Paul was engaged in mercantile pursuits with brother. In the year 1855 Mir. Paul went to Geneseo and purchased the 160 acres of section which has ever since been in the possession of the family. The hus- band passed away December 22, 1888. Mrs. Paul has continued to operate the farm where she was living with the assistance of her nephew, Carl B. Chamberlain and demonstrated her ability as business woman. Three children were born to MT. and Mrs. Paul, of whom two, a son and a daughter, died in infancy.
