When the war was over and the country no longer needed his aid, he returned to Wisconsin and became one of the owners of the office in which he had learned the printer's trade, continuing the publication of the paper for about two years. He then sold out and in 1869 arrived in Buena Vista county, Iowa, for he believed that the opportunities of the new but rapidly growing west were superior to those of the older states east of the Mississippi. Mueh of the land here was still in possession of the government and Mr. Hoskins secured a claim on section 2, township 93, range 35, where he made his home for two years. He was then called to public office, being chosen county recorder in the fall of 1870, at which time he disposed of his farm and took up his abode at Sioux Rapids, which was then the county seat. Ile proved a competent official during the two years of his incumbency and after his retirement he turned his attention to the drug business, continuing in that line until 1881. In his mereantile ventures he met with well merited snecess, his business constantly increasing owing to his progressive spirit, his modern business methods, his reasonable priees and his earnest efforts to please his patrons. At length, however, he disposed of his store in order to establish the Hoskins & Toy Bank, the first banking institution of the town. He remained an active faetor in its management until 1883, when he sold out. While still engaged in the drug business he also became a real-estate and loan agent and has enjoyed a good elientage in that regard.
Mr. Hoskins' efficiency as a public officer has been demonstrated in the fact that he has been called to fill a number of positions of trust and responsi- bility. In July, 1876, he was appointed postmaster and filled the position until 1886, when he was removed for "offensive partisanship." In May, 1889, however, he was reappointed without opposition and continued to fill the position until 1895. His administration had been thoroughly businesslike and his prominence and efficiency are matters of common knowledge. He also served as a member of the board of county supervisors for more than a decade and in office has ever placed the publie welfare before partisanship. Following the incorporation of Sioux Rapids in 1882, he was elected its first mayor and with the exception of one term continued to fill the office for about ten years. At some elections he had no opposing candidate, for his fellow townsmen recognize that he has been most loyal to the public welfare in the discharge of his duties and brought to his work the same spirit of determination and enter- prise which has characterized his control of his private business interests. He is a stalwart republican with firm faith in the principles of his party and is a publie-spirited man whose labors have been far-reaching and effective in pro- moting the general welfare. That his fellow citizens recognize his work is evidenced in the fact that he has been elected to nearly every office for which
652
HISTORY OF BUENA VISTA COUNTY
he has been nominated. He has served on the school board and the cause of education has found in him an enthusiastic champion, the large school building and fine school grounds of Sioux Rapids indicating his energy and zeal in behalf of publie construction. He also had charge of and constructed the Methodist Episcopal church at this place.
Mr. Hoskins is now giving his attention to the real-estate business and has not only negotiated many important property transfers for others but has also made judicious investments for himself and has realized handsome profits on the sale of his property. What he undertakes he accomplishes and his spirit of determination and careful management has been the ladder on which he has climbed to success. On the 30th of October, 1866. in Richland Center, Wisconsin, Mr. Hoskins was married to Miss Mary E. Wilson, whose parents were Alexander L. and Julia A. C. (Myers) Wilson. Mrs. Hoskins was born in Mansfield, Ohio. March 4. 1846, and unto this marriage have been born the following sons and daughters: Frank W. J., who wedded Miss Etta 1. Stevens and resides at Beresford, South Dakota ; Florence May. wife of W. L. Sumner. of Hawarden, Iowa ; Charles A .. who married Miss Hoffman and is living in St. Paul, Minnesota : Lulu E., at home; Oramel A., of Kingsley, Iowa; Mary E. D. ; Birdie; Ernest E., who died in 1908; and Chester A. The family is prominent socially and the hospitality of the Hoskins' home is one of its most attractive features. Mr. Hoskins belongs to the Masonie fraternity. the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Grand Army Post and through his association in the latter keeps in touch with his old army comrades. Progress and patriotism might well be termed the keynote of his life for those qualities have characterized his entire career. While he has capably conducted his private business interests he has never been remiss in the duties of citizenship and his devotion to the public welfare is above question.
ELWOOD PRICE LAYMAN.
Elwood Priee Layman is a self-made man, who through his own careful management and well directed labors has accumulated a valuable farming property, comprising three hundred and eighty-five acres in Newell township, near the city of Newell. He was born in Grantsville, Maryland, November 2, 1856, a son of George Louis Layman, who was likewise born in Maryland, of German parentage. The father acquired his education in the district schools of his native state and his first business venture was as a real-estate dealer. HIe later became proprietor of a hotel and met with snecess. A democrat in his political affiliations he was called to fill important publie office, at one time serving as sheriff of Allegany county, Maryland. While serving in that office, a murderer was sentenced to be hanged and Mr. Layman was forced to perform this unpleasant duty. In connection with other business interests he was an anetioneer and cried all the sales in his home locality, becoming well known in that connection. The father was twice married. He first wedded a Miss MeKinzie, by whom he had one son, Thomas, who is a farmer and
653
HISTORY OF BUENA VISTA COUNTY
auctioneer, residing in Maryland. For his second wife Mr. Layman chose Miss Louisa Rench, who was born in Hagerstown, Maryland, of Irish parent- age. Both parents are now deceased, the father passing away in 1892, while the mother was called to her final rest five years later. The father is buried in Maryland, while the mother was buried in Newell, Iowa. Of the father's second marriage there were twelve children, the brothers and sisters of our subjeet being : John C. and Lula E., both of whom are now deceased; Etta V., the wife of Ralph Engle, a farmer of Maryland ; Norval M., who is engaged in the livery business in Newell, Towa; George B., who is engaged in the real- estate and insurance business in Newell; Anna, the wife of Frank Point, a resident of this city; Owen A .. Helen and Lloyd Lownes, all of whom have departed this life; Lanra E., the wife of Dr. Carl Stocker a practicing dentist of Armstrong, lowa; and Harry C., who is employed as bookkeeper in a rail- road office in Chicago.
Elwood Priee Layman. the subject of this review, pursued his early studies in the distriet schools of Maryland and while yet a youth came alone to the middle west, loeating in Illinois. Ile worked during the summer months and with his earnings met the expenses of his schooling in the winter seasons, although he was obliged to contraet some indebtedness. He had, however, managed to buy a wagon, one horse and a harness. One day he learned of an Iowa emigrant who wished to dispose of eighty acres of land in Buena Vista county near Newell, and that the same could be bought for a team, buggy and harness and one hundred dollars in cash. Believing this an excellent opportunity to become the owner of a farm, Mr. Layman borrowed this amount of money and with the money which he himself possessed he purchased a horse and thus the deal was consummated. On the 19th of March, 1879, being then a young man of twenty-two years, Mr. Layman started to his land in Buena Vista county and it proved to be an excellent location, his farm being located just north of Newell. which at that time, however, eon- tained but three hundred inhabitants. When he started on his journey he had but twenty-five dollars in money and when he reached Newell he had but ten dollars. This he paid for feed for his horses. He then planted a piece of ground to potatoes and in due time had raised a good erop of this produet, but for three months he was without funds, not having enough money to buy even postage to mail a letter to his mother. One day, learning that a cirens was to be held in Storm Lake. he took a sack of potatoes to that city and disposed of them for fifty cents. This was the price of admission to the eireus and would leave Mr. Layman nothing with which to buy his dinner. On the street he encountered a man who was selling jewelry and was giving fifty cents additional on each purchase made. Mr. Layman saw where he might speeu- late and in this manner he accumulated five dollars. This proved the starting point of his future suecess. At the close of the summer he had three hundred dollars in money and this be invested in horses, which he took to Illinois and sold, making a profit of two hundred dollars. As time passed and he pros- pered in his farming operations he invested in more land from time to time until his place now embraces three hundred and eighty-five acres. this being considered one of the valuable farm properties of this section of the county.
654
HISTORY OF BUENA VISTA COUNTY
In addition to carrying on general agricultural pursuits he is also a stock breeder and is an auctioneer. crying a large amount of sales throughout the county.
On the 1st of January, 1880, Mr. Layman was united in marriage to Miss Mary Esther Linskill, who was born in Pennsylvania and comes of English parentage. This union has been blessed with five children, four sons and one daughter, namely: Harry Thornton, who follows farming near Newell; Laura Lee, who died in infancy ; John Clarence, who resides in Newell; Ralph Engle, at home; and Denton Norval, who is a college student at Sioux City. Iowa. Mr. Layman is a democrat in principle and practice and has held a number of township offices. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, while his fraternal relations are with the Knights of Pythias, the Modern Woodmen of America and the Court of Honor. Mr. Layman is largely a self educated as well as self-made man, who through the inherent force of his nature and the utilization of opportunities has gained a prominent place among the substantial citizens of Buena Vista county. Much of his success is due, too, to the assistance of his estimable wife, who has proved to him a faithful companion, ever ready to offer aid and encouragement in the early days of their married life when they were struggling to make for themselves a home. They are both highly esteemed in the community where they have so long resided and the hospitality of their pleasant home is freely extended to their numerons friends.
THOMAS ERICKSON.
Thomas Erickson, a well known and valued representative of the Nor- wegian element in the citizenship of northwestern Iowa, was born in Skjold, Norway, February 6. 1839. He came to Fowa in 1858 and has always followed the occupation of farming. His education was very limited, as he had little opportunity to attend school in his native country. He was a young man of nineteen years when he bade adien to friends and family and sailed for the United Sates, becoming a resident of Mahaska county. Iowa. He located there at an early period in the development of that part of the state, when the west was largely an unbroken wilderness. At that time it was necessary to travel forty miles to Ottumwa for groceries or supplies of any kind. He passed through all the experiences of pioneer life in that new and undeveloped country. Landing in the new world without any means, he worked at farm labor for a time, assisted in clearing the forests and in cultivating new fields and finally, as the result of his own industry and savings, he became a land- owner and began farming on his own account. His life has been character- ized by unfaltering industry and by reason of his perseverance. diligence and capable management of his business affairs he has accumulated a comfortable competence.
It was in 1865, in New Sharon, Iowa, that Mr. Erickson was united in marriage to Miss Abbie Johnson, who was born in Ohio, February 13, 1838,
655
HISTORY OF BUENA VISTA COUNTY
and came to Towa in 1861. They established their home a half mile east of the town and are still living on the farm on which they started out in life together. Mr. Erickson now owns eighty acres of valuable farming land near New Sharon, whereon he is now passing his declining years and enjoying in a comfortable home the benefits that resulted from his former hardship and toil.
Unto Mr. and Mrs. Erickson have been born the following named sons and daughters : Linda J., born February 15, 1866 ; Silas, December 9, 1867 ; Rebeeea. August 25, 1869; Enoch. April 26, 1872; Elsie M., December 24, 1873; Thomas, who was born February 16, 1877, and died on the 3d of June of the same year; Mary, born October 9, 1878; Daniel T., born October 10, 1880; and Joseph P., who was born May 5, 1883, and died February 8, 1884.
Thomas Erickson was reared in the faith of the Lutheran church but after coming to Towa he joined the Friends church, of which his wife was a member. Her parents, Jonathan and Joanna Johnson, were members and therefore she became a birthright Friend. Both Mr. and Mrs. Erickson have lived earnest Christian lives which have won for them the respect and good will of all who know them. They have now long traveled life's journey together, their married life covering forty-four years and they have reared a family who are a credit to their name and in every relation of life they have been found loyal to honorable principles.
G. LAURIDSEN.
G. Lauridsen, one of the prominent and progressive farmers and stoekmen of Buena Vista county, owns a valuable and well improved farm of two hundred and sixty acres on section 8, Elk township. He was born in Denmark on the 22d of August, 1853. and when eighteen years of age emigrated to the United States, desiring to benefit by the broader business opportunities whiel the new world afforded. He first took up his abode in Utica. New York, and in the spring of 1873 journeyed westward to Chicago, where he worked at anything that would yield him an honest living. In the fall of 1873 he went to Caseo, Wisconsin, and was there employed as clerk in a store for a year and a half. While residing in the western metropolis he had purchased a traet of eighty aeres of land in Buena Vista county, Iowa, and in 1875 located in Alta. where he was engaged as clerk in a general store until 1883. In that year he opened a general store on his own account, successfully conducting the enter- prise for five years, on the expiration of which period he sold out and took up his abode on the farm where he now resides. Here he has since engaged in general farming and in the raising and feeding of stock, his untiring industry and unremitting energy bringing to him a gratifying measure of snecess in his undertakings. The many substantial improvements on his property, all of which stands as monuments to his thrift and enterprise, inelude a com- modions residence, two barns and all necessary outbuildings for the, shelter of grain and stock. He has likewise fenced the fields and a well kept grove and
656
HISTORY OF BUENA VISTA COUNTY
orchard add to the general attractiveness of the plaee. His landed holdings in- elude an eighty-aere tract in South Dakota, and he is widely recognized as a man of excellent business ability and unfaltering integrity, whose success is attributable entirely to his own well directed Jabors, for he started out in life empty handed and unaided.
In 1880 Mr. Lauridsen was united in marriage to Miss Christina Larsen, who was a native of Denmark but was reared in Buena Vista county. She passed away in 1897, leaving three children to mourn her loss, namely : Walter L., an agriculturist of Elk township, who is married and has one daughter, Opal; Dora ; and Lla. The four other children of the family are deceased, three dying of diphtheria within a period of three weeks. Their names were Louis, Stanley and Edward and they died at the ages of nine, seven and three years respectively. While on a visit to his native land Mr. Lauridsen was there again married, his second union being with Miss Anna Matsen, who was born in Denmark.
In his political views Mr. Lauridsen is a stalwart republiean and has capably served as justice of the peace for two terms, but has never sought nor desired publie office. Fraternally he is connected with the Ancient Order of United Workmen, while his religious faith is indieated by his membership in the Lutheran church, with which his wife and children are also identified. Coming to the United States as a young man, he here found the opportunities which he sought and in their utilization has gained the measure of prosperity that entitles him to mention among the representative citizens of this eounty, where he has now made his home for a third of a century.
WILLIAM BROOKE.
William Brooke was born in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, October 5. 1833, a son of William and Elizabeth (Geiger) Brooke, both natives of Pennsyl- vania, where they spent their entire lives, the father passing away when about seventy-two years of age, while the mother lived to be nearly ninety-two years old. The latter was of German descent, while her husband, William Brooke, was of English origin, and the only two representatives of the Brooke family who came to America settled in the Keystone state.
When about nineteen years of age William Brooke of this review started out in life for himself and, being convinced that the new and growing west held opportunities that were not to be found in the older and more thickly settled east, he came to Ohio, where he was employed for a time as a farm hand and later worked on the railroad. At the end of three years he removed to Cedar Falls, Iowa, in 1855, there remaining for two years, while in 1857 he came to Buena Vista county, this state, securing some traets of land about three miles south and west of Linn Grove, lowa. Here he has resided to the present time, with the exception of a few months spent at Peterson. Iowa. As the years have
657
HISTORY OF BUENA VISTA COUNTY
passed and his financial resources have increased he has added to his holdings until he is now the owner of nine hundred and twenty-six acres of rich and productive land, being widely recognized as one of the most prosperous, influen- tial and enterprising citizens of the county.
William Brooke is now the oldest living resident in the county. He has passed through all the experiences of pioneer life, has witnessed the growth and development of this part of Iowa and in the early days was of great assistance to those who were less fortunate or were more easily discouraged, being ever ready to extend a helping hand to those who were struggling with the privations and hardships of a new country. He has met with his own misfortunes but with undaunted courage he braved the trials of that lonely time. After ar- riving in this county he and his brother erected a comfortable home, in which nearly all of their money was invested, but in the same year the place took fire one night and was burned to the ground, both the building and its contents being entirely destroyed. This left them destitute, without even a leifer match, and the nearest place where they could secure supplies of any kind was Fort Dodge, a distance of about seventy miles. With no neighbors, no money and all their former possessions in ashes, it ean readily be imagined that the prospect was a most discouraging one for the brothers and indeed, looking back to that time now, Mr. Brooke himself can scarcely realize that they were able to overcome the seemingly insurmountable obstacles that beset them on every hand. After a few years' residence in this county the brother of William Brooke beeame ill and returned to Pennsylvania, where he lived but a short time before passing to the home beyond. Among the settlers who came here about the same time as did our subject were Enther Barnes, Joe Wheeler and William Crozier but William Brooke is now the only survivor. Since age conferred upon him the right of franchise he has given his political allegiance to the democratic party and has always cooperated in those measures and movements instituted for the general welfare. He has now passed the seventy-fifth milestone on life's journey and there is no more respected or worthy citizen in Buena Vista county than William Brooke.
JOSEPHI ROBERTS.
Joseph Roberts, one of the most enterprising, wide-awake and thoroughly up-to-date business men of Buena Vista county, has for the past seventeen years been successfully engaged in the drug trade at Linn Grove, Iowa. His birtlı occurred at Mineral Point, Wisconsin, in 1873, his parents being Grif and Maggie (Morris) Roberts, natives of Wales. Ilere they spent the remainder of their lives, both passing away in the year 1875.
Joseph Roberts obtained his education in the public schools of Sioux Rapids and, being left an orphan when but three years of age, was early thrown upon his own resources. At the age of fifteen he secured employment as a farm hand,
658
HISTORY OF BUENA VISTA COUNTY
being thus busily engaged for a few years, while in his twentieth year he was made assistant in the postoffice at Linn Grove. In 1892 he here established himself in business as a druggist and has since conducted a well appointed store, his extensive stock and reliable dealings insuring him a liberal and ever increasing patronage.
In 1893 Mr. Roberts was united in marriage to Miss Maggie Powell, a daughter of T. and Anna (Edwards) Powell, natives of Wisconsin. They have no children of their own but are rearing an adopted son, Charles.
Politically Mr. Roberts is a stalwart republican and his helpful interest in the cause of education is indicated by his efficient service as a school director. Fraternally he is connected with the Elks Lodge. No. 302, of Webster City, Towa; the Masonic Blue Lodge at Sioux Rapids; Crusade Commandery, No. 39. K. T., Cherokee; Sioux Rapids Chapter. No. 129. R. A. M .; and Za Ga Zig Temple, at Des Moines. Iowa. He also belongs to Camp No. 4854, Modern Woodmen of America, at Linn Grove. Being deprived of parental guidance and assistance at an early age, he knew that to win success he must work dili- gently and perseveringly and because of the qualities he has thus manifested he has gained a place among the most prosperous as well as highly esteemed citizens of the community.
MARSHALL A. LEE.
Marshall A. Lee, an extensive farmer and stock-raiser of Buena Vista county, was born in Columbia county, Wisconsin, August 25, 1857, his parents being William S. and Maria (Moore) Lee, both of whom were natives of Steuben county, New York. In 1856 they removed westward, settling in Columbia county, Wisconsin, where they remained for about two years and then came to Buena Vista county, łowa. William S. Lce first secured a squatter's claim on section 18, Lee township, and set himself to the task of establishing a home on the windswept prairie. The family passed through all of the experiences and hardships of pioneer life, meeting and overcoming obstacles which are scarcely dreamed of at the present day. The nearest market was Fort Dodge and there was only one house on the road across the prairies. William S. Lee was a prominent factor in the early development and upbuilding of the county and as his financial resources increased he added to his holdings until he became a large landowner. With the exception of three years, from 1866 until 1869, when he lived in the state of New York, he was a permanent resident of Buena Vista county from 1858 until he passed away on the 16th of February, 1908, at the age of eighty-one years. His wife had been called to her final rest in February. 1895. Unto this worthy couple were born the following children: Sarah M., the wife of Dr. Stephen Olney; William B., who wedded Miss Ellen Richards and resides on a farm in South Dakota ; Phillip T .. who is also married and makes his home at Braddock, North Dakota; Oliver M., who married Miss Libbie Thompson and lives near Sioux Rapids; Marshall A., of this review; and O. S., who wedded Edith Stanton and resides at Ruthven, Iowa.
659
HISTORY OF BUENA VISTA COUNTY
Marshall A. Lee, in association with Dr. Olney. owns three hundred and twenty acres of fine farming land near Sioux Rapids, Iowa, and is extensively and successfully engaged in the tilling of the soil and also in stock-raising, both branches of his business returning to him a gratifying annual income. His fraternal relations are with the Masons and in politics he is a stalwart republi- can. During the half century of his residence here Mr. Lee has become widely known and no higher testimonial of his personal worth and character could be given than the fact that many of his stanchest friends are those with whom he has been acquainted from his boyhood days.
