In Christianastad, in the southern part of Sweden, the birth of John F. Rosenfield occurred on the 29th of August, 1855, and he is a son of Lars and Hannah T. (Mattson) Rosenfield. He was the fourth in order of birth in a family of seven children, and concerning the others the following brief data are available: Nels is a resident of the City of Chicago; Andrew maintains his residence in North Carolina; Mary died at the age of thirty-two years; Edwin resides in Chicago, Johanna, in Florida, and Charles, in Chicago. Lars Rosenfield was associated with floriculture in his native land until 1869, when he came with his family to the United States and established the home in Chicago. There he found employment with a landscape gardener named Nelson, and he and his wife continued their residence in Chicago during the remainder of their lives.

John F. Rosenfield received his earlier education in the schools of his native land and was a youth of fourteen years when he accompanied his parents to the United States. Here he profited by the advantages of the Chicago public schools, and later he attended a business college in that city. In 1882 he gained pioneer prestige in the State of Nebraska, by establishing his residence at Westpoint, Cuming County. In 1884 he initiated the development of his peony gardens in that locality, and in the passing years he became one of the foremost and most successful of the nation's peony growers, his large and well ordered propagating gardens having produced many original and splendid varieties and his products having been shipped to all parts of the United States. In Nebraska he gained his reputation as one of the most extensive peony growers of the nation and his well earned title of "Peony King." Upon establishing his residence in Cuming County he there made a cash purchase of a tract of 160 acres, for which he paid $2,000, and there he developed one of the fine farms and floriculture gardens of the West. In 1910 Mr. Rosenfield sold this place and purchased twenty-five acres near the City of Omaha, on the Lincoln Highway, and there he developed peony gardens that became the showplace of this kind of the entire country. There he continued his successful business until 1917, when he made advantageous sale of the property and enterprise, and at the time he removed from the place 50,000 peony bulbs, the most of which he gave to members of his family for propagating purposes. In 1918 Mr. Rosenfield established his home in the Indianapolis metropolitan area. Here he has continued on a somewhat minor scale his propagation of fine peonies, and his is one of the beautiful suburban homes of the capital city district.

The political allegiance of Mr. Rosenfield is given to the Republican party, and while a resident of Cuming County, Nebraska, he served as county clerk and also as a member of the school board. He and his family have held the faith of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

The year 1879 recorded the marriage of Mr. Rosenfield to Miss Camilla Roos, who was born in Minnesota and whose death occurred at the home near Omaha, Nebraska. The children of this union were as follows: Camilla (deceased), Reno, Arnold (deceased), Myrtle (deceased), Karl, Stanley, Stella (deceased) and Viola. Representatives of the Rosenfield family have been and continue leading exponents of floriculture in various sections of the United States, and the name continues one of the foremost in connection with the development and propagation of modern peonies of the finest types.

In September, 1929, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Rosenfield to Mrs. Josephine (Givan) Murphy, widow of Frank Murphy and daughter of the late James and Beth (Weaver) Givan, her father having been long identified with railroad service and having been a resident of Indianapolis at the time of his death. By her first marriage Mrs. Rosenfield has one child, Dovita, who is now the wife of Leonard Klein.

GEORGE A. COBLE, M. D. More than passing interest attaches to the career and prestige of Doctor Coble in his professional activities in Marion County, for he is to be claimed as one of the native sons of this county and has here found ample opportunity for earnest and successful service in the exacting profession in which he has long held rank as one of the able and representative physicians and surgeons of this section of Indiana.

Doctor Coble, whose residence and professional headquarters are maintained at New Augusta, was born on a farm in Pike Township, Marion County, not far distant from his present home town, and the date of his nativity was August 28, 1861. He is a son of the late Jeremiah and Susanna (Pitts) Coble, and is a scion of one of the sterling and honored pioneer families of Marion County; the old homestead on which he was born having likewise been that of his father, who was there born in the year 1834 and who there continued to maintain his home until his death, in 1916. Jeremiah Coble was reared under the conditions and influences of the pioneer days, early began to assist in the varied activities of the home farm, and virtually his entire active career was one of close association with the basic industries of agriculture and stock growing, the while he staged his enterprise on the fine old farmstead that had been the place of his birth and that was maintained by him upon a high standard of productiveness. He stood exponent of earnest and worthy citizenship throughout the course of his long and useful life, took loyal interest in communal affairs and gave effective service as trustee of his township. The mortal remains of Jeremiah Coble and his wife rest in the Lutheran Cemetery in their old home township. Their children were five in number, namely: Laura, Dr. George A., Margaret (deceased), Clara B. and Frederick W. (deceased).

Doctor Coble is a grandson of George and Sarah (Ingold) Coble, who were the founders of the family in Marion County, George Coble having been born in the year 1794 and having come with his family from North Carolina to Indiana in 1829, to become one of the pioneers who contributed worthily to the civic and industrial development and progress of Marion County, where he reclaimed a productive farm from the forest wilds and where he and his wife passed the remainder of their lives, their children having been eight in number, namely: Samuel, Barbara, Sarah, Jane, Mary, Leah, Jeremiah and Elizabeth. George Coble was born and reared in North Carolina, as was also his father, Philip Coble, and the original American representative of the name came from Germany to this country in the early Colonial period of the nation's history. In Marion County, Indiana, George Coble purchased Government land and developed the same into one of the excellent pioneer farms of the county - the old homestead that was later to figure as the birthplace of Doctor Coble of this review.

Sturdy and invigorating were the influences that compassed Dr. George A. Coble during the period of his childhood and early youth, for he was reared on the old home farm and as a boy began to contribute his quota to its work, the while he profited by the advantages offered in the little frame schoolhouse of the district, this having been the Center School of Pike Township. Thereafter he continued his studies in the graded school at New Augusta until he had completed the work of the eighth grade. Thereafter he prosecuted advanced academic studies at Zionsville, Boone County, and in Butler College, Indianapolis.

In preparation for his chosen profession Doctor Coble entered, at Indianapolis, the medical college that now constitutes the medical department of the University of Indiana, and in this well ordered institution he was graduated as a member of the class of 1882. After thus receiving his degree of Doctor of Medicine he was in service one year in the Indianapolis City Dispensary, and during the ensuing year he was engaged in the general practice of his profession at Whitestown, Boone County. He then, on the 1st of January, 1884, returned to his native county, where he has since continued in active practice at New Augusta. The Doctor has thus continued his service in this community forty years, and he has made those years count much in his faithful and efficient work as a physician and surgeon who has maintained the prescribed professional ethics and shown the fidelity and ability that ever mark the physician and surgeon who has appreciation of the responsibilities and communal value of his professional ministrations. His has been inviolable place in the confidence and high regard of the people of his native county, his has been a loyal and helpful interest in all that touches the welfare and advancement of that county, and he is now one of the veteran and honored physicians and surgeons of this favored part of his native state. Doctor Coble has continued a close student of his profession and has thus kept in touch with the advances made in medical and surgical science within the long years of his active practice. He is one of the honored and influential members of the Marion County Medical Society, and has membership also in the Indiana State Medical Society and the American Medical Association.

Doctor Coble has not sought or desired the honors of political office, but has given loyal support to the cause of the Democratic party. He is affiliated with the Masonic fraternity and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and he has been an active communicant of and earnest worker in the Lutheran Church fully fifty-five years, during forty-two of which he has served as an elder and a member of the church council.

In the year 1886 was solemnized the marriage of Doctor Coble to Miss Florence H. Trout, daughter of W. W. and Amelia (Neese) Trout, and their devoted companionship, covering a period of more than forty years, was severed by the death of Mrs. Coble, who passed away March 25, 1929, and whose memory is revered by all who came within the compass of her gracious influence, she having been active in the social life of her home community and as an earnest member of the local Lutheran Church. Of the two children who survive the loved mother the elder is Miss Stella, who is the efficient and popular assistant cashier of the New Augusta Bank, and the younger of the children is George F., who resides at Aurora, Illinois, where he is in the service of a gas company, he having been in active military service in the World war period. George F. Coble married Miss Elizabeth Schmidt, and they have a daughter, Elizabeth S.

PETER J. TEAL has passed the psalmist's span of three score years and ten and now ranks as one of the venerable native sons still resident of the Oaklandon district of Marion County, even as he is a son of a family that was founded in Indiana more than a century ago. Mr. Teal, who holds the office of justice of the peace at Oakland on, in Lawrence Township, and who is one of the honored and influential citizens of the community, was born on the old home farm near Oaklandon and the date of his nativity was February 17, 1853. He is a son of George W. and Elmyra (Emery) Teal and is a grandson of Jacob and Catherine (Apple) Teal. After the death of her first husband Mrs. Catherine (Apple) Teal came to Indiana, accompanied by her children, and she became one of the very early settlers of Clinton County, where she established the family home about the year 1814. In this state she eventually contracted a second marriage, the name of her second husband having been Daniel Bolander.

George W. Teal accompanied his mother on her removal from Clinton County to Marion County, and he became one of the substantial farmers of the Oaklandon district of Lawrence Township, where he and his wife lived and wrought to worthy ends and where both continued to reside until their death, their children having been three in number: Peter J., who is the immediate subject of this review; John W., who likewise continues a resident of Marion County; and Benjamin F., who is deceased.

Peter J. Teal was born on the old Emery farm, later known as the Joseph Klepfer farm, and was a child of about one year at the time of the family removal to Oaklandon, where he received his youthful education by duly profiting by the advantages of the public schools of the period. He advanced his education thereafter by attending the public schools of the City of Logansport, where he proved a remarkably diligent and receptive student and gained a record of 100 percent in all grades.

After completing his school work Mr. Teal returned to Oaklandon, where he was employed two years in a general store. He later followed various occupations in the community, and even as a young man he became actively interested in and associated with local politics. He was finally appointed by the board of county commissioners to fill out an unexpired term in the office of justice of the peace in Lawrence Township, and as a county official he has continuously remained under bond during a period of fully half a century.

The political allegiance of Mr. Teal is given to the Republican party, he and his wife are zealous members of the Universalist Church, he is a valued member of the Community Club at Oaklandon, and is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and with the Improved Order of Red Men. His prolonged administration in the office of justice of the peace has been characterized by loyalty, fidelity and efficiency, and his rulings have shown that he has a fine sense of the principles of equity and justice, as well as an accurate knowledge of the points of law involved.

The marriage of Mr. Teal occurred April 21, 1876, when Miss Levina E. Todd became his wife, she being a daughter of John and Catherine (Sigman) Todd. The children of this union were seven in number: Earl, who married Miss Emma Snider; Flora, who became the wife of Thomas Welchel and who is now deceased, her one surviving child being a son, Dewey; Cora and Grover are deceased; Orda is the wife of Forrest Mollenkopf; Alice is the wife of Guy Peters, and they have two children, Nadine and Luana; and John, youngest of the children, is deceased. Mr. Teal has resided in the same house since 1876. It was here he started housekeeping after his marriage, and here all his children were born and raised.

GEORGE B. SAYLOR did not waste time in protests and complaints concerning conditions and circumstances during his long and active association with farm industry, and that he made that industry a medium for the achievement of substantial financial success is indicated significantly in his being now the president of the Citizens Bank at Southport, one of the thriving and attractive villages of Marion County. He has secure status as one of the substantial and honored citizens of this village and is one of .its representative retired farmers.

Mr. Saylor is able to claim the old Keystone State as the place of his nativity, as he was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, February 26, 1851. He is a son of Emanuel and Susanna (Brubaker) Saylor, both of whom were born in Pennsylvania, where they passed their entire lives and where their mortal remains rest in a cemetery about four miles east of the City of Lancaster, their children having been five in number: Harry (deceased), Annie, George B., Frank (deceased) and William. Emanuel Saylor was born and reared in Lancaster County, there became a prosperous exponent of farm enterprise, and there continued to maintain his home until his death. He was a member of the Mennonite Church and his wife held membership in the Lutheran Church. His parents were Christian and Elizabeth (Weaver) Saylor, the former of whom was a boy when he accompanied his parents, natives of England, on their removal from Canada to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Susanna (Brubaker) Saylor was a representative of a sterling family that was founded in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in the Colonial period of American history.

George B. Saylor was reared to the sturdy discipline of the old home farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and his youthful education was there obtained in the public schools of the period. In 1871 he arrived in Indianapolis, Indiana, in search of a field for independent enterprise in which he might win prosperity through individual effort, his cash capital at the time of his arrival having been represented in the sum of twenty dollars. He found a room is his original habitation in the capital city and soon found employment as a laborer. He finally obtained employment at a wage of twenty dollars a month and board, and he was thus engaged two years. He then found employment on the farm estate of the Orme family, where he was enabled to work on shares, and his next progressive step was made when he rented the Norwood farm in Marion County, upon which he continued to stage his productive activities five years. About the year 1885 he made his first purchase of land, by obtaining forty acres in Perry Township. He continued to operate also on additional land, which he rented for this purpose, and after purchasing an additional area of eighty acres, at Stop 11, he finally, a year later, erected on this tract a new house, this having long continued the home of the family and being situated ten miles south of Indianapolis. Upon removing to this farm Mr. Saylor ceased to rent farm land, but with increasing prosperity he purchased additional farms, two of which he sold after the close of the World war. He still owns two well improved farms, with an aggregate area of about 135 acres, and is also the owner of his attractive home residence property at Southport, where he is now living virtually retired, though he still gives a general supervision to his farm property and also finds demand upon his time in the discharging of his executive functions as president of the Citizens Bank at Southport. Of this institution, the Citizens Bank, he was one of the organizers, and he has been its president from the time of its inception. His careful administrative policies have done so much to make this bank one of the substantial and useful financial institutions of Marion County.

Well fortified in his convictions concerning governmental and economic affairs, Mr. Saylor is found loyally arrayed in the ranks of the Republican party, and he takes much interest in all that touches the welfare of his home community, county and state. Mr. Saylor was a valued member of the board of trustees of the town of Southport and of the township advisory board, and he has been a member of the Horse Thief Detective Association of his township fully fifty years. He is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of which he is one of the oldest in point of membership in his lodge, having been a member for over fifty years. He attends and gives liberal support to the Methodist Episcopal Church, while his wife is a member of the Presbyterian Church, in their home village of Southport.

The year 1877 was marked by the marriage of Mr. Saylor to Miss Laura A. Todd, daughter of the late Benjamin Todd, and of the two children of this union the elder is Susie, who is the wife of Howard Sloan and the mother of two children, Howard, Jr., and Louisa. George A., younger of the two children, married Miss Ethel Dwinnell, and they reside in the City of Chicago, Illinois, where he is general sales manager for the great Colt Arms Company.

CHARLES HENRY MALONEY. The contracting interests of a section of country are exceedingly important and their healthy growth an indication of public prosperity. Directly connected with this growth are the men whose knowledge, judgment, foresight and energy are necessary in the organization and maintenance of these enterprises. Capital with no wise directing hand would be useless, and the results of unregulated effort would be unsubstantial. Charles H. Maloney, of the firm bearing his name, has won his way, step by step, to his present position as one of the leading plumbing contractors of the state through industry, natural adaptability and persevering effort, and has contributed materially to the building up and development of the thriving industrial City of Gary.

Mr. Maloney was born April 18, 1871, at Detroit, Michigan, and is a son of John and Margaret (O’Rafferty) Maloney. John Maloney was born at Halifax, Nova Scotia, and when four years of age was taken by his parents to Detroit, Michigan, at that time little more than a trading post, where he heard as a child the howling of the wolves in the surrounding forests. Not long afterward the family moved back to Halifax, where the youth secured a common school education, subsequently going to Boston, Massachusetts, and then to near Amesburg, Ontario, Canada. Eventually John Maloney again went to Detroit, where he was engaged in the timber business, but left this line to enter the employ of the Peninsular Stove Company, and when a new branch of that business was established at Aurora, Illinois, he went there as paymaster. He held this position from 1890 until 1901, moving then to Elkhart, Indiana, where he resided until his death, December 3, 1903, burial being made at Aurora, Illinois. Mr. Maloney married Margaret O'Rafferty, who was born in County Armagh, Ireland, and came to America as a child with her parents in 1846, receiving her education at Saint Anne's School Detroit.

Later he closed the business at Goshen and continued his activities at Elkhart until 1907, when he came to Gary and established his present business as a plumbing contractor. He has continued in the same line to the present and now has a large and lucrative patronage, with commodious offices at 548 Washington Street, Gary, and giving employment to from thirty- five to forty men on an average. He is also a member of the board of directors of the Mid-City Building & Loan Association and has a number of other interests.

He is also a member of the board of directors of the Washington Street Improvement Association. Politically he is a stanch Republican and has been very active in the ranks of his party and in civic affairs. His religious connection is with Holy Angels Catholic Church.

At Petoskey, Michigan, October 30, 1894, Mr. Maloney was united in marriage with Miss Jennie M. Kirven, daughter of William and Sarah (Bradley) Kirven, of Jackson, Michigan, the former of whom was for years a stone mason and contractor, until his death in 1882. His widow survived him until 1919, and both are buried at Jackson. Mrs. Maloney was educated at Saint John's parochial school, Jackson, and is active in the work of Holy Angels Catholic Church.
