Neal Mouw was born in West Branch Township on August 10, 1876 He was one of the first two infants to be baptized in the first congregation of Sioux Center. This took place in the schoolhouse on the Peter Schut homestead. The Rev. Seine Bolks was the missionary pastor. He grew to young manhood on his father's homestead one and a half miles west of Sioux Center. After completing a business course at LeMars he entered the employ of the Citizens State Bank of Sioux Center in June, 1897, as assistant cashier. After being so employed until 1903, he was elected cashier and was at that time the youngest bank cashier in Sioux County. He continued in this position until 1918, when he was elected President; in which position he continued until his resignation shortly before his death. On December 4,1802, Neal Mouw and Wihelmina Vander Meide were married at Orange City. On the same day they started housekeeping in their present home—almost 43 years ago. Was Mayor Four Years From 1900 to 1906 he also acted as Town Clerk, and from 1906 to l910 he held the office of Mayor of the town, and filled the office with credit to him self and the office. During his term of office as mayor the Town Council and mayor refused to renew the saloon license, and the town went "dry". It was the first town in Sioux County to go "dry". There were six councilmen at that time and the vote was three for and three against. Neal Mouw's vote was the deciding vote and he voted "dry". Throughout the years he enjoyed the complete confidence of the community. He was steady, conservative dependable. No depositor was ever asked to discount the amount of his claim, and the bank over which he presided always functioned "on all fours", and always met its obligations. He was of the highest social and moral standards, a source of strength to all that is good in church and comnunity. He served his day and generation well. Sioux Center News 1945-09-20.
