NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME II 1804-1926 J. W. SCHUNCK One of the most important concerns in Sioux City is the Hanford Produce Company, which from a small beginning, less than forty years ago, has grown to be the largest single manufacturing plant of creamery butter in the world, its output for 1925 having been over nineteen million pounds. It has a large and steadily increasing ice cream department, covering a broad surrounding territory. The company buys eggs, poultry and cream, through six hundred stations scattered over four states, and buys direct, paying millions of dollars annually to the farmers for their products. They also have one of the most modern poultry feeding and dressing departments in the west, with a daily feeding capacity of thirty thousand chickens, and also maintain their own ice-making plant and their own power and retinning plants, while the purest of water flows from their own wells. Over four hundred persons are employed in this great plant, which is one of the showplaces of Sioux City. To a very great measure the splendid growth and prosperity which the Hanford Company is enjoying is due to the sound judgment and careful direction of its manager, John W. Schunck, to a brief review of whose life the following lines are devoted. Mr. Schunck was born in Sioux City, June 18, 1882, and is a son of John H. and Louise (Forstner) Schunck, natives of Germany, who came to the United States in 1880 in their youth. The father located in New York city, where for a number of years he was traveling salesman for a butcher supply house. Later he worked out of Sandusky, Ohio, and eventually out of Dubuque, Iowa, where his marriage occurred. In 1880 he came to Sioux City, entering the employ of the Booge Packing Company, the pioneer packing house of Sioux City, in which he had charge of the sausage department. In later years he engaged in the retail meat business here, in association with Charles Ibs, John Tucker and John Geiser. He died in 1903 and his widow survived him a number of years, passing away in 1917. John W. Schunck was educated was educated in the German Lutheran parochial school and the Webster public school of Sioux City. On April 1, 1895, in his thirteenth year, he entered the employ of the Hanford Produce Company as office boy and has remained with that company continuously since, rising step by step through the various positions, serving in practically every capacity in the plant until about fourteen years ago, when his efficiency and faithfulness were recognized in his election to the position of general manager of the business. He has devoted himself indefatigably to his duties and has eminently proven the right man in the right place. In October, 1903, Mr. Schunck was united in marriage to Miss Lena C. Holdenried, of Sioux City, a daughter of John Holdenried, one of Sioux City's early pioneers. To Mr. and Mrs. Schunck has been born a son, Arthur H., who is a senior in Culver Military Academy, Indiana. Mr. Schunck is a member of Landmark Lodge, No. 103, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons; Sioux City Consistory, No. 5, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite; Abu-Bekr Temple, Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine; Sioux City Lodge, No. 112, Benevolent Protective Order of Elks; and Columbian Lodge, No. 13, Knights of Pythias. He also belongs to the Chamber of Commerce, the Sioux City County Club and to Trinity Lutheran church and is a member of its board of trustees. Mr. Schunck has just reason to be proud of the splendid record he has made since entering the hanford Produce Company, for he has been a potent force in its growth and success, a fact which is generally recognized by all who are familiar with the splendid history of this great establishment. Because of his ability, his sterling character and his fine personality, Mr. Schunck enjoys the confidence and esteem of all who know him.

NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME II 1804-1926 A. G. SAM Among the men who are conserving the commercial and financial welfare of Sioux City, and who are contributing in a very definite measure to the community's prosperity and advancement, stands Adolph Godfred Sam, president of the Live Stock Bank and treasurer of the Sioux City Stock Yards Company. A native of Norway, he was born on the 14th of October, 1882, and is a son of Andrew and Ann Gertrude Sam. The family came to the United States in 1883, first locating in La Crosse, Wisconsin, where the father engaged in the building and contracting business, in which he continued actively until 1916, when he moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he passed away February 1, 1926, at the age of eighty-nine years. Adolph G. Sam received his educational training in the public schools of La Crosse, Wisconsin, and at the age of seventeen years he went to Chicago and soon thereafter began his identification with the banking business, his first position being with John R. Walsh, of the Chicago National Bank, with which institution he remained until December, 1906. He then went to Minneapolis and entered the First National Bank, where he remained five years, when he was appointed a clearing house bank examiner, in which capacity he served five years. He then accepted the position of cashier of the Stock Yards National Bank of South St. Paul, of which he later became vice-president. In 1919 he came to Sioux City to take charge of the Live Stock Bank, of which he is still serving as president and which has made an enviable record under his management, being one of the strong and influential financial institutions of this city. On August 24, 1910, Mr. Sam was united in marriage to Miss Ada Salveson, of Minneapolis, Minnesota. His is a member of Braden Lodge, No. 168, A. F. and A.

NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME II 1804-1926 R. V. SAGER Possessing an analytical, well trained mind and the capacity for hard work, Ray V. Sager has steadily progressed in a most exacting profession and now occupies an enviable position at the bar of Sioux City. He was born October 19, 1884, in Plymouth county, Iowa, and comes of distinguished ancestry, being a direct descendant of Presidents William H. and Benjamin Harrison and also of Benjamin Harrison, of New York, who was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He is a son of Perry and Stella (Parker) Sagerm the former a native of Michigan and the latter of Virginia. The father came to Iowa when about eighteen years of age and for many years engaged in farming in Plymouth county. Through intelligently directed industry he accumulated a substantial competence and since 1908 has lived retired in Sioux City. Ray V. Sager was a pupil in rural schools of Phymouth county and attended the public schools of Sioux City, Iowa, where he afterward studied law. He completed a course in the law department of the Stare University at Iowa City and since July 1, 1910, has practiced continuously in Sioux City. He has a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles of jurisprudence and correctly applies his knowledge to the points in litigation. He has built up a remunerative clientele and in argument is logical and convincing, winning a large percentage of his cases. Mr. Sager is a bachelor and resides in the family home at No. 1622 West Fifteenth street. In 1914 he was a stamp deputy in the internal revenue department of the United States and is now a member of the civil service commission of Sioux City. During the World war he was one of the four minute speakers and also served on the local registration board. He is a Mason, belonging to Tyrain Lodge, No. 508, F. & A. M., and something of the nature of his recreation is indicated by his connection with the Riverside Boat Club. He is affiliated with the Unitarian church and acts as chairman of its board of trustees. Mr. Sager maintains an independent attitude in politics, placing the qualifications of a candidate above the narrow bounds of partisanship, and he is broadminded and liberal in his ideas on all subjects. He is a member of the Sioux City Bar Association and a worthy exponent of his profession.

NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME II 1804-1926 W. E. ROSE Among the sturdy pioneers to whom Cherokee county is indebted for the development of its agricultural resources none is better known or more highly esteemed than William E. Rose, whose residence is this district covers a period of fifty-six years. He was born May 25, 1843, in Portville, New York, and his parents, Abel B. and Jeannette (Wood) Rose, were lifelong residents of that state. In their family were two sons, Henry A. and William E. Mr. Rose was reared and educated in the Empire state and in 1863 enlisted in the Union army, becoming a member of the Fifteenth New York Cavalry, with which he served until honorably discharged on June 15, 1865. He then started for the west, spending a year at Black River Falls, Wisconsin, and afterward paid a short visit to his old home. On May 16, 1869, Mr. Rose settled in Cherokee county, which at that time was largely a wilderness, and turned his attention to the cultivation of the soil. Through arduous labor he cleared the land and as the years passed brought it to a high state of productivity, enhancing its fertility by the rotation of crops and the application of scientific principles to his agricultural operations. He is now the owner of two hundred acres of valuable farm land in this township but since 1908 has lived retired in Marcus, spending his declining years in ease and comfort. He built a substantial residence, supplied with all modern conveniences, and the family home has been the scene of many enjoyable social gatherings. In November, 1870, Mr. Rose was united in marriage to Emma Glines. He belongs to the local post of the Grand Army of the Republic and is a Christian Scientist in religious faith. He is an adherent of the democratic party and was formerly active in public affairs, serving as town clerk and as a member of the school board. As a young man he taught school in Marcus for six months and has always been deeply interested in educational matters. Mr. Rose has been temperate in all things and is well preserved, having an alert mind and a good constitution. He has faithfully discharged life's duties and obligations and his reward is the respect and good will of his fellowmen.
