Read More	W. P. HITCHCOCK, of Lake township, who is now cultivating the farm upon which his father located more than fifty years ago, was born in this place, February 21, 1859. He is a son of J. C.and Cassandra CHAPMAN Hitchcock, the former a native of Kent, Ohio and the latter of Cass county, this state. The father came to Muscatine county in 1847 and the mother in 1856. During the gold excitement J. C. Hitchcock went to California but soon came to the conclusion that mining was not according to his taste and he returned to Muscatine county, where later he took up land under a Mexican land warrant. He was married in 1858 and continued upon his farm until his death, which occurred February 15, 1904. He was an industrious and energetic man and at the time of his demise was the owner of one hundred and sixty acres of well improved land. Mrs. Hitchcock died January 5, 1911. In their family were nine children: W. P., our subject; NANCY B., the wife of W. W. WEST, of Alabama ; CORNELIA L.,now Mrs. John HOOPES of Lake township ; JOSIAH, who was born May 15, 1863, and departed this life November 25, 1865 ; ALICE MAY, who was born May 15, 1868, and died September 16, 1870 ; JOHANNA B., the wife of John T. DIRSTINE, of the state of Washington ; GEORGE F., who was born June 16, 1873, and died June 7, 1874 ; CORA P., who was born May 15, 1875, and died May 4, 1891 ; and FRANCES H., a graduate of Valparaiso University, and also of the Chicago Training School for Home and Foreign Missions, who went to China as a missionary in 1905, of New jersey. The subject of this review received his preliminary education in the common schools and attended business college at Davenport for some time, but being a man of close observation, he has learned a great deal in the course of his business career which is not taught in books. With the exception of three years which he spent upon another farm in Muscatine county, he has devoted his attention to the home place, where he has engaged in general farming, making a specialty of raising and breeding Poland China hogs, in which he has been highly successful, having delivered from his farm some of the finest specimens of this breed that have been produced in Muscatine county. He also feeds and raises stock for the market and is generally able to command good prices for what he has for sale. He gives his allegiance to the democratic party, accepting its principles as those best adapted to advance the permanent welfare of the country. He has been honored by election to various offices and is now serving as township trustee and clerk and also as justice of the peace, filling these positions with an ability that meets the hearty acceptance of voters regardless of party affiliation. No man in the locality stands higher in the estimation of those who know him than the gentleman whose record is herewith presented. Provided by collene/family finder
