R. J. Ackley was born in Otsego County, New York, in 1835. He was the sixth
child of James and Nancy Ackley. When Mr Ackley came to Iowa he Was twenty years

He spent the summer of 1855 traveling in Minnesota looking at the country; afterward

In 1870 he went into the hotel business and ran the Marble Rock Hotel nearly

The year following he resumed farming, at the expiration of which time he assumed
