Transcribed by Cay Merryman, Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago, 1901
BUFFINGTON, FRANCIS M.
Since 1854 [1855] this gentleman has been a resident of Mills
county and has therefore witnessed the greater part of its development from the
period when its wild lands were still in their primitive condition, many acres
being yet in the possession of the government. There came to the west men and
women of strong purpose to claim the rich gifts of nature and to aid in laying
the foundation for the present advancement in Mills and other counties of the
great western empire. The parents of our subject were among the number that
came with their families forty-six years ago [1855] and throughout the
intervening period Francis M. Buffington has been a representative of the
agricultural class. Splendid success has been achieved by him and today he is
the owner of one thousand acres of valuable land.
He was born March 12, 1835, in Meigs county, Ohio, a son of
Hezekiah and Elizabeth (Barringer) Buffington. The family is of English lineage
and was founded in America by three brothers [Thomas, Joel, William], who
located in Virginia, one of whom [Joel] was the great-grandfather of our
subject. The grandfather [Jacob] was born in the Old Dominion and married a
lady [Amelia Ann Milban Harvey] who was a native of Maryland. Hezekiah
Buffington, the father, was born in Ohio and in 1837 removed from the Buckeye state
to Adams county, Illinois, where he remained until 1854 [1855], when he came to
Mills county, Iowa, here spending his remaining days. His death occurred in
1864 [18 Feb 1865]. His wife was a native of Pennsylvania [Virginia] and died
in 1897.
Francis M. Buffington was the fourth in order of birth in their
family of ten children, seven of whom are yet living. He was but two years of
age [1837] when his parents left Ohio and was about twenty years of age [1855]
when they came to Iowa. After arriving at years of maturity he was married, on
the 16th of May, 1861, to Miss Sarah Byers, a daughter of William and Nancy
Byers, natives of Ohio, whence they came to Mills county in 1856. Six children
blessed the union of Mr. and [Mrs.] Buffington, but only two are now living:
Carrie, wife of Oliver Hammers, a resident of Center township, and Effie, the
wife of Richard Jackson, of Oak township, Mills county. Those who have passed
away are John, who died in February, 1898 [25 Feb 1899], at the age of
thirty-two; Jennie E., Francis M., and Clark.
Mr. Buffington is today the owner of one thousand acres of land
in Center and Oak townships, and also has other town property and other
interests, owning forty shares in the Mills County Bank. Industry and careful
management have been the salient points in his career and he has won his
success along the lines of the old-time trite maxims: "Honesty is the best
policy." and, "There is no excellence without labor." He votes
with the Republican party and is a public-spirited and progressive citizen and
gives hearty support and cooperation to all movements which he believes will
prove of public benefit.
Editor's Note: The
arrival date of the Buffington family is based on the 1856 Iowa State Census
stating that the family had live in Mills County one (1) year.

degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1890. After graduation he taught school for a
year before becoming a journalist and establishing the Mills County Tribune
with N.T. Bradway, In 1895 he became the sole owner.
On the 7th of January, 1890, he married Miss Jennie
Buffington, a member of an old and influential family in Mills County, but
their marriage was short as Mrs. Field died the following May.
He was defeated as a candidate for state senator on the
Democratic ticket from the largely Republican senatorial district composed of
Mills and Montgomery counties. He began business with no capital, but through
his paper and other investments he acquired seven farms totaling 1015 acres.
According to The History of Mills County, 1985, "Mr.
Field published all of the news he could find, including the filing of divorce
suits. In those days marriages were not dissolved unless there were adequate
grounds, such suits often made lurid charges. Sometimes the litigants were
offended by such publicity and for many years it was legendary that Editor
Field occasionally had to dodge dissatisfied parties, some of whom came after
him with a horse whip, a favorite non-lethal weapon of that day."

Buffington, E. H., farmer and stock raiser, P.O. Glenwood; was
born in Illinois in the year 1844 [1843]. In 1853 [1855] his parents came to
this county, and with the county young Buffington grew to man's estate. The
country was new and schools were scarce, hence the major part of his education
has been derived from experience. He was married in 1868 to Miss Mattie Frizzle
[sic], a native of Missouri, born in 1849. They are the parents of five
children: Eva E., Mary E., George W., Meda [sic] L. and Marion A. Mr. Buffington is of German and French
parentage. He has long been identified with the county and its interests; and
while public spirited has not neglected matters relating to private ends. He
owns a farm of 96 acres.
