Paley, G. A., dealer in boots and shoes, was born in Columbus, Wisconsin, Sept. 22d, 1865, where he lived about two years. His parents then moved to Iowa, and stayed there until he was nine years old, when they moved to Shell Rock, Iowa. At the early age of twelve he began the trade of a shoemaker, and has continuously worked at it for the past twelve years. In February, 1887, he came to Spencer and opened a boot and shoe store, and has since conducted that line of trade. He is a thorough shoemaker, and excellent judge of leather, and carries a complete line of standard boots and shoes. His prices are low, and his goods warranted. He was married September 26th, 1888, to Miss May Sours, of Marble Rock.
