Read More	DAVID DEVOL was born in Chatham, NY, Nov 27, 1805, son of JOSHUA and MARTHA (GIFFORD) DEVOL, of French extraction, and natives of Massachusetts. David was the youngest of a family of five children, and is the only one now living. His father died when he was a small child, and at the age of eleven, he began to learn the trade of carding wool and dyeing and dressing cloth, at which he worked until after he was married. October 20, 1830, in Canaan, NY, he wedded Delia TOBY, who was born in that state, January 12, 1812. They located in Chatham, and a year later he engaged in the general mercantile business, which he continued 9 years in that town and in West Stockbridge, Massachusetts. After that he came West and settled at Nauvoo, Illinois, where he made his home five years. In 1846 he continued his way westward, spent the first winter on the Des Moines River, and in 1847 came to Council Bluffs, where he has since continued to reside. The first two years of his residence here he was variously employed, then clerked three years, after which, until 1861, his occupation was diversified. In that year, his son, P.C. opened a stove and tin ware store and he has been associated with him since that time. Mr. DEVOL has officiated at various capacities: as Justice of the Peace, Assessor, Deputy District Clerk, etc. He was elected Justice of the Peace in 1852. He affiliates with the Republican party. To him and his wife ten (10)children were born, five of whom grew to maturity. Their names are as follows: George, deceased; Harriet wife of William N. Green of Council Bluffs, died in 1889; P.C.,(Paul Clyde) a sketch of whom appears elsewhere; Emily, Martha, David, Charles, all deceased; Delia, wife of W.R. Vaughan removed to Omaha, Nebraska; and William, deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Devol have reached an advanced age, but are well preserved considering their many years of pioneer life and the hardships through which they have passed.
