January 20, 1966, a caravan of seventeen pickups traveled through Paullina carrying the personal property of the Henry Vander Ploeg family. They had rented the farm two and one-fourth miles south owned by Don and Jim Kiser.

finish and then plans to teach. After the children were all in school, their mother returned to

received the advantages of the Iowa public schools. Mr. and Mrs. Pickett have no children. '!'hey are ze~lous and love~ me~bers of ~he Methodist Episcopal Church m their home City, of which he is a trustee, and it is to be recorded also that he gave thirty-four years of faithful service as a teacher in the Sunday School. In the state in which they have lived and wrought to goodly ends Mr. and Mrs: Pickett may truthfully be said to have a circle of friends that is limited only by that of their acquaintances.

JACOB VAN ZWOL. Perhaps in no avenue of life's activities do men become so widely known as in the field of journalism, not always as personalities but as influences, their printeal. thoughts reaching the multitudes while their sp.sken ones could be heard probably only by a score. Hence the responsibility of the journalist is ef exceeding weight, and there have been times when a newspaper has forced reformatory legis~ation and even changed public polity and politics. This influence, perhaps, is felt just as keemly in the smaller communities as it is in the biig centers of population, and it is in this connection that more than passing mention is due Jacob Van j)ol, who, like many of his contempor.ary jour-

( ts, graduated from the humble position of \ ter's "devil" to the ownership of a modern

weekly newspaper, the' Paullina Times, a publication which has a large circulation in O'Brien County.

Mr. Van Zwol was born at Le Mars, the .county seat of Plymouth Count~', Iowa, in 1893, .and is a son of Albert and Henrietta (Brons) Van Zwol, natives of the Nether lands. His parents were reared and educated in their native land, aud not long after their marriage immigrated to the United States, eventually settling at Le Mars, ~her~ ~he father was for many years engaged m milling. He is ndw one of the substantial retired citizens of Sheldon this state where he is held in high esteem by hi~ fellow-to~nsmen. He and his wife are consistent members of the Christian Reformed Church, and Mr. Van Zwol has always been a supporter of the Republican party, although never a seeker after public office.

Jacob Van Zwol attended the public schools of Le Mars, where he obtained the rudiments of a sound educational training but at the age of twelve. years found it necess~ry to seek employren~ In order to assist in the support of the . am!ly, and accordingly became printer's "devil" t the office ?f the Le Mars ,Sentinel. This he oun~ co.ngemal work, and while engaged in his

. multrtudmous humble ·tasks found time to pick ~~ th~ art of. setting type at the case, eventually

co1mmg a JOurneyman printer. He was thus emp oyed at Le Mars and Sheldon Iowa and ~hedn he had saved sufficient means t~ok ov~r the

oy ~n (Iowa) Reporter, of which he was the ~t~Prietor. for twelve years. Selling out his h rests, m March, 1928, Mr. Van Zwol pur-oc a~f the Pa~llina Times,. at Paullina, O'Brien

y, of Which he has since been the owner,

t'ditor and publisher. Through industry, good judgment and real journalistic ability he has made this one of the leading country newspapers of the county, and now has a substantial circulation and good advertising support. Mr. Van Zwol issues a clean, reliable, well-edited and wellprinted weekly, and furnishes to his readers the latest national and state news, local happenings and brevities, timely editorials, features, etc., and his subscription list has shown a gratifyingly consistent gain. He has a modernly-equpped plant on Main Street, where he also has all of the appliances and appurtenances necessary for the accomplishment of high-grade job work, of which he gets a full share from the merchants of this thriving and progressive little city. He has at all times kept his columns open to articles supporting movements for the development of the community, county and state, and as a man of foresight and enlightened views his editorial opinions carry much weight. Mr. Van Zwol has not sought public office of any kind, but is a supporter of the Republican party personally, although he endeavors not to allow any personal feeling to enter into the presentation of matter affecting political questions. He is a Presbyterian jn his religious faith and a supporter of the movements and charities of that denomina-. tion at Paullina.

Mr. Van Zwol married Miss Mabel Hinksen, a native of Stuart, Iowa, and a member of the Polly Welton Chapter, D. A. R., and active in various local organizations. They are the parents of two daughters: Elizabeth Helen, born June 17, 1915, is in the class of 1932 at Paullina High School, and Eunice Margaret, born November 28, 1918, is a member of the class of 1934 at Paullina High School.

FRANK E. SAMPSON, M. D., who has been long and prominently engaged in the practice of his profession at Creston, judicial cente:.· of Union County, and who now gives virtually exclusive attention to surgery, has made a record of noteworthy achievement in his chosen field of endeavor and especially in connection with the establishing of the admirable community hospital in his home city.

Doctor Sampson is a native son of the Hawkeye State and a scion of one of its sterling pioneer families. He was born at Middle River, Madison County, Iowa, June 3, 1866, and is a son of Carl and Sarah (Bunce) Sampson, the former of whom was born in the State of New York and the latter in Missouri, but their marriage having been solemnized in Iowa. Carl Sampson was a young man when he came to this state and gained pioneer prestige in Madison County, whence he later removed to Adair County, where he was engaged in the mercantile business at Greenfield a number of years, his death having occurred in 1891 and his widow being now a resident of Red Oak, Montgomery County, where she is a revered pioneer woman of eighty-four years (1929).
