Stout, James C., insurance, loan, and real estate agent, Lake City, is a
son of Judge Stout, and a brother of George Stout, whose sketches appear
on another page, was born at Middletown, New York, August 25, 1840, and
came to Lake City with the family in July, 1856. Here he attended the
early schools and in 1859 entered the Hamilton University at Madison, New
York. On his return to this city he entered the mercantile house of his
brother-in-law, H. F. Williamson, and sold out to him in 1866. He then
built the brick store on the corner of Washington and Marion streets, at a
cost of $8,000, where he conducted a general merchandise business for a
number of years, after which he engaged in his present business. For the
past year much of his time has been spent in St. Paul, where he is working
up an extensive insurance. He was married August 13, 1868, to Miss Agnes
Scott, a native of Fremont, New York, and has a family of four children.
