To-day things have changed; the whole county is well cultivated and developed, with towns and postoffices on every hand. In 1882 the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Company constructed its Council Bluff's line through the county, traversing the northwestern part. Upon this line there

are four good-sized stations-Defiance, Earl- ing, Panama and Portsmonth. The Kirkman branch of the Chicago & Northwestern Rail- road was built through the northeastern part of the county in 1881, to a point seven miles north and east of Harlan, and the village of Kirkman established. This place, with Irwin in the northeastern township of the county, gives excellent trading places and markets for all that section of country. The present towns and postoffices are as follows:
Harlan, with a population of 2,000
Shelby, 66 600

According to the State census reports of 1885, Shelby County, June 1 of that year, had a population of 16,306, which in 1888 had increased to nearly 18,000, at which time there were 3,291 dwellings.
DEFUNCT VILLAGES.
ITAN.
Notwithstanding the county plat books do not show this, one of Shelby County's first villages, nevertheless it was staked out by Mansel Wicks and a man named Dodge. It took its singular name from a town of the same name in South America, where Wicks, one of the proprietors of this embryo village, was cast away by a shipwreck, ahont 1852. The location of this place was near L. D. Sunderland's home, on section 4, township 79, range 38, in what is now Harlan Town- ship. A stock of goods was put in there by Jacob Majors. This place was also started with the view of getting the county seat
located there, it being near the center of the county; and this, like several other center- ing locations, fell into a dreamless sleep and soon expired !
SHELBYVILLE.
This is the oldest village of the county. It was regularly platted October 30, 1854, and was the point designated by the committee, who located the county seat in 1853-'54, as the place for the seat of justice. Its location was section 27, township 81, range 40, west, and in what is now Grove Township. Quite a prosperous village sprang into existence there, but upon the removal of the county seat to Harlan, the vitality of Shelbyville was soon sapped and the numerous residences and business houses erected there were torn down or removed to Harlan and other points. For many years there has been no trace of a village there. In reality it had an existence from 1854 to 1860, but yet it is replete with pioneer incidents now almost lost in the minds of the few remaining old settlers, and scarcely ever spoken of by the younger gen- eration.
SIMODA.
This was a village platted a mile and a half east of Harlan, in September, 1857, by County Surveyor Samuel Dewell, on land owned by Milton Heath and wife. It was situated on the east half of the southeast quarter of section 8, and the west half of the southwest quarter of section 9, township 79, range 38, west. Its name originated from a character named Som-i-daw, taken from a novel which one of the first settlers of Simoda was reading at the time the village was being platted. The place was started for the purpose of locating the county seat, and also was to be an important station on the then proposed Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway, which finally took a more southern
260
HISTORY OF SHELBY COUNTY.
route through Avoca and Shelby. It was a well-designed plat; the survey shows that the streets were all eighty feet wide, except " Railroad street," which was 100 feet. The depot grounds were surveyed 200 by 720 feet. A paper-the first newspaper in Shelby County-was established at Simoda in the spring of 1859, a history of which appears in the chapter devoted to the newspaper press elsewhere in this book. The place was a rival village of Harlan, and was indeed a beautiful site for a town, situated as it was at the forks of the two branches of the Nishna- botna River, on high, rolling ground. At one time, during 1859-'60, there were about twenty residences and business honses, in- elnding the New Idea printing office and N. W. Merrill's general store. A copy of the first newspaper was recently shown the writer. It contained the following business eards: William Reed, blacksmith, Manteno, Ia .; A. C. Ford, attorney and counselor at law; Dewell & Holbrook, county surveyors.
Quite a spirited warfare was carried on between the people of Harlan and Simoda, known as the "Simoda war," contesting for the location of the county seat, but when by a vote of the people it was finally located at Ilarlan, Simoda lost its grip and soon went to decay, now only having a name in the musty plats of the county recorder's books and in the memory of the pioneers of Shelby County. The buildings were sold and re- moved to Harlan and to adjoining farms. Thus rose and fell the third village started in the county.
MANTENO.
This is among the villages platted in 1859, the same having been filed for record April 19 of that year. It is situated on section 18, township 81, range 40, west, and in what is now known as Grove Township, and is two
or three miles from the defnnet village of Shelbyville. At one time it was quite a hamlet, but after the county seat was re- moved from Shelbyville to Harlan, and other towns took rank as trading points, Manteno declined. At present there is but little aside from a few shops, a general store and the postoffice, all of which are a great aecomino- dation to the surrounding farming commn- nity, who find it too far to go to the railroad towns for the staple goods they may require.
PRESENT TOWNS AND VILLAGES.
HARLAN.
Harlan, the county seat of Shelby County, is situated principally on section 18, township 79, range 38, near the geographical center of the county. It was named in honor of one of Iowa's early and quite distinguished United States Senators, James Harlan. The original plat, however, was located on seetion 7, of the same township and range-a mile from the present business center. Their first plat- ting was executed by Adam and May Tuttle. and filed for record August 9, 1858. It was on low bottom land near the meanderings of the Nishnebotna River, and only flourished a short time, owing mainly to the fact that the land was not suitable.
The next platting was what is known as " Long's Addition." This was laid ont and platted by James M. Long, July 15, 1859, and now constitutes the greater part of Har- lan. However, in the course of a few years, what is known as " Wyland's Addition" and " MeDonald's Addition" were laid out and now form part of the place.
BEAUTY OF ITS LOCATION.
Iowa contains many pretty towns, but very few present to the eye a more charming natural landscape than the flourishing town of Harlan, environed as it is by a beautiful and rolling farming country, with here and
261
HISTORY OF SHELBY COUNTY.
there a good-sized grove of native timber- just sufficient to break the monotony of an otherwise prairie country. It matters not whether one views the town from one of the elevated tracts of land on either hand- whether standing on the bluff looking east, catching now and then a glimpse of that piet- uresque and extremely crooked stream, the Nishnebotna River, the meanderings of which at some seasons of the year look like a silver cord, broken in two, here and there, or whether one views it from an incoming train, from the south -- the seene is one calculated to attract one to the place. In midsummer the vast fields of waving grain and corn, with the verdure of the forest trees, both natural and those planted by the hardy-handed pioneer, lend an enticing beauty which nature unas- sisted could not produce. Then you should pause a while at Harlan and watch the busy mart, thronged with hundreds of farmers' teams which have come in with various prod- ucts, and soon to return with the goods for which they have made an exchange. As one approaches the town from any given direction he is at once pleased and impressed at the sight of the numerous church spires pointing heavenward, as well as the excellent high- school building, with its dome towering high above and over all. These bespeak the cult- ure and social refinement of the populace, in tones unmistakable. " God made the country -man the city," and to the lover of nature no more beautiful location can be found than Harlan, which at this date-1888-is three decades old and has a population of 2,000 in round numbers.
The first building erected was a small shanty, put up and lived in by Isaac Plum, while he was providing better quarters. He had first located at Simoda, across the river, and when he saw that Harlan was to be the county seat, he made an arrangement with 22
Messrs. Long & Ault, proprietors of the latter place, to remove his effects to their village site. Peter Barnett kept the first boarding-house in Harlan, in 1858. In the fall of 1858, William B. Newton built a house in which was kept the first tavern. The first real hotel built in Harlan was that erected by J. M. Long in 1871; he operated it a short time when it fell into other hands. It was called " The Harlan Hotel."
The first harness-maker was Aaron Berg- stresser, who located soon after the close of the rebellion.
William A. Gray, who succeeded Harvey & Woodruff as general dealers, carried the first line of hardware, hollow-ware and stoves, beginning in 1860.
The first druggist was Dr. Frost, who came soon after the village was platted. Dr. Rich- ard M. Smith, who came from Newton, Iowa, was the next in the drug trade.
The pioneer shoemaker was George M. Couffer.
The first furniture was handled by a man named McClaren, who located in 1868. Prior to that date people were compelled to go to Council Bluffs for even a common wooden- bottom chair, or provide one of a home make, which was stronger than it was easy or ele- gant, but style did not reign supreme in those earlier days!
A building at Simoda, belonging to Isaac Plumb, was partly up and on a foundation properly made, but Harlan people wanted the new frame house to go up in their place, so a road was ent out through trees and bushes along the river, and the building removed by five teams. The work on this building was commenced April 14, 1858, and was removed and nearly finished before May the same year.
Just at this time Harlan began to have a genuine pioneer boom-the sound of the
262
HISTORY OF SHELBY COUNTY.
hammer and saw was heard on every hand; lumber was in great demand; also workmen. The above named building was finally finished off and sold to a firm who sold the first goods in the place; it was composed of Dr. Ault, A. L. Harvey and L. W. Woodruff, later known as Harvey & Woodruff. This store was located on block 5 of the original plat of Harlan. The years 1858-'59 were busy years at Harlan; among the buildings erected were, after those just named, David H. Randall's, Peter Barnett's, S. A. Sidner's and J. J. Tuck's. Barnett sold a fine yoke of oxen, and with the money purchased his lumber, ent at the new saw- mill.
The first blacksmith who stood by an anvil in Harlan was a young man whose name is long since forgotten by the early settlers. Ile worked, later in the town's history, with D. H. Randall, who came from Clinton County, Iowa, and operated a shop some time. Men named Babb and Johnson were early blacksmiths.
The first meat that was sold in retail way was peddled ont at Harlan once a week by Abraham Kniss, who weighed with the old style steelyards, and it is said never allowed the beam to go too high in dealing out his meat, having an eyeevidently to business! The first regular meat shop was started by John Stanley in 1871; he is still in the business, holding a large patronage.
The earliest to engage in millinery busi- ness was Mrs. J. W. Sharp, in 1873.
The first Fourth of July celebration was held in Harlan in 1858, and the first liberty pole erected that Independence day, on the high ground upon which H. C. Holcomb's residence now stands, which was away out of the business part of Harlan. The orator was Stephen King, of Harrison County. A dance was held in the evening, at which there was much sport and innocent amusement.
The first religions service on the town plat of Harlan was conducted by Judge Tarkington, the county judge, who was also a Methodist preacher. The first denomina- tion to build a church edifice was the Bap- tist society, who built in 1871, the same serving that people until their present fine church building was presented to them in 1886 by James M. Long, original proprietor of the town proper.
The livery business was first represented by George D. Ross, in 1873.
A copy of the first newspaper published at Harlan in 1859, spoken of in the Press chapter, has advertisements of L. G. Tubbs, general dealer; William Gay & Co., general dealers and produce and commission; also a card appeared of A. M. Kime & Co., carpen- ters and bnilders.
Another peculiar pioneer trader in general merchandise was one " Mr. " Bates, who ran a general store for one season, having about the premises several elerks, . who, together with the community, had all those months been thinking " he " was a man, when lo! and behold, a Conneil Bluff's physician was called to attend her in serious sickness, the fact was revealed that " he " was of the truly feminine gender. Upon the disclosure of this the general store of Bates & Co. soon became a thing of curiosity in the past. This peenliar person made frequent trips with the sheriff and other county officials to Council Bluff's and other places, but they never once thought they were bedfellows with other than a man; bnt such was the case!
The first to embark in the jewelry business at Harlan was a man named Gidden, who, about 1870, was sent here to open a branch concern for a dealer at Atlantic named A. D. lfill.
Prior to 1867 the people of Harlan had to I go without photographs, or else make a long
263
HISTORY OF SHELBY COUNTY.
journey to Council Bluffs; but in the fall of that year an artist named Gander opened a studio, such as it was, in the upper story of the old court-house.
P. B. Hunt was among the earliest lumber dealers, going into business soou after the railroad came.
The first elevator was built in August, 1879, by J. S. Murray. It had a capacity of 10,000 bushels. This was destroyed by fire in February, 1882, and rebuilt in June the same year.
Cananan & Bechtel built an elevator also in 1879, having a 10,000-bushel capacity.
J. M. Mosby crected the third grain ele- vator in 1882, with the same capacity as those above named.
M. J. Murray erected a warehouse of 5,000- bushel capacity in 1886. Those handling grain at Harlan in the fall of 1888 were M. J. Murray, J. F. Platt & Co., Lockwood & Brother.
THE TELEPHONE LINE.
About 1880 the Hawkeye Telephone Com- pany built a line of telephone to Harlan from Avoca. It soon became known as the Iowa Telegraph and Telephone Company, and from that incorporated into what is now known as the Iowa Union Telephone Company. In Shelby County it operates an " exchange " at Harlan, Kirkman, Irwin, Defiance and Earl- ing, besides many private lines, some going to farm houses, allowing daily market reports from eastern markets.
The first banking business transacted at Harlan by a home concern was in 1873, when C. J. & D. M. Wyland, who were engaged in real-estate business, began banking on a small scale in a little lean-to building, where they remained a short time and found a good paying banking business growing on their * hands. They were obliged to remove to a
frame building, 14 x 16 feet, which then stood on the west side of the public square; but this soon became too small a room, and in 1880 they erected a fine, substantial brick banking room, in which is now operated the Bank of Harlan and a general land and real estate office.
The Shelby County Bank was incorporated under the laws of Iowa, in December, 1880, with a cash capital of $50,000. W. E. Hazen was the first cashier. It is what is known as a State bank, and has been successful from the commencement. Its present officers are: W. W. Wheeler, President; B. Kees, Vice- President; M. K. Campbell, Cashier. 1ts place of business is within its own brick building, situated east from the public square.

THE POST-OFFICE.
A postoffice was established at Harlan in 1858, the first postmaster being William Henderson, who kept the office at his resi- dence, on the left bank of the Nishnabotna River. Among the postmasters who followed him were: William A. Gray, D. H. Ran- dall, II. C. Holcomb, N. W. Babcock, S. P. Kinsey, Sr., B. I. Kinsey. The last named served until April 1, 1888, and was sue- ceeded by Jonathan B. Stutsman. S. P. Kinsey and his son held the office for four- teen years. The office became a money-order office in July, 1874, the first order being issned to J. E. Roekwood, for $1.05, payable to E. S. Tupper, of Des Moines. The full number of money orders issued np to No- vember 27, 18SS, was 24,436, or an average of about five per business day for the whole time.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
From the earliest date the people of Har- lan have sought for the best educational ad- vantages, never begrudging the money thus expended. The first term of school taught on the present site of Harlan was held by L. W. Woodruff in a log house which stood where now stands the City Hotel. It was in the summer of 1859. The next to teach were Mrs. William Gray and Miss Sue Dunning- ton, who taught in the brick house ereeted by Isaac Plum, in the summer and fall of 1859. This building was 20 x 24 feet, and
265
HISTORY OF SHELBY COUNTY.
stood where the Methodist church now stands, and served as school-house, public hall for church and political gatherings, as well as county fairs. Could this building have recorded its own history ere it fell back to dust, it would have unfolded a story of pioneer days full of thrilling events and happy incidents. As the population in- creased this became too small, hence in 1871 it was torn down and a two-story frame house erected on the original six school lots purchased at an early day. It cost $2,500, and was 25 x 50 feet on the ground. A few years later an addition was made to it of two more school-rooms, which served the district until 1881, when the beantiful high school building was completed. . The old frame house was converted into a residence for John Derks, and was destroyed by fire a few years later. The new building was erected by S. Bryan, at a cost of $18,000. It is a three-story building, divided into nine de- partments, and is of most modern design throughout, and is steam heated. One jani- tor, J. B. Swain, has thus far been employed at $40 per month, and through his excellent management the building, engine and heat- ing appliances have been kept in good repair.
Ten teachers are employed at this time, the principal receiving $1,200 per year, while eight assistants receive $45 per month, and one $55 per month. The present (1888) en- rollment of scholars is 625, the majority of which reside in Harlan.
SOCIETIES.
The first secret societies to occupy our attention would naturally be the order of Free and Accepted Masons. The traditions of Freemasonry form a precious heritage. Rightly interpreted, they are as beneficent as they are authoritative. This ancient and hon- orable order rests on a foundation of broad
human sympathies. Its objects are by pre- cept and practice to foster virtue, to incul- cate charity, and to bind the members to- gether in enduring bonds of brotherly love. It is a professor and teacher of every moral and social virtue.
This institution has its foundation deeply laid in the hopes, aspirations and affections of man, or it never could have come down to us through the ages, evolving and develop- ing with the lapse of time, adapting itself through revolving centuries to the changes of religion, civilization and enlightenment, ever retaining its hold upon the human heart.
All political agitation is excluded from its action and consideration. The very charac- ter of its membership is a guarantee not only of its freedom from aught that is harmful, but of its possession of much that is laudable and desirable. Members of the order are to be found in every land and clime; it is not confined to sect, station, people or tongue- neither does it show preference for members on account of wealth or high social stand- ing. Rich and poor, statesman and warrior, scholar and laborer, men from every honest class and honorable profession, meet upon one common level and clasp each other's hands in fraternal grasp.
Masonry has grown and flourished to a wonderful extent in Shelby County; it has a very large and active membership, embracing within its fold many of the very best citizens, who are enthusiastic and zealous workers in its glorious cause.
