Emery, James H., practical horseshoer, Lake City, was born in Plymouth,
Windsor county, Vermont, in 1822. He is the son of Dr. John W. Emery, who
is now a resident of Michgan, and eighty-four years old. Mr. Emery learned
his trade in Boston, and took special veterinary lessons on shoeing from
Dr. Varey, a veterinary surgeon of Boston, Massachusetts, and came west to
Chicago many years ago. He there conducted a prosperous business till the
outbreak of the late war, when he enlisted in the 18th, Ill. Cav.,
commanded by Col. Farnsworth. The three and a half years following was
spent in active warfare in behalf of his country, in the army of the
Potomac. In 1865 he came to Lake City, opened up a horse-shoeing and
blacksmith-shop, and still continues the business. His wife, whose society
he has enjoyed for the last thirty years, was Charlotte Gould, a daughter
of David Gould, of Vermont, and is the mother of his two children, Laura,
the wife of J. R. Clark, of Chicago, and Winslow D.
