Children

General Notes: Husband - Henry W. Null


He resided at home until he attained the age of nineteen years, in the meantime obtaining a common school education. When seventeen years old he began teaching in the district school and continued the same for two years. He then came to West Newton and secured a position in the dry goods store of N. B. Sproat, and was subsequently employed for many years in the department store of S. C. Weimer. In 1895 he embarked in the shoe business in the Elliott building on the corner of Main and Second streets, West Newton. This enterprise proved a financial success, and the steady growth of the business necessitated his removal to more commodious quarters, and accordingly in the fall of 1901 he erected a building of his own, to which he removed. In addition to the duties devolving upon him in the management of his retail establishment he served as a director of the Farmers’ and Merchants’ Bank. He was a member of the school board of West Newton, and he also filled several other minor township offices. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church, and an advocate and strong supporter of Republican principles.
