PRIZER, JOHN W., retired mercltant and banker, Brigh. ton; among the many good citizens -of this county there is none perhaps that is more deserving of notice than the subject of this sketch; he was born October 8, 1825, in Dauphin

·County, Pennsylvania; there he grew to manhood, and recei,•ed only a -common school educR.tion; being of .an energetic disposition and hearing -of the advantages and openings for the young men in the far west, he Jetermined to see the face of its ·broad prairies; in the fall of 1849 he bid adieu to his old home and -carne to Iowa, and located in the town of Bl'ighton; the gold fe,·er having broken out during that season he determined to see the gold fields -of California, and in company with a few of his neighbors, received tl}eir -outfit at the expense of Mt·. Fl'iend, who now lives in Brighton; the tt·ip though frrutgltt with many pet·i.Js .and hardships was successfully carl'ied through, and he at last fonnd himself wandering around digging in the golden State; he remained ther·e till 1854, when he returned to Brighton fully satisfied that there wet·e as gt·eat "'old fields in Iowa as tltcr·e were In Oalifurnia; soon nfter his retnm he embarked in the met·cantile trade with D. \V. Cott'man, in 13t·ighton, and continued it till Janwtry, 1878, when he retired from the til'llt, his son Henry taking his interest; at the organization of the National Uank of .Bt·ighton, in 1872, he was electeJ its cashiet·, which position he held nntil January. 1877, when - he retired to give his euti re attention to his mercantile interest:>; in Jnunury, 1871), he

a~ain became connected with the bank by being elected to its p'residency, which position he now holds; he was elected to the St11te Senate from the Hth Senatorial district in the fall of 1879, for a full term of four years, as a Republican; this is the tit·st public office he ever hel<l in his life and came to )Jim nnsolicited, as he was never an office seeker; he is a man of sterling integrity, and one who w:ll not stoop to the low tl'icks of the professional politician, but will repr·esent his constituency honestly and well; he was married September 6, 1855, to Miss Charlotta Moore, who is a native of Ohio; their family consit>ts of tour children Jiving: Hem·y A., .Josepha E., Eugene and llattie, and two deceased.

also born in that State. They we1·e married in Pennsylvania, ann their two eldest children were born there-Elizabeth, wife of Andrew Bmwn, of Henry County, and James, deceased. The Cochrans probably located in this county in 1856, on a farm ncar Crawfordsville. By trade ile was a carpenter, and for many years worked at tile trade. Later, he purchased a sawmill and some land south of Crawfordsville, and operated the mill for many years. It is now owned by his son, William S. Cochran. Five children were horn after the Cochmns became residents of this county: Amanda E., wife of James Skinner; Anna M., wife of our subject; Laura F., wife of Frank Young, wilo is Superintendent of the county farm in Taylor County, Iowa; WilliamS. and John L. are still single.

Mr. and Mrs. William K. Wooley are the parents of two children, Mary E. and John C., both bright and interesting, who will enjoy superior educational advantages, from the fact of the parents

ving been educators of note, and in whose ad-<~.ncement they will take special pride. Mr.

Wooley has served six years as Assessor of Crawford Township, and is the present incumbent.

=~ON. JOHN W. PRIZER, of Brighton, is a ~ native of Dauphin County, Pa., born Oct. 8,

1825. His father, Henry J. Prizer, was burn in Chester County, Pa., in 1792, and was a

soldier in the War of 1812. He married Miss Rebecca Jackson, born in Dauphin County, Pa., in 1797. They were of Scotch and Irish descent, and were the parents of eight children, six of whom are living: Oliver H., a practicing physician in Brighton; Sarah, the wife of Edward Scott, of Brighton; Mary, the wife of D. W. Cauffman, residing in Colorado Springs, Col.; John W., the subject of this sketch; Rebecca, the wife of Henry Hopple, of Millerstown, Perry Co., Pa.; Jane C., now the wife of Rev. T. C. Wortz, a Methodist Episcopal minister, now stationed at Albion, Neb. Mr. Prizer was a stanch supporter of Gen .• Jackson in his <lay; he was a man of more than ordinary ability,

Hi well posted in the affairs of his time. He died

in 1831. Mrs. Prizer died in 1859; she was a lifelong member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was highly respected for her Christian. vii·tues.

The subject of this sketch was reared in. Perry County,'Pa. When six yea1·s of. age his father died, and at nine he was put out on a farm to earn his own living, consequently, his early education was sadly neglected. In the schools ile obtained but little knowledge, and that which he has attained bas been by subsequent reading and contact with the brainy men of the nation. In 1849, he left his native State with a view of going to California, but this step met with such determined opposition from his mother, that he abandoned the idea and came to Washington County, Iowa, and located in Brighton. Still he could not give up his cherished desire to visit the new Eldorado, so in the spring of 1850, in company with:twelve others he started with teams, and made)he long and tedious journey overland. On arriving in California, he engaged in mining and trading, and there remained four years, enduring all the h(l.rdships of that eal"ly day. In 1854, he returned to Brighton, but in that year there was a rush to Kansas, and in June he went there, but remained only a short time, returning again to Brighton, where he has since continued to reside. On his returu, he at once em barked in the mercantile business in company with D. W. Cauffman, unde1· the firm name of Cauffman & Prizer, in which business he continued until 1872, when, in company with others, he organized the Brighton National Bank, and was elected Cashier of the same, which position~he filled for five years. He then resigned the position, and embarked in the boot and shoe trade, though not severing his connection with the bank altogether, for_he was elected its Vice President.

Mr. Prizer was marl"ied, Sept. 6, 1855, to Miss Charlotte Moore, a daugllter of Anson Moore, of Brighton, and one of the early settlers of thecoU}lty. She was hom in Trumbull County, Ohio, Aug. 8, 1 831. By this union there were fon r children, two sons and two daughters: Henry A., now engaged in the dry-goons business at Brighton; Ellen J., the wife of N. Roseberger, attorney-at-Jaw. Musca-

is one of the stanch Republicans of the State of Iowa, and was interested in the party in this State. He has held several local offices, and in 1879, was elected to the State Senate from the district comprising the counties of Washington and Louisa. While he was a member of the Assembly, the question of the submission of the Prohibition Amendment was asked for by many persons in the State, and Mr. Prizer was among the number of those favorable to granting t.he request, and as a Senator voted for it. When the question w:as submitted to a vote of the people, be favored an adoption of the amendment, believing it to be ~·ight.

Mr. Prizer is now leading a retired life, and in his community, and wherever he is known, he is respected fot· the stability of his character and his true worth as a citizen. No man enjoys the confidence and esteem of his fellow-citizens in a higher degree. Always the n-;._nd of education, he has done much to advance the intet·ests of the public schools. In every good work calculated to build up Brighton or Washington County, he has ever been in the front. When he arrived in the· county, he was in limited circumstances, but through close attention to his business, and that energy and push that have always characterized him, he has been enabled to lay by sufficient to keep him in his old age. He is living with his family in a very pleasant home in the village of Brighton, surrounded by such comforts as may be acquired by the use of wealth rightly spent, coupled with good taste.
