Opened in 1851, The New York Juvenile Asylum merged with the Children's Village in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y. I recently acquired "A Day With Dr. Brooks" authored by Mary E. Dodge. It appeared in the December, 1870 issue of Scribner's Magazine, pgs. 36 - 58. It is a compelling story. I am putting it up in segments.

NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME II 1804-1926 G. W. Downs Among the residents of Palo Alto county who have gained enviable reputations because of their progressive and enterprising methods, and whose efforts have been rewarded with a goodly measure of success, stands George W. Downs, secretary of the Farmers Mutual Insurance Company of Palo Alto county and special agent for a number of other mutual insurance companies. Mr. Downs was born in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, on the 19th of July, 1853, and is a son of John and Mary S. (Kuhn) Downs, the father a native of Ireland and the mother of Westmoreland county. John Downs came to this country in young manhood and for a number of years was employed on the construction of the York & Erie Railroad. In 1854 he came west, locating in Allamakee county, Iowa, where he bought a tract of government land, on which in later years he engaged in farming. He lived in his seventy-fifth year, long surviving his wife who died at the comparatively early age of thirty-tow years. George W. Downs attended at the Upper Iowa University. He then engaged in teaching school for a number of years, after which he began farming. In 1878, with twelve or fifteen companions, he came to Palo Alto county, walking from Algona to Emmetsburg, the railroad not having yet been constructed through this locality. Their object was to secure work on the building of the railroad and Mr. Downs was so employed for one summer. During the period, he and his brother, James P., bought a quarter section of land near the town of Emmetsburg on the south, and they farmed this land in partnership for eighteen or twenty years. He then sold his interest to his brother and bought two hundred acres, located two miles west of his first farm. Later he added eighty acres to this tract and cultivated that place until 1915, when he moved into Emmetsburg, where he has since lived, though he still owns the farm. For a number of years before leaving the farm he had been actively interested in the Farmers mutual Insurance Company of Palo Alto County and in 1916 was made secretary of this company, for which reason he moved into the town in order to keep in closer touch with his office. From that time he has been a conspicuous figure in insurance circles of this locality, also representing other mutual insurance companies in this field. he is a man of sound and reliable judgment and is energetic and progressive in his methods, his record in the insurance business being one that reflects very creditably on him. In 1879 Mr. Downs was united in marriage to Miss Sarah J. Dungan, of Allamakee county, Iowa, and to them were born nine children, of which number eight survive, namely: Mary Irene, James F., Margaret C., Charles J., Leo A., Ruth Estella, Blanche I. and Harold D. Mr. Downs is a member of Palo Alto Lodge, No. 252, Knights of Pythias, and the Modern Woodman of America. His religious faith is that of the Roman Catholic church. He is a man of sterling character, takes a commendable interest in everything pertaining to the progress or the welfare of his locality and by his life and achievements he has merited the high place which he holds in the estimation of the public.

NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME II 1804-1926 Thomas Dealtry Probably no one identified with the live stock commission business in northwestern Iowa is more widely or favorably known than Thomas Dealtry, of Sioux City. With an intimate knowledge of every angle of the live stock business, not only locally, but nationally and internationally as well, he is unusually well equipped mentally for successfully handling the business which he represents, being particularly well qualified as an advisor. he has given long and close study to the live stock situation of the world and his analysis of conditions and his prognosis as to the future conditions of the market have invariably been found to be correct. For these reasons, as well as his sound business judgment and his sterling integrity, he has long held an enviable position as dean of the business in this section of the state. Thomas Dealtry was born in Madras, East India, October 11, 1860, and is a son of a minister who was serving in that country. When eight years of age he accompanied his parents on their return to England, where he attended the public schools and completed his education at Rugby. In 1880 he came to the United States, locating at LeMars, Iowa, where he paid one thousand dollars to Colonel Morton to learn the business of farming, being principally required to milk six cows morning and evening. In 1882 he joined with a Mr. Fullbrook and bought a farm, which they conducted under the firm name of Dealtry & Fullbrook. Later he engaged in the grain business at Morris and bought live stock throughout the district, having seven stations. In those early days prices were quite low, Mr. Dealtry recalling that when he landed at LeMars the best farm lands were selling at from five to fifteen dollars an acre,hogs form two and a half to three and a half cents a pound, cattle from two to four cents a pound, wheat from thirty to forty cents a bushel, corn at twenty cents and oats at fifteen cents a bushel. From 1890 to 1900 Mr. Dealtry was located at Adrian, Iowa, where he gained a wide reputation as a discriminating and successful livestock man. He was active in local affairs there and served as a member of the town council. In 1900 Mr. dealtry came to Sioux City and in January of that year organized the firm of Wood Brothers & Company, his partners being S. E. (Doc) Wood, James Wood and Dick Nash, the concern being formed as a branch house of Wood Brothers of Chicago, which had been established by S. E. and James Wood in 1867. During all these years after he first recognized the wonderful possibilities of the livestock business Mr. Dealtry kept closely in touch with the operations of his firm which he directed with a master hand up to November, 1925, at which time he severed his connection with this firm and organized the live stock commission firm of Dealtry & Gilman, which began business on january 1, 1926, with Mr. Dealtry as managing head of the business. In 1888, at Carbondale, Illinois, Mr. Dealtry was united in marriage to Miss Harriet Hill. He is a member of Tyrian Lodge, No. 508, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, and Sioux City Lodge, No. 112, Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. he was a charter member of the Prairie Club of LeMars and served several years on its board of directors. He is a member of the Sioux City Country Club, the Sioux City Boat Club and the Chamber of Commerce, and is a communicant of the Protestant Episcopal church. A man of kindly and genial manner, he nevertheless possesses a strong and forceful individuality, is a man of well defined opinions, with the courage of his convictions, and exerts a beneficent influence throughout his community, in the general welfare of which he has always maintained a deep interest. Because of his success, his public spirit and his affable and friendly manner, he is deservedly popular throughout the community.

Russell is in Lyon County, Minnesota. I'm not sure if there would be any other people in the household with Henry Ward Beecher HARDEN, but there are 2 possibilities for a wife: either Ida or Nettie/Nellie. Possible children in the household are Myra, Clifford, Halstead. All of the children were born in South Dakota, and would have ranged in age from probably 1 yr to about 10 yrs. Henry was b. New York, Ida in Iowa or New York and Nettie/ Nellie in Illinois. Thanks so much for your time.

NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME II 1804-1926 S. L. Cutshall To such men as Samuel L. Cutshall is the great state of Iowa indebted for its development and progress along agricultural lines, for he devoted many years of his life to improvement of his land, which he brought to a splendid state of productivity, and while he was advancing his individual interests he was at the same time contributing to the general prosperity and progress of the community in which he lived. Samuel L. Cutshall was born at Fort Wayne, Indiana, November 7, 1845, and is a son of Eli and Dorcas (Price) Cutshall, who were natives of Maryland and Pennsylvania respectively, and went to Indiana in an early day, the father devoting his attention to farming pursuits there until 1839. In 1855 he came to Iowa, locating in Buchanan county, where he continued farming during the remaining active years of his life. To him and his wife were born eleven children, of which number six are still living. Samuel L. Cutshall received his educational training in the public schools of Indiana and Iowa. He remained at home until October, 1863, when he enlisted in Company B, Fourth Regiment, Iowa Volunteer Cavalry, with which command he served until the close of the war, taking part in a number of hard-fought engagements, through which he came without injury. He was mustered out of the service at Atlanta, Georgia, August 8, 1865, and returned home, where he remained until his marriage, in 1870, when he rented a farm in Black Hawk county, Iowa, living there for two years. In the fall of 1871 he came to Clay county and took up a homestead of one hundred and sixty acres in Lake township, to which he later added eighty acres by purchase. he is still the owner of the two hundred and forty acres, all of which he improved, erecting a good set of farm buildings and otherwise making of it one of the best and most productive farms in that locality. In 1906 Mr. Cutshall moved to Dickens, where he bought ten acres of land, which he improved and on which he lived until 1915, when he sold that place and bought a nice home in Spencer, where he now resides, enjoying the fruits of his former years of earnest and well-directed effort. On March 10, 1870, Mr. Cutshall was united in marriage to Miss Janette Moyer, a native of Ohio, and daughter of Isaac and Betsy A. (Leach) Moyer. To them have been born eleven children, ten of whom are living as follows: A. B.; Mary D., the wife of Roy C. Swingley, of Minnesota; Fred B., who lives in California; Effie L., the wife of J. O. Davidson; Raymond L.; Samuel G., who lives in California; Ruby J., the wife of A. W. Johnson, of Montana; Inez Belle, at home; Eugene H., who lives on the Home farm; Laura P., the wife of Martin Peterson, of California; and William, who died when eight months old. Politically, Mr. Cutshall is a republican and has served as school treasurer and commissioner, as well as in other local offices. He is a member of Annett Post, No. 124, G. A. R., and he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal church. He has been true and loyal in every relation of life and has so ordered his actions as to command the unqualified respect of his fellow citizens.

Below is a section of this chapter. The whole chapte is on the Iowa History Site. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ STORIES OF IOWA FOR BOYS AND GIRLS THE INDIAN AT HOME Before the Black Hawk War few white people lived in Iowa. Only Indians lived in teh villages which the traveller found here and there on the prairie or in the timber by the lakes and rivers. There were no churches, no factories, and no school buildings in these Indians villages. There were only the tepees or wickiups of the Indians, the only paving was the prairie grass, the only lights were the camp fires. The Indians who lived in Iowa used both the tepee and the wickiup as homes. The tepee, as you know, was made by tying a number of long poles together at the top and then covering this frame with skins stretched tight. The Sauk and Fox Indians lived in houses called wickiups. They made these by bending light poles over to form a framework and covering this with woven mats, sheets of bark, or skins. These wickiups had a rounded top and were shaped something like a haystack. Perhaps you have seen some of these wickiups near Tama. Many of the Indians there still prefer to live in their native lodges, although they now also have frame houses.

Hello, listers!! It has come to my attention that although I had thought that Henry Ward Beecher HARDEN lived in Iowa until approx. 1900, he may have already been in Minnesota by 1895.

HARDEN there and am wondering if one of you could check this for me to see what other names are listed in the area or in that household for the surname HARDEN.

XII ISSUED IN SEPTEMBER 1931 NO. 9 COPYRIGHT 1931 BY THE STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF IOWA Written by N. Tjernagel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Sheldall School The Sheldall School in Scott Township was the first public institution of learning in southern Hamilton County. Pupils came from adjacent townships and from the northern part of Story County as well. Being the only public building in the vicinity, it was frequently used for church services, elections, and other meetings of public character. The schoolhouse took its name from Lars Sheldall who owned the site where it was built in 1860. the building was erected by Lars Henryson. Most of the material used in its construction consisted of native timber brought from the Skunk River woods. The sills and joists were hewn from oak logs, and the framework, also of oak, was fashioned in the required dimensions in Dan McCarthy's sawmill near Story City.

Being new to genealogy is not one of the 7 cardinal sins. We all had to learn to crawl before we could walk. But I would ask how you trace back to this Albert Householder as your gg-gfather since he was still single in 1880 and you have nothing after that. The 1860 John Householder may be your family. I found the twins Amanda & James in 1850 but that's another story. Dick May you live to be a hundred, with an extra year to repent!

I can find him in the 1870 Census and the 1880 census living with a family by the name of Ino or John Dumass in Sweet Home township, Clark county in Missouri, which is very close to Lee County Iowa. I have no other information on him and I do not have any idea why he would be living with this other family. There is a John Householder family in the 1860 census in Lee county but they do not show a baby living with them, and after that I cannot find them again. I am really new to genealogy and would appreciate any help, tips or leads you can give me. > > > >

NORTHWESTERN IOWA ITS HISTORY AND TRADITION VOLUME II 1804-1926 C. C. Collester Dr. Charles C. Collester, a physician of high reputation, is worthily following in the professional footsteps of his father and for thirteen years has engaged in practice at Spencer. He was born November 6, 1885, in Pierre, South Dakota, and is a son of Dr. Joseph C. and Laura (Chapman) Collester, both natives of Wellington, Ohio. The father is a man of varied talents and has achieved success in the fields of literature, education and medicine. He was superintendent of the public schools of Pierre and in 1889 came to Spencer. He was long numbered among th leading medical practitioners of Clay county and since his retirement from the profession has lived in Whittier, California. He has two children: Clara, who is the wife of Lloyd C. Jones, of Sheldon, North Dakota; and Charles C. Dr. Collester obtained his early education in Spencer, completing his high school course in 1905, and then matriculated in the University of Iowa, which he attended for three years. He next entered the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia and was graduated with the class of 1909. For eighteen months he was house surgeon at Delaware Hospital in Wilmington, Delaware, and this was followed by a year's post-graduate work in London, England. Well equipped for his profession, Dr. Collester returned to Spencer in 1912 and an extensive practice is indicative of the confidence reposed in his skill. On June 30, 1913, Dr. Collester married Miss Ethel Lewis, of Cleveland, Ohio, and they now have two children, Marion and Madeline. The Doctor is allied with the republican party and has attained the thirty-second degree in the Masonic order. Realizing the importance of his mission, he is constantly striving to perfect himself in his profession and renders to his fellow citizens that service which only the experienced medical practitioner is capable of giving.
