W. ]. SERVER
IS TO RETIRE
Tenders His Resignation as Manager
of Stewart Lumber Company
After Is Years Service.
TO TAKE EFFECT DECEMBER list
o. A. Patterson Also Resigns-It is to
be Hoped Both Gentlemen Will
Remain in Oenison

One surprise follows another in the
changes taking place in business il
Denison the last being in the man
agement of the Stewart Lumber com
pany. For more than twenty-five
years W. J. SERVER has represented
the company here and at severa
other places like Charter Oak, Ute
Dow City and Buck Grove, the bust
ness of the several places being under
the general management of Mr.
| SERVER. SO long, in fact, have Mr.
| SERVERS relations with the Stewart
Lumber company existed, and sc
prominent have they been, that the
community has come to look upon the
two names as inseparable.
| 1t develops that Mr.. Server, a few
days ago, rendered his resignation as
manager OF the company, to take ef
| feet at once, and that after the first
of December he will have nothing
more to do with the active manage
ment of the affairs of the company
although retaining the pecuniary in
terest which he has held in the com
pany. We also understand that Mr.
! 0. A. Patterson, who has so ably
assisted Mr.. SERVER in the manage
ment Of the business here and else
where as bcokkeeper, has offered his
resignation and will probably, in the
near future. sever his connection with
the company.
We are not advised as to the plans
of these two gentlemen. whether the,
will engage in business here or &C
elsewhere for that purpose. 1t is sin
cerely hoped that nothing will tras,s
pire to cause their removal from Den
ison. Both families are socially prom
inent and popular with Denison PEG
| pie, and it would be a distinct loss tC
the community if either should de
eide to move from here.
We understand the business of the
company will be conducted in the fu
ture as it has been in the past. Mr.
A A. Hoefer, who is temporary If
charge OF the business. will remain
long enough to enable the company tc
secure a permanent manager for the
place. The company has long en-
joyed the confidence of the commun
ity, and its business transactions" have
been of an extensive character.

Mr.. Laubs early days were spent in
Gettysburg, but at twelve he began to
earn his own way. For more than
four years he worked on a farm and
then, taken with the spirit of adj
venture, he ran away and went to
Maryland, where he worked until he
was eighteen. He next returned to
his home at Gettysburg and there, for
a few weeks, he received the only
schooling" that he experienced dur
ing his busy life. After the brief
school life he learned the trade of
shoemaking and followed this occu-
patton for four years. He must have
been doing something else during
these years however, as he gave up
the bench and the last and commenced
teaching school. He taught for four
years in Pennsylvania and then, dis
satisfied with the opportunities afford
ed in the east, he decided to strike
out for himself in the glorious west.
1t was in 1851 that he first came to
Iowa. His first stop was in Musca-
tine and it is characteristic OF the
man that the very first day he got a
job teaching school. After two years
as a pedagogue in Muscatine he began
his career as merchant by opening
a store at Cedar Rapids. This venture
did not prove very successful. (Mr.
Laub had ups and downs all through
his business career, but no amount
of adversely ever discouraged him.
Next we find him at Scotch Grove
on forty-acre farm eight miles from
Cedar Rapids. Then he farmed for a
year or so in Benton county and final
ly he came to Mason's Grove, in
Crawford county, in 1855. He came
here for the purpose of farming and
his first step was to buy tract near
Deloit. But he soon found that the
people needed merchandise and he
went into partnership in little store
Mr.. ]. w. Denison, in the interest Of
the Providence Western Land COM
pany, was endeavoring to found town
on the Boyer valley in the center of
Crawford county. He tried to start
a store, but the men he employed
proved incapable or dishonest. Mr.
Laub had about decided to build a
store in Marshall's Grove, about a
mile northeast of Denison, but Mr..
Denison dissuaded him and traded
the stock he had here for Mr. Laub S
land and our pioneer merchant finally
located here in 1857. He built store

store goods" of all kinds. But the
next spring the store had to close.
The goods had all been sold
on credit--and there was no money
to buy more. The pioneers were hon
est, however, and with the next har-
vest the money came in and the store
was re-Opened. For years Mr.. Laub
was the merchant prince of western
Iowa. Denison was his central place
of business, but through partnerships
he extended his interests in every d.
rection. During this period he was in

Mr.. BrCadhurst and family, of Oma-
ha, will visit here Thanksgiving with
Mrs. G. w. Heston. Mr.. Broadhurst
will be remembered as a young man
who was practically raised in Deni
son, being something of protege of
the Heston and Wheeler families. We
understand the plan is to have some
thing of a reunion of the two families
with the Broadhurst family on Thanks
giving. Mr. Broadhurst's old friends
will be glad to meet him.
