Richard Mayne
One of the old and highly respected citizens of Princeton is the
venerable gentleman who heads this sketch. He was born near Belfast,
Ireland, June 10, 1810, received a common school education and learned the
wagon makers' trade. He immigrated to America in 1832 and settled in Galena,
Illinois, where he was employed at the glass smelting works.
In 1850 he crossed the plains to California in search of gold, and
remained on the Pacific coast three years, when he returned to Iowa, his
venture not having proven a financial success. He acquired a farm of four
hundred acres in Jackson County, which he sold in 1867 and purchased a home
in Princeton, where he still resides.
Mr. Mayne married Miss Mary Hubble, and they have one son, Samuel, who
now lives in Davenport.
