The History of Poweshiek County, Iowa
Des Moines: Union Hist. Co., 1880.

TEMPLETON, J.S.—Malcom Twp—pg 877. Farmer and stock-raiser, section 29, P.O. Malcom. Born in Belmont, Ohio, in 1851. Moved to Bureau county, Illinois, when about nine years of age, where he was educated and raised to manhood. Was married, in 1875, to Miss Rachel Treabry, of Illinois. He moved to this county in 1879, and located on the farm where he now resides, which consists of 200 acres, he having been cultivating it with a considerable degree of success, as everything about the place looks thrifty and promising. He has recently drifted into stock-raising, and has large herds of cattle. Mr. Templeton is virtually the architect of his own fortune, as he started in life in meager circumstances, and what he has accumulated has been by industry and economy.
