JOSEPH CELLERS

     A well known and popular merchant of Drain, Douglas county, was born in
Jefferson county, Ohio, June 3, 1834, and there resided until eighteen years of
age.  He then went west and resided in Iowa and Missouri, until his coming to
this coast, which event occurred in 1875, and selected Douglas county as his
future home.  Mr. Cellers first engaged in farming, and a few years later
started his present general merchandise store in Drain, but still retains his
valuable farm two miles east of the latter town.  An excellent view of his farm
residence will be found in this work.  Mr. Cellers is a member of the Masonic
and Odd Fellows orders, in both of which he has taken an active interest; and is
a pleasant and affable gentleman with whom it is a pleasure to meet.  He was
married in 1865, to Miss Mary J. Barber, and has a family of nine children.
