Read More	Husband of Grace E. McBride JAMES W. McBRIDE The McBride family have been prominent factors in Shelby county since 1865, when Thomas McBride and his family settled on a farm in Union township. A man who rears a large family of children to lives of usefulness and honor performs his duty as well and faithfully as the man who garners in millions of dollars and endows libraries. Thomas McBride and his good wife have been married nearly sixty years and there has grown up around them a large family of children, nine of whom grew to maturity, married and are now rearing families of their own. Such a record is deserving of special mention. The historian is pleased to present to the readers of Shelby county the main features of the McBride family history. James W. McBride, the eighth child of Thomas McBride, is now a prosperous farmer in Union township, this county. He was born July 25, 1871, in Union township, and has spent all of his life in the county of his birth. Thomas McBride, a son of Thomas and Jane (Bird) McBride, was born in Delaware, December 21, 1831. His parents were both born in Newcastle county, Delaware, and lived there all their lives. Thomas McBride, Sr., was a teamster in early life, and later was a farmer until his death, which occurred when he was fifty-two years of age. Thomas McBride, Sr., and wife were the parents of ten children: William, Daniel, Rebecca, John, Miller, Rachel, Mary, Julia, Joseph and Thomas. All of these children are deceased except Julia, Joseph and Thomas. Thomas McBride, Jr., attended school in Newcastle county, Delaware, and after leaving the school room, worked as a laborer in his native state, never receiving more than sixty cents for a day's work. He remained in his native state until he was twenty-three years of age and then went to Indiana, and settled in Putnam county, that state, where he obtained employment as the manager of a farm. He retained this position for five years, and having married in the meantime, rented a farm and farmed in Indiana until 1865. The state of Iowa, having been opened to settlement, he came to Iowa and located in Union township, where he bought a farm of one hundred and sixty acres. He contracted to pay eight dollars a month for the land, but it was ten years before he even started to pay anything at all on the principal. He had ten children and since corn was practically the only crop that was raised at that time and corn brought only ten to eighteen cents a bushel, it was hard to get enough ahead to make a payment on the farm. Nevertheless, he weathered all storms and eventually paid for the land, and when he retired in 1899 he had one of the best improved farms in the county. Thomas McBride was married in Putnam county, Indiana, in 1856, to Sarah Ann Eller, the daughter of David and Sarah Ann (Leonard) Eller, and to this union have been born ten children: William, Marion, Oliver, Eliza, John, Martha, Maggie, James, Charles and Alma. William married Ida Haines, and has six children, Stella, Josette, Leroy, Linas, Delia and Frank; Marion married Emma Wilkins, and has one son, Forrest; Oliver married Emma Cohagen and has four children, Ray, Eunice, Harold and Clarence; Eliza, who is the only child deceased, died in infancy; John married Josephine Wiley, and has five children, Wave, Maize, Alberta, Thomas W., and Donald J.; Martha is the wife of James Reynolds, and has seven children, Floy, Ada, Clead, Fay, Zona, Dollie and Viona; Maggie is the wife of Frank Swartz, and has four children, Clifford, Harley, James and Fred; James W., the eighth child, married Grace Wiggins, and has two children, Helen and Everill; Charles married Blanche Wright, and has three children, Wright, Bernice and Barbara; Alma is the wife of Jesse Wilson, and has one daughter, Lucile. Thomas McBride and wife celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary in 1906 and are still enjoying good health. Mrs. McBride's parents were both natives of North Carolina and early settlers in Putnam county, Indiana, where they both died. She was one of seven children: Nelson, Jackson, Susan, Catherine, Louisa, Irene and Sarah Ann, the wife of Mr. McBride. All of these children are now deceased, with the exception of Mrs. McBride. Thomas McBride and his wife have been members of the Methodist Episcopal church for more than half a century, and for many years Mr. McBride was a trustee of the church and steward. He has been a Master Mason for more than a half century. He has been a life-long Republican, but has never held any position other than, that of road supervisor. Mr. McBride is a fine type of the sterling pioneers who made Iowa what it is today. He has never taken a drop of intoxicating liquors of any kind and attributes his longevity to excellent care of his health. James W. McBride, the eighth child of Thomas and Sarah Ann (Bird) McBride, received his education in the schools of this county, and after leaving school assisted his father on the home farm until he was twenty-seven years of age. He then married Grace Wiggins, the daughter of Milton and Sarah (Hayes) Wiggins, and rented a farm from his father. In 1910, he purchased his present farm of one hundred, and twenty acres and has made extensive improvements upon it since acquiring it. The farm is now one of the best improved in the county, and he intends to make it a model farm in every particular. James W. McBride and wife are the parents of two children, Helen and Everill Mrs. McBride's parents are natives of Iowa and Ohio, respectively, her father having come to Iowa when a young man. Mr. and Mrs. Hayes are the parents of seven children, Willis, Mildred, Emma, Winnie, Eugene, Flora and Grace, the wife of Mr. McBride. Willis married Kate Griffin and has two children, John and Martin; Emma married Leslie Poitevin, and has three children, Howard, Lois and Francis; Eugene married Nellie Madonzie, while Mildred and Flora are still unmarried and at home with their parents. Mr. and Mrs: Hayes are now living in Dow City, Iowa, where Mr. Hayes is following the blacksmith's trade.
