In 1864 he came to Iowa, and engaged in mercantile business for eighteen years in Kennebec township, Monona county. John R. Oldis was twelve years old when he came to Iowa, and has followed farming most of the time since. In 1886 he established a livery business at Castana, and two years later removed to Smithland. In April, 1890, he opened the St. George hotel, which he conducts in addition to the livery business. For many years he was a member of the I.O.G.T., and still maintains his temperance principles. Politically, he is a republican, and has served as constable and school director in Monona county. In August, 1889, he married Susie A. Foster, who was born at Saxonville, Mass., and is a daughter of William and Susan A. (Tibbetts) Foster, natives of Germany and New Hampshire, respectively.
