Rodwell A worthy pioneer of Hardin county is William H. Rodwell, who, after a long life of labor and usefulness, is living retired in a cozy home in the village of Union, having come to us from the old Tar state in the early days and played well his part in developing the newer Hawkeye country, winning material success and the esteem of a wide circle of friends. He has always been known as a man of strong convictions, fearless in defense of what he believes to be right, and his name has long been a synonym for honesty in his dealings with his fellow men. His life has been singularly free from faults, and by reason of his genial manner he ranks with the popular and successful citizens of the township where he has so long maintained his residence. Mr. Rodwell was born in Orange county, North Carolina, in September, 1832. He is the son of William and Margaret (Potts) Rodwell, the father a native of Warren county, North Carolina, and the mother of Virginia. The Rodwell family was of Scotch descent and was always noted for its sterling virtues. The following children were born to Mr. and Mrs. William Rodwell: William H., of this review; Mary, Elizabeth, Anna and one died in infancy. William H. Rodwell received a limited education in the public schools of his native state. When sixteen years of age he moved to Yadkin county, North Carolina, and in 1869 made the long overland journey to Bangor, Iowa, and in 1872 located in the village of Union, Hardin county. Thus for a period of nearly forty years he has been known here and actively identified with the growth of this community. He followed various clerkships creditably and successfully until he retired in 1891. Mr. Rodwell was married in 1857 to Martha Williams, who was born in Yadkin county, North Carolina, the daughter of C. W. and Ann (Johnson) Williams, one of the honored old families of that section of the state. The Williams family was of Scotch descent and the Johnsons were of English extraction. Mrs. George Hauser, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this work is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Rodwell. Info provided by Robert Fahey.
