BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF BROOKFIELD TWP.

From the book "The History of Clinton County Iowa" by L. P. Allen (1879)

C. A. BEARD, of the firm of Beard & Clark, proprietors of creamery, grain and stock-dealers, Elwood; was born in Jackson Co., Iowa, 1852; married, Oct. 23, 1878, Miss Rose, daughter of Richard and Mary A. Elwood, early settlers of Jackson Co. Messrs. Beard & Clark established their creamery in April, 1879, and have furnished it with all the latest improvements and appliances for the manufacture of butter of the best grade. Integrity, energy and perseverance will accomplish wonders. This is exemplified in a marked degree in the standing and
personal degree of confidence attained by the firm of Beard & Clark.
