A Narrative History of The People of Iowa with SPECIAL TREATMENT OF THEIR CHIEF ENTERPRISES IN EDUCATION, RELIGION, VALOR, INDUSTRY, BUSINESS, ETC. by EDGAR RUBEY HARLAN, LL. B., A. M. Curator of the Historical, Memorial and Art Department of Iowa Volume IV THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY, Inc. Chicago and New York 1931 PAUL S. JUNKIN is president of the Fairfield Ledger Company, publishers of the Daily Ledger at Fairfield. In Jefferson County the Ledger has been a power in the newspaper field since pioneer times, and the Ledger is also almost unique in the history of Iowa journalism from the fact that it has been owned and published by one family continuously for eighty years. In that time there has been four representatives of the family who have had the chief responsibilities of the publication. Mr. Junkin's father carried the paper on for many years, and before Mr. Paul Junkin took charge one of his brothers was head of the business and also a nephew. Paul S. Junkin was born at Fairfield, August 12, 1867. He grew up and attended school there, and completed his education in Parsons College, attending the preparatory academy for three years and then taking the full four years' collegiate course. He was graduated in 1889. During his college career he was pursuing a practical vocational course, learning the newspaper business under his father and brother, then owners and editors of the Ledger. Mr. Paul Junkin then launched out into a newspaper career for himself, purchasing and for one year conducting the Orange City Harald. In 1900 he went to Corning as owner and editor of the Union Republican. Later he was editor and owner of the Creston Daily Advertiser and also had interests in the Bedford Times-Republican, Chariton Harald-Patriot, Albia Republican and Fort Madison Daily Democrat. Upon the reorganization of the Iowa Press Association Mr. Junkin was honored with election as its first president, and served two terms in that office. Mr. Junkin left the newspaper field in 1919 to engage in manufacturing at Fort Madison, Iowa, and later was appointed and served as receiver for the Perfection Tire and Rubber Company. Then, in 1924, he returned to Fairfield and acquired the controlling interest in the Fairfield Ledger. July 1, 1930, he became postmaster of Fairfield, being the first occupant of the fine new Postoffice Building, and disposing of a controlling interest in the Ledger to his nephew, Don McGiffin.

Virginia, Thank you so much for posting the site. Took forever to get into it even with our fast hookup, but well worth it, as found several heads of family I wanted, plus found the another was not in Virginia in 1785 at all. Now I know to hunt in surrounding states at least. (the 1790 reconstructed from the 1785 Virginia census.) Hint to others: If you go into Virginia, click on Index first....it is alphabetized and even that took about a half hour to come up!!!!

Looking for John Daniel Staley who registered in Black Hawk Co., Iowa for the WWI draft. Thanks! Eric

Hello List Members, Here is a little Christmas present from me to you. These two sites are great for research in these two separate areas. Regards, Virginia Evansville IN http://www.google.com/patents http://www.census.gov/prod/www/abs/decennial/1790.htm

I am looking for some of the old timers to tell what they may have recollection of when automatic train control came into being and when they first got the crossing lights. My grandfather was an inventor, and got his inventions patented. His name was George W. Gerlach. The inventions pertained to automatic train control. There was a patent infringement suit in the 1930's. He also invented/had patented (1,191,414) Safety Block Signal, and (1,135,574) Block Signal Control Safety Appliance for Locomotives. I am looking for any individuals who may be familiar with what he invented, who may have knowledge of this suit, and who would be willing to correspond about automatic train control history being made related to the railroad.

A Narrative History of The People of Iowa with SPECIAL TREATMENT OF THEIR CHIEF ENTERPRISES IN EDUCATION, RELIGION, VALOR, INDUSTRY, BUSINESS, ETC. by EDGAR RUBEY HARLAN, LL. B., A. M. Curator of the Historical, Memorial and Art Department of Iowa Volume IV THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY, Inc. Chicago and New York 1931 JOHN C. JORDAN, president of the Iowa National Bank at Ottumwa, is a member of a family that on the whole has supplied as much good material to the business affairs and citizenship of Iowa as any other that could be mentioned. His father was William A. Jordan, one of the Iowa pioneers who came from Indiana the year before Iowa Territory was admitted as a state. He had the qualifications of a school teacher, but in Iowa became a merchant at Lancaster, then the county seat of Keokuk County. Subsequently he was a merchant at Richland and later at Eddyville. William A. Jordan married Maria McGraw, who was born in Ohio, removing with her parents first to Indiana and later to Iowa, where settlement was made in Keokuk County. She died in 1910, at the age of eighty-one years. It was in 1868, sixty years ago, that the home and center of activies of the Jordan family were transferred to Ottumwa. William A. Jordan was a merchant at Ottumwa and acquired a wholesale boot and shoe business, which he subsequently turned over to his son Walter B. He lived in Ottumwa until his death in 1873, passing away at the age of fifty-four. All of his sons became prominent in business in Iowa and elsewhere. Their names were Walter B., Jacob W., Albert C., John C., Charles L. and William G. William A. Jordan also had six daughters, all of whom are married and living, as follows: May, wife of Ira A. Myers; Ada, Mrs. Ben W. Ladd; Ida, Mrs. George F. Hall; Kitt J., Mrs. Claude Myers; Inez, Mrs. M. B. Hutchison; and Eva, wife of Emmett R. Work. All the sons were keen, able men. Walter B. after leaving the business he had taken over from his father became a post trader in the Dakotas and Montana in the early '70s, and should properly be credited with having done much toward the founding of Miles City in the latter state. Later he was in business at Saint Paul and Minneapolis, and saw his sons prosperously fixed in the business life of those cities. Jacob W. Jordan was a merchant in Ottumwa until 1902, when he retired. He died in 1910. His brother, Albert C., left Ottumwa when a young man, lived at Marshalltown for a number of years, but died and is buried at Ottumwa. Charles L. Jordan was connected with the Jordan interests in Ottumwa, and died during the '80s. William G. Jordan was for some years in the wholesale drug business at Des Moines, and later in Minnesota was associated with his older brother in the wholesale grocery business. He is now living retired at Pasadena, California. John C. Jordan was reared and educated at Ottumwa, leaving school at the age of sixteen. He went to work in his father's establishment, and has had a consecutive connection with the commercial life of Ottumwa for over forty years. He has been president of the Iowa National Bank since 1904. Mr. Jordan has been a member of the city council and for twelve years on the school board. He was a Democrat until the free silver campaign of 1896, in which year he identified himself with the gold wing of the party and has since acted independently. He married in 1881 Miss Nellie Butler. They had four children: Ethel, wife of Merrill C. Gilmore; Oscar W., who died at the age of twenty-seven, in 1912; Charles B. and Frank R. The two younger sons enlisted and were in training at the time of the World war.

Hello again, Alternate spellings could be Kooleman, Kolman, Kooiman, maybe Coolman, and any could have a double "n" at the end. Thanks to all of you on the list that are helping with this brick wall. I can always count on the Iowa list to be a great assistance. I replied to the list yesterday with some additional information, but my message didn't go through.......I wonder why. So I tried to answer each of you separately with what you asked for. Here a little more that might be of help. Joseph has been found with his family in 1870 in Michigan. He was born 22 Mav. 1862 in Vriesland, Ottawa Co. Michigan. He first married Kittie McBride 12 May 1883 in Berrien Co MI. He next married Jennie Finner 12 Aug 1896 in El Paso Co. Colorado. I don't know of any children, but if the 1900 census could be located it might give that information. Catherine wrote: Sorry, Grace.

Jones, still a resident of Topeka, has spent a great many years in the service of the Rock Island Railway Company and is superintendent at Topeka. He is a Republican in politics, a member of the Masonic fraternity and Woodmen of the World, and both he and his wife, who is now deceased, were active in the Methodist Episcopal Church. They had a family of three sons: Dr. Cecil C.; Russell, connected with the Rock Island Railway at El Reno, Oklahoma; and Howard, a practicing attorney at Topeka. Cecil C. Jones attended school in Topeka, and came to Iowa for his professional training at the University of Iowa, from which he was graduated M. D. in 1920. For two years he was an interne in the State Hospital, and had one year of study abroad at Vienna, where he came under instruction and attended clinics for special training in eye, ear, nose and throat. His practice has been limited to his specialty. Doctor Jones has his offices in the Equitable Building at Des Moines. He is a member of the American Academy of Oto-Laryngology and is a member of the Polk County, Iowa State and American Medical Associations.

I found a Coleman that might be your family.....but not sure, as you gave no state of birth or age. This one, the man was born June 1874 and Jennie b. May 1877. I find it hard to read the man's name....it is indexed as Jessie, but there is scribble from the census counters over it, and it could conceivably be Joseph. Both he and wife Jennie born Maryland, married two years with a son, Dewey. Living in Denver, Arapaho County, Colorado in the 1900. If yours were born in Maryland, let me know and I can down load the census form and attach it to you. Jan Nelson
