MAKCU5 C. WOODRUFF,

DUBU!!lUB.

J OURNALlSlI-:, I"'ng followed, is I liberal education. The biographical history of this country

abounds in instances of men who, educated at the printer'S cue, or editor's desk, or both, have thu s found the stepping-stones to eminence. A list of the names only of th is class would make II. portly volume. A.nong the rising men of Iowa, in middle lire, largely self_taught, and o"'i l1g nUll·h in this respect to journ,l,listic pursuits, is Marcus C. Wllod _ ruff, whose modesty shrank from appearing in a work like this, but whose habits of industry, great improvement in wril ing, and noble bearing, al the head uf one of the leading daily journals of Iowa, embody a lenon worlh perpetualing.

Mr. Woodruff was born at Aurora, Erie · county, New .York, on the 21st of March, 18JI. He recei~ed the rudiments of education at the common school of his native villa!:e, and for I short time he attended the Aurora A,;ademy, a respectable in~ti_

tution o( its class thirty yeau ago. At the age of eighteen he taught school one season in his native town, and then went to Buffalo and spent three or four years in book.keel,ing in a wholesale house. He then liMened to the advir.e o( an older journalist, Horace Greeley, and came west, halt ing in Boone county, Ill inois, and leaching school three years. Not having a thorou gh relish for th is profession, in t8SS he came fart her west, locaiing in Ha.rdin. count)", Iowa, selecting the picturesque

little village of lo,,·a Falls for his home. Here he pursued the business of land agent for several years. In Febrllar)" 1856, he issued the first call for a repUblican convention in ' that county, and in compliance with the ca.1I a meeting was held, and the parly was forma II)" organized un the u d of th;\ t month.

In 1863 Mr. Woodrurr I'urchn i!-Cd the "Sentinel" ncwspapt:r es tablishment at Eldora, the county seat, and managed it there for two years, when he moved it to luwa Fall5, enlarged the paper, and conducted it with increased and marked ability. In May, 1870, he disposed of the "Sentinel," and, in partnership with Charles Aldrich, purchased the Waterloo "Courier," of which he was the sole editor' most of the time for nearly four yeau. In February, 1814, he disposed of his property in Waterloo, purchased one_half interest in the Dubuque "Times," and has been its chief editor to this time. Though an ardent republican, he i~ courteous to contemporary jou rnalists of the opposite party; is dignified in the tone of his leaders; is a clear thinker and an Ible writer.

Mr. Woodruff was chief clerk of th~ Iowa house of representatives of the twelfth general assembly in 1868, and postmaster at Iowa Falls when he left Hardin for Black Hawk county.

On the 7th of April, 1861, he was married to Miss Eliu E. Weller, of Norwich, New York.
