Smith, three hundred acres of choice land in Benton township and property in H.nssell, where he is also a director and vice president of the l{usscll Stat•· Bank.· .Moreover, l\fr. Smith is gifted "·ith an inventive mind, being th<' first man to receive a patent on a road drag, and he now owns a factory in Russell for the manufacture of these implements. Prosperity, even wealth. has come to 1\Ir. Smith e11tirl'ly through his own efforis, for he started in :1

While )[r. Smith has made large personal gaiiJS, hc has lJeeo a ~~onstructivt~ f;\dor in the development of agriculture aiH1 industries in Lucas county, autl Li,.; attainments are largely to be eonsidcrcfl pnlJlie assets.

1•11 tcrprises or private enterprises which contribute to the resourct'S of the

f;ection. Clinton D. Smith was born in :\Juskingum county, Ohio, August ;,, J8G7,

a son of Jacob and Emmeline (Vogel) Smith, the father born in liiuskingum ('ounty in March, ]827, and the mother a natiYe of Germany.

spent on the home farm and his edu.cation being ac1uired in the rural schools of h1s day. He became a pioneer settler of Union County, where he was first engaged in general farming, but later centered all of his activities in the grain and live stock business, in which he was successfully occupied for a long period of years, but at present is living in comfortable retirement at Creston, Iowa. He still has large interests and is accounted one of the substantial men and good citizens of his community. He is a Republican in politics and an active member of the Congregational Church. In Iowa Mr. Gault was united in marriage with Miss Madge Long, who was born in Pennsylvania, a daughter of Rev. David Long, also a native of the Keystone State, and for many years a minister of the United Brethren Church. Mrs. Gault died February 11, 1902, in the faith of the Congregational Church, having been the mother of four children: Roy B., of this review; George B., a livestock buyer and shipper at Creston; Earl, who is engaged in the stock business at Des Moines; and Grace, the wife of Earl Trenholm, cashier of the Gas and Electric Company, of Lincoln, Nebraska.

The public schools of Creston furnished Roy B. Gault with his educational training, and his first

()ment was with his father in the grain

· vestock business, which he followed until t ~ - nited States entered the World war. He had become a member of the Iowa National Guard at the age of eighteen years, and in 1917 went with his command to Camp Mills. In November of that year he went overseas with the One Hundred and Sixty-eighth Infantry, Fortysecond Division, A. E. F., and remained with that outfit until March, 1918, when he was transfer~ed to the Division Headquarters, and served u~ti! the close of the war, with the rank of captam. On his return to the United States he rejoined ~he One Hundred Sixty-eighth Infantry, but agam was transferred to Division Headquarters, and still is a member of the Iowa National Guard.

Upon· resuming the duties of civilian life Mr. Ga';llt again engag·ed in business with his father, W~JCh he followed until 1924, when he was appon_Jted United States ,marshal, following the duties of this office for one term. He then took charge of the motor vehicle department of the State of Iowa, and since March 1, 1928, has centered his entire abilities and activities in discharging its responsibilities. He has established hn ex.cellent record for steadfast and intelligent

andhng of the duties of his department, and has the confidence of the public and the respect and esteem of his associates. Mr. Gault is a rember of the Congregational Church, and as a rat.ernalist is a Knight Templar Mason and a

Shnner, and is al~o a past exalted ruler of the ~enevolent and Protective Order of .Elks. He 18 a pas~ commander of Champaign Post, American Legwn, at Creston, occupying this office for one and one-half years, and under his adminis-

0

tration the general condition of the post was greatly improved, and its financial affairs placed upon a firm and substantial basis. He also served as president of the Creston Chamber of Commerce, and took an active part on the civic welfare of the community.

On June 22, 1922, Mr. Gault was united in marriage with Miss Maude Heflen, who was born on a farm in Union County, Iowa, a daughter of Frank Heflen, a railroad engineer in the service of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad. Mr. and Mrs. Gault have no children.

'~lR~jlij[~'~''~'Mt\11~; of Russell, Lucas County, was brought to Iowa when five years old, and has lived in Lucas County since 1865. His active life has brought him an unusual range of interests and activities. He has always been identified with lands as an owner and practice! farmer, is a banker at Russell, is a former member of the Legislature and has filled many posts of honor and trust in his community. ·

Mr. Smith was born in Muskingum County, Ohio, August 5, 1857, son of Jacob and Emeline (Vogle) Smith. His father was also a native of Ohio, was a blacksmith and wagon maker, and after coming to Iowa settled on a farm and became one of the influential citizens in his locality. Clinton D. Smith has a brother, Eugene, who also lives at Russell, and a sister, Mrs. Dessie Plotts, of Des Moines.

It was in September, 1862, while the Civil war was in progress, that the family started from their home in Southern Ohio and with covered wagon and oxen crossed the country to Wapello County, Iowa. The youngest of the six children was six weeks old. It was a time of pioneer transportation facilities, and many times the family had to cross swollen streams on the backs of the mules. From Wapello County the family in 1865 moved to Lucas County. Here Clinton D. Smith made that preparation for life which is obtained from schools and books. He attended a country school a few weeks in the year, studying the old time textbooks, associating with boys and girls from other farms in the neighborhood, and with frequently a teacher whose qualifications of learning were only a little better than those of the older scholars themselves. When he was nine years of age he was given a practical responsibility in the routine of work on the farm when he and an older sister rode the range herding their father's cattle.

The day he was twenty-one Mr. Smith started out for himself, to quote his own words, "barefooted, without a penny, pocket knife or bandanna handkerchief." He hired out to work for a neighboring farmer for fifteen dollars a month. It was a humble beginning, in which his unbounded energy, courage and determination were his chief assets. In a few years he had put himself in the ranks of independent farmers, and steadily through the years has kept in touch with farming and stock raising in Lucas County,


56 'THE PEOPLE OF lOW A

and in his business and public career he has been a representative of the agricultural attitude of his section of the state.

Mr. Smith for twenty-two years has been associated in the banking business, being vice president of the Russell State Bank. For ten years he was director of the Iowa Packing Company of Des Moines. In 1924 he was appointed by Judge Wade as special master of chancery at the sale of the company's plant to Swift and Company. Mr. Smith for eleven years was a stockholder in the Iowa National Fire Insurance Company.

During the past thirty-eight years he has acted as reporter of crops and other agricultural statistics from his section to the Iowa Department of Agriculture at Des Moines. Mr. Smith has contributed his bit to road making, having received a patent for the first adjustable road drag in the United States-an implement that has been put to successful use. Politically he has been a staunch supporter Of the Democratic party, and he served in the Fortieth General Assembly, attending the extra session when the state code was revised. He has for thirty-eight years been treasurer of his home school board. He and his family are active in the Methodist Episcopal Church at Russell.

Among other interesting memories of his boyhood Mr. Smith recalls the time when his locality was thrown into a furore of excitement by the activities of the famous Jesse James gang from Missouri. His contact with frantier men and conditions was greatly enlarged when in the spring of 1889 he and four other young men started with mules and covered wagons to participate in. the opening of the original Oklahoma lands to settlement. They pitched their tents on the bank of the Canadian River on ground now covered by Oklahoma City, but which was then a city of tents, the only building being the station of the Santa Fe Railway. While there Mr. Smith turned the crank in the printing of the first newspaper published in what is now the State of Oklahoma's capital city, and he stoll has in his possession a copy of the first issue that came from the press. A little later he came in still closer touch with an official event which had an important bearing on the further opening of the old Indian Territory to settlement. The commissioner of Indian affairs had come on from Washington to make a treaty with the Cherokees and the Fox and Sac Indians for the sale of their land, known as the Cherokee Outlet. Mr. Smith was called to bring some water to the Indians in the council chamber, it being a very hot day. In that way he was the fifth white man in the building when the treaty was made, the other four being the commissioner from Washington, Ron. Jim Weaver, of Iowa, who was acting as United States marshal, Captain Couch, the famous leader of the Oklahoma "Boomers," and the postmaster of Oklahoma City.

Mr. Smith married in 1896, at Allerton, Iowa, Miss Betty M. Wilson, daughter of Greenwood

and Mary J. Wilson, who came to Iowa from Indiana. Her father was a soldier in the Civil war and was wounded in the battle of Shiloh, a wound that eventually caused his death. Mrs. Smith is a graduate of the Des Moines 4 C's Business College and attended the Kansas City School of Music. For many years she acted as organist of her church, and has used her know!. edge of harmony and her artistic inspiration in composing. A number of her compositions have been published. Mr. and Mrs. Smith have traveled extensively and have enjoyed life as they have gone along. They have four children. Their son Vogel, now in partnership with his father was registered at the time of the World war' but was not called to the colors. The daughte; Colette is the wife of Richard Werts, of Lucas County, and has two children, Donald and Wayne E. Dorothy is the wife of Earl Clayton of Chariton, Iowa, and has a son, Bennie. Th~ other son, Ted, is also a partner with his father in business.

WILLIAM F. POORMAN is one of the well known insurance actuaries in the Middle West, and his abilities have attracted him to the capital of the Iowa insurance world at Des Moines, where he is actuary for the Central Life Assurance Society.

Mr. Poorman was born near Livingston, Mon. tana, January 17, 1897, son of Jacob L. and Nona (Cole) Poorman. His father was born in Wis. consin and his mother in Missouri, and his father went out to Montana in the early days and be· came a rancher and cattle man. He died in 1902 and his wife in 1908. He was a Republican in politics, a member of the Independent Order oJ Odd Fellows, and his wife was a Methodist, whilE he belonged to the Christian denomination. 01 their three children two are living, William F and Mildred, the latter the wife of Walter A Fouts, a Montana cattle man.
