JOSEPH T. McLOUGHLIN.

Perhaps no man ever lived in the county who was better known than Mr. Mc. He was early and for years closely connected and associated with the best interests of the county, in fact, as long as he lived here. He first settled in Jamestown, where he remained a term of years, perhaps until he was elected County Treasurer, which was in the year 1845, and he was the first person that was chosen by the people to that office. He was born about the year 1806, in the State of Ohio, and in the year 1828 was married to Miss Vidito. About the year 1863, he moved to Iowa, where at latest accounts he was living, at the age of 81 years. He was a Democrat of the Jacksonian style, and in person he was low, heavy-set man; fair complexion. In his make-up he was social, loved his friends, who were legion in Boone County, where his best days were spent. We hope he will live to read the “Early Life and Times in Boone County,” and overlook this poor sketch of one so worthy.
