Surnames: BURRIGHT Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zk.2ADI/728.1.1 Message Board Post: From the book Past and Present of Shelby County, Iowa, published 1915 by B.F. Bowen & Co., page 292, it states that there were the following railroads that started or ran through Shelby County, Iowa: 1856 - Iowa Central Air Line Railroad, followed by: Burlington & Missouri River (in 1915 became the C.B.&Q.) Mississippi & Missouri River (now the C.R.I.&P.) Iowa Central Air Line (became the C.&N.W.) (Chicago & Northwestern) Dubuque & Pacific (became the Illinois Central) McGregor & Missouri (became the C.M. & St. Paul) Sioux City & St. Paul In February 1859, a railroad convention was held at the pioneer village of Magnolia, Iowa, Harrison County. The Chicago & Northwestern Railroad first crossed the state, completing its line to Council Bluffs in 1867. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway, reached Council Bluffs in 1869. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy reached its line to Council Bluffs also in 1869. Page 113 of this same book shows that C. W. BURRIGHT was one of the early settlers in Douglas Township, Shelby County, Iowa. He is listed in the poll list of Douglas Township, showing the voters at the November election of 1876. I hope this is helpful to you.

Do you know where in Shelby County? Through my own reearch, I have found that my gr-grandfather worked for that line, during the same time period in Atlantic, Cass County, Iowa, while his brother, Daniel Daley, also worked for the Rock Island in Harlan, Shelby County. He had the distinction of being the first engineer to bring the train into Harlan, and held that position for many years. But I do not know where to locate the records for the RR.

I have more on their family but little on the Nowatzke side. Can you provide names of relatives still residing in the Earling area of these two? Do you have any pictures of Paul and Josephine? Interesting fact: in the Earling cemetary book Josephine has her parents listed as Joseph and Philomena (MOUDRE) Nowatske. Can you shed light on this as I see your post has it different? Thank You.

Surnames: MUCK; KOHL Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zk.2ADI/727 Message Board Post: ROBERT MUCK'S LIFE STORY Robert W. Muck was born in Ohio about 90 or 95 years ago-the real date of his birth being unknown to his companion-and departed this life at his home in Harlan, Wednesday morning, September 12, 1917. About 50 years age the departed moved to the state of Iowa, and on Christmas day, 1869, at Lisbon, Ia., was married to Miss Susan Kohl, his now sorrowing wife. After a residence of about six years near Lisbon, the deceased and his companion moved to Shelby county, Iowa, and during this time lived in or near Harlan. One brother and sister, aged people, live in the state of Kansas, and were unable to be present on account of age and decrepitude. I am informed by the sorrowing companion, that the deceased was exceedingly patient and kind during his long illness. It is perhaps needless to say that Robert W. Muck will be missed, not only from the home, but likewise from the community in which he has lived so long. The funeral was preached by the writer, M. Bamford, pastor of the Evangelical church.
