Author: Portrait/Bio Album, Whiteside County IL 1885

David B. Gsell, farmer, located on section 7, Clyde Township, was born Dec. 
15, 1852, in Franklin Co., Pa., and is the son of William and Maria (Burkhart) 
Gsell, for an extended sketch of whom see the biography of Wm. B. Gsell on 
another page. The family removed to Whiteside County, whither an older son had 
come the previous year, in 1864. Mr. Gsell was then 13 years of age, and he 
had passed his boyhood in his native State, obtaining a rudimentary education, 
to which he materially added by further attendance at school in Clyde 
Township, which he maintained until he reached the period of his legal 
freedom. When he was 21 years of age he engaged in farming, in which he has 
since continued with the exception of one year which he spent in Johnson Co., 
Neb. He was married Feb. 25, 1879, to Margaret M., daughter of John and Jane 
(Blue) Wilson, a biographical sketch of whom appears in connection with that 
of William Gsell, who married another daughter. Mrs. Gsell was born April 28, 
1857, in Clyde Township, and was educated in the district school and lived 
with her parents until marriage. She is the mother of two children,—Clifford, 
born Nov. 7, 1880, and Maud, born Nov. 18, 1884. Mr. Gsell is a Republican and 
his wife is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His farm contains 72 
acres of well improved land.
