(From the 1883 History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa, by J. H. Keatley, p.35, Council Bluffs)
S. H. Kelley, druggist, Council Bluffs, was born in Cedarville, Herkimer Co., N. Y., in 1819; his father moved to Otsego County, N. Y., in 1827; our subject came to Council Bluffs in 1857, and engaged in the drug business, in which he remained until 1862, when he sold his interest to his partner, Mr. Kynett, and took a trip for his health; he went to Syracuse, N. Y., where he finally opened a drug store; he remained here until the spring of 1880, at which time he returned to Council Bluffs, where he again opened out in the drug business; this time on Lower Main street. He carries about $6,000 in stock, with annual sales amounting to $10,000.
