter's), erected in 1865, at a cost of about $5,000. In 1872 the postoffice was changed from old Spring Brook and located here, with C. Kegler as postmaster, who is also at present incumbent of the office.
