Is the 1925 State Wapello Co. IA census on line anywhere - or even a portion of it? I'm interested in seeing residents in Ottumwa. juanita

Juanita, The 1925 Wapello co is not on-line to my knowledge. All county census films and the indexes for the 10 Iowa towns that are indexed are avail. from your local LDS Family History Center. (Ottumwa is indexed) The Special Collections Dept. at the Davenport library have them as well and will do look-ups for a nominal fee. Contact the library for add'l info. Dick May you live to be a hundred, with an extra year to repent!

Does anyone know more about these wagon trains? Were there more leaving Jasper Co. during the 1860's? How long did the teams stay in Colorado, where I presume they were heading? These men had families in Jasper Co. and I know some of them returned and moved elsewhere. Any info about them appreciated. juanita ==================== 15 March 1860, JASPER FREE PRESS: "OFF FOR THE PEAK - THE FIRST DEPARTURE: As we go to press today, the first train for the new gold miners is starting from our place. There are 19 in the company, with good teams, strong wagons and excellent outfits. The first train is composed as follows: G. W. Chambers, Abijah Alloway, John Q. Adams and Samuel Hays, one wagon and 4 yoke of cattle. L. E.Webster, lady and child, D. Harper, one wagon and 3 yoke of cattle. P. M. Housel and lady and 2 children, Rev. J. Steele, D. N. M'Cord, Wm. Hawk, James H. M'Cord, Charley Gilman, Nathan Elliott, two wagons and 5 yoke of cattle. If strong arms and willing hearts will accomplish the result, this company will be successful. The best wishes of our citizens go with them. Another train will leave here in a few days." (Above article extracted from JASPER COUNTY GLEANER, Vol. 9, #I, Jan 1987, Pg. 8, P. O. Box 163, Newton, IA. 50228.)

I am not familiar with Wagon Trains leaving Jasper, but it probably makes sense as a lot of our Jasper folks moved on West, especially to Nebraska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
