Cyrus is the son of George W. and Susanna (Harcourt) Nolin, the father born on the banks of White river, Indiana, May 16, 1829, and the mother was a native of Green County, Wisconsin, having been born near Monroe in 1837. Grandfather: Daniel Nolin was married before and Lavisa, George's mother married after the death of Daniel Nolin, his father. George was the only child of that union, and he was brought up by his uncle, John Crist, but he left his uncle's home at the age of sixteen years and started in life for himself. He had thus spent thirteen years with his uncle, since he was three years old when taken to his home in Wisconsin. At the age of twenty one George W. Nolin came with a party of friends and relatives to Jasper county, Iowa, in 1850, and located at Monroe, Iowa. He first worked in the blacksmith shop of Jacob Kipp and Louis Hummel, and he became an expert blacksmith and gunsmith. He soon bought eighty acres five miles east of Monroe and paid twenty-five per cent interests on the money he borrowed to enter the land from the government. In those days game was plentiful here, the county being wild and unsettled, and George W. Nolin became a famous hunter. He is said to have killed more deer than any man in this locality, being an expert shot. He located a shop on his farm and divided his attention between the two. At the time of his death, July 28, 1886, he owned one hundred and seventy acres. He was a natural mechanical genius and his services as a blacksmith and gunsmith were in demand. He was a strong advocate of anti-slavery, and the fugitive law was the only law of his country he refused to obey, he and his neighbors materially assisting slaves. After the Civil war he was a J.B. Weaver man and followed him in politics.
