William D. London
Aug 31, 1861 - Mar 20, 1938

(From the 1891 Biographical History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa, p.370)
THE LONDON BROS. (E.T. and W. D.) are the proprietors of the London Livery, Sale and Feed Stables of Carson, on Commercial Street, convenient to both the business part of town and the depot. They purchased this establishment in 1888, and keep in stock a goodly number of driving horses, roadsters and all kinds of vehicles for which there is any demand. They are experienced and practical livery men and are popular. Their barn is the leading one in the town. They came to Pottawattamie County in 1884.
W. D. LONDON, the junior member of the above firm and a brother of J. C., was born August 31, 1862, in Marion County, Iowa, and was reared there on a farm. In 1876, he went to Kansas, and a year afterward to Missouri, where he resided until he came to Carson; and there he has since been engaged in the livery business. He was married in Johnson County, Missouri, January 10, 1884, to Miss Sallie DOUTHIT, a native of that county and a daughter of George DOUTHIT. Their children are Goldie and Eula. Mr. LONDON is a Democrat in his political principles and a genial citizen.
