Your first temptation may be to sacrifice that family binder or folder to the dark recesses of your filing cabinet or closet. But before you give it up to the dust bunnies you might want to rethink that strategy. While taking a break from a problem can certainly help, don't forget to revisit it from time to time. It's like that old adage: If a brick wall tumbles in cyberspace and you 're not logged in, will it make a sound? Where to Start When you revisit a line you haven't worked on in a long time, it's best to do a quick review. Grab a sheet of paper and do some brainstorming. If you keep a research log listing all the sources you've checked and the results, you'll want to look it over. If you don't keep a research log, now's a great time to start one. Research logs can be in the form of a handwritten log like these free forms from Ancestry.com, an ongoing word processing document on your desktop, or a tool in your family history software. Being able to review where you've been is very helpful when it comes to planning your next steps. Explore What's New . .. and Old Revisit the area resources and related websites. Beyond Ancestry.com check websites like Cyndi's List for links to other collections and information. Enter your ancestor's hometown, county or state into a search engine paired with the word 'genealogy' and see if you can find some new resources. Investigate local societies. Their publications can help you keep abreast of new developments in that area. Take a step back ... In family history, a step back may mean revisiting more recent ancestors. In your haste to move back a generation, are there records you overlooked or that were previously inaccessible to you--records that may hold the answer to your problem? Seeking them out will give you a more rounded picture of those recent ancestors, and you may uncover clues you missed. Go Beyond the Direct Line Expand your search to include collateral relatives and go beyond the immediate siblings. In-laws, half-siblings, cousins, step-parents and whoever else you can dig up. Their records may include details m1ssmg m the records of your direct ancestors. Reorganize Information Create chronologies using the records you've collected on your ancestors. Compare the timelines with those records you haven't quite been able to tie to your family. Look for similarities or conflicting facts that can help you either link them to your family, or rule them out. What have you got to lose--except perhaps a brick wall? The Daily Nonpareil Sunday, July 7, 1996 C.B. Schools date back 137 years KEITH THORPE The Daily Nonpareil Some of the earliest records of education in Council Bluffs came from Mormon settlers during their sojourn in western Iowa on their way from Illinois to Utah. "Two flourishing schools in our little town, of about eighty scholars each, conducted . by a principal and assistant to-each one, with many others in various parts of the country that have sprung into existence," wrote Apostle Orson Hyde in the Frontier Guardian, an early newspaper. One of the. schools was conducted by Mormon Joseph Merritt, with the . other, the Kanesville . Academy, operated by Hyde. A short time .after the organization of Pottawattamie County in 1848, establishment ofa public school system began with the levy of a 112-mill tax for education. However, all schools in the area were run by the Mormons or by other churches until 1859, when the Council Bluffs Independent School District was established by public vote on Feb. 18. The · measure passed, 92 to 0. · · · · The first school board was elected MarchJ4, 1859. Dexter C. Bloomer was selected president; L.W. Babbitt, vice president; N.C. Nutt, secretary; Samuel Knepper, treasurer; and J.B. Stutsman, Thomas Officer and Edward McBride. No schools were built at the time, but six acres of land was purchased at First and High School avenues. Construction began in 1864 for a brick schoolhouse at Stutsman and Pierce streets, later named Stutsman Street School. A second school was built in 1865 at Seventh Street and Willow Avenue and was named the Fourth Ward School. Construction on Mill School began in 1866 oi;i the site of the current Washington Elementary. Court Street School was built at the comer of Court Street and Cherry, now 15th Street and First Avenue, but was abandoned in 1894. The school system hired its first superintendent, Allen A Armstrong, in 1868. At the time, there were 12 teachers, and annual .expenses totaled $10,730. After a great deal of debate on a location, a high school was builtin 1870 on land purchased in 1858. Cost ofthe structure, named Council Bluffs High School was nearly $42,000. ~k School was built in 1871 at Bennett and Franklm avenues, but later abandoned. MtMillen School was built in 1877 at 16th Street and Eighth Avenue, followed by Avenue B School in 1880 at 25th Street and Avenue B and Gunn School at.Linden and North Broadway. The next year, the Eighth Streei School was er:ected at Eighth Street and Avenue G. The Fourth Ward School, was renamed in 1881 in honor of the first school board president, Dexter C. Bloomer. Longfellow School was built in 1883 at Ninth Street and 12th Avenue, the site of the cur" rent school. The next year, Pierce School was replaced by a building at Pierce Street and Franklin Avenue. Mill School was also replaced in 1888 and renamed Washington School. High school classes were transferred there from Bloomer, where they remaineduntil 1890 when they were moved back to the old high school on the hill. Third Street School was built at Third Street and 11th Avenue in 1884. It was later renamed Dodge School. Second Avenue School at 22nd Street and Second Avenue was built in 1890, followed by Harrison School at Harrison Street and McGee Avenue the following year. Madison School at Madison and Kappell avenues was constructed in 1892. Franklin School, originally the Thirty-Second Street School, at 32nd Street and Avenue B, wa.S built in 1893. Roosevelt School was erected at 17th Street and Avenue E in 1907, and Oak Street School was built a year later at Oak Street and Broadway. In 1900, Abraham Lincoln High School was built at Fifth Avenue and Bluff Street. Thomas Jefferson High School was built in 1920 to accommodate growth on the citys west side, James B. Rue School was built in 1923. Bloomer School was tom down in 1923 and a new building was erected in its place. Three years later, Walnut Grove School was built In 1929, Carter Lake territory was severed from Council Bluffs by a district court order and became a separate city. Courtland School in Carter Lake was part of the separa" tion, but returned to the Council Bluffs district in 1966. The 1930s brought the closure of six schools, Center Street, Stutsman, Woodbury, Clark, Pierce Street and Council Bluffs High School to reflect changes in enrollment. In 1936 enrollment totaled about 9:soo, a decline from 10,200 in 1930. After a decade without new construction, plans were made to replace Longfellow wi_th a new building in 1939. It was the only major school improvement until the c:Onstruction of Hoover School in 1950. · Eighth Street School was rebuilt in 1953 and its .name changed to Tinley School. A building boom began in 1957 with. construction of Pusey, DeForest, Lewis & Clark Peterson and Myers schoo~. Crescent followed in 1958 followed by Lake in 1961. The first phase of a new Abraham Lincoln High School was built in 1960, replacing the old building, which became Kim Junior High School. By the end of the 1960s, Cotmcil Bluffs had 26 elementary schools ranging from small, rural buildings to imposing full-service structures. Superintendent Leonard G~­ ozy and the school board dead~ ed to close some buildings. The public thought otherwise and targeted board members who were up for reelection. A group of parents was successful in unseating most of the board, and Gregory was fired. Kim was damaged by fire Oct. 3, 1976, prompting split shifts for students at Wilson Junior High School until the n:ew Kim, located on North Avenue, opened in 1979. Amid a storm of public protest. the school board decided to close five schools, Peterson, DeForest, Myers, Tinley and Madison, in 1986 as a cost<Utting measure as the district's enrollment declined. Tinley would later become Kanesville High Schoo~ but the other buildings were sold. Closing the schools was named as one factor in the failure of several school bond attempts in recent years. The district was successful in securing voter appi:oval of. a $14 million bond ISsue 10 February. Improvements to Wilson Franklin and Carter Lake will be completed in 1998. From the 1891-1892 City Directory SHUGART-BENO BLOCK Data Preservation and How Ancient Egypt Got It Right Subtitle: Rocks Don't Need to Be Backed Up March 27, 2009 Enterprise Storage Forum.com By Henry Newman Full article may be found at: http://www.enterprisestorageforum.com/ continuity /features/ article. php/3 812496 My wife and I were in New York's Central Park last fall when we saw a nearly 4,000-year-old Egyptian obelisk that has been remarkably well preserved, with hieroglyphs that were clearly legible - to anyone capable of reading them, that is. I've included a couple of pictures below to give you a better sense of this ancient artifact - and how it relates to data storage issues. As we stood wondering at this archaeological marvel, my wife, ever mindful of how I spend the bulk of my time, blurted out, "Rocks do not need backing up!" Luckily for me, no one backs up data to stone anymore, with the possible exception of the Rosetta project, but my wife raised an important point: electronic data storage and preservation raises a host of technological concerns that the builders of the obelisk never had to consider. Just try reading your backup tape, archived DVD or old Word file after 10 years, much less after thousands of years. Electronic data faces format, migration and data integrity issues that hard copies don't, although they have their own preservation issues, as archaeologists and document preservation specialists could tell you. In some ways, the Egyptians with their simpler approach were far better off than we are at recording and saving information. Just look at the well preserved obelisk as you consider all the formats you probably have lying around that can no longer be accessed, from 5.25-inch floppy disks to 8-track tapes and old home movies. What would it take to preserve those for 3,500 years? After rocks, the human race moved on to writing on animal skins and papyrus, which were faster at recording but didn't last nearly as long. Paper and pnntmg presses were even faster, but also deteriorated more quickly. Starting to see a pattern? And now we have digital records, which might last a decade before becoming obsolete. Recording and handing down history thus becomes an increasingly daunting task, as each generation of media must be migrated to the next at a faster and faster rate, or we risk losing vital records. Paper was the medium of choice until about 10 to 15 years ago. Before that, digital storage was far too expensive. Today, we store just about everything digitally, from home pictures, music and movies to feature films, medical records, documents and personal communications like e-mail. But our brave new digital world poses a number of significant problems for future generations, such as formats, frameworks, interfaces and data integrity, that need to be solved through the standards process so that our digital records can be preserved and handed down more easily. Nothing less than the preservation of our history depends on it. Metadata Framework The first thing we need is a standardized framework for file metadata, backup and archival information (see File System Management Is Headed for Trouble). What we need is a framework that can transfer and maintain metadata between systems. Some home file systems have ways of adding metadata, but they are not transferable between operating systems. All you get is the POSIX-based information when transferring between Apple, Microsoft and Linux. This does not provide much incentive to add the metadata. What if there is a disaster? Does this type of information even get transferred to a backup device? Transport protocols such as ftp, NFS and CIFS do not transfer the metadata between systems except perhaps between like systems. For Microsoft, most secondary devices are formatted at the FAT file system instead of NTFS, and FAT does not support some of the features that NTFS has for metadata. On the enterprise side, vendors either have proprietary frameworks or put everything into a database, which is used to access the file system or manage the storage space. An application is written to display and manipulate the file metadata. This is not very portable and is often expensive to maintain. Storage Drives and Interfaces It wasn't all that long ago that we were using 5.25- inch floppy drives to back up our systems, then came 3.5-inch drives and CD-ROMs and now DVDs, and maybe this year we'll see Blu-Ray recording drives and then something else a few years from now. Are the drivers available on Windows and Mac systems to support these devices? On the enterprise side during the same time period we had ER-90s, Redwood, 9940A, 9940B, DLT and lots of other technologies. The only technology that seems to have long-term support for the enterprise is 3480 and 3490 tape drives on mainframes. The same can be said about the channels that interconnect these technologies. Where is SCSI-FW, where is FC-AL (Fibre Channel arbitrated loop, for those you not old enough to remember), and even where is FC-2? All of these communications interfaces are dead (end of life and end of service), and even if they were alive, what operating system today has drivers to support them? What if there was a driver bug that needed to be fixed? IBM does this for mainframes, but not for the general purpose, open system enterprise environment; it is too difficult and far too expensive. Clearly, as technology changes, you must migrate your old data, whether it is your home machine or the systems that you use at work. This was not required for rocks, of course. All that was needed was to understand the language the rocks were written in, and we have been able to do that for just about all forms of written communications. Data Integrity Just like with a poor language translation, the integrity of modem data is not guaranteed except at high cost. File systems and storage management frameworks such as ZFS and Hadoop might verify a checksum, but such solutions are beyond the average home user. Low-power options such as flash do not solve the problem either, as they have other issues. The hard error rate of disk drives has not changed very much over the last 15 years even as the density has increased significantly. This hard error rate means that disk drives, whether they are enterprise or consumer, are going to fail, and when they do the result is data loss and lots of time spent rebuilding the environment. You can add hardware and reduce the likelihood that this will happen, but that does not eliminate the problem either at home or at work. You can throw lots of money at the problem and build a very high reliability archive, but that isn't something that even many enterprises can afford. Clearly, rocks have some advantage here as along as they remain intact. With electronic records, if there is a device failure, reading the data requires specialized expertise, and even with that, much of the data will likely be lost. Data Format Has anyone tried opening an MS Word document circa 1990 with Word 2007? We all know that all data formats have a limited lifespan. That format might be longer with something like PDF or shorter with other applications, but nothing is guaranteed for very long, and formats can change very quickly. We have no real framework to change and transcribe formats. With Windows, you know the file type by the extension, and that can be misleading. With Mac OS, there is extra metadata for each file that does not translate to Windows, and in the enterprise on UNIX systems there is nothing to help you. Rocks, on the other hand, have only the same language translation issues that we face today. My wife is not in the data storage business, but she clearly understands that digital data management is far more complex than information management used to be. Digital data management concepts, technologies and standards just do not exist today. I don't know of anyone or anything that addresses all of these problems, and if it is not being done by a standards body, it will not help us manage the data in the long run. It is only a matter of time until a lot of data starts getting lost. A few thousand years from now, what will people know about our lives today? If we are to leave obelisks for future generations, we'd better get started now.

Burma Shave SHE KISSED THE HAIRBRUSH BY MISTAKE SHE THOUGHT IT WAS HER HUSBAND JAKE Burma Shave ALEXANDER AND MARY CAROLINE DRAPER VALLIER By Marilyn Erwin Alexander Vallier, the eldest of seven children born to Alexander and Mary (Marion) Vallier, was born on June 26, 1807, in Loborough Township, London District, Upper Canada. His parents were both born in France and came to Canada when very young. They grew up, married and lived the remainder of their lives in Canada. When Alexander was about seventeen years old, he left Canada, went to New York where he obtained his naturalization papers. He spent five years in New York and then returned to Canada for three years. While in Canada, he married Mary Caroline Draper, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Mosier) Draper. They were married on October 19, 1830, at St. Georges Anglican Church in Kingston, Upper Canada. Mary was born May 20, 1810, in Earnestown, LennoxAddington, Upper Canada. Alexander and Mary moved to Ohio, spent a few years there farming and then moved to Pike County, Illinois. They spent about five years farming in Illinois and then moved on to Decatur County, Iowa. The Valliers also farmed along the Nishnabotna River in Cass County, Iowa, before moving to Garner Township in Pottawattamie County. By the time Alexander and Mary arrived in Pottawattamie County, they had a family of ten children three of which died in infancy. Their eleventh child was born in 1854 in Hazel Dell Township. The Vallier family settled along the little Mosquito in Garner Township in 1851 where they spent about a year. After that the family moved to Section 28 in Hazel Dell Township. Alexander purchased forty acres and built a log house for his family which they lived in for several years. He then built a frame house which burnt down. Later he built another frame house for his family. By 1891 he had added to his original forty acres until he had 300 acres of good farm land in Hazel Dell Township. He helped organize the first school in Hazel Dell Township. At one time he was the school director. Alexander worked hard to improve the land and quality of life for himself, his family, and also his friends and neighbors. Mary Caroline died April 29, 1885, at the age of 7 4 years, 11 months and 9 days after an illness of only four days. Mary was buried on the farmstead. At the time there was an outbreak of small pox in Pottawattamie County. She left her husband and eight children behind. She had been a resident of Pottawattamie County for thirty-four years. Alexander and Mary were the parents of six daughters; Mary Jane, Hannah, Ruth, Emily, Rozilla and Rosanna and five sons; Thomas, George, Alexander, Daniel and Lewis. Alexander married for a second time on March 15, 1886, to Maggie Lizzie (Martin) Wooten in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Maggie had been married twice before. She was born on May 29, 1848, and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. Alexander Vallier died on September 22, 1892 on his farm in Hazel Dell Township. He was buried on the hillside next to his wife, Mary Caroline Vallier. His obituary appeared in the Council Bluffs Nonpareil on September 23, 1892, as follows: Alexander Value, one of the old residents of this county, died yesterday, at his home in Hazel Dell Township, at the age of eighty-five years. THE VALLIER CHILDREN Mary Jane Vallier was born in Canada on September 18, 1832. She came with her parents to New York, Ohio, Illinois and Iowa. Mary Jane · grew to womanhood in Pottawattamie County and left her family and home to follow the Mormons to Salt Lake City with one of the hand cart groups. They stopped in Wyoming to carve their names on Independence Rock, as so many others did on their way to Utah. In the spring of 1853 she became the second of three polygamous wives of Benjamin Richmond. The couple had one daughter, Mary Rosella Richmond, born in Salt Lake City on January 3, 1854. Eight months later Benjamin died suddenly. Mary Jane stayed in Salt Lake for five years and then returned to Iowa. On the return trip they stopped at a station where she met Robert Caldwell. After leaving the station and heading on to Iowa for a period of three days, Robert Caldwell overtook them and proposed marriage. He followed her to Iowa where they were married. Mary Jane and Robert had one daughter, Hannah Caldwell born in Woodbine on June 3, 1861 . Some time later Robert returned to Nebraska to check on his stations and was not heard from again. Mary Jane believed he had been killed by the Indians. In 1866 Mary Jane married Virgel Mefferd and had three sons. Thomas Vallier was born May 30, 1834 in Canada. He married Leona Elizabeth Shadden on October 27, 1859, in Pottawattamie County. They were the parents of seven children. Hannah Vallier was born in Liston, Ohio on May 23, 1836. Hannah was married to Matthew Alex Ellison on May 21 , 1855, in Pottawattamie County, Iowa. Hannah and Matthew were the parents of eight children. Hannah was a midwife and help deliver several children in Harrison County, Iowa. Ruth Prudence Vallier, my great-greatgrandmother, was born on June 17, 1837 in Ohio. Ruth was married first to John Wesley Mecham on February 8, 1858, in Pottawattamie County and they had a family of seven children. John Mecham was a very colorful character. She married for a second time to Charles Augustus Fallmer July 30, 1876, in Hazel Dell Township and they had one daughter. Emily Vallier was born in 1842 in Pike County, Illinois. She was married to Samuel James Robinson on March 11 , 1860, in Pottawattamie County. They were the parents of six children. Rozilla Vallier was born on April 23, 1843, in Pike County, Illinois. Rozilla married Alfred Bybee on May 27, 1866, in Pottawattamie County. They were the parents of nine children. Daniel Vallier was born in May 1850 in Decatur County, Iowa. He married Caroline Davenport in 187 4 in Harrison County, Iowa. They were the parents of six children. Lewis Vallier was born April 24, 1854 in Hazel Dell Township. Lewis was married to Elizabeth Graham, Annie Ahlstrom, and Mary Bywater. Lewis died in 1929 in Lewisville, Idaho.

One of the very earliest school houses in Council Bluffs with a group of the pupils attending is shown in this picture which is a reproduction of a photograph of Mrs. Clara J. Arnold's private school conducted in Council Bluffs in the early '60s. The school was conducted in a small one-story three roomed residence located on the north side of First A venue, between Seventh and Eighth Streets, just west of the present site of the Y.M.C.A. This house was enlarged a number of times and ultimately became part of a large two-story home that for many years was the home of Wes Jackson. Originally it was a two-roomed building that had been built for an uptown office building. Mrs. Arnold's husband purchased the building in his lifetime and with a portion of the life insurance she received after his death she built the third room and opened the private school. She conducted the school for several years, until she was married a second time, her husband this time being J. H. Burroughs, an early day real estate agent. While the school was being conducted many boys and girls who later became amoung the best known citizens of Council Bluffs were scholars there. This photograph is supposed to have been taken about 1862 or 1863. £ ·0 0 (/J >-. el) 0 "1" - O'\ "' ,.,.., ~ er OJ N c..'.J 0 c ~ I::: V) i5 -< u - 0.)

We took in $481.50 on the tickets THANKS TO ALL WHO HELPED! Our February meeting was a potluck, about 20 attended. Our speaker was Ann Kmezich Fatovich. She is a former professional women's softball player. After retiring she owned a candy shop, Ann's Sweets 'nTreats, here in Council Bluffs. Her talk was on her family and upbringing in CB and some highlights of her softball career. Ann Kmezich Career Stats http://queenoftheball.blogspot.com/2006/11/ann-kmezichcareer-stats.html Kmezich was dubbed a speedball pitcher from the very beginning of her professional career. "I pitched with the whip, I didn't use the windmill like they do today!" Her style of pitch yielded a deadly drop ball and was challenged by opposition as being "side arm" but after analysis from league officials, it was found that Ann's arm angle and point of release were within regulation and so was born the enemy of many hitters in the league. "Her hand is practically down my throat before I see the ball" - June Borrowy (one of the fastest on the bases in the league) Ann believed in the purity of competition and always wanted to finish the game. "I rarely came out of a game, I pitched best under pressure!" 1949CHICAGO QUEENS (ROOKIE OF THE YEAR) 1950 CHICAGO QUEENS 1951 CHICAGO QUEENS 1952 *ARIZONA QUEENS/ CHICAGO QUEENS 1953 P ARICHY BLOOMER GIRLS 1954 P ARI CY BLOOMER GIRLS * Ann started the 1952 season with the Arizona Queens of the National Softball Congress after contract demands were not met for the All-Star pitcher's efforts from both the mound and the outfield.

Excerpts from The Crossroads to the American West Miller's Hollow, 1846; Kane, 1847; Kanesville, 1848; Council Bluffs, 1853 by Gail Geo. Holmes for full article see: http://earlylds.com/settlement_kanesville.html Council Bluffs was the greatest "jumping off point" for white pioneers leaving the United States and crossing the Missouri River to Indian Country and to the then sparsely populated American West. The Middle Missouri Valley, from the State of Missouri, north border, up to the Big Bend of the Missouri River in South Dakota, was, before 1846, Native American fur trade country. Thousands of Mormon (Latter-day Saint) refugees fleeing mob attacks in Illinois and southeastern Iowa changed the Old Council Bluff(s) area, roughly a 50-mile radius around Miller's Hollow, forever in 1846. Merrill Mattes's Platte River Road Narratives demonstrated that by 1852 more persons headed to California "jumped off' at Kanesville than at any other point along the Missouri River. And, after studying thousands of letters, journals, and diaries, Mattes concluded that in some years after 1852 more emigrants jumped off at Kanesville/Council Bluffs than at all other points along the Missouri River combined. Henry W. and Daniel Miller, millers by trade, moved north from Grand Encampment in July 1846 to settle their wagon train where Council Bluffs is now. A well-to-do member of the wagon train paid the Pottawattamie/Ottawa/Chippewa Native Americans $300 for the 1837 United States Dragoon-built Blockhouse, a couple of cabins, and 30 acres of corn. Scores of other Latter-day Saint wagon trains were settling north, south, and east of Grand Encampment. They all needed fresh supplies of wood, water, and grass. Miller's Hollow was a descriptive name designed to ensure letters brought by Latterday Saint couriers would find the bishop's residence. Bishop Henry W. Miller would then see that all mail addressed to residents of his settlement were quickly distributed to the right family or person. Miller's hollow was a steep ravine running up into the bluffs which generously watered the Miller garden when enough rain fell. 2 About a mile to the northwest of Miller's Hollow was Billy Caldwell's Village. That was one of five or six widely scattered Pottawattamie/Ottawa/Chippewa Indian villages. Their territory was known as the Pottawattamie Purchase, which included most of what today is southwestern Iowa. The Blockhouse, located a little north of what today is East Pierce Street, between Union and Franklin Streets in Council Bluffs, was donated by its purchaser to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a meetinghouse. The town of Miller's Hollow began to grow to the west and north of that meetinghouse. The High Council organized at Council Point gradually expanded its direction over other communities, including Miller's Hollow. A network of roads, bridges, and ferries was built by volunteer labor throughout southwestern Iowa. Extensive farming was started even late in 1846 and expanded each year thereafter. Small businesses popped up in the Latter-day Saint towns as other pioneers migrated through and made purchases in the Latterday Saint communities on their way primarily to California and Oregon. Leadership of the church, with some 2,000 members, had crossed the Missouri River in July of 1846. That was to avoid having to cross the Missouri River the next spring when the river was at flood stage. Brigham Young and other members of the Twelve kept regular contact with the Latterday Saint communities in southwestern Iowa. Orson Hyde, Ezra T. Benson, and George A. Smith were asked by the Twelve to live in Miller's Hollow and assist branches of the church on the Iowa side. There were about 13,000 members of the church living in Iowa as compared to less than 4,000 in Nebraska. Miller's Hollow/Kane/Kanesville grew significantly when 2,000 pioneers in 1847 and 4,000 in 1848 migrated west to Utah. About 2,000 members from Winter Quarters lacked enough supplies to migrate to Utah. They returned to communities in Iowa, especially to Kanesville. It grew even more in 1848 when Pottawattamie County was organized, with Kanesville as county seat. But the big jump was in 1849 when about 10,000 California Gold Rushers swarmed across the Missouri River ferries west, just north, and just south of Kanesville. Prices shot up as it appeared Gold Rusher purchases would leave Kanesville without enough food or grain to feed its own. Suddenly, farmers and businessmen were making money without being attacked by mobs as they had been in Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. "The market has been entirely unsettled for the past month, prices varying according to the demand, and the demand for flour, bacon, pork, corn, and other articles, which ... emigrants for the West require, have commanded very high prices," reported The Frontier Guardian of May 30, 1849 (p 3, col. 5). "Flour, week before last varied from five to ten dollars per hundred, but since that time the prices have settled down some ... flour at $3.50 @ $4.50 for hundred pounds; bacon 6 @ .08 for lb .... "The country has been nearly swept clean of provisions and breadstuffs, of all kinds, and there will be barely sufficient remaining to supply our own inhabitants until harvest." Orson Hyde in February of 1849 started a Whig newspaper called The Frontier Guardian. Another member of the church started a second newspaper in 1850 just across Main Street, now Broadway. Almon Babbitt called his Democrat paper The Weekly Bugle. Orson Hyde's Frontier Guardian had most of the advertising and readership tied up. Babbitt decided to turn editorship of his Weekly Bugle over to his son-in-law, Joseph Ellis (JE) Johnson. That was a brilliant move. Johnson, a poet and successful businessman, turned out to be a talented writer and investigative reporter. Council Bluffs and the surrounding region yet today benefit historically from the excellent quality of frontier newspaper coverage by both the Guardian and the Bugle. Johnson went. on to publish a newspaper in Crescent, Iowa; the first in Omaha - The Omaha Arrow; and a newspaper in Woodriver, Nebraska Territory. Jacob Dawson bought Hyde's press and failed to promote a new town, Dawsonburg, southeast of Tabor, Iowa with his paper. He did, however, publish a newspaper in Wyoming, Nebraska Territory 3 long enough to cover an important segment of the Underground Railroad and of the Down-and-Back Wagons from Utah picking up new members of the church coming from the British Isles and Scandinavia. Hyde was not only a very successful newspaper editor and publisher. He built a Music Hall on the west side of what now is South First Street, just north of where Platner St. ends. He hired Aldo Dami away from Westpoint Military Academy. Dami gave woodwind and brass lessons in the twostory music hall during the day. He conducted band and choral concerts occasionally in the evening. He probably also had a hand in staging performances of Shakespeare's Macbeth in Hyde's Music Hall. The two-story Union Hotel was the next building south. The two-story Cottonwood Jail, built by Pottawattamie County to comply with State of Iowa law, stood just north of the Music Hall. East across the street, then named Hyde Street, was St. Louis Best Boot & Shoe Store. East of Hyde Street and north of what now is East Pierce was the town square. There some 5,000 citizens assembled July 4, 1850 for a parade through town with a band in front and in back of the parade, large banners, and ladies all dressed in white. North of Main Street (now Broadway) and east of Hyde Street (now First Street) stood the 40' x 60' Log Tabernacle, with a 12' x 20' extension on the north side. Church conferences, voting, dances, social . events, and school graduations were held there. The post office stood at the northeast corner of what now is Broadway and First Street. Newspapers were left in a reading room for those unable to afford that luxury. Postmaster J.E. Johnson cautioned men against putting their feet on the reading room table. Half a dozen large mercantile houses, and many smaller businesses, included an auction house, hotels, diners, blacksmith shops, a jewelry store, a daguerreotype shop that offered to go to your home to photograph it for the folks back east, lined the streets. At a safe distance was a slaughter house that offered meat delivery to the home at least once a week. Get a Job! As a Census Enumerator The census is a count of everyone living in the United States every 10 years. The next census will be conducted in 2010. The census is mandated by the U.S. Constitution and your participation in the census is required by law. Federal law protects the personal information you share during the census for 72 years. Genealogists use census data frequently but that is not the purpose of this expensive operation. Census data is used to distribute Congressional seats to states, to make decisions about what community services to provide, and to distribute $300 billion in federal funds to local, state and tribal governments each year. Conducting the census is a huge undertaking. Thousands of census takers are needed to update address lists and conduct interviews with community residents. Area residents can apply to earn good weekly pay, enjoy flexible hours and be part of a historic opportunity to serve their commumtles. While most recruiting for 2009 field operations has ended, limited recruiting continues in select areas. While some temporary census jobs will be available over the next several months, most hiring will in the next two months. Efforts to recruit for peak census operations will resume in the fall of 2009. The census needs enumerators as well as many other positions. The 2010 Census offers excellent opportunities for people in many walks of life: • Retirees • Full-Time Workers • Job Seekers • Students and Grads • Community Leaders Applicants will be hired from almost every community and are selected based on the hiring needs of each particular area. Qualified applicants are contacted to work as Census jobs become available. Most hiring will take place in the next two months. I would suspect that genealogists would make excellent, highly-motivated employees. The job application process begins at http://201O.census.gov/201 Ocensusjobs.

Edna Mae Patterson and Herman Rosch Submitted by Barbara Bucknam Christie My great-grandfather, Emil Rosch, was born 21 April 1831 in Prussia and came to Iowa in 1862. In 1864 in Dubuque he married Elise Sadler who was born in Luxemburg 12 September 1841. In June of 1866 the family is in Lyons, Iowa, Emil is listed on the US IRS Tax Assessment - Iowa, division 3 district 2, retail liquor dealer $25.00. In 1869 he had a grocery store in Council Bluffs at Frank St. and Broadway, the family lived over the store. After a try at farming in the Crescent area they came back to Council Bluffs and by 1882 they had a grocery at 108 W. Broadway with Wm. Keeline. Their fourth child and second son was Herman Rosch born in Council Bluffs 6 December 1871. In 1899 he married Edna May Patterson at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Edna was born in Geary City, Doniphan, Kansas 12 September 1872 eldest child of David and Mary Ellen (Spearman) Patterson who were both born in Ohio. The family came by covered wagon to Council Bluffs, they were here by 1882. Edna's father was killed in 1893. He was sitting by a window in his home watching the terrible thunderstorm when he was hit by lightning and killed. All the older children were already working out, both Edna and sister Bertha worked for the telephone company. Herman and Edna had two children, my mother Doris and her brother Herman. As a young man Herman, Sr. worked in his father's grocery store, then as a draftsman and by 1900 for the Post Office. He retired as Supervisor of the Money Order Department. I remember when the telephone company exchanged its operators for the automated dialing system. It was 1940; Gram and I went to Kresge's 5& 10¢ Store where the phone company had set up a phone on which to practice. It let you listen to the new sounds, dial tone, ringing, and busy signal, and to practice dialing. What a wonder those new phones - a rotary dial! Then in 1964 the Nonpareil interviewed Gram for an article on the telephone company. At 92 her hearing was poor but her mind was sharp and she was as giddy as a young girl at the thought of having her picture in the newspaper!

Civilian Conservation Corps From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a public work relief program for unemployed men, focused on natural resource conservation from 1933 to 1942. As part of the New Deal legislation proposed by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the CCC was designed to aid relief of high unemployment stemming from the Great Depression while carrying out a broad natural resource conservation program on national, state and municipal lands. Legislation to create the program was introduced by FDR to the 73rd United States Congress on March 21, 1933, and the Emergency Conservation Work Act, as it was known, was signed into law on March 31, 1933. The CCC became one of the most popular New Deal programs among the general public and operated in every U.S. state and the territories of Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. While FDR is given credit for the idea of this program, in truth the suggestion came from Republican Senator James Couzens of Michigan, who was given the idea in a letter from a constituent, Archibald Sun of Detroit ' Michigan. General Douglas MacArthur had General George C. Marshall organize the Corps. Members lived in camps, wore uniforms, and lived under quasi-military discipline. At the time of entry, 70% of enrollees were malnourished and poorly clothed. Very few had more than a year of high school education; few had work experience beyond occasional odd jobs. The peace was maintained by the threat of "dishonorable discharge." There were no reported revolts or strikes. "This is a training station we're going to leave morally and physically fit to lick 'Old Man Depression,"' boasted the newsletter of a North Carolina camp. 2 The total of 200,000 black enrollees were entirely segregated after 1935 but received equal pay and housing. Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes pressured Director Robert Fechner to appoint blacks to supervisory positions such as education directors in the 143 segregated camps. The separate Indian Division was a major relief force for Native Americans. Initially, the CCC was limited to young men age 18 to 25 whose fathers were on relief. Average enrollees were ages 18-19. Two exceptions to the age limits were veterans and Indians, who had a special CCC program and their own camps. In 1937, Congress changed the age limits to 17 to 28 years old and dropped the requirement that enrollees be on relief. Indian Division The CCC operated an entirely separate division for members of federally recognized Indian tribes: the Indian Emergency Conservation Work, IECW, or CCC-ID. It brought Native men from reservations to work on roads, bridges, clinics, shelters, and other public works near their reservations. The CCC often provided the only paid work in remote reservations. Enrollees had to be between the ages of 17 and 35 years. In 1933 about half the male heads of households on the Sioux reservations in South Dakota, for example, were employed by the CCC-ID. Thanks to grants from the Public Works Administration (PW A), the Indian Division built schools and operated an extensive road-building program in and around many reservations. IECW differed from other CCC activities in that it explicitly trained men to be carpenters, truck drivers, radio operators, mechanics, surveyors, and technicians. A total of 85,000 Natives were enrolled. This proved valuable human capital for the 24 000 Natives who served in the military ' and the 40,000 who left the reservations for war jobs. Disbandment Although the CCC was probably the most popular New Deal program, it never became a permanent agency. A Gallup poll of April 18, 1936, asked "Are you in favor of the CCC camps?"; 82% of respondents said yes, including 92% of Democrats and 67% of Republicans. The last extension passed by Congress was in 1939. The CCC program continued to be reduced in operations as the Depression waned and employment opportunities improved. Also fewer eligible young men were available after the draft commenced in 1940. Beginning in May 1940, as war raged in Europe, the program began a shift toward national defense and forest protection. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 all federal programs were now focused on the war effort. Most CCC work, except for wildland firefighting, was shifted onto U.S. military bases to help with construction. The CCC disbanded one year earlier than planned, as the 77th United States Congress ceased funding, causing it to formally conclude operations at the end of the fiscal year on June 30, 1942. The end of the CCC program and closing of the camps involved arrangements to leave the incomplete work projects in the best possible shape, the separation of about 1,800 appointed employees, the transfer of CCC property to the War and Navy Departments and other agencies, and the preparation of final accountability records. Liquidation of the CCC was ordered by Congress by Labor-Federal Security Appropriation Act (56 Stat. 569) on July 2, 1942; and virtually completed on June 30, 1943. Liquidation appropriations for the CCC continued through April 20, 1948. Some former CCC sites in good condition were reactivated 3 from 1941 to 1947 as Civilian Public Service camps where conscientious objectors performed "work of national importance" as an alternative to military service. Other camps were used to hold Japanese internees or German prisoners of war. After the CCC disbanded, the federal agencies responsible for public lands administration went on to organize their own seasonal fire crews, roughly modeled after the CCC, which filled the firefighting role formerly filled by the CCC and provided the same sort of outdoor work experience to young people. The Corps movement today The original CCC was closed in 1942, but it became a model for state agencies that opened in the 1970s. Present day corps are national, state and local programs that engage primarily youth and young adults (ages 16-25) in community service, training and educational activities. The nation's approximate 113 corps programs operate in 41 states and the District of Columbia. In 2004, they enrolled over 23,000 young people. The Corps Network, originally known as the National Association of Service and Conservation Corps works to expand and enhance the corps movement throughout America. The Corps Network took shape in 1985, when the nation's first 24 Corps directors banded together to secure an advocate at the Federal level and a central clearinghouse of information on how to start and run "best practice"-based corps. Early support from the Ford, Hewlett and Mott Foundations was critical to launching the association. Another similar program is the National Civilian Community Corps, part of the AmeriCorps program, a team-based national service program to which 18- to 24-yearolds dedicate 10 months of their time annually. The Morris I Perry Family Submitted by Julie Ryan julieannryan@msn.com My great-great grandfather, Van Renssalaer Jackson Morris, was born in Des Moines County, Iowa in 1840. In 1864, he enlisted in Iowa's 15th volunteer regiment and on detached duty accompanied General Sherman on his March to the Sea. Around 1872, VRJ and his wife Isabella arrived in southwest Iowa and purchased land in Weston. They brought four children with them, including my great- grandfather, Van Rennsalaer. In 1899, Van Renssalear married Mary Perry whose family had settled in Hardin Township in 1857. The Perry farm included the land that they later donated for Hardin Cemetery. While living on the farm, Van Renssalaer and Mary, along with their two daughters, Emogene, age 13, and Elizabeth, almost 2, endured the Easter Sunday cyclone of March 23, 1913. Old family photos show damage to the barn. My great-grandfather farmed until about 1922 when a disabling stroke forced him to move his family into town. They moved into the house at 34 7 Sherman Ave. and he was hired to work at the Woodward Candy Company. My grandma, Elizabeth, was eleven years old. She told us that she would walk down Oakland Ave. to meet her dad coming home from work, and he would often have his pockets filled with candy! According to Grandma, the owner of the candy company, John G. Woodward, lived on Oakland Ave. and would sometimes give her a ride up the hill in his touring car. What a thrill for a young girl from the country! Va. n_ I believe this is a picture of my great-grandpa, Van Renssalaer Morris. He was born in 1870, so I'm guessing the photo was taken around 1880. Are there clues in the picture to confirm this? I would appreciate any input! 4 r • '- These old family phot(J damage to the farm in J Township during the E Sunday tornado on Mai 1913 . James B. Rue 1830 - 1886 http://www.councilbluffs.k12.ia.us/schools/rue/History.htm James B. Rue Elementary School 3326 Sixth Ave was named for educator James B. Rue. James B. Rue graduated from school and began his teaching career in Kentucky prior to coming to Council Bluffs in 1853. Coincidentally, this was the same year that General Dodge also came to Council Bluffs. James Rue started a private school, which was located on Kanesville Blvd. He was a very good teacher and administrator. He became the principal of the first high school in these parts. The high school was located high on a hill in Council Bluffs. The local papers joked about the location of this school saying, "it was like mountain climbing". Rue's next venture was to become the Pottawattamie County Superintendent. In 1863 he left the Council Bluffs Schools for 10 years and explored the furniture business. In 1873 Rue returned to the school scene and went to work at the new Washington School. He left that position to be the principal at the Council Bluffs High School. In 1877 he left the Midwest and went to California. James B. Rue was very instrumental in starting the schools in the Council Bluffs area. Before he came to Council Bluffs, it was just a frontier. James B. Rue Elementary School was built and the cornerstone laid on July 18, 1924. Rue was built due to the need for more schools in the west end of Council Bluffs. More people were moving into the area. \Vhen Rue was built it had so many students that an addition was necessary in just 3 years.

KINSMAN FAMILY VISITS A CESTOR'S CITY Civil War Hero Council Bluffs Nonpareil 21 June 2009 Mike Carr (right) and other members of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, background, held a dedication ceremony Saturday for the family descendants of Colonel William Henry Kinsman, a Council Bluffs resident killed in 1863 during the Battle of Black River Bayou in Mississippi. The ceremony was held at Kinsman's monument in Fairview Cemetery in the presence of a great nephew, Paul Kinsman and his wife Sharon, left. Their son, Benjamin Kinsman, also attended. It was the first visit to the site for Kinsman and his wife, who live in Nova Scotia, Canada. Other Civil War soldiers buried in the cemetery were also honored. Members who belong to the Sons of the Union Veterans of the civil War, based in Griswold, are all descendants of soldier from that war.

Extractions from the HISTORICAL SKETCH TIDRD BATTERY IOWA LIGHT ARTILLERY Roster and Record of Iowa Troops In the Rebellion, Vol. 5 By Guy E. Logan http://iagenweb.org/civilwar/books/logan/mil721.htm The Third Iowa Battery was organized under special authority from the Secretary of War, during the months@ August and September 1861, at Dubuque, Iowa, under the name of the Dubuque Battery, and was attached to the Ninth Regiment Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and went into quarters at Camp Union, near Dubuque. The necessary additional enlistments-to complete the organization of a full battery of artillerywere soon secured and, on September 24,1861, the muster in of the battery was completed. The roster shows that, upon the completion of its muster, the battery numbered one hundred forty men, rank and file. The battery, with the Ninth Iowa Infantry, left Camp Union on September 26, 1861, and, embarking on the steamer "Canada," was conveyed to St. Louis, arriving there on the 30th, and going into quarters at Benton Barracks, near that city. On November 13, 1861, the company was ordered to proceed to Pacific City, Mo., thirty-five miles west of St. Louis, where it remained until near the last of January 1862. About the first of December it received its armament of six guns- four six pounder bronze guns and two twelve pounder howitzers-and the other requisite equipage appertaining to a field battery. On January 25, 1862. Captain Hayden was ordered to proceed with the battery to Rolla, Mo., to which place it was conveyed by rail and, upon its arrival there, joined the army under command of Major General Curtis, then about to begin an aggressive campaign against the enemy. General Curtis, in anticipation of an attack by the enemy, had wisely concentrated his army in a strong position at Pea Ridge. The attack was made in a most determined manner, early on the morning of March 7, 1862. The Third Iowa Battery proceeded to the front with its brigade. Two sections of the battery went into action near Elkhorn Tavern, relieving the First Iowa Battery, which had suffered heavy loss, and had several of its caissons exploded by the fire of the refuel batteries in its front. The position was one of the most exposed on the field. The rebel gunners had gotten the range quite accurately, and their fire was destructive. Before the two sections of the Third Iowa had been under fire ten minutes, one gun had been disabled, one caisson blown up, several of the men wounded, and a number of the horses killed and disabled. Colonel Carr, the division commander, observing the desperate situation in which the two sections had been placed, and realizing the danger of their being entirely disabled or captured, ordered them to fall back out of range and await assignment to a less exposed position. The entire battery then took a position to the right of Elkhorn Tavern, where it remained until the entire division was forced to fall back in the evening. Notice how many of the men fought as a substitute. This was a common practice during the Civil War. Serving from Pottawattamie County: Allison, Moses H. Age 21.

(Substitute for Paul C. Devol) The Beck Family - Germany to Iowa! by Richard L. Beck dickshirleybeck@cox.net When you research your family tree you never know what you are going to discover! It is most rewarding when you actually locate a living relative back in Europe. Without the aid of a computer and access to the Internet this would have been nearly impossible. In April of 1854, my great- grandfather, Asmus Hinrich Beck, sold the land in Strukdorf; Germany that he had inherited from his father, Johann Hinrich Beeck, and began a journey that would eventually take him and his family to Mills County, Iowa. The name was spelled with a double e in Germany. Johann Hinrich Beeck was an Elgenkatener with some land and he was also a tailor. An Elgenkatener was the class just under a Hufner who was a large farmer, upper class; a Hufner was an intermediary between the government and his colleagues. Asmus Hinrich Beck sold his property to a community buyer, which consisted of some people of Strukdorf; Hans Hinrich Beck was one of the buyers. Asmus then paid his two sisters for their share of the property. Most of the Becks settled in southwest Iowa. The two exceptions were Asmus' daughters Margaretha Beck who died in Davenport, Iowa. She married Johann Hinrich Schwartz; they had one child in Germany and one in Davenport, Iowa. She stayed in Davenport and died there at the age of 35. She is buried in the Public Grounds, Davenport City Cemetery. The other daughter of Asmus, Elsabe, stayed in Davenport with her husband, John G. Spethman until 1883. They sold their farm and moved to Sarpy County, Nebraska. John passed away in 1895 and Elsabe in 1910. They are buried in the Salem Church Cemetery in Plumer Settlement. In April of 1859, Christian H. Beck, my grandfather son of Asmus, purchased land in Pottawattamie County, Iowa from his sister Catherine (Beck) Spethman and her husband Hans Henry Spethman. Christian married Sarah Young in June of that year. This is the 1860 census for St Mary's Township, Mills County, the name is spelled Back. Asmus 52 tailor, E. 52, Asmus 18, Hans 16, Mary 14, Henry 12, Christine 23, all born Holstein. Asmus H. Beck and Christian H. Beck are listed as founding fathers of the Salem Lutheran Church in the Plumer Settlement. I had been researching my ancestors for over ten years but could not find information on a son of Asmus, Cordt Friederich Beck, younger brother of my grandfather. Over the years I found information and people but could not connect them. I decided that joining the Pottawattamie County Genealogical Society was the logical thing for me to do. After I joined I learned about researchers Randy Beck and Carolyn Beno. Carolyn is a descendant of Catherine Beck, another daughter of Asmus. The pieces to the Beck puzzle all came together when I contacted Randy Beck. To my surprise I found out that Richard G. Beck, a high school classmate was the father of Randy, Roy Beck was Randy's grandfather, Ernest and Anna were the parents of Roy and the father of Ernest was Cordt Friederich Beck. From then on Randy and I exchanged a lot of information on our respective Beck lines. We discovered that Randy's GG Grandfather, Cordt, lived for a while with my grandfather on his farm in Lewis Township. I appreciate Randy's interest and research ability. Randy is also responsible for connecting us to some relatives in Germany. Randy put a web page on the Internet in May 2002 on the old Saar's Field cemetery located on the VanPelt Farm in Mills County, using pictures that he took from his first visit to the cemetery in the spring of 2000. He included some vintage pictures that were provided by Mary Plumer. Martin Loof, from Wuppertal, Germany found his website and emailed us. Randy called me right away so excited; we could not believe our luck! After sending e-mails to exchange information on our lines we confirmed that we are indeed connected and have the same ancestors. Martin's line descends from a sister of Asmus, Anna Margaretha Beck. I am a second great grandson of Johann Hinrich Beeck and Martin Loof, is his fourth great grandson. My wife, Shirley, and I planned a trip to Germany in the fall of 2006; my nephew and his wife accompanied us. Martin was happy that we were coming and gave us a lot of information for the trip. We met Martin at a hotel in Kiel; he was our guide for two very exciting days. The first morning we drove to farm villages of W esterrade, Greschendorf, and Strukdorf. Martin had arranged for us to meet relatives in Strukdorf, Hans August Studt and his wife Helga. Their son and his family lived across the road on the land next to the property that had belonged to Johann Hinrich Beeck. Helga prepared a delicious dinner for us. After dinner we walked around Strukdorf and then drove to the Pronstorf Church, which my ancestors attended. Martin had already provided the church records on the Beck family, they are kept in Segeberg. Hans August Studt is my 4th cousin twice removed and Martin Loof is my 3rd cousin twice removed. When we returned to the home of Hans and Helga, she had dessert for us with a big bowl of whipped cream. Martin asked us where else would we like to go and I said Lubeck. That is where the people from the small villages went to do their shopping many years ago. We left Strukdorf around 5:00 pm; it was a short drive to Lubeck. Martin took us on a walking tour, the streets and sidewalks are narrow and paved with cobblestone which makes hard walking. On the second day, Martin took us on a driving tour of Kiel; we stopped at the outdoor market where you could buy all kinds of delicious foods. It is open twice a week all year around. Then he took us to the Maritime Museum in Kiel. Martin also arranged for us to go to his friends' organic dairy farm where we toured their milking operation. They served us coffee, tea, and desserts, again with a big bowl of whipped cream, which we enjoyed on their patio. After we left the dairy farm Martin took us to the Olympic Village in Kiel where the sailing events took place in 1972. The next morning Martin picked us up at our hotel and took us to the train station. He helped us on the train and hugged us good-by. Martin made our visit to Germany a wonderful experience. Because of our genealogical research it provided us with the tools and information on our German ancestors. It was a rewarding experience. We felt very privileged.
