MCCORMICK, W.H.--Farmer and stock-raiser, section 23, P.O. Montezuma. The subject of this sketch was born in Virginia, November 27, 1854. Came to Poweshiek county in 1855 with his father, A.J. McCormick, who located in Montezuma, where W.H. was raised and educated. Mr. McCormick is an industrious, persevering young man, and in this respect he is a facsmile of his father, who, being one of the pioneers, had all the difficulties of a farm-opener to contend with, but being a man of an iron constitution and indomitable will these obstacles soon sank into oblivion. Mr. McCormick's farm consists of 200 acres, well stocked. His son, W.H. lived with him. The McCormicks are numbered among the respected and successful farmers of Pleasant township.
