Adam A. Jewett, one of the prominent and energetic business men of Annandale, was born in Eau Claire, Wis., January 19, 1863, son of Aaron H. and Jane E. (Emerson) Jewett. Aaron H. Jewett came to Wright county in 1862 and homesteaded a tract of land in section 8, Marysville township. A year later he was joined by the family. Adam A. was reared on this place. As he grew up he helped with the farm work and earned spending money by digging ginseng, and cutting hoop poles, cord wood and ties. He received a good common school education, and in 1882 became a rural school teacher. In this profession he continued for six years. In 1888 he went into the grain business at Maple Lake, and so continued until 1903. From 1894 to 1903 he did the village good service as postmaster. He went to Pasadena, California, in 1903 for the benefit of his wife's health. In 1905 he entered into the grain business in Barlow, North Dakota, and there remained until 1910. In that year he came to Annandale and became manager for the Osborne McMillan Elevator Company. Aside from the splendid work he does in this line, he is extensively engaged in the implement business. In public affairs, Mr. Jewett has been especially active. At different times he has held all the village offices of Maple Lake, and for twelve years was on the school board there. For the past three years he has been village recorder of Annandale. For ten years he was township member of the Republican Central Committee. He belongs to Buffalo Lodge, No. 135, A. F. & A. M., and Barlow (North Dakota) Lodge, No. 106, I. O. O. F. For twenty-five years he has been a member of Maple Lake Lodge, No. 212, A. O. U. W., and has occupied all the offices in that lodge. Mr. Jewett was married in 1885 to Gertrude E. Past, daughter of John and Margaret Past. Mr. and Mrs. Jewett have seven children: Harry H., Calvin C. and Eva C., who live at home, and four who are dead.
