:. one of the good lawyers of the state and is a man of high character and strong convictions and has the courage to stand four-square for the right as he sees it. That he will make a strong candidate for attorney general cannot be questioned."
On the 18th of October, 1905, Mr. Sampson was united in marriage to Miss Mary Luella Stubbs. They are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, and
' · Mr. Sampson is a member of the official board. He also holds membership with the Masons, having become a Knight Templar, a Consistory Mason and a Noble of the Mystic Shrine. In politics he is a republican and is interested in problems connected with the science of government and in the vital issues of the day. Mr. Sampson is a member of the American Bar Association, as well as the Polk County Bar Association. He belongs to the Des Moines Club, Grant Club, University of Chicago Club and the Delta Chi, a legal fraternity. His social nature thus finds expression and he has many friends both within and without those organizations. His public work has made him widely and favorably known, and no one questions the integrity of his motives, even though they differ from him in poli~y and purpose.
JULIUS ROHWER.
The successful and enterprising business methods which Julius Rohwer has always followed are indicated in the fact that while at one time his establishment was the smallest devoted to a general line it is now the largest in Ida county with a trade exceeding that of all other enterprises of a similar character in the county. He started upon his business career in the capacity of clerk when but sixteen years of age. He was born at Davenport, Iowa, June 13, 1866, a son of Henry and Catharine (Barofsky) Rohwer, both of whom were -natives of Germany but emigrated to America when in childhood.
In the public schools of Davenport Julius Rohwer pursued his education but at the age of sixteen years started upon his business career and has since been dependent entirely upon his own resources . A laudable ambition prompted him to put forth his best efforts and gradually he has advanced. In time he embarked in merchandising on his own account, starting with the smallest general store in Ida county. Step by step, however, he has developed his business and increased his stock to meet the growing demands of the trade. He now owns the largest store not only in Ida Grove but also has the most extensive establishment and bigge·st business in Ida county, carrying an attractive line of goods which meets the varying demands of the general public. He has also had grain and stock-buying experience and whatever he has undertaken he has carried forward .to successful completion. As his financial resom·ces have increased he has become the owner of considerable property, now having various real-estate interests both in the town and in the surrounding country. His career has made evident the . fact that a business honestly conducted, in accordance with the great laws which control all legitimate business, can rise to the forefront in commercial circles. He has conducted his enterprise on the value for value system, so that each customer paying his dollar gets his dollar's worth of value. Declining all illegitimate methods and believing that honesty is the best policy, he has builded upon the simple, old-fashioned principles of trade and has risen to heights of success .

1078 I ow a: Its History and Its Foremost Citizens
On the 7th of December, 1897, at Ida Grove, Iowa, Mr. Rohwer was married to Miss Emma Waack, a daughter of Gustav and Dorothea Waack. They have become the parents of nine children, namely, Frances, Orville, Alvera, Julius, Verona, Raymond, Harold, Sylvia and Mildred. Mr. Rohwer is a member of the Methodist church, while Mrs. Rohwer is a member of the German Lutheran church.
In his political views Mr. Rohwer has ever been an earnest democrat, active in the work of the party and in 1900 he was an alternate to the democratic national convention held in K·ansas City. For twelve years he served as a member of the city council and exercised his official prerogatives in support of many plans and projects for the public good. He has been justice of the peace, member of the board of education and member of the thirty-fifth general assembly and he has also declined a number of political offices that have been offered him. He has, however, been prominently identified with all civic enterprises of his town and of many has been a leading spirit. He is now identified with all branches of Masonry and also holds membership with the Odd Fellows, the Knights · of Pythias, the Modern Woodmen, the Highlanders and others . In these different organizations he has held many offices and at present is head · consul of the Modern Woodmen in the state of Iowa. His entire life record measures up to high standards. By his character, by his conduct, by his success he has proven that it pays to give up all fictitious methods of business and, returning to that which is honest, laborious and true, thus win prosperity and the respect of one's fellows.
HENRY E. FICKE.
Henry E. Ficke, late of Davenport, Iowa, was one of those German-born citizens of the United States who came to this country in search of greater opportunities and here found a fruitful field for his labors. Having inherited the laudable qualities of the German race, he added thereto American aggressiveness and enterprise and succeeded to a remarkable degree in his business ventures. · He was for many years engaged in the farm implement business and so successful was he in the conduct of his business affairs that he was enabled to retire about fifteen years prior to his death.
Mr. Ficke was born in Bortzenburg, Mecklenburg, Germany, March ~~, 1839, arid with his parents came to the United States in 185~. Shortly after their arrival the family settled in Scott county, Iowa, throwing in their lot with those enterprising pioneers of the middle west who have made this state one of the foremost agricultural sections in the world.
Henry E. Ficke remained on his father's farm, acquiring his education in the schools of that neighborhood and assisting with the work until 1860, when he came to Davenport. He made this city his home until death called him on August 19, 1908. Having grown up amid farm surroundings, he readily recognized the great opportunities which lay before one who would engage in the farm implement business and took up this line of business. Being by actual experience acquainted with the needs of the farmers, he was destined to be successful along this line. He developed a large and successful business and by his fair methods _won numerous friends among the farming community. Having accumulated a gratifying competency, he
