GEORGE MOLLART, the residence of this gentleman is in Dubuque, Township, and Dubuque County, where for a number of years he has been engaged in agricultural work. His property is well improved, having good buildings and other improvements of a first-class character. Here he carries on general farm pursuits, with the assistance of his sons. In former years he devoted his attention exclusively to mining, and still follows this Occupation in the winter months. His present high standing is due to his unremitting industry, for when he started out in life for himself he had no moneyed capital.

The parents of our subject Ralph and Mary Ann (Ainsworth) Mollart, were natives of Staffordshire, England, where the father followed the trade of a mechanic. In 1847 he took passage on a ship at Liverpool, and after an ocean voyage of six weeks landed at New Orleans. From that city he traveled on a river steamer up the Mississippi to St. Louis, where he sojourned for three weeks. Then proceeding further northward, he settled at Durango, Iowa, and became an extensive miner, being fortunate enough to strike one of the biggest leads in that locality. In that town his wife died, at the age of about forty-six years. He came to Dubuque about 1864, and here lived in retirement until his death, at the age of fifty-five. In politics he was identified with the Republican Party, and used his influence to forward its interests. His activity and intelligent enterprise were potent factors in the advancement of the milling interests of Iowa.

The subject of this sketch was born in Staffordshire, England, November 28,1838, and was one of six children that grew to years of maturity. At present only two are living. In early life he was trained in the mining industry, which he selected as his occupation upon starting out for himself. He remained at home until twenty-five years of age, when he married Miss Ann Warmouth, a native of Durham, England, and a daughter of John and Elizabeth Warmouth. There have been born to them seven children, of whom six are now living, as follows: Thomas W.; Mary A., wife of John Miller and mother of two children; Edward W., Charles A., Edith and Grace.

For several years after his marriage Mr. Mollart resided at Durango, Iowa, and thence removed to Dubuque about 1868. Here he followed mining for two years, and then purchased the farm where he has since made his home, Politically he uniformly votes the Republican ticket, and supports with his influence as well as his ballot those candidates who are pledged to the principles of the party. His first vote was cast for Abraham Lincoln. He came to Dubuque County a poor man, but by honesty and economy has acquired a valuable property, and at the same time his honorable dealings with all men have won for him the esteem of his fellow men.
