No connection as yet. It took me 20 years to show a connection to Iowa. I've been told there was another family which also moved there of which I wasn't aware, so I'll be tracing back through my data for links. I can't find a town called Hasenkassel and I would think Hessen-Kassel would be a better fit. My family is supposed to be from a town in Hessen-Darmstadt but there is a town of the same name in Hessen-Kassel. I'll be working on both possibilities. I haven't come across Justus Krug previously that I recall but can't put my hands on my early German lists at the moment. I think I put them somewhere where they wouldn't get lost. I'll try to locate them later. I would be interested in any more you may have on the Justuc K family. I'm building a new Krug web site to connect all the various Krug data and try to establish some common links. The new site is at http://krug.gensites.com I'm evaluating some genealogy programs this week and next and should be ready to go in a couple of weeks. Some of the programs are at: http://krug.gensites.com/ged4/index.php http://krug.gensites.com/ged2/index.php http://krug.gensites.com/ged1/genealogy.php I'll be looking for input into the site and maybe we can solve some of our brickwalls.

That missing image thing on Ancestry use to drive me nuts until I figured out that the enumerator did not copy the name to the next page and so it is not index. So be sure to look for the sur [if you see those ___ ] name in the county and then you just might get lucky.

Hi, Colette, He's a 16-year-old hired man on the John McLaughlin farm, and no first name is listed for him. He is born in Iowa, parents in Ireland, same as John McLaughlin, so I'm guessing they're related. If you would like the census image, e-mail me directly.

NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME II 1804-1926 DANIEL MELTER For fifty-five years a resident of Rock township, Daniel Melter is thoroughly familiar with events that have shaped the history of the district during this period, and as one of its pioneer agriculturists and useful citizens he is widely known and highly esteemed. He was born October 16, 1843, in Stark county, Ohio, and his parents, Michael and Eva C. (Dean) Melter, were natives of Germany. In 1835 they came to the United States and for a number of years the father followed the trade of a carpenter in Ohio. Subsequently he settled on a farm in Wisconsin and the mother passed away in that state in 1870. After her demise he migrated to Iowa, where he spent the remainder of his life, responding to death's summons in 1895. Mr. Melter is the only surviving member of a family of six children. He attended the rural schools near his father's farm and remained at home until 1864, when he enlisted in Company D of the Forty-fifth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. He served until the close of the Civil war, gallantly defending the Union cause, and was mustered out on July 17, 1865. he returned to Wisconsin and engaged in farming in the Badger state for three years. In 1869 he came to Iowa and lived for a year in Black Hawk county. In March, 1870, he moved to Cherokee county and purchased a tract of one hundred and sixty acres, which he still owns. He was one of the early settlers in this district and has experienced the various phases of life on the frontier, watching with interest the onward march of civilization in the west. In the work of development he has borne his full share and through unabating effort, wise management and the exercise of the qualities of patience and perseverance has converted his private property into a public asset. he takes justifiable pride in his farm, which is supplied with many modern improvements and ranks with the best in the township. In 1868 Mr. Melter married Miss Mary Spinharney, a native of Wisconsin. Death severed their union in 1918 and her remains were laid to rest in the Cherokee Oak Hill cemetery. She had become the mother of seven children: Fred W., who was the first white child born in Rock township and now makes his home in Cherokee; Rose, the wife of William Frambach, of Boise, Idaho; one who died in infancy; Edwin, who lives in South Dakota; Bertha, the wife of C. Johnson, of Danbury, Iowa; Maggie, now Mrs. William Huber; and Stephen, a resident of Cherokee. Mr. Melter has sixteen grandchildren and one great-grandchild and in their society renews his youth. He is a stanch republican in his political views and his public spirit had been demonstrated by both word and deed. He was a member of the school board for some time and was the first clerk of Rock township, of which he was also assessor. Along fraternal lines he is connected with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, belonging to Cherokee Lodge, No. 188. Mr. Melter is a self-made man, deserving of all the praise which the term implies, and at the venerable age of eighty-two years is enjoying eh prosperity earned by honest toil. His record is an unblemished one and commands for him the highest admiration and respect.

I'm new on the list. I'm gathering all information about the family Oldenkamp sometimes Oldencamp too. Around 1880 some Oldenkamps emigrated to Hospers, Iowa as far as I know. In 1991 I published the Oldenkamp-book. Among them emigrated. Jans Oldenkamp, born Smilde, The Netherlands 1853, grainfarmer, died Cherokee about 1919. Married Hospers, Iowa 27 Aug 1889, divorced possible Conrad, Montana after 1909, Ada Wierda, born Wymbritseradeel, The Netherlands 1865, died Medford, Oregon 1936. They had as far as I know 7 children. 1. Fijkje, born Orange City 17 Apr 1890. 2. Dirkje, born Orange City 26 Dec 1896. 3. Dirk, born Iowa about 1899. 4. Boukje/Bertha, born 1 Sept 1899. 5.

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, September 6, 1906 The County board of supervisors made their visit of inspection to the county farm, Tuesday, and by invitation was accompanied by the Leader editor. There are at present twenty-one inmates of the house, including the incurable insane recently returned from Clarinda. Superintendent NISWENDER and wife keep the premises in remarkably tidy order and the interior of the house is so clean that it suggests the most pains taking care. An inspection of the entire building revealed the fact that this condition obtained throughout the entire institution, and it is truly a "home" for the unfortunates under the present management. People over the county should visit the farm more than they do and at any time they will find a welcome by MR. and MRS. NISWENDER. There are no sick at the present time and the methods for diversion are varied. The crops on the farm are good and the stock look thrifty and things generally are in good repair. The building for habitation has been erected something over two years and has stood the test well. The brick walls have settled on their foundations without breaks and have justified the architectural calculations. The interior finishings stand as a warrant to good workmanship and taken as a whole this charity establishment is a pride to the public. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert October 31, 2004 iggy29@rnetinc.net http://www.rootsweb.com/~ialucas/Main.htm

NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME II 1804-1926 J. T. MARTIN Among the men who are contributing to the prosperity and commercial welfare of Sioux City stands Jules T. Martin, vice-president of the T. S. Martin Company, which owns one of the leading business houses of this city. From young manhood he has devoted himself to this business and takes a justifiable pride in the concern of which he is an official member. Mr. Martin was born in Sioux City, on the 20th of July, 1889, and is a son of Thomas Samuel Martin, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this work, and who was the founder of the great business which now bears his name. Jules T. Martin attended the public schools of Sioux City, and the Tome Preparatory School, at Port Deposit, Maryland. He then spent two years in the University of Wisconsin, following which he returned home and was admitted to the firm of T. S. Martin & Company. In January, 1915, he was made a director and secretary-treasurer of the company, and on August 19, 1915, he became vice president, which position he still holds. He thoroughly understands every phase of the department store business and in a large measure has been responsible for the wonderful growth of the business. In 1917 Mr. Martin was married to Miss Jessie Marguerite Reid, of Brimingham, Michigan, and they are the parents of a daughter, Margaret Ann. Mr. Martin is a member of Sioux City Lodge No. 112, Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, the Sioux City County Club and the Chamber of Commerce. His religious connection is with the Blessed Sacrament Roman Catholic church. Personally he is a man of forceful individuality, possessing to a marked degree those attributes which commend a man to the favor of his fellowmen, and he is active and influential in affairs affecting the welfare and progress of his city and community.

NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME II 1804-1926 J. E. MARTIN Among the leading department stores of Sioux City is that of the T. S. Martin Company, which was established by the father of J. Earle Martin in 1890, has enjoyed a steady and substantial growth through the years, and is now, with the magnificent building which houses it, one of the landmarks of the city. J. Earle Martin, now president of T. S. Martin Company, has literally grown up in the business and has gained a place in the front rank of the progressive and enterprising business men of the community. He was born in Sioux City on the 27th of August, 1884, and is a son of Thomas Samuel Martin, ow whom an extended sketch appears elsewhere in this work. After completing his preliminary education in the public schools of this city, he attended Christian Brothers College, at St. Louis, and then took a commercial course in the Sioux City Business College. From the age of twelve years he had spent his vacations and other leisure time in his father's store and at the age of eighteen he formally began an apprenticeship in merchandising under the wise direction of his father, the ensuing seven years being spent in learning every detail of the business, from the ground up. In 1909 he was taken into partnership and shortly thereafter the business was incorporated as T. S. Martin Company, prior to which time it had been operated under the firm name of T. S. Martin & Company. In 1911 he was elected a director and treasurer of the company, serving in that capacity until January, 1915, when he was made vice president, while at the same time his brother, Jules T. Martin, was made a director and elected secretary-treasurer. On the reorganization of the company, August 19, 1915, caused by the death of the father, J. Earle Martin, was made president of the corporation, Jules T. became vice president, and another brother, Howard V. Martin, became a director and secretary-treasurer, which respective positions they still hold. On January 1, 1925, the T. S. Martin Realty Company (formerly the T. S. Martin Estate) was incorporated for a million dollars, with the same officers as the T. S. Martin Company. In 1918 the T. S. Martin Estate built the Orpheum theater and in 1919 the new T. S. Martin store building was erected, at an approximate cost of one million dollars. The building itself is a model of architecture as well as efficiency, containing a every convenience known to the most modern stores. It is absolutely fireproof, with an automatic sprinkler system, and has attracted wide attention, architects and builders from distant parts of the country coming to see it. It is built of buff brick, trimmed in white, is six stories high, with full basement, and is said to be the finest equipped department store west of Chicago. Over six hundred employees attend to the needs of the buying public and everything required in any home can be bought here. Sioux City is justifiably proud of this great store and of the men who are so ably managing it. On August 9, 1910, J. Earle Martin was united in marriage to Miss Helen Ross, daughter of Dr. Grant J. Ross, one of Sioux City's eminent physicians, and they are the parents of three children, Mariette, J. Earle, Jr., and Thomas Ross. Mr. Martin is a member of Sioux City Lodge, No. 112, Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, of the Sioux City Country Club, the Sioux City Commercial Club and the Knights of Columbus. He and his family are communicants of the Blessed Sacrament Roman Catholic Church. Mr. Martin's marked success in the business world has been gained by close attention to the interests entrusted to him, and by an honorable and consistent course he has long held an enviable place among the representative business men of the community. He has always maintained a deep interest in whatever has tended to promote the prosperity and welfare of his city and is held in the highest esteem by all who know him.

NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME II 1804-1926 H. V. MARTIN One of the outstanding business successes of Sioux City is the great department store of T. S. Martin Company, of which Howard V. Martin is a director and secretary-treasurer. From boyhood he has been identified with this business and has had a part in its later success, devoting himself closely to its interests. A man of sterling qualities and marked business ability, he has won a high place in the estimation of his business associates and throughout the community he commands universal confidence and regard. Mr. Martin was born in Sioux City on the 6th day of June, 1893, and is a son of Thomas Samuel Martin, who was for many years an honored resident of Sioux City and who established the business with which his sons are now identified. Howard V. Martin attended the public schools of this city and graduated from the Tome Preparatory School at Port Deposit, Maryland, after which he was for two years at Wharton School, of the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia. He returned home on the death of his father, August 9, 1915, and on the reorganization of the T. S. Martin Company, ten days later, he was made a director and secretary-treasurer of the company, in consequence of which he did not return to school. During his boyhood years he had worked in his father's store during vacations and on Saturdays and while attending school in Philadelphia he had worked afternoons and other spare time in John Wanamaker's store, so that he had gained a practical insight into department store methods. He has ably filled the position which he holds and not a little of the prosperity which the firm enjoys has been due to his devotion and conscientious efforts. He is also a director and secretary-treasurer of the T. S. Martin Realty Company. On June 28, 1917, Mr. Martin was united in marriage to Miss Leone Weston, of Hardington, Nebraska, a daughter of W. S. Weston, now vice president of the Peters Trust Company, of Omaha, Nebraska. To this union has been born a daughter, Mildred. Mr. Martin is a member of the Knights of Columbus, the Sioux City County Club and of the Chamber of Commerce. He is a member of the Cathedral of the Epiphany Roman Catholic church and Mrs. Martin is a member of the Presbyterian church. He has been true and loyal in every relation of life, is public spirited in his attitude towards all movements for the betterment of his community and has a host of warm and loyal friends.

Looking for family of Conrad Krug and Eva Catherina Buchanau. Emigrated from Canada to Iowa (possibly Cerro Gordo area) in mid-to-late 1860's. J Krug

J. Ages & nativities of all known family members are usually more beneficial than where they were coming from. I find a Conrad & Anna C. Krug, 46 & 50 both born Ger. in 1880 Falls twp, Cerro Gordo co. Sons Henry 19, & Peter 16 are indicated as born Canada, The moppet, Wm. M. 6 is indicated as born Ia. I do not find them in 1870 and young Wm's age would suggest they may have arrived later than you indicated. The 1880 is free on-line at Ancestry and FamilySearch.org.

NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME II 1804-1926 W. C. MARSH William C. Marsh, a Union veteran, has resided in Cherokee county for fifty years, bearing his share in the work of development and progress, and Aurelia numbers him among its honored pioneers. He was born March 31, 1840, in Clinton county, New York, and is the fourth in a family of six children. The others were Julia, Madison and Emily, all of whom are deceased; Nancy A., who has also passed away; and Susannah, a resident of Armour, South Dakota. Their parents were Lyman and Polly (Comstock) Marsh, the former a native of Massachusetts and the latter of Vermont. Mr. Marsh came to the middle west in his youth and was a student at Lawrence University of Appleton, Wisconsin. He engaged in farming until 1862 and on August 2 enlisted in Company B, of the Thirty-second Wisconsin Infantry. He was discharged in March, 1863, and returned to Wisconsin. In the summer of that year he went to Chicago for the purpose of attending the bryant & Stratton Business College and after completing his course entered the employ of the government in the capacity of chief issuing clerk. His duties took him from Ringgold, Georgia, to Atlanta and a year later he was sent to Louisville, Kentucky, thence to Baltimore, Maryland. There he took a steamer for Savannah, Georgia, passing around Cape Hatteras, and after reaching his destination found that General Sherman had already departed with his command. Mr. Marsh then returned to New Bern, North Carolina, where he remained until June, 1865, aiding in the work of repairing the railroads, after which he took a tug to Fortress Monroe, Monroe, Virginia, and went from there to Baltimore by steamer. In October, 1875, he came to Cherokee county, Iowa, and a year later built the first hotel in Aurelia. He conducted the business for two years and then began speculating in farms. He also embarked in the grain business, operating an elevator in this locality, and prospered in all of his undertakings. He displayed wisdom and foresight in making his investments and his plans were carefully formulated and promptly executed. Mr. Marsh married Miss Frances Hubbard, who passed away October 7, 1918, and eight children were born to them: one who died in infancy; Grace, also deceased; Edith, at home; Lyman, deceased; Winnie, who is the wife of Bert Wilson, of Prince Rupert, British Columbia; William C., who lives in Aurelia, Iowa; Ethel, who married C. W. Persons, of Aurelia; and Mrs. Lula Royer, of Cherokee. Mr. Marsh is allied with the republican party and was twice honored with the majoralty by his fellow townsmen. He was also elected county supervisor and made an excellent record in both offices. His record as postmaster is notable. Appointed to the office, he served for four years and three months, after which President Cleveland appointed another to the position, but in ten days less than a year Mr. Marsh was returned to the office and served constantly for nineteen years and one month - a fact which indicates clearly his ability and fidelity in the position. He is a Knight Templar Mason and belongs to Custer Post, No. 25, of the Grand Army of the Republic. He has been loyal to every trust reposed in him and faithful to every duty. He has always dealt honorably with his fellowmen and at the venerable age of eighty-five years can look back upon a well spent life, enjoying the respect that is ever accorded the citizen of worth.

NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME II 1804-1926 J. P. MANSMITH The business career of J. P. Mansmith has been closely identified with the commercial growth and prosperity of Arnolds Park, Dickinson county, where he has for a number of years successfully conducted a flourishing mercantile business, while at the same time he has taken a commendable interest in the general welfare and progress of the community. Born at Hartley, Iowa, on the 9th of February, 1888, he is a son of John C. and Julia Ann (Paul) Mansmith, the former a native of Ohio and the latter of Illinois. They were married at Marshalltown, Iowa, to which state their respective families had come in early pioneer days, making the journey from the east in the typical covered wagons of that day. Both families settled on land in O'Brien county, where the young people were reared to maturity and married. After his marriage, John C. Mansmith bought six hundred and forty acres of land from George W. Skee, the gentleman who later donated American flags which he had placed on every schoolhouse in Iowa. Mr. Mansmith still owns three hundred and twenty acres of this land, which is located two miles east of Hartley, but for the past nineteen years has been retired from active affairs and is living in Hartley. J. P. Mansmith attended the public schools, graduating from the high school at Hartley, and at the age of fourteen entered on an apprenticeship to learn the mercantile business, serving as clerk and utility boy in a store at Hartley. He remained with his first employer three years and was employed as a clerk in different stores in Hartley for nine years. On January 1, 1911, at Arnolds Park, he became a clerk in the general mercantile store of A. L. Peck, with whom he remained two years, and in 1913 he opened a store of his own here, in which he has enjoyed a very gratifying success, doing a volume of business that would only be expected in a city of much larger size. He has devoted himself assiduously to his affairs, in all of which he has shown keen judgment and wise discrimination, and his success has been well merited. Mr. Mansmith was one of the organizers and is now vice president and a director of the Arnolds Park Savings Bank. In 1909, Mr. Mansmith was united in marriage to Miss Lela Mentzer, of Springville, Iowa, and to them has been born a son, Paul David, a student in high school. Fraternally Mr. Mansmith is a member of Gloaming Lodge, No. 482, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of Milford; Spirit Lake Chapter, No. 132, Royal Arch Masons; Okoboji Lodge No. 429, Knights of Pythias, at Milford; and the Brotherhood of American Yeomen. He has at all times evinced a commendable interest in local public affairs and has served eleven years continuously as a member of the town council of Arnolds Park and has served as treasurer of the school board for the past seven years. His religious membership is with the Methodist Episcopal church at Hartley, and he is also an associate member of the undenominational church at Arnolds Park, to both of which organizations he gives generous support. He is a man of active and energetic manner, sound and reliable in his business methods, and keenly alive to the highest and best interests of the community. Personally he is a man of genial and kindly manner and enjoys an enviable standing throughout the district honored by his citizenship.
