Following is a brief resume of his life: Mr. Pett, like many of our most estimable citizens, came here from England. He was born in Staffordshire, England, September 27, 1824, son of William and Hannah (Gaskins) Pett, natives of England. His father was born in Kent. Mrs. Pett was born in Warwickshire. Both parents passed their lives in England and died there, honored and respected by all who knew them. The father was a nurseryman and surveyor by occupation. He belonged to the Episcopal Church. The subject of our sketch was sent away to school until he was thirteen years old, at which time he entered a dry-goods store as clerk, remaining thus occupied four years. He then learned the trade of carpenter and joiner. In 1851 he came to the United States, landing at New Orleans, he went first to St. Louis, and then to Muscatine, Iowa, working at his trade a short time at both places. He then returned to St. Louis. This was during the cholera epidemic along the Mississippi river in 1852. The following year he went West and worked at his trade in Nevada and Utah, and in 1854 he came back to Iowa. Four years he lived at North Grove. In 1868 he came to his present farm of 160 acres, known as the Edmond Howorth, Sr., farm, and one of the finest improved ones in this part of the county, a portion of it being prairie and the rest timber land. As prosperity attended his earnest efforts he bought more land, being now the owner of 525 acres of rich soil, and being classed with the most extensive landholders in the township. His house, a frame one, is one of the most solid and substantial in the neighborhood. It is commodious and comfortable, has beneath it a rock foundation and is surrounded by a pretty lawn, dotted over with trees and shrubs, and near by is a fine orchard and grove. His farm improvements are first-class and kept in good order, and his land is well watered and adapted for general farming and stock- raising. Mr. Pett was married at Birmingham. England, in 1845, to Miss Mary A. Ingram, who proved herself truly a worthy helpmate, and for forty-six years was the sharer of his joys and sorrows. She was born at Weston, in Oxfordshire, England, daughter of Samuel and Keziah (Coggins) Ingram. They had ten children, six sons and four daughters, namely: Mary Ann Shaw, a resident of this township; William Ingram; Oliver J. ; John M.; Keziah Jane, who died at the age of eight years; Samuel I.; Fanny L.; Ellen N. Young, of Shelby county, Iowa; George A.; Fred A.; Serena S. Young, of Grove township, Shelby county, Iowa. The great affliction of Mr. Pett's life was in the death of his beloved wife, July 11, 1892, aged sixty-six years, one month and one day. He and his family are members of the Church of the Latter-Day Saints, of which he is an Elder. Politically Mr. Pett is a Democrat. He has served efficiently as Assessor, Township Trustee and member of the School Board. He has traveled extensively, is a great reader and a close observer, and has a stock of general information. Such is a brief review of the life of one of the highly respected citizens of Crawford county.
