William and Rachel Tapps lived on a farm south of Conrad Iowa.
William was a farmer. In later years he sold his farm and moved to Conrad Iowa. Bought a home 4 blocks east of Main Street. In down town Conrad he bought block square livery stable - all enclosed with a large lobby - enclosed office with a large coal burning heater in center of lobby for farmers who come to town shipping and talking to other farmers and to get warm. Also a big brass spittoon for tobacco chewers. If they missed William will remind them not to miss. Stable boy would unhitch horses - take them to stall - feed them-until farmers were ready to go home, then stable boy would hitch them up. William bought on of Henry Fords first touring cars, big brass headlights, which he kept polished and side curtains.
William kept hard maple floors polished in his office and lobby as well as floors at home. Even outdoor toilet had hard maple floors polished.
In 1915 William became very ill with pernicious anemia. In those days there was no treatment known for pernicious anemia, he traveled to Mayo Brothers, Rochester Minnesota, new York, etc. No help
In 1919 he died bed ridden. Ten years later in 1929 a medicine was found to help, B-12 and Liver. Since then no one needed to die from pernicious anemia.
