In the 1950's, there was a gentleman two farms east of us who spelled his name Rostenbach. It was pronounced as though the "t" didn't exist making it sound like Rosenbach. His name was Albert. He later moved to Davenport. I do not kow if he is still living or not. Albert actually lived in Blue Grass township. Sandra Schroder Tennyson [email protected] wrote:

Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa Dec. 7, 1871 Justice Court. Ella Cullers put in appearance this morning before Justice Thorington, on the charge of vagrancy. Ella is a gushing young lady just turned fifteen, and as she has no visible means of support, and was given to wandering about; complaint was lodged against her. She was somewhat nonplussed in facing the Court. The Court-"You must get yourself to some honest calling and endeavor to commence at once to live an upright life, or the day will come when it will be too late. You have until tomorrow morning to get a place. Here is a letter to a humane gentleman in this city, who takes an interest in helpless girls, if they show any disposition to help themselves, and to act honestly. You can go and see him." Miss Ella-" Where does he reside. I will go, and if I can get a place that is respectable, will accept it, and will do right." The Court.-" He resides on Brady. Dr. Wunderlich, you can let her her go until tomorrow morning at nine o'clock and if she gets into a decent employment you need not disturb her; otherwise, you may bring her before me tomorrow morning, to which time this case is continued. Dec. 13, 1871 Justice Court. Yesterday Dr. Hazen obtained a verdict against the city of $17.50, the amount claimed on damages to his buggy, by reason of a bad place in the streets. John Friday, of Rockingham township, was bound over in the sum of $500, to abstain from thrashing the schoolmaster in his district, whom he had threatened to whip for sending his (Friday's) boy home from school. Peace and good will again reigns in Rockingham. Police Court. Case of Ceck vs. LeClaire assault and battery; defendant fined $25 and costs. The alleged highway robbery branch of same case postponed until the 18th inst. Ed Boersch, of St. Louis House in court on charge of assault and battery on Carl Ulrich, an employer. It seems he had discharged Ulrich, who, when demanding his pay, Mr. B. undertook to whip. The table seemed to turn and Boersch got whaled; and so there are cross suits in progress. Case of Stealing. Since last spring, merchant tailor McCullough has had a lad in his employ, a clerk, whom, as it has lately been ascertained, has been, for some months, indulging in the dishonest practice of abstracting goods from the store, and selling them to small concerns in the same line of business about town. Mr. McC. had several times found himself unaccountably short of different kinds of trimmings but had no well grounded suspicion that anything was wrong with his help. A few days ago it transpired, however, that a special brand of goods, which he alone had in this market, were being used elsewhere. He charged the theft upon the lad, who confessed the crime-and having done so no prosecution will be entered. He examined several stocks in the city, and identified some part of his goods this morning. As far as he yet knows, the goods stolen consist of sewing silks, buttons, buckles and basting buttons. He found about $30 worth of goods, which is but a fraction of the amount lost. It is a little strange that men will encourage a boy in this evil practice. They must know that the goods are stolen-the quality of the article offered and the price paid is sufficient evidence to any man, how the same were obtained.

Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa Dec 4, 1871 Justice Court About a month ago, Hans Riemer sued Isaac Hansen, a street car driver for forcible ejectment from the cars, placing his damages at $100. Change of venue was taken from Peters to Thorington and as the case was coming up to day the parties appeared, the quarrel settled, The Railroad Co., paying the costs. Dec 5, 1871 Thief Arrested. Samuel Harding was brought over from Peoria today , having been arrested there on charge of grand larceny. On the 7th of November last, he was started to Davenport by Daniel Murphy, of Peoria with a team of horses and load of tinware-the latter valued at $500, to be placed in the hand of Murphy's brother here, for disposal. It was soon found that he did not come to Davenport, but that on his way, had fallen in with a scamp named Tom Payne, and together went off on a stealing expedition. Detectives were put on their track, and they were traced through parts of Iowa and Illinois, but not overhauled. On Saturday night last he was arrested in Peoria, under his mother's bed. For want of jurisdiction in Illinois he was brought here for trial. One of the horses was killed by overdriving; the other in a used up condition, and the wagon, are at New Boston. Trial before Squire Peters. Attempted Robbery. Last evening about half past seven o'clock, as he was going home from market, Mr. N. Bergstrine was assailed at the corner of Main and Seventh street by two foot pads, one of which caught him, from behind, by the throat and placed his other hand over his mouth; the other gave him a violent blow below the belt, and at once proceeded to go through the victims pockets. At that moment, fortunately, two persons have in sight, at which the ruffians took alarm and beat a hasty retreat down Main st. Mr. Bergastrone picked himself up and went home, with his money in his pantaloons pockets. He lost nothing but his temper, and you would lose as much yourself. Keep a look out for that kind of vermin. Dec. 6, 1871 Police Court. It was conclusively proven that Willis Smith and John W. Bogarth were accelerated by bad whisky yesterday evening. It was the opinion of Justice Peters and the witnesses. The twain were so full when they retired, that when they arose this morning the pocketbook of one had found its way into the pocket of the other. Smith was the alleged thief, and Bogarth had him arrested for attempted robbery. Squire Peters bound him over to appear at the next term of court in the sum of $300.

Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa Nov 23, 1871 District Court Jury in case Geo. Hendricks charged with larceny, found him not guilty. The decision let McCullough and alleged confederate out of limbo also; leaving the burden of the offense with Wm. Smith upon whom the Staten watch was found. He awaits trial until February term, meanwhile boarding at the county jail. Judge Richman sentenced Ed. O'Donnell, convicted of pocket picking at the Scott County Fair, to four months' imprisonment in the county jail. Nov 25, 1871 Hard Case Her name is Lottie Wilson-a girl of seventeen or eighteen years, who has fallen into bad hands and evil practices. She came here from somewhere a few weeks ago and has been in jail most of the tie since. She got out yesterday morning and before eight o'clock was back again. About seven o'clock she went into W.K. Lindsay's jewelry store on Brady above Third and asked to see some lockets which were shown to her. While looking at them another customer came in and Mr. L., who was alone behind the counter, stepped to the rear end of the store to bring something the lady had called for, leaving the girl with the lockets. As Mr. L. stepped back, she caught up the best locket, valued at $9, and ran out. Mr. Lindsay asked the lady to stay a moment in the store and gave chase down Brady along Third to Main, where Mr. L.'s breath gave out, when his nephew, Theo. Eagal Jr. came on and took up the chase, capturing the thief at St ???? corner. They walked her back to the store, a policeman was called in and he was soon in jail. Mr. Lindsay recovered his property in a damaged condition, he having managed ??? way, to bruise the case and break the glass clear through. She was fined $5.00 and costs, which she insisted was $15 too small, and is in jail again. The House of Correction is the proper home for five years at least. Nov 27, 1871 Police Court The Saturday fight, corner of Second and Iowa streets, was called into Court. Finally Cochlin, the plaintiff, withdrew the case and the Kelley's paid the costs-$7.65, and there the matter ended. Frank Hall undertook to drink out a benzine saloon, but it was a bottle or so too much for his coppers, and he slid under the table, so into Court, and stood $5 and costs which served him right. And now comes John Lines, as is his regular custom every six months chuck full of "instant death" and was persuaded to put up $5 and costs as the sum of offending. These drunks are expensive. On an average the expense of getting away with a quart of poor whisky is a 300-hog. That kind of business will hardly pay farmer Lines, or any other man.

HISTORY OF WAR ACTIVITIES OF SCOTT COUNTY IOWA 1917-1918 ED. Ralph W. Cram. Davenport, Iowa: Scott Co. Council of National Defense. "AID FOR FRENCH ORPHANS" France and Belgium, an inspiration to the United States from the commencement of the war, had the help as well as the admiration of our community whenever their call for succor came across the sea. What was done for the Belgians is told in the Lend-a-Hand and other reports elsewhere in this volume. There was one organization, however, with a distinctive and praiseworthy work-the Committee on Adoption of French Orphans. This committee had ten sub-committees working throughout the state, and expected to continue its work as long as the need existed. At the time a report on the work was asked, it had secured the adoption of 554 orphans. Members of the committee were: Mrs. G.W. French, Chairman; Mrs. J.W. Bollinger, Vice-Chairman; Frank Yetter, Treasurer; Mrs. H.V. Scott, Assistant Treasurer; Misses Katherine Walsh, Elizabeth Putnam, Julia Ryan, and Mesdames Robert C. Ficke, J.R. Harper, Alfred C. Mueller, Wiliam T. Waterman, Gordon F. Harkness, Edward K. Putnam, R.J. Clausen, and J. Reed Lane. Cathy Joynt Labath Scott Co, IA USGenWeb Project http://www.celticcousins.net/scott/index.htm

HISTORY OF WAR ACTIVITIES OF SCOTT COUNTY IOWA 1917-1918 ED. Ralph W. Cram. Davenport, Iowa: Scott Co. Council of National Defense. "THE Y.M.C.A." By S.A. COHAGAN, District Secretary It has been well said that the home of the American soldier was in the Red Triangle Hut. Back of the work of the Army Y.M.C.A. stands the strength and traditions of the city Young Men's Christian Association. The work done by the local organizations made it possible for the Red Triangle to gear itself to meet its greatest opportunity for service among young men. The Davenport Association was not found wanting, and when the war ended five members of the staff were in khaki and blue and three of the men saw service in France, and in every war activity the Association did its full share. When the time came to raise money and men for the men in the army camps the Davenport Y.M.C.A. was made the district center for association war purposes of a district comprising the counties of Scott, Muscatine, Johnson, and Washington. S.A. Cohagan, General Secretary of the Davenport Y.M.C.A. was made District Secretary and served in that capacity throughout the war. In the various drives for finances for "Y" war work Davenport and Scott county have always been at the front. The first drive was for $2500, which, looked at from this distance, seems a small and insignificant sum. The second drive was for $3500. It is interesting to not that the second amount, while much larger than the first amount, was raised with much less trouble and worry. In the third drive it took the nature of a United War Work Campaign. Davenport again took its place as one of the leading associations of the state. Altogether for Army Y.M.C.A. work Davenport and Scott county raised practically $220,000. While the financial side as cared for by the Davenport Young Men's Christian Association was very important, another equally important matter was cared for by the association as the center. The keynote of the war work was personnel. Davenport contributed through the assistance of the local association, as the recruiting agency, twenty-nine men and women for the Red Triangle service. Miss Marion Crandall, of St. Katharine's School, died on the field of action, while several of the other workers suffered severely from gas and exposure to weather in France. Following are the names of those who so actively served in the Red Cross Triangle: Arthur C. Hall, A.E.F.; Herbert Eldridge; Frank Cole, A.E.F.; Clofford Nickle; L.W. McKown; W.A. McCulloch, A.E.F.; O.E. Johnson; Francis M. Leaman; Louis Wunschel; Mott R. Sawyers; Chas. Elliott, A.E.F.; Chas. Huber, A.E.F.; M.B. Cobb, A.E.F.; Burton James Gardner, A.E.F.; Frederick Mason, A.E.F; Arthur W. Van Houten, A.E.F.; Fred J. Walker, A.E.F.; Chas. Wilber Daly, A.E.F.; R.D. Brown; D.F. Scribner, A.E.F.; L.N. Gansworth, A.E.F.; W.P. Dodge, A.E.F.; Geo. W. Cannon, A.E.F.; E.S. Kindley; Herman Pieper; U.S. Screechfield, A.E.F.; Miss Pearl Hood, A.E.F.; Miss Helen Vincent, A.E.F.; E.T. Heald, A.E.F.; Miss Marion Crandall, A.E.F. The letters A.E.F. denote those who are serving with the American Expeditionary Forces. The Davenport Y.M.C.A. played a prominent part in the establishment of the Y.M.C.A. Hut on the Government Island. Working in close co-operation with the secretary there we were privileged to assist in equipping the building and furnishing the names of those who served on the committees for the Arsenal Y.M.C. A. work. Not only did the Y.M.C.A. endeavor to do its full share for the men in khaki and blue, but it also endeavored to look after the interests and welfare of the men in industries. Through the assistance of the National War Work Council it was possible to extend the association activities of the men of Rock Island Arsenal. A constructive program was carried through with the assistance of the War Work Council. The American soldier boy was practically never without the Y.M.C.A. The secretarial staff of the Davenport association were called on to accompany every troop train that left the city. Important service was rendered in helping the men to while away the otherwise tedious hours while enroute to the camps. The Davenport Service Flag displays 350 stars. Its members were in all branches of the service. Some lie buried in the poppy fields of Flanders, others were in German prison camps, still others in the ice-bound plains of Russia. One member of the association in the uniform of the army secretary has risked the terrors of Bolshevikism in Russia to serve from Petrograd to Vladivostok the fighting heroes of the Czecho-Slavs. And with the soldiers coming home the association stands ready to welcome them. To every returning soldier and sailor registering at the building we are giving a three month's service membership, which entitles him to the full privileges of the organization.

HISTORY OF WAR ACTIVITIES OF SCOTT COUNTY IOWA 1917-1918 ED. Ralph W. Cram. Davenport, Iowa: Scott Co. Council of National Defense. "THE HOME GUARD" Charles T. Kindt, Major Immediately after the declaration of war by the United States, as our National Guard was enlisted into the army, it was deemed necessary to form some kind of military organization that would safeguard our community. The result was the organization of what is now known as the Scott County Home Guard. A regular military organization was promulgated and incorporated. R.B. Cook was elected President; L.M. Marks, First Vice-President; Paul Lagomarcino, Second Vice-President; Charles T. Kindt, Secretary, and Otto Rieche, Treasurer. The Board of Directors chosen consisted of: John Ploehn representing the Manufacturers, M. Landauer representing the Merchants, Otto Hill representing the Banks, and R.A. Thomson representing the Home Guards. R.B. Cook acting as Secretary and Otto Rieche as Treasurer of the board. The organization was divided into two parts, one a sustaining membership to finance the organization and the other an active membership which was the military end of the organization. Six thousand dollars was subscribed by the various business organizations of Davenport for the purpose of furnishing uniforms, etc., to the military members. A battalion was formed of some two hundred men. Many changes were made in the personnel of the battalion due to men constantly answering the call for army service. Most of the Home Guard men who were inducted into the service were non-commissioned officers within a few weeks after their entrance into the army as a result of the training they had received in the Home Guard. At the time the armistice was signed most of the men who had composed the battalion were business and professional men who could not qualify for the army. Charles T. Kindt was selected Major of the battalion, and officers of the four companies were: Company "A"- Captain, Frank A Hetzel; First Lieutenant, R.P. Hayes, Second Lieutenant, H.R. Smythe. Company "B"-Captain, R.E. Beede; First Lieutenant, Frank L. Davis; Second Lieutenant, C.E. Alford. Company "C"- Captain, E.A. Sanford (resigned and replaced by Geo. T. Crowder); First Lieutenant, W.A. Hutton; Second Lieutenant, J.D. Cantwell (resigned and replaced by J.A. Kerrigan.) Company "D"- Captain, C.L. Leigh; First Lieutenant, A.H. Reupke; Second Lieutenant, Chas. F. Cameron. Lieut. R.A. Thomson was appointed Battalion Adjutant by Major Kindt. The military organization immediately became active in drilling and in a very short time the entire battalion was in such condition as to be able to give the city any assistance it might require in the way of police protection or guard duty. The organization was called upon on many occasions and proved very efficient. It was on duty for nearly twenty-four hours, continuously, at the time of the celebration of the signing of armistice, when the handling of the excited throng of thousands of celebrators without a serious accident marring the happy occasion was properly credited in large part to the efficient service of the Home Guard. A short time after the armistice was signed, the question of disbanding arose, but the battalion was prevailed upon to remain in existence until such time as the city and county may have other military organizations take its place.

Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa Nov 20, 1871 Justice Court The cases of Willi vs Thomas, wherein two are arraigned for marrying, while minors, was continued before Justice Thorington until tomorrow. The case of State vs Arthur Rooney, comes up Wednesday morning. Rooney undertook to distrain some cattle belonging to one Wm. Arnold, cut on the Wapsie, and said Arnold refused to be strained in any such way. Whereupon Rooney proceeded through him and is therefore arrested for assault and battery. Officer Dodd went out on Saturday and apprehended him, bringing him into town at a late hour. Justice Thorington heard the case yesterday and adjourned it until Wednesday morning. Foster for the State, Messrs. Cook and Thompson for defense. Nov 21, 1871 Justice Court The case of Thomas vs Willi was concluded before Justice Thorington, today and resulted in discharging the defendant. The point sustained by the Justice was that the oath necessary for procuring license was not properly administered. The parties, therefore, are legally married. The case of Struck, for assault and battery, is on as we go to press. District Court Case of State vs Sievers, for adultery, dismissed. This morning case of State vs. Ed O'Donnell taken up. Defendants in this action charged with assault and attempt to pick a pocket at the Scott County Fair Grounds in September last. Ellis for state, Foster and Ingham for defense. Wednesday, Nov 22, 1871 District Court In the case of State vs McDonnell, charged with being a pickpocket, the jury found a verdict of guilty, yet recommending him to the mercy of the court, Judge Richman sentenced him for three months, which was surely a merciful dispositio of the young law breaker. State vs. Geo Hendricks. The defendant is a river man, hails from Zanesville, Ohio, is a steamboat cook. About the middle of September last, the accused and several boon companions, while trying to drink out a saloon on Front street, between Brady and Perry, got a man named J.M. Broad pretty thoroughly drunk, so drunk that as alleged, he made an easy capture of his best gold watch, valued at about $80. The police ferreted the matter out, found the watch and captured the parties, who have been in jail ever since. Trial today; Ellis for State; Foster for defense. The Grand Jury is still in session and have reported the following indictments: Harry Clinton, for larceny, Carl Schroeder, assault with intent to inflict great bodily injury, Gustave and Anna Priester, for keeping house of ill-fame, Christian Page, malicious mischief-throwing stones into a neighbor's windows.
