IAMS BROTHERS.
This popular firm, proprietors of the Metropolitan livery
stables, at Gibsonburg, Sandusky county, consists of Russell,
Frank and Jesse Iams. It is always pleasant
to record the history of a family in which a number of brothers,
having passed their boyhood happily together, arrive at manhood
with the same fraternal feelings and unite together in business
pursuits, and side by side fight the battle life. Their
histories up to date are very similar. They are all
natives of Sandusky county, born in Washington township.
Frank Iams was born Mar. 17, 1855.
His marriage to Miss Emma Saam took place in 1879, and
they have one child, Alice. Russell Iams was born
Feb. 18, 1859, and was married Feb. 5, 1889, to Miss Ellen
Lowe; they have one child, Myrtie. Jesse Iams,
born Jan. 15, 1861, married Sevilla Ernst, and they have
one child, J. Franklin. As has been said, the
earlier careers of these thrifty and "hustling" brothers run in
similar channels. All three grew up on the home farm, and
each received his education in the common schools, but being
endowed with the sterling qualities of integrity and
perseverance, supplemented with habits of industry from boyhood,
they have had the good fortune to see every enterprise in which
they have been engaged crowned with success. On leaving
the farm Messrs, Iams engaged in the livery
business under the firm name of Iams Brothers, and
are recognized as leaders in the business circles of Gibsonburg.
They are stanch Republicans, and are ever ready to assist in
anything which has for its object the welfare of the community.
The parents of the Iams Brothers,
JASPER and Mary Ann (Mooney) Iams,
were both born in Pennsylvania, and came to Ohio when quite
young. They grew up and were married in Washington
township, Sandusky county, where the father carried on farming,
and died there when about seventy-one years old. He was a
Republican, and served as a one-hundred-days man during the
Civil war. The mother, now seventy-two years old resides
in Gibsonburg. Besides the three sons mentioned their
family comprised the following children: Harriet, who
married William Fought, and lives in Gibsonburg;
Elizabeth, wife of Frank Fought, residing
in Fremont; John, a farmer in Madison township; Mary,
deceased wife of John Barman; Minerva, who
married Amos Harley; Sarah, who married
George Naas; Marcella, who married George
Williamson, and Eltie, who married John
Valance.
