from the first been identified with the Mo- line National Bank; as President Victor Scale Company; and built the Post Office Block, in 1872, at a cost of $20,000, which he recently donated to the Moline Public Library. During the War, as Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, he had charge of the distribution of the funds raised for the relief of soldier's families. At the last municipal election, April, 1877, he was unanimously nominated for Mayor, and elected without opposition-a deserved compliment to one so long and so intimate- ly identified with the best interests of Mo- line.
