They are also rearing an adopted child, Mae. Since age conferred upon him the right of franchise Mr. Walker has given his political allegiance to the democracy, ·while his religious faith is indicated by his memilership in the Methodist Episcopal church. A man of genial nature and cordial disposition, he has gained the friendship and esteem of those with whom he has been associated and is well known as a prosperous and enterprising agriculturist of his commtmity. 1 HON. DE WITT C. MILLER. A life of varied activity and large usefulness is that of the Hon. Ue Witt C. 1\Iiller, now president of the l\Iiller & Chaney Bank of Newell. He has con ducted extensive and important interests in Buena Vista county, not only in financial lines but also as a stock-raiser and has aided in shaping and molding public opinion concerning political questions. An earnest worker in the ranks of the republican party, he has heen honored hy its followers with election as representative to the general assembly. He was born in Livingston county, New York, November 27, 1828, and has therefore passed the eightieth milestone on life's journey. WhHe he has now largely put aside the onerous cares of a business career, he yet manifests a keen interest in the atfairs of life and in spirit seems yet in his prime. His parents were Allen and Hannah (Tripp) Miller, natives of Massachusetts and Poughkeepsie, New York, respectively. The progenitor of the Miller family in this country was William Miller, who was of Scotch birth and established his home in Norwich, Connecti cut, becoming one of the founders of the town. The paternal grandfather, Jonathan Miller, 'vas a native of M~ssachusetts and a minister of the Methodist Protestant church. He also followed the occupation of farming and when the country became involved in the second war with Engl'!md he served as a soldier in the American army. He married a 1\Iiss Chase and both died when well advanced in years, rearing a large family. The maternal grandfather, Charles Tripp, was a native of Dutchess county, New York, and made farming his life work. He had a family of eleven children, Mrs. Hannah Miller being the youngest. In the place of his nativity Allen Miller was largely reared and throughout his business life he carried on farming and stock-raising. He reared his family principally in Livingston county, New York, but in the spring of 1848 removed westward to Rockford, Illinois, where he continued to till the soil and raise stock. There his remaining dayR were passed, his death occurring when he had reached the advanced age of seventy-nine years and six months. He was a public-spirited man in his community and his fellow townsmen recog nizing his worth and ability, called him to various official positions. His wife died in 1877, when more than eighty-nine years of age. Both were Methodists in religious faith and enjoyed in the fullest extent the confidence and esteem of those with whom they came in contact. · Their family consisted of the l Source: Iowa Territorial and State Legislators Collection compiled by volunteers and staff at the State Historical Society of Iowa Library, Des Moines, Iowa. HISTORY OF BUENA VISTA COUNTY 607 following children: Ezra L., deceB.Sed; Melvina, who has also passed away; Benjamin, who died at the age of fourteen years; Ruth, Jonathan and Sarah, who have all departed this life; George. a resident of Newell; Amelia, the wife of John McFarland, of Newell township; and De Witt C., of this review. De Witt C. Miller was reared in Livingston county, New York, upon tht old home farm and through the summer months was busily engaged with the work of the fields, while in the winter seasons he attended the district schools. 011 attaining his majority he began farming and stock-raising in connection with his father and remained with his parents until they departed this life. Following his father's death he continued the business alone and met with gratifying success in his labors as an agriculturist. He was twenty years of age at the time of the removal of the family to Rockford, Illinois, and there hL made his horne untill879, when he purcha:sed land in Buena Vista county, Iowa, and the following year removed his family to this state. Here he invested h .. "Dine· hundred and sixty acres in Fairfield township, forty acres south of Storn. Lake and four hundred and forty acres in Newell township. He improveu nearly all of the land and in connection with his extensive farming operations he was largely engaged in stock-raising. devoting much of his attention to cattle. However, he brought eleven hundred head of sheep into the county at the time of his removal and for many years was regarded as one of the foremost representatives of agricultural and stock-raising interests in north western Iowa. His landed possessions are still extensive and his farms are good income bearing property. In 1892 he removed to Newell, where he has since made his home. In 1888 he purchased an interest in the bank of L. H. Gordon, whose holdings he later bought and then admitted George Chaney to a partnership, while eventually another son-in-law, Frank Redfield, became connected with the firm, the former being now cashier and the latter assistant cashier. The business of the bank is capably conducted along safe, substantial lines and the institution is regarded as one of the strongest financial concerns of the county. Mr. l\Iiller still retains the presidency although he leaves the active management of the bank to his partners. On the 15th of May, 1853, l\fr. Miller was married to Miss Agnes Lawson, a daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Thomas) Lawson, both of whom were natives of Scotland and on coming to America in 1834 settled in Buffalo, New York, where they lived for several years, removing thence to southern Ohio. In 1858 they took up their abode at New Milford, near Rockford, Illinois, where their remaining days were passed. Their family numbered six children, Agnes, John, Eliza, Agatha, Thomas and George. Of this number Mrs. Miller was born in Edinburg, Scotland, June 3, 1831, and was therefore but three years of age when brought to the United States, her useful career terminating when death 's summons came October 10, 1908. She gave her hand in marriage to Mr. Miller in 1853 and they became the parents of six children: Caroline, who is the deceased wife of Charles Ellingwood, by whom she had eight children, Bernice, Annabel, Herbert. ~farvin, Fannie, Grace, De Witt and Agnes; Belle, the wife of James T. Norton, by whom she has seven children. Fannie, De Witt, Ernest, Ruth, Edgar, Caroline and Marion; Jessie, the wif~ of H. J. Eaton, by whmu she has six children, John, Robert, Marjorie, Charles, Source: Iowa Territorial and State Legislators Collection compiled by volunteers and staff at the State Historical Society of Iowa Library, Des Moines, Iowa. 608 HISTORY OF BUENA VISTA COUNTY Ruth and Helen; Nellie, the wife of George Chaney, by whom she .has six children, Agnes, Osborn, Carrolton, Gerald, Jessie and Caroline; Susie, the wife of Porter Baldwin, by whom she has four children, Paul, Allen, Norton and Loyd; and Mary, the wife of Frank Redfield, by whom she has four children, Frances, Eldora, Miller and an infant son. The family is unusually large and it is remarkable that during the fifty-five years of l\fr. 1\Iiller 's wedded life, out of six children and thirty-five grandchildren, his daughter Caroline was the only one claimed by death, until his companion of many happy years recently succumbed to the inevitable. Mr. Miller is a member and. a trustee of the Congregational church, to which his wife also belonged. To the support of the church he has been a generous contributor and in its work has taken an active and helpful part. Politically he is an earnest republican. He cast his first presidential vote for President Pierce and in 1856 supported Fremont, the first republican presidential candidate. Since that time he has never failed to vote for the standard bearer of the party. He has held various township offices, was mayor of Newell for one term and for two terms represented his district in the state legislature, where he was connected with much important committee work and with various constructive measures. That he received the endorse ment of his constituents was indicated in the fact of his reelection. He is a trustee of Buena Vista College and has always been interested in educational work. Whatever tends to promote public progress along the line of sub stantial improvement has received his endorsement and support and Buena Vista regards him as a citizen who has been a worthy conservator of her interests, his labors in various directions constituting factors in her growth and progress. NELSON SUCKOW. Nelson Suckow. who follows farming on the old homestead property in Lee township, Buena Vista county, is a worthy representative of one of the old and prominent pioneer families of this section of the state. He is a native of Decorah, Iowa, born July 7, 1854, a son of Lars J. and Sagried (Boe) Suckow, both of whom were natives of Norway. In 1844 they emigrated with their family to America, the trip across the Atlantic requiring ten weeks. Landing at Quebec, Canada, they journeyed by lake to Muskego, Wisconsin, ·where they spent two years. On the expiration of that period they continued their journey to Winnebago county, Illinois, where they remained six years. With a wagon and team of oxen they then journeyed to Decorah, Iowa, where the father engaged in farming for twelve years and, being a shoemaker by trade, he also did shoemaking in connec6on with his farming operations. In 1864 Buena Vista county was being opened up for settlement and in :May of that year 1\Ir. Suckow, with a colony of people, made the journey from Decorah to this section. He had two yoke of oxen and in all there were twenty-four teams, and they also brought sheep, cattle and goats.
