 Angell, William D., druggist, was born in Edmiston, Otsego county, New York, May 23, 1835. He is 
 the youngest son of David and Huldah Angell, and grandson of Jonathan Angell, who was born in 
 Exeter, New York. David Angell was born on his father's homestead in Exeter in 1798, and is still 
 living in Burlington, same county. The mother of William D. Angell died when he was but three 
 months old, and his father afterward married Abigail, daughter of Benedict Oatley, a soldier of the 
 war of 1812. Mr. Angell helped his father to clear a farm in New York, and received a fair common 
 school education. He remained on the same farm till 1862, when he paid a visit to the west. After 
 spending nine months in Mazeppa, he returned to New York. In the fall of 1866 he again came to 
 Mazeppa, and the next year opened a boot and shoe store. Here he was married to Miss Alice, 
 daughter of Benjamin Southwick, of New York. Mrs. Angell was born in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania. 
 Early in 1870, immediately after his marriage, he again took up his abode in New York, and remained 
 six years. Since the spring of 1876 he has been a resident of Mazeppa, and engaged in the sale of 
 drugs. In 1877 he built the store which he now occupies. From a small beginning, he has now built up 
 a successful business, and is a leading citizen of the village. He is a republican and a Freethinker.
