Hi All: I just received my book -- 'Biographical and Historical Record of Ringgold and Decatur Counties, Iowa' -- The Lewis Publishing Company; 1887. Would be happy to look for and transcribe other info.. TUSKEEGO: Tuskeego is a station on the Grant City branch of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad. It was laid out in 1879, on section 20, Bloomington Township, the land being owned by A.M. Jackson, who is still the proprietor of a large number of the lots. These are 50 x 125 feet in size, except the business lots, which are 25 x 125. The town site is on good level ground and is not excelled by that of any other village in the county. The first building was erected in 1879. The first merchant was S.W. Hurst. The village has at the present time two stores. One is owned by a Mr. Parks T.C. Jackson being manager, and the other by A.W. Bowman. Both have good stocks of general merchandise. J.C. Varney is postmaster and station agent. The first postmaster was J.L. Jackson, appointed in 1879. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert August 13, 2005 iggy29@rnetinc.net 'A Closed Mouth Gathers No Foot'.
