At that time he moved with his family to the village of Le Roy and engaged in the lumber business. He was at one time one of the wealthiest citizens of that place. He manufactured his own lumber up in Alleghany County and shipped it down the canal. His retail yards were at Buffalo, Rochester and Lockport, and his name was well known among the leading merchants of all those cities. While a resident of Le Roy Mr. Olmsted helped found the Le Roy Academy, a school for boys and girls, and there his children obtained a part of their education. For several years past Mr. Olmsted had resided in a pretty cottage home which his son, J. G. Olmsted, built for him near his own home on West Grand avenue. It was there that he died. He had always been interested in educational affairs, and was well read even up to the time of his last illness. He had engaged in no business since coming to Des Moines, but enjoyed an extended acquaintance through his long residence in that city. 2113, (Major) Jerauld Aubery +. 2114, Willis Arthur; b. at Covington, N.
