Read More	CHARLES SWARTZLENDER No history of Tipton would be complete without extended mention of Charles Swartzlender, who, however, needs no introduction to the readers of this volume. He has spent his entire life here and he has no stancher friends than those who have known him from his boyhood, a fact that indicates that his record has at all times been one worthy of commendation and of respect. He was born in Tipton, February 28, 1858. His parents were Reuben and Martha (Dale) Swartzlender, both of whom were natives of Union county, Pennsylvania, the former born August 22, 1821, and the latter on the 25th of June, 1831. In the year 1840 Reuben Swartzlender arrived in Cedar county. He lost his mother when very young, and, being one of a large family who must be provided for, he was bound out and thus served until eighteen years of age with a guardian, who removed from Pennsylvania to Ohio. From the latter state he made his way to Iowa and spent the remainder of his life in Cedar county. Several years passed before the state was admitted to the Union and the work of progress and development seemed scarcely begun here. He entered land from the government and with characteristic energy began its improvement. Later he bought and sold other lands, trading and speculating quite extensively in property. In 1855 he established his home in Tipton, where he engaged in merchandising for a number of years. In fact he was connected with the commercial interests here at different times, buying and selling stores. He was a natural trader and in all of his business affairs met with success, owing to his sound judgment and unfaltering enterprise. He was recognized as a man of marked business ability and energy, and that he enjoyed the unqualified confidence and trust of the general public is shown in the fact that he was frequently called upon to administer estates for others. Probably no other man in the county did such an extensive service of this character as Reuben Swartzlender, and no one ever suffered the loss of a dollar at his hands. Moreover, he was a public-spirited citizen and cooperated in many measures and movements for the general good. For his first wife Reuben Swartzlender chose a Miss Carl, who died leaving no children. For his second wife he wedded Martha Dale, who removed from Pennsylvania to Ohio with her parents in her early girlhood and in 1838 came with her people to Iowa, remaining a resident of Cedar county until she was called to her final rest in 1865. She was a daughter of Frederick and Katherine (Kester) Dale, both of whom were natives of Pennsylvania and spent their last days in Cedar county, Iowa, the father passing away in 1854, while the mother reached the advanced age of ninety-four years, her death occurring in 1884. On coming to the west they settled on a farm five miles south of Tipton and there resided until Mr. Dale passed away, when his widow took up her abode in the county seat. Their family numbered six children: Katherine, the widow of Joseph Knott; Mary, the wife of King Hardman, now deceased; John, who died of typhoid fever in 1854 about the same time as his father’s death; Susan, who died in Tipton in 1904; Philip, who was married and at his death left a family; and Mrs. Swartzlender. In the family of Mr. and Mrs. Swartzlender were eight children: Nettie, the wife of A. B. Maynard, of San Francisco; Mary, the widow of R. C. Whitson, of Santa Ana, California; Ella, the wife of C. E. Maynard, of San Francisco; Charles; Martha, the widow of J. H. Coutts, who was president of the City National Bank of Tipton, Iowa, at the time of his death; Walter, living in Wilton, Iowa; one who died in infancy; and Christiana, who died at the age of five years. Reuben Swartzlender was born in Union county, Pennsylvania Aug. 22, 1821. He moved to Crawford county, Ohio when nine years of age and to Cedar county, Iowa July, 1840, where he has resided until his death October 16, 1903. He was married to Clarissa Carl in 1841; she died in 1842. In 1848 he was married to Martha Dale; she died Aug., 17, 1865. Eight children were born to them two dying in infancy the others surviving him, being Mrs. Henrietta Maynard of San Francisco, Cal., Mrs. Mary Whitson of Satan Anna, Cal., Mrs. Ellen Maynard of Newport, Arkansas, Charles, Walter, and Mrs. Martha Coutts, all of Tipton, Iowa. Funeral services were held at the home of Charles Swartzlender Sunday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. Samuel Conybears. The deceased was one of the earliest pioneer setters of Cedar county and noticeable among the large number of those who were present to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of one who had lived a long, useful and honorable life, were the faces of many of his aged associates in the early days. The remains were followed to their last resting place in the beautiful cemetery at Rochester by many friends. The obsequies at the grave were in charge of Cedar lodge A.F.&A.M. of which the deceased was a member.
