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

RAYMOND, E.P.—Malcom Twp—pg 872. Cashier, section 15, P.O. Malcom. Was born in Vermont, April 19, 1852, and came with his parents to this county when about three years of age, his father being among the first settlers of the county. Our subject was a pupil in the first school that was taught in this part of the county, laying the foundation of an education which he subsequently finished at the Lowell Commercial College, Lowell, Massachusetts. In 1874 he became the cashier of the Malcom Bank, which position he still occupies; but the greater part of his time is taken up in the management of a large farm, being quite extensively engaged in stock-raising. He was married, October 20, 1875, to Miss Elizabeth Ready, by whom he has one child. Mr. R. is a gentleman in every sense, well deserving the confidence and esteem so generally given him.
