On the 7th of April, 1858, Mr Canon was united in marriage to Miss Rhoda Smalley, a daughter of Andrew and Rhoda (Shepherd) Smalley, who came to Muscatine in 1839 when the city was but a small trading post on the western frontier and was called Bloomington. Mrs Canon was born in Carthage, Ohio, and was only two years old when her parents came to Muscative, arriving in 1839. Here she has since lived, with the exception of five years spent in Tacoma and also a period when she was absent at school. By her marriage she became the mother of twin sons, Samuel and Andrew, but both died in infancy; and a daughter, Nellie, who is now the wife of William E Bliven, one of the most prominent and prosperous business men in Muscatine, of whom extended mention is made elsewhere in this Volume. In April 1873, Mr and Mrs Canon adopted a baby girl, Anna Bertha, who is now Mrs C E Hodgson, of Rock Island, Ill.
