Angell, William D., (page 1132), 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.
