I just returned from vacation and spent time in Council Bluffs, Pott. Co., as well as Greene Co., Jefferson, Iowa. What nice people I met at the Jefferson Library, who have turned a room in the library basement into a great genealogy section! They had tons of records there and two nice ladies helped me find the burial place of my ancestor, William Magers and his wife and daughter, at the Junction Township Cemetery. I found the cemetery and burials during a cold downpour of rain......only 58 degrees that day! Sure was a cool change from the 113 degrees I came home to in Phoenix! Stayed at the restored Hotel Pattee in Perry, Iowa, a wonderful place all redone in 1920's arts and crafts furniture and decor. Stayed in "The Quilt Room" which had every conceivable inch covered in real quilts or furniture painted in a quilt motif. Great fun. If you're searching in Greene Co. or Dallas Co. Iowa, be sure to contact the Genealogy Dept. of the Jefferson, Iowa, Library! Council Bluffs Library also has a growing genealogy section which I visited; didn't find anything I needed for my research...But while in Council Bluffs, I was able to purchase 7 City Directories dating back to the 1920's. I had to ship them (too heavy for carry-on luggage!) and they should be in Phoenix next week.........so I can do look-ups for anyone with an interest in Council Bluffs! Hope everyone is having a great summer. Mona Sarratt Knight
