An article from "Biographical History of Crawford, Ida and Sac Counties": J.F. Wiley, a farmer living on section 28, Washington township, Crawford county, Iowa, an old settler and widely known, was born in Logan county, Ohio, May 2, 1851. He is the son of James Wiley, born in Ohio, and of Ellen (Slater) Wiley, a native of Pennsylvania. The family settled near Springdale, Cedar county, Iowa, in 1855, being pioneers. The father died there in 1869, leaving his widow with nine children, namely: Mary Elizabeth, Henrietta, Samantha, John, Susan, Hattie, Ellen and Dora. Six of them are now living in this county. The mother afterward married Benjamin Hardy and lives in this county. The father of our subject was a farmer and in religious belief was a Friend or Quaker. Our subject was four years old when his parents removed to Cedar county, where he grew up and received his education. At the age of twenty he located in this county and township, settling on wild land, which his industry has converted into a finely improved farm of 490 acres. Reaching here in 1871, he was one of the very early settlers and has seen with his own eyes the building up of the country. He has a good house, 20 x 32 feet, a yard and lawn, a grove and orchard of three acres; a barn 20 x 36 feet, with 16 foot posts, a crib and granary, 26 x 48 feet, with 20 foot center; sheds, stables, etc; yards and feedlots and stock scales for cattle; good fences enclosing the farm, meadows, pastures, plow lots, fruit trees, windmill for forcing water through pipes, etc. In fact, it would seem all that one could ask for in the way of a complete farm. He keeps 100 head of cattle, a large number of hogs, etc. Mr. Wiley was married June 28, 1874, to Miss Elizabeth Thompson, a daughter of T.B. Thompson, of this township, born in Virginia, and of Eliza (Grace) Thompson, who was born in Pennsylvania. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson had eight children, four sons and four daughters. Mr. and Mrs. Wiley have seven children, namely: Frank, Josie, Fred, Nettie, Bert, Lida, and Altha. Our subject is a Democrat, a Trustee of the township and a member of the United Brethren Church and of lodge No. 444 A.F.&A.M. of Defiance. He is a man at the best period of his life for effective business, and with his popularity, good judgment and energy has a pleasant future before him. ------------ Additional Information -------------- Obituary: Dow City people and all those in this county who knew J.F. Wiley of Dow City were inexpressibly shocked yesterday to learn that he had expired at the home of his daughter, Mrs. S.E. Goddard, at 11:00 o'clock Tuesday forenoon, March 30, 1909, from heart failure. The Bulletin editor little thought when he was talking with Mr. Wiley in Dow City yesterday morning at 8:30 that in a few short hours this old citizen and pioneer would be dead. Mr. Wiley was then apparently in his usual health and spirits. He was considering a trip to Denison but wanted to get some farm work started the following day, so did not come. It seems he had been troubled with his heart somewhat for the past year, and it was about 9:00 o'clock when he had an attack come on him. He rallied from this soon, however, and was then at the home of his daughter when the second attack came on so suddenly and subtilely that he was dead before anyone knew of it. Mr. Wiley was born May 2, 1851, in Ohio. At the age of 20 he came to Crawford County and cast his lot with the pioneers who were developing the rich county. He made a great success of life, accumulating considerable property and raising a family of nine children. One or two of the children died and were buried at Defiance, and the father was buried there beside them. He leaves his wife and seven children to mourn the loss of parent and protector. He was a member of the Odd Fellows lodge of Dow City. Mr. Wiley farmed for many years north of Defiance, in Washington township and moved to Dow City several years ago where he has been taking life somewhat easier. He was a corpulent man, but full of good humor and was genial and whole-souled always. His mind was ever set on the right principles and his convictions on all subjects were sound and judicious. As a citizen he will be much missed by all.
