- Gidley, Richard L., is a cousin from over the sea. He is a
native of Cornwall, Wales, born June 4, 1841. At the age of
five years he immigrated to America with his parents who
located in Wisconsin. Here Mr. G. remained until 1865, when he
went to school some, and commenced learning the carpenter's
trade. That year he came to Iowa, stopping at Des Moines, where
he remained until 1868. From thence he went to Council Bluffs,
remaining until 1870, when he sought Malvern for his future
home, of where he was among its first settlers. In it, he has
held various positions of trust - Mayor, town trustee, twice,
and is now serving his third term under the present
organization. He has worked at the carpenter trade for
twenty-five years, having commenced to learn its mysteries when
but fifteen years old. He is now the proprietor of the Inter
Ocean Hotel of Malvern. Sena Mabee, of Monroe county, Iowa,
joined Mr. Gidley, as a co-laborer in his pilgrimage through
life's journey, April 15, 1878. One child, Richard E., born at
Malvern, August 24, 1879, has been added to that home circle.
Mr. D. did good service for his adopted country in the
rebellion. He enlisted in company I, of the second Wisconsin
infantry, in April, 1861, and served in the army until June 30,
1864. He was in the battles of Bull Run, Fredericksburg,
Charlottsville, South Mountain, Antietam, and Gettysburg, at
which battle he was wounded. He explains that he fired the
first shot from the infantry, at the battle of Gettysburg. From
the effects of his wound he was confined to the hospital some
eleven months. He was a prisoner for the three days the rebels
occupied the town. He is a Mason and was master of the Silver
Urn Lodge of Malvern for two terms.
