   ALBERT JAMES SHAUL was born in Williams County, Ohio, November 22,
   1854.  He is a son of MICHAEL P. and PHOEBE (MUSSETTER) SHAUL, and
   one of a family of six children: AMANDA E., wife of A. J. DARR;
   JOHN F., book-keeper in the Huron National Bank, Huron, Dakota;
   WILLIAM H., student at the Iowa Agricultural College, Ames, Iowa;
   CHARLES L., in the employ of the Northern Pacific Express Company,
   Helena, Montana; ADA E., a teacher in the Millersburg, Iowa, public
   schools, and ALBERT J., the subject of this sketch.  Mr. SHAUL was
   born on a farm, and when a child came with his parents to Iowa
   County, where his father bought a farm which he improved and has
   made his home for thirty years.  There he grew to manhood and re-
   ceived his first lessons in the public schools.  He afterward at-
   tended Western College in Linn County, which is now located at
   Toledo, Tama County.  Upon returning home he taught twelve terms
   of school.  In 1881 he began work in a general merchandise store
   at Keswick, JOHNS & WILSON being the firm, with whom he remained
   three years.  At the end of this time he went into the drug busi-
   ness with Dr. I. F. CAMERON, the firm name being CAMERON & SHAUL.
   While in this business Mr. SHAUL studied pharmacy and took the
   course of study on pharmacy at the National Institute of Pharmacy,
   and now holds a certificate from that institution. Upon completing
   his course he stood the examination before the Iowa and Nebraska
   Boards of Pharmacy, and is now a registered pharmacist of each of
   these States.  He then went to Long Pine, Nebraska, and embarked
   in the drug business upon his own responsibility, remaining there
   until he came to Quimby to enter into partnership with A. C. SMITH,
   Esq.  The firm name is SMITH & SHAUL, and they are doing a profit-
   able business, having attracted a large patronage by their fair
   dealings and courteous manners. Mr. SHAUL was married March 31,
   1866, to Miss NELLIE BALDWIN, of Keswick, Iowa, a daughter of A.
   D. and ANNA (HUMMER) BALDWIN.  Mr. and Mrs. SHAUL are the parents
   of one child, Daphne.  In politics Mr. SHAUL supports the issues
   of the Republican party.  He is a member of the United Brethren
   Church.
