FRANK PALEY, Few men so young as Mr. Paley can look back over a business career so successful as he is. The boy is fortunate whom, thrown upon his own resources at an early age. He has the skill to do and the strength to endure until he acquires a footing among men; still more fortunate he who combines with his business skill and bodily strength the moral principles and self-respect that bring with his financial success the esteem of all who know him. Such were the fortunate qualifications of our subject in boyhood and they have assisted him in attaining, though still young in years, an enviable position among the representative citizens of Dubuque Township.

A native of Minnesota, our subject was born December 11, 1866, and is the son of Adolph and Sophia Paley, natives respectively of Bremen and Mecklenberg, Germany, who emigrated to the United States in 1828 and settled in Minnesota. He was one of eight children, of whom six are now living. His educational advantages were most meagre, in fact the knowledge he has gained is the result of his tutelage in the school of experience and observation. Early in life he became self-supporting and was only eleven years of age when he was one of the main supports of his mother.

At the age of fourteen years Mr. Paley was assisted by a capitalist in Dubuque to get a start in the dairy business, thus laying the foundation for his present large financial interest. Notwithstanding the fact that he was compelled to compete with old established business firms, he soon gained a solid footing as a reliable and energetic man. Being a young man of business ability and progressive ideas, he soon worked his way to the front, and as the result of his energy, Paley's dairy wagons can now be seen all over the city of Dubuque. On starting in business he was of course obliged to incur a heavy debt, but this was soon paid, and he then began to accumulate property. He is now the owner of four hundred acres situated near the corporate limits of tile city of Dubuque.

September 24, 1891, Mr. Paley was united in marriage with Miss Emma Ernst, who was born near her present home and has made Dubuque County her life-long home. She is an accomplished lady, devoted to the welfare of her husband and their two daughters, Grace and Rosa. The political convictions of Mr. Paley are with the Republican Party, and he may always be relied upon to cast his ballot in support of its men and measure. However, he has little time for the consideration of public affairs, preferring to concentrate his energy and activity upon his business interests.
