Jameson Bros. (W. J. and C. O.) are the successors of James & Yancey in the proprietorship of "Hotel Jameson" since October, 1889. The hotel has thirty-five rooms, is nicely furnished throughout and is under the direct management of C. O. Jameson.

This gentleman was born in New Brunswick, March 7, 1857, the fifth of six children of Charles S. and Jane (McIntyre) Jameson, and of Scotch and Irish extraction. His parents are both still living in that province. In his youth he learned the carriage trade, and followed it until he entered his present business. He first engaged in that trade in Council Bluffs in 1873 for one year, then in Creston, this State, for five years, and then three years at Hastings, Nebraska; since then he has been in his present position. He has recently taken the general agency for the State of Maine for the United States Masonic Benevolent Association of Council Bluffs, Iowa. He is a live, energetic business man, fully understanding his vocation. In his political sympathies he is a Republican, and in society he is a member of Bluff City Lodge, No. 71, F. & A. M.

He was married in 1884, to Miss Minnie Boslough, of Mendota, Illinois, who was born October 1, 1861. Their courteous manner and genial disposition evinced their fitness as managers of one of the best hotels in Council Bluffs.
