Cleveland, who since January, 1907, has capably discharged the duties devolving upon him in the capacity of county auditor of Linn county, is numbered among the worthy native sons of this county, his birth having occurred in Marion on the 14th day of January, 1868. His parents were David and Sarah (Carver) Cleveland. The father, who was engaged in business as a carpenter contractor, came to this state from Washington county, New York, in early manhood. When the Civil war broke out he enlisted in defense of the Union, becoming a member of Company K, Twenty-second Iowa Volunteer Infantry, with which he served throughout the entire period of hostilities. After being honorably discharged from the army he went to Johnson county, Iowa, but soon afterward took up his abode in this county. Here he resumed work at his trade and thus remained an active factor in industrial circles of Marion until the time of this death, which occurred in November, 1872. His widow is living at the age of sixty-seven years in Marion and still enjoys good health. Unto them were born two children, namely: Mrs. Caroline Kerr, residing in Ramona, California; and Francis J., of this review. Francis J. Cleveland attended the public schools in the acquirement of an education and after putting aside his text-books secured a position in the First National Bank of Marion, while later he entered the Cedar Rapids Savings Bank and next became employed in the Mount Vernon Bank. He afterward re-entered the First National Bank at Marion, remaining in the service of that institution until 1903, when he was appointed deputy auditor of Linn county. After acting in that capacity for four years he was elected county auditor, in which office he has remained the efficient incumbent since January , 1907. In July 1895, Mr. Cleveland was united in marriage to Miss Nellie Walter, a daughter of B. F. and Abbey (Schenck) Walter, of Mount Vernon. They are now the parents of four children: Lester Francis, Walter Newell, Elizabeth Grace, and Grover, born February 9, 1910. Mr. Cleveland is a worthy examplar of the Masonic fraternity, belonging to the blue lodge, the chapter, the commandery and the shrine. He is likewise identified with the Knights of Pythias and also belongs to the Presbyterian church, in the work of which the members of his family take an active and helpful part. As a citizen he is public spirited and whatever tends to promote the best interests of the community receives his endorsement and hearty support. He has spent his entire life in this county and is therefore widely and favorably known, commanding the high regard of all with whom he has been associated.
