Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1912 edition. Excerpt: ... Politically, Mr. Hummel is a Democrat and in fraternal matters a member of the Knights of Pythias. On March 20, 1880, Mr. Hummel was united in marriage with Eliza A. Newell, who was born in Wapello county, Iowa, the daughter of William Newell, who settled in Jasper county in an early day and here became well established and highly respected. Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Hummel, namely: Mrs. Carrie Bower, of Denver, Colorado: Mrs. Zola Baker and Mrs. Zetta Livingston, twins; Virgil is at home. AUGUST GALEN MILLER. We are glad to note in this series of biographical articles that so many of the progressive citizens of Jasper county have been born and reared here, for this is an indication of at least two things, namely, that they are men of keen discernment, being able to see and appreciate present conditions as they are, and that the county is indeed one of the favored sections of the great Hawkeye state, else these people would have sought opportunities elsewhere. As it is they did not need to heed the call of the wanderlust that is heard at some stage or other in the lives of all young men. It very frequently leads them to forsake the "land of milk and honey" and go in search of a never-tobe-attained oasis of a mirage, ultimately finding instead the barren, sandswept waste of a Sahara, often, too, after it is too late to return and establish themselves in their own native heath. The subject of this sketch is one of a large number of Jasper county boys who have had the good judgment to remain right at home and devote their energies to the things with which they are most familiar, hence they have had a better chance of ultimately attaining the ever-sought-for guerdon--success. August Galen Miller, farmer of Mariposa...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Past and Present of Jasper County, Iowa, Vol. 1 All life and achievement is evolution; present wisdom comes from past experience, and present commercial prosperity has come only from past exertion and suffering. The deeds and motives of the men that have gone before have been instrumental in shaping the destinies of later communities and states. The development of a new country was at once a task and a privilege. It required great courage, sacrifice and privation. Compare the present conditions of the people of Jasper county, Iowa, with what they were one hundred years ago. From a trackless wilderness and virgin land, it has come to be a center of prosperity and civilization, with millions of wealth, systems of railways, grand educational institutions, splendid industries and immense agricultural and mineral productions. Can any thinking person be insensible to the fascination of the study which discloses the aspirations and efforts of the early pioneers who so strongly laid the foundation upon which has been reared the magnificent prosperity of later days? To perpetuate the story of these people and to trace and record the social, political and industrial progress of the community from its first inception is the function of the local historian. A sincere purpose to preserve facts and personal memoirs that are deserving of perpetuation, and which unite the present to the past, is the motive for the present publication. The work has been in the hands of able writers, who have, after much patient study and research, produced here the most complete biographical memoirs of Jasper county, Iowa, ever offered to the public. A specially valuable and interesting department is that one devoted to the sketches of representative citizens of this county whose records deserve preservation because of their worth, effort and accomplishment. The publishers desire to extend their thanks to the gentlemen who have so faithfully labored to this end. Thanks are also due to the citizens of Jasper county for the uniform kindness with which they have regarded this undertaking and for their many services rendered in the gaining of necessary information. In placing the "Past and Present of Jasper County, Iowa," before the citizens, the publishers can conscientiously claim that they have carried out the plan as outlined in the prospectus. Every biographical sketch in the work has been submitted to the party interested, for correction, and therefore any error of fact, if there be any, is solely due to the person for whom the sketch was prepared.
