Macksburg, Iowa Population: 113

“At that time, there was no railroad in the town and it required much faith in the development of the western country to foresee the increase in population and wealth that the intervening years have brought. Mr. Townsend believed in the growth of the country and engaged in the mercantile business in Macksburg. He conducted a general store for twenty-nine years and was accorded a liberal patronage by the people of this town and its vicinity. He invested heavily in real estate and became the owner of about a thousand acres of fine farming land, in the development of which he contributed largely to the agricultural progress of the county. He was also connected with its financial development, as he was one of the organizers of the Macksburg National Bank and was its second president, although he has now disposed of his interests in that institution. He owns considerable property in Des Moines and has important interests in Macksburg an Madison County. He is not only one of the wealthy men of his locality but is also one of the most highly esteemed and best liked, as his success has been won by constructive methods and has not depended upon the defeat of his fellowmen. “ -  Information taken from History of Madison County IOWA 1915 Vol. II
