Du BOIS, the extensive stock-dealer, was born in McDonough County, Ill., on Christmas Day of 1842, and was brought to this county during his infancy. His education was acquired in the common schools of the neighborhood, and as soon as he was old enough to ride a horse he commenced to drive stock, and it has been his life work to deal therein. On attaining his majority he commenced buying stock as agent for the firm of Onderdonk & Redfield, of Galesburg, Ill., with whom he remained two years, the last year receiving $100 per month and expenses. In 1865 he began operations in the same line in his own interests, and has continued the business to the present time with marked success. Other enterprises have also occupied his attention. He has also engaged in farming and in furnishing building materials under contract, and for the last ten years has carried on a meat market. On the 21st of December, 1865, Mr. Du BOIS led to the marriage altar Miss Sarah WELCH, who was born in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, February 26, 1845, and is a daughter of John and Clarissa (CHASE) WELCH, whose sketch appears on another page of this work. One child has been born unto them, a daughter, Charlotte A. Both Mr. Du BOIS and his wife are members of the Methodist Church, and socially he is an Odd Fellow. Unlike his father and brothers, he is an advocate of Republican principles, and was elected by that party as Alderman of the Second Ward for one term. Mr. Du BOIS is a self-made man, having by his own efforts acquired his possessions, including one hundred and seventy acres of farm land beside his stock and town property. Though comparatively a young man he is an old settler and one who stands high in the community." ------------ Shares monument with brother Theodore Polk DuBois (on other side, with his wife Ann Blough, and their family).
