Aquilla Belt is husband of Henrietta Lewis
Biography of Rev Carlton Belt (Child of Aquilla and Henrietta)
"REV. CARLTON L. BELT. By a happy dispensation of Providence, there are"many of many minds," and in looking over the world at large it would seem to the contemplative mind that it is really admirably balanced.
Some must necessarily be expert in the marts of trade, while at the same time it is important that others interest themselves in upholding those moral principles which he at the basis of law and order. To the latter class the subject of this sketch has since a youth been inclined, and has built up for himself a good record as a man and a citizen.
He has labored long and faithfully in the church, and in
both his public and private life has exhibited the kindly disposition and generous mind, together with charity, the noblest of all traits, which have gained him the esteem and confidence of those among whom he has lived, thus establishing his influence and making him the instrument of much good.
A native of Licking County, Ohio, Mr. Belt was born on the 1st of March, 1832,and went with his parents when a little lad five years of age to Kosciusko County,Ind. There his father purchased a tract of land, and Carlton L. busied himself with farm pursuits and in attendance at the common schools until a youth of eighteen years. Then the family removed across the Mississippi into Lint County, Iowa, whence our subject Went two years later into the northern part of the Hawkeye State,where he sojourned until reaching his majority.
Young Mr. Belt, about 1853, purchased a farm in Fayette County, Iowa, which he operated until 1865, then sold out and moved to Iowa County, that State, where he secured another tract of land, and lived from the spring of 1865 until 1873. In the early part of the latter year he made his way to this county, and for two years cultivated rented land in Stockton Precinct. Finally he purchased 240 acres on section 22, and has since given to this the time and attention not required in his ministerial labors. He has erected a comfortable dwelling, set out fruit and shade trees, and gathered about himself and those nearest to him those little comforts and convieniences which have so much to do with the happiness of life. His farm embraces 160 acres of good land, all in productive condition and devoted to general agriculture.
Our subject, while a resident of Iowa, was Township Clerk and School Director, and has held the latter office in his present school district for a number of years. He and his
estimable wife for a long period have been devoted members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which Mr. B. was made a licensed minister in 1855. For two years he was a
member of the Iowa Conference. He commenced his labors in the ministry in 1855, and gave much of his time to church work until 1881. He cast his first Presidential vote for J. C. Fremont, and was a lifelong member of the Republican party until 1884, when his warm interest in the success of the temperance movement led him to identify himself with the Prohibitionists.
The father of our subject, Aquilla Belt, was a native of Newark. Ohio, and the mother, in her girlhood Miss Henrietta, E. Lewis, was born in Virginia. They are still living in Buchanan County,Iowa, having arrived at an advanced age."
