  	ames Saul was born in County Wicklow, Ireland, and is of English descent. His father, Thomas Saul, was an excise man of the English government. James learned the shoemaker's trade but, believing that America possessed advantages he could not find on the Emerald isle, came to the United States in 1849. He married Maria Charles in New Jersey. She was born near Belfast, Ireland, and came to the United States with her mother about 1849, too. Early in the '50s they arrived in Cedar Rapids, where he followed his trade, accumulating sufficient capital to purchase land in Iowa County. In 1879 they removed to Crawford County and engaged successfully in farming until 1900, when he retired with his wife at Denison. They have been members of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he was formerly an officer. Politically he gives his support to the republican party. They are the parents of six children: 1. Thomas, who is engaged in the van and moving business at Fargo, North Dakota; 2. Margaret, wed John McLean, a farmer of Liberty, Nebraska; 3. James C., of Denison, Iowa, engaged in ranching in Wyoming; 4. William Clark, a lawyer; 5. Henry C., twin, 6. Willard A., twin. The twins are interested with their brother in the Wyoming ranch near Douglas.
