A biosketch of Amos Rule [6] reports:
Amos Rule, merchant; Woodview; is the third son of John and Susan (Blosser) Rule; was born June 2, 1832, in this township. He worked on the farm, and received such instruction as the schools of his neighborhood could give. In 1853, being twenty-one years of age, he became a clerk in the store of Morgan Levering at Woodberry. In the meantime he devoted his spare moments to the study of medicine. April 5, 1855, he united in marriage with Caroline Buchner of this township, and soon after emigrated to Nebraska, where he engaged in the practice of medicine for about two years, then returned to North Woodbury. He entei'ed into a partnership with Allen Levering in the mercantile business. This partnership lasted about six vears, and during that time the first draft for troops was made, and it fell on both partners. They hired substitutes and continued business until Levering sold his interest to Norman Merwine, and again both Rule and Merwine were drafted on the second call, and escaped by paying $300 each to the volunteer credit fund, to secure the township's quota. Subsequently Mr. Merwine sold his interest to Robert Levering, which partnership lasted until 1876, when Levering retired, leaving Mr. Rule sole proprietor. He carries at present a full stock of dry-goods, groceries, hats, caps, boots and shoes, and in short. everything demanded by a farming community, at prices that favor the purchaser. Mr. Rule attended lectures at Stirling Medical College, and has been (juite successful in practice, but is not actively engaged at present.
