A. A. BARRICK, one of the representative business men of Battle Creek, Ida
county, Iowa, has been identified with the interests of this place since 1881.

Mr. Barrick is a native of Chicago, Illinois, born June 5, 1852, son of
William and Elizabeth Barrick, natives of England. When A. A. was a year old his
father moved to Clinton county, Iowa, and on a farm in that county he grew to
manhood. He served an apprenticeship to the blacksmith's trade, and was engaged
in business on the Maquoketa road one year. Then he farmed one year. The
following three years he was engaged in blacksmithing in Morris county, Kansas.
In 1881 he came from Kansas to Battle Creek, and has since been engaged in the
blacksmith business here, and in connection with this business, in 1889 he
opened up a stock of farming implements. He handles Caultmen threshers and
Goodhue and Globe windmills, and, in fact, everything kept in a first-class
implement house. His annual sales amount to between $7,000 and $8,000.

Mr. Barrick is identified with the Republican party, and has been a member of
the City Council six years. Socially, he is an Odd Fellow; religiously, a
Methodist. He is a Steward and Trustee in the Methodist Episcopal Church.

In 1878 Mr. Barrick married Miss Hannah Gillmore, a native of Jackson county,
Iowa. They have had two children, Roy and Archie. The latter is deceased.
