[(IV) Gustavus Adolphus, son of Robert Saunders and Mary Northcott, was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, April 4, 1861. His early education was received in Clarksburg where he attended the Academy, afterwards being graduated from West Liberty Normal School, in the class of 1879. He started in the grocery business in Clarksburg, in May of the same year, and continued therein until the year 1882, when he removed to Rupert, Greenbrier county, West Virginia, engaging in a general store business which he conducted until the fall of 1884. In January, 1885, he came to Huntington, West Virginia, and established his present commercial enterprises ; he is now engaged in the clothing trade in the cities of Huntington, West Virginia, and Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Northcott is not only a prominent man in his locality, having been a member of the Huntington school board, of which he was president for a year, but is also a prominent man in state affairs and an influential member of the Republican party. During the sessions of 1903 and 1905 he was a member of the West Virginia state senate, being president of the senate during the latter session. He is at present a member of the state board of regents. His social activities are also extensive; he belongs to the orders of Masons and Elks, and as a clubman is a member of the Guyandot, Cabell Country, and Cincinnati Business Men's clubs. In business circles his influence is wide reaching, and he is a director in the First National Bank. He is an Episcopalian in his religious tenets, but his wife and children are members of the Baptist church.
