Cecil, who with his wife owns a fine farm of two hundred acres on section 18, Seventy-six township, is one of the prosperous farmers of Muscatine county. He is a native of Kentucky, born in July, 1844, and is a son of James and Polly ( Hatcher ) Cecil. The parents were both born in Kentucky and spent their lives in that state. There were nine children in their family, six of whom are now living. The subject of this review was educated in the public schools and remained at home until he was twenty-one years of age, when he came to Louisa county, Iowa, and worked upon the farm for four years. At twenty-five years of age he was married and began assisting his father-in-law in Muscatine county. At the present time Mr. Cecil and his wife are the owners of a well improved farm, which is provided with all the modern facilities and has been brought to a high state of cultivation. He makes a specialty of raising and feeding stock and by close application and good management has become very successful in this line. In 1869 Mr. Cecil was united in marriage to Miss ELIZA M FULLMER, who was born in Muscatine county in 1847 and is a daughter of John and Margery ( Meeker ) Fullmer, the former of whom was a native of Maryland and the latter of Ohio. Mr. Fullmer came to Muscatine county, Iowa in 1844, and entered land in Seventy-six township, where he built a log cabin according to the primitive style, covering it with clapboards and providing it with a puncheon floor and door. He lived in this cabin with his family until 1854, when he built a substantial brick house, which is still standing on the farm. He was an industrious man of high character and one of the best farmers of his neighborhood. He departed this life in February, 1903, at the advanced age of ninety-three years, his wife having been called away in 1872. Seven children were born of their union, three of whom are now living. Mr. and Mrs. Cecil have four children : J. Burt, now engaged in the grocery business at Wapello, Iowa ; Mary K., the wife of Maurice Poling, of Ottumwa, this state ; Fred D., of Kimball county, Nebraska ; and Effie I., the wife of Jacob Colbert, of Louisa county, Iowa. Mr. Cecil has ever since boyhood been active and energetic and however dark the day has been able to draw lessons of encouragement which has assisted him in the discharge of his duties. As a result he has many friends and is highly respected by those who best know him. Politically he is in sympathy with the democratic party and he has served to the general satisfaction of the people of his district as school director. Mrs. Cecil is a well educated woman and taught school before her marriage. She is a valued member of the Methodist Episcopal church. The house in which she now lives is greatly endeared to her by many associations, as here she was born and here for fifty-four years she has made her home.
