I have a further record of James C. Sellers of Oskaloosa,
IA. This comes
from Portrait and Biographical Record of Mahaska Co., IA, published by
Chapman in 1887. Everything needs corroboration, but the information
points
those interested in the right directions for further knowledge.
James C. Sellers, born January 14, 1828 in Garrard
Co., KY. Son of Nathan
Sellers and Mary Yowell. Nathan and Mary Sellers moved to Putnam Co., IN in
1830. In 1851, at the age of 23, he gave up farming in Indiana and
moved to
Monroe Co., IA where he began teaching school.
He also taught in a school at
Chariton, Lucas Co., IA, before returning to
farming in Monroe Co., IA. In
1873 he opened an insurance business in Oskaloosa. He founded the Iowa
Life
and Endowment Association in 1882.
He married Aby A. Read on December 29, 1853, location unknown but maybe
in
Albia, IA. Seven children:
Eva, m. Dr. L. H. Dowling of Albia, IA
James C., Jr.,
Fannie, died at 20 mo. of age.
Alice, became teacher in Ottumwa.
Lela, died at 18 mo. of age.

Subject: [IOWA] 1903 History of Lucas County
LUCAS COUNTY was created in January, 1846, and at that time embraced a
portion of Clarke County but in 1849 was reduced to its present limits.
It
lies in the second tier north of Missouri and midway between the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers and contains twelve townships embracing an area of four
hundred thirty-two square miles. The county was named for Robert Lucas
the
first Governor of the Territory of Iowa.
In 1846-7, the year of the Mormon exodus through Iowa, several
families
stopped at Chariton Point near the river of that name in Lucas County, where
they built cabins and remained several years. They were the first
white
settlers in the county. In September, 1847, William McDermott and
family
made a claim ten miles east of the Chariton River. In March, 1848,
Elijah
Baldwin and family settled west of McDermott's and in June, James Rolland
located south of them. Before the close of the year there were eight
families in the neighborhood. During the following year many families
made
homes in various parts of the county.
In August, 1849, an election was held and the following officers chosen:
William T. May, Jacob Phillips and J. G. Robinson, county
commissioners, who
preceeded to organize the county. In September, 1849, the
commissioners
chosen to locate the county-seat reported a site on the Chariton River which
they named Polk. The citizens of the county at a public meeting held
in
November changed the name to Chariton and a town was platted and a public
sale of lots ordered in December. In April, 1850, a contract was let
for the
building of a log courthouse in which the first term of court was held in
May, 1851, over which Judge McKay presided. A mill was built by Isaac
C.
Cain and Pleasant Williams on Whitebreast creek.
In the winter of 1852-3 Crawford
Sellers taught the first school in the court-house.
The first newspaper in the county was the Little Giant; established in
1856
by George M. Binckley. The Chariton Patriot was a weekly journal
started by
John Edwards in 1857. The Burlington Railroad runs through the county
from
east to west passing through the towns of Russell, Chariton and Lucas.

MRS. JANE RATCLIFFE died at her home
in Des Moines on Friday evening, April 21, 1905, after an extended illness with
creeping paralysis. Deceased was a
a former resident of Cedar Township, this county. The remains were brought to this place Saturday evening,
accompanied by her cousin, MRS. SALLIE SALES, and on Sunday forenoon at 10
o'clock funeral services were held at Bethel Church.
JANE SELLERS was born in Putnam
County, Indiana, on September 5, 1846.
Several years of her life were spent in this county and she was married
here on April 8, 1895, to JONATHAN RATCLIFFE, who survives her but is in a very
critical condition, suffering with a cancer. After her marriage deceased
resided in Garden Grove until about a year ago when she and her husband moved
to Des Moines where they could have better medical treatment. MRS. RATCLIFFE also leaves five
brothers and one sister to mourn her death. The sorrowing relatives have the sympathy of a host of
friends throughout the county in their great grief. Deceased was a lady possessing many amiable qualities and
her kindness of heart won for her the high regard of all with whom she came in
contact. The news of her death
brought sadness to the hearts of many friends here.
