Raum, recently killed near Glen by the fall of a horse he was riding, served two terms following nineteen hundred.

Then came the long and wonderfully efficient record of E. F. Pontius. Six terms, or a total of twelve years, he held the dual office of county clerk and clerk of the district court. Cyrus O. Wertz served one term following and his record was up to the high standard of excellence, and this being' the period of the great world war, extra heavy duties were involved. The present clerk. Earl R. Cherry, was first elected in nineteen eighteen, and has since been re-elected. The work in his office is excellently systematized and he has a very efficient assistant as deputy. Miss E. Mary Broderick.

County Treasurers

As stated heretofore, Edmund C. Lockwood was the first treasurer of Sioux county. He served but one term when Martin Gayhart was elected. Gayhart served four years and was followed by H. S. Woodruff, who served two years. Charles Biehle followed with two terms, and in nineteen hundred John Serres was chosen. Serres served one term and then John I. Davis served a term, after which Carl M. Lux was elected for two terms. M. D. Jordan then followed for two terms, and Thos. S: Boyd succeeded him for two terms. In nineteen seventeen the present treasurer. Fred W. Meyer, was elected. He was re-elected in nineteen nineteen, and the change in the law gives him additional service for two years. Mr. Meyer has proven an excellent official, and has for his deputy, Jess Anderson, and is up to the standard of capableness and courtesy for which the office has been conspicuous.
