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 LEWIS W. ROSS, a pioneer member of the Pottawattamie County bar and former chancellor of the law department of the University of Iowa, was born October 15, 1827, in Hanover Township, Butler County, Ohio, a son of Amos Ross and a grandson of Ezekiel Ross, both of whom were natives of Essex County, New Jersey, whence they moved to Butler County, Ohio, in 1814. Upon the home farm Lewis W. Ross was reared, and there remained until his twentieth year. He was educated in the country schools and in 1848 entered Farmer's College, near Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was a student until 1850. He then matriculated in Miami University at Oxford, Ohio, where he was graduated in June, 1852. After leaving college he took up the study of law in Hamilton, Ohio, reading for two years under Joseph Scott and N. C. McFarland, the former of whom was afterward for many years one of the Supreme judges of the State of Ohio, while the latter served under President Arthur as commissioner of the general land office. Mr. Ross was admitted to the bar in 1854 and entered upon active practice in Hamilton, Ohio, where he remained until August, 1856. He then came to Iowa, settling in Cass County, an din January, 1861, he removed to Council Bluffs, where he continued to reside until his death, save for the period when he was a member of the faculty of the State University at Iowa City. He immediately rose to the front rank in the legal profession of the city and state and also became active in public life. For many years he was master in chancery. He was elected to the State Senate as a member of the Tenth and Eleventh General Assemblies, and during that period was a member of the judiciary and public land committees. His record as a senator was one which established his public spirit, his patriotism and his unfaltering devotion to the general welfare, while his legal knowledge and ability as a member of the bar were much in demand, not only as a member of the judiciary committee but in other connections, his counsel being frequently sought by contemporary members of the Senate. In 1861 he was elected a trustee of the Iowa State University for a term of four years and was reelected in 1868. For many years he was closely associated with advanced educational interests, of which he was ever a stalwart champion. In 1874 he was elected a regent of the State University for a term, of six years and in 1880 was made resident professor of the law department of the university and removed to Iowa City. In 1881 he became chancellor of the law department of the University and continued in that capacity until 1887, when he returned to Council Bluffs, and once more entered upon the private practice of his profession. During all the years of his association with the State University he labored untiringly to elevate its standards, and his influence was far-reaching and beneficial in that connection. He believed that the training should give a practical working basis for success in after life and that no labor or expense should be spared that would contribute to this end. While his ideals were high, his efforts were at all times practical and resultant. As trustee and regent he worked hard for the development of the university and was largely instrumental in organizating the law, medical and homeopathic-medical departments. During his seven years as professor and chancellor he taught, with other subjects, equity, real property, torts, common law and code pleading. He was very capable and successful as an instructor and was greatly beloved by his students. He not only had the ability to impart clearly and readily to others the knowledge he had acquired but he also had the faculty of winning the confidence of his students, who recognized his sympathetic understanding and profited by his ever-ready word of encouragement and counsel. As chancellor of the law department he was the responsible head of the faculty, composed of men eminent as jurists, lawyers and teachers, and it is worthy of note that the most perfect harmony prevailed between him and the other members of the faculty at all times. He had in his make-up the qualities of a diplomat, yet never deviated from a course which he believed to be right, nor did he fail to express himself clearly upon any vital subject. After his return to Council Bluffs Mr. Ross resumed practice in partnership with his son, Dillon Ross, under the firm name of Ross & Ross, which association continued until his death. He made a specialty of equity and real estate law, and was recognized as one of the foremost authorities in those branches of practice in the state. In 1855 Mr. Ross was united in marriage to Miss Zoe M. Brown, of Lebanon, Ohio, and to them were born five children, Charles, Hester, Edith, Anna and Dillon. Mrs. Ross died February 9, 1914. Mr. Ross was a man of noble character who was loved and respected not only by the members of his own family, but by a legion of friends. The young man and especially the young law student always knew that his friendship could be counted upon. He was looked upon as one in whom the young man could confide, ask for advice and receive wise counsel, encouragement and inspiration. He was ever ready to extend a helping hand to the younger members of the profession, and many a one has reason to hold him in grateful remembrance because of kindly assistance in word and deed. He was ever a stanch Republican but not a politician. He look upon politics not as a game to be played but as a exercise of the divine right of franchise. He labored untiringly for purity in politics, for he was a lover of his country and a patriot in all that the word implies. He was in the truest sense of the term a scholar and a man of literary tastes. His home and his church were dominant interests in his life, and aside, too, from his political affairs, he devoted considerable time to the Council Bluffs Club, of which he was the founder and president. He was a pioneer member of the Pottawattamie County Bar Association and one of its foremost representatives. A life long member of the Congregational Church, during the forty years of his residence in Council Bluffs he was one of the leading workers and supporters of the First Congregational Church of this city, serving on its various boards having to do with its business management, and was an active factor in the promotion of its spiritual life. His personal life was spotless and his influence for good and for morality was felt by all with whom he came in contact. His home life was ideal. Culture in its highest sense was there manifest and there was radiated an atmosphere of refinement. Death called him November 22, 1902, and the regret felt at his passing was state-wide. Of him his many friends have said: "He was a man. Take him for all in all. I shall not look upon his like again."

During the World war he was with the air service and was overseas in France seventeen months. He received his honorable discharge in April, 1919. On locating at Oakland, Mr. Ross bought an interest in teh Citizens State Bank, and has since been in active control of that institution, holding the office of cashier. He is also a stockholder in the Oakland Savings Bank. Mr. Ross married, in 1922, Miss Muriel C. Smith, who was born at Oakland and attended school there and the Westlake School for Girls at Los Angeles. Her father, Dr. Ralph G. Smith, was a native of Perth, Ontario, Canada, and for many years was the outstanding physician in Oakland, where he died in June, 1921. Mrs. Ross' grandfather, W. H. Freeman, was an early settler at Oakland, a farmer and stock man, and was the founder of the State Bank. Mr. and Mrs. Ross have one daughter, Elizabeth Ann, born in 1925. Mrs. Ross is a member of the Christian Church, while he is affiliated with the Congregational denomination. For two years he held the office of worshipful master in the local lodge of Masons and is a Republican in politics.

Hi All, I have found the posts very interesting to read. There certainly was a time when female teachers had to give up work once they married here in Australia & also in England, also any others who were employed by government departments also had to give up their jobs as soon as they married. It is not so long ago that the "woman's place is in the home" was the general belief of not only employers & the male population but also a large portion of the female population as well. There was a stigma attached to any man who had a wife working that he was seen as not capable of supporting her as he should, which meant that even if she could keep her job after marriage quite often her husband would demand that she quit anyway. I don't know much about when changes of attitudes & laws in USA happened but here are some for Australia, many in the not too distant past at all. Even with laws in place there is still today the attitude that a married woman is only marking time until she starts a family & isn't to be taken seriously as a career woman. 1883 Married Women's Property Act, South Australia: allowed married women to own and dispose of property. 1885 First woman graduate from Sydney University. 1890 Constance Stone become the first registered female doctor in Australia. She studied overseas as she had been refused entry to Melbourne University. 1894 South Australian women get the vote. 1902 White women gain the right to vote in Federal elections. Edna Evans graduated in law from Sydney University. She was not allowed to practice until 1918. 1907 Harvester case: Justice Higgins awards women 54% of male basic wage. 1912 Women doctors allowed to practice in a Sydney hospital. 1916 Testator's Family Maintenance and Guardianship Infants Act: widow's were allowed automatic guardianship of their children. 1921 Edith Cowan becomes the first woman in Parliament (West Australian Lower House). 1932 Married Women (Lecturers and Teachers) Act (NSW) Women had to resign from permanent teaching positions upon marriage. 220 women immediately dismissed from Dept of Public Instruction. 1943 Enid Lyons becomes the first woman elected to Federal Lower House of Parliament. 1947 Married Women (Lecturer's and Teachers) Act (NSW) repealed. 1950 Female basic wage set at 75 % of male wage. 1958 Concept of equal pay between the sexes to be implemented by 1963. 1961 Australian women get access to the Pill. 1965 Rona Mitchell becomes the first female Supreme Court judge. 1966 Bar on employment of married women as permanent employees in the Commonwealth Public Service lifted. 1967 A referendum is passed allowing Aboriginal women (and men to be citizens) = voting rights and Census. 1969 Concept of equal pay for equal work to be implemented by 1972. 1972 First rape crisis centre established. 1972 Equal pay for work of equal value to be phased in by 1975. 1973 Supporting Mother's Benefit introduced. 1974 National Wage Case sets an equal female minimum wage. 1975 International Women's Year. Family Law Act brings in 'no fault' divorce. 1976 Criminal Law Consolidation Act makes rape in marriage a criminal offence. 1979 Debra Wardley won the right to be employed as a pilot with Ansett in the Victorian Equal Opportunities Board. 1981 Pat O' Shane first Aboriginal barrister, becomes first woman to head a government department. 1984 Sex Discrimination Act passed by Federal Parliament. 1985 Australian Conciliation and Arbitration Commission affirmed equal pay case of 1972 but rejected the notion of comparable worth. 1987 Justice Mary Gaudron first woman appointed to the High Court. 1988 First female pilots in the RAAF graduated. 1990 Joan Kirner (Victoria) and Carmen Lawrence (West Australia) become first women state premiers. 1991 First female president of the Law Institute in its 132 history.

This is a website about the Iowa county schools preservation. There are lists of schools that can be visited and I'm sure Bill Sherman would be interested in the stories. Pat http://www.iowapreservation.org/schools.php

During the time of the early polio injections, we lived in southern CA and my mother would not let my brother and I receive them because she said "some kids got polio from the shots." So she had us wait until the tri-Sabin polio drops were given on sugar cubes!! That was the part I hated the most -- the sugar cube--as you can tell I did not like super-sweet candy. I do remember, before the polio shots, that we were told never to walk in the dirty water that ran down our street in the gutter. I got the impression that polio was mostly a summer disease--don't know this for sure! I thought that was because in the summer we went without shoes and maybe could 'catch" polio that way with our bare feet. In 1969, I was a medical assistant at a pediatrician's office. He was an older doctor who used the glass syringes and metal needles. Disposable syringes was just coming out and he only used them for the MMR injections as they were preloaded. All the rest of the time I used the glass syringes and metal needles to give the kids their injections - (Doctor said "you don't say 'shots' as it could scare the child.") The needles were not large at all for kids but maybe to a child they looked HUGE! I did have to sharpen them often because 'barbs' would develop on the needle and then they really did hurt! I sure enjoyed all the 'talking' about polio injections and the one-room schoolhouses. My grandmother, born in 1902, graduated from Normal School (teacher's college) and taught for awhile in South Dakota. She said she was very excited about doing this. Other than that I don't know anything else--sure wish I had talked to her more about that.

How do you know The sr. Thomas was not a citizen of the U.S. Shirley? Even if he never filed papers, I believe he waould have been granted citizenship by marrying a citizen. There is a publication "Immigration And Naturalization Records", authored by P. William Philby. (Huge tome, several supplements) Might try scoping that out. But there were several major & minor ports on the eastern seaboard of the U.S. & Canada. Many ship's manifests were never archived and for those that were, many were not indexed or easily available.

I have an 1874 issue of Annals of Iowa, and thought I'd share this interesting story about early marriage practices along the Des Moines river: "For many years in the early days of Iowa, Squire Bedell, who lived a few miles above St. Francisville on the Des Moines river, was the Gretna Green for all southern Iowa. No license was then required in Missouri to authorize a justice of the peace to solemnize matrimony. All that was required was for the justice to make a return to the county court of the fact. This was sometimes done, but often neglected. Bedell was a rough, early settler, and did a large business in the marrying line. Some went to him to save expense, others for the fun of it, and others again to escape parental wrath. Bedell was always on the look-out, and the moment that he saw a couple approaching on the other side of the river, he would man his boat and cross the river to meet them. On one occasion the river was full of floating ice, on the Missouri side, but the ice bore the matrimonially inclined couple from the Iowa side to the middle of the river. Bedell said that would do, and married them, standing on shore and they on the middle of the river on the ice, the squire loosing his fee, and the pair loosing the usual treat always provided by the squire. Bedell said that there was not much pay in the thing, but a great deal of fun." I can't imagine getting married standing on the ice flow in the middle of the Des Moines River! mk

I don't know about ironing underwear but my grandmother (she's 88) still irons her bed sheets. I lived with her while I was going to high school and I can tell you there is nothing like slipping into freshly washed, line dried and ironed sheets. A few months ago she gave me the little white cotton shirts (they look like long sleeved night gowns) that my dad and uncle wore as infants. My dad was born in 46 and my uncle in 39 or 40. She said she "warshed" and ironed them every day and they look brand spanking new.

Is anyone out there descended from or have an interest in the family of Jay Edwards of Des Moines, Polk County? He was born in Iowa in 1857. Parents were Hiram EDWARDS and Margaret "Maggie" Jane Smith. (I have names of many of their ancestors if anyone is interested.) I'm trying to locate descendants of Jay and his wife, Bessie (Mullin) Edwards. They had daughters Thelma, Dorothy, and Doris, born 1921, 1924, and 1925, and a son who was called "Junior." Jay and my dad were cousins and used to hunt together. They must have descendants and some of them may be interested in genealogy? Would love to share information about the MILLER and SMITH side of the family and maybe fill in some gaps in the family tree. Who did the girls marry? What about "Junior"? Bessie had been married before and had a daughter named Irene Hayes who was a little older than the Edwards children. Jeanne SURBER

Shirley: I'm a little confused by your posting. You said that Thomas Cochrane died Feb 27, 1902, and was buried on the 2nd of February. Must be a typing error. :) I believe that your Thomas and Sarah Cochrane had a son named Thomas E. Is it possible that whomever transcribed the obituary or prepared it for the newspaper just mistook a T. for a J.?? I find your family in the 1860 census in Delaware Co., in 1870 in Delaware Co., in 1880 in Adair Co., and in 1885 in Adair Co. In none of those census records is there a son named J. E. Cochrane. I find their children as William R., Frances E., Thomas E., Albert L., Harry B., George W. Cochrane. Perhaps I'm wrong. I hope this helps you a little. mk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shirley Gunter" <shirleyjgunter@comcast.net> To: <iowa@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 07, 2009 5:25 PM Subject: [IOWA] 1900 census > My Thomas Cochrane died in 1902 FEB.27th,buried on the 2nd of FEB.He was > born in Greenock,Scotland.his son was J.E.Cochrane,from Corning,Iowa.it > seems he was living there from the obit I have.Thomas and Sarah are on > the > census,but cannot find the J.E.Cochrane.don't really know what his first > name is other then the ones that were in the paper.don't even know if he > had > children.maybe he came to Corning after the census was taken.is that > possible? > > _____________________________________________ > > For additional information concerning how the list > works, how to sub and unsub and list rules, visit > http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~richard/ialist/ > _____________________________________________ > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > IOWA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes > in the subject and the body of the message >
