POST-MASTERS OF WINTERSET.
Enos Berger was the first Post-Master of Winterset. John A. Pitzer was the next Post-Master, and served the county several years in that capacity. Thomas Bird and Wm. M. Knowlton, were the next to receive the postal honors. Mastin Glazebrook received the appointment in 1864, and he served with great satisfaction, until the change of administration in 1860, when J. J. Davies received the appointment as Post-master, in which capacity he served until the summer of 1867. Francis Marion Cassidy then received the appoint- ment, and he is at the present time our very faithful and accommo- dating Post-master.

VANMETER
Is a nice little town situated on Coon River, in Dallas county, fourteen miles north-east of Winterset, and nearly three miles north of the Madison county line, on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad. It is on the south bank of the river, one-half mile below the confluence of North and South Coon Rivers. Naturally, it belongs to Madison county, because rivers are natural boundaries, and a principal part of its trade comes from Madison county. Its location is good, for nature has done much for it. It is a good wood station for the railroad, for there is plenty of timber accessible. And there is also a good prospect that plenty of coal will be found convenient to the town. Water can be conveniently procured by digging from twelve to thirty feet, which is of a good quality. There is abundance of good stone within half a mile of the town. The town was first named Tracy, but has been changed because the railroad company refused to recognize that name. Its present name is in honor of Mr. Jacob R. Vanmeter, who has for years been one of the live men of Dallas county. The town was laid out by Wm. F. D. Wilson, in April,

HISTORY.
1868. The first business building was built by William Whitmore, and used as a grocery. Dr. D. A. Bunce came to the place soon after and hung out his sign. The McCoy House, the best building in the place, was erected in May, 1868. The town has improved rapidly, though not in favor by the railroad company, and now contains sixty- five houses, and a population of about two hundred and twenty-five souls. The public school of the place is attended by sixty pupils, and is now under the supervision of J. M. Mosena, a teacher of experience and ability. The first sermon ever preached in the town limits, was delivered in the bar-room of the McCoy House, by Rev. T. D. Adams, a Methodist preacher. The town is represented by the following business men : Clayton Brothers have a good stock of dry goods and groceries and they are reliable business men. J. D. Ellis keeps a general store and is doing a good business. Those who deal in gro- ceries exclusively are, Maticks & McKey, J. J. Moore, and G. H. Wood. They are all liberally patronized. The two drug stores in the place are owned by Dr. C. M. Dodge and Dr. E. L. Russell. They are also practicing physicians. A. Tindle keeps a neat house and grocery. The boot and shoemakers of the place are Christoff & Doty. Logan Doty is the only harness maker in the place. J. C. Taylor owns and runs a steam saw-mill. Getchel & Tichenor have an extensive lumber yard here kept by Stephen Adams and are doing a good business. The two hotels are the McCoy House and the Graham House. Peter White has a large stock of hardware and is rapidly building up a trade. The four physicians of the place are Doctors D. M. Bunce, E. L. Russell, C. M. Dodge and H. C. H. Fitzgerald. Dr. Fitzgerald is a graduate of the medical college at Keokuk. W. B. H. Wilson, one of the oldest residents of the county, is Postmaster. The large flouring mill of Vanmeter & Ellis, the most extensive mill in the county, and one of the best in the State, is located here. The cost of this mill was about forty thousand dollars. The railroad company have now determined to erect a depot at this point, which will give new life to the town. The Methodists, the only organized religious denomination of the place, are building a very neat church edifice. The morals of the place are good, and it is a very desirable location for business men of all classes.
DE SOTO.
Although this thriving town is not situated in Madison county, yet it is located so close to its line and receives so large a portion of its trade that it is eminently deserving of a place in the history of the county. The town is located on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad, in Dallas county, on a beautiful eminence or hill, fourteen miles north of

HISTORY.
Winterset. It was laid out early in the spring of 1868. The original town plat, embracing one hundred acres, was owned by G. J. & H. G Vanmeter and Thomas Hemphill, who donated the land as a free gift to the Railroad Company ; they being possessed by nature with broad and generous views, had sufficient foresight to see the necessity of the gift. The Railroad Company afterwards bought one hundred and sixty acres adjoining the town and have laid it out in three and five acre tracts, which will afford valuable sites for residences. The town now contains about one hundred houses and about five hundred inhabitants. The inhabitants are a live, energetic, go-a-head, whole-souled people, all proud of their town and thankful that they live in so good a location. Some fine houses are now in process of building, and the town gives every indication of a rapid growth.
Scarcely was the survey completed by Capt. A. J. Lyon, then County Surveyor, when the site was named. It was christened De Soto, and its god-father was a railroad man. Why that name was suggested history does not tell us. Certainly not in honor of the great explorer, for men are so wise now-a-days that even names must be practical as well as pretty.
De Soto himself was not a success, although he had more than ordinary enthusiasm and courage, but though he failed to find the "Fountain of Youth " he discovered the Mississippi river, which, if the term may be allowed, is his monument, as it holds his remains, so if he failed in one thing he grandly succeeded in another. De Soto was probably chosen because it was pretty and easily spoken. Con- ductors who have to " call off" the stations twice a day do not like hard names. De Soto slips off the tongue as easy as "St. Patrick's Day " from a hand organ. At all events De Soto, the town, is a success, and has all the enthusiasm of its namesake with none of his vagaries.
The survey was completed March 27th, 1868. Upwards of three hundred lots were embraced in the original survey, of which two hundred and fifty have been sold, bringing from twenty-five dollars to five hundred dollars each.
The situation of De Soto is favorable. It is within a mile of the south fork of the Coon river, which affords excellent water privileges. Bulger Creek runs through the one hundred and forty acres adjoining the town on the south, which is valuable for stock purposes. It is bounded by heavy bluffs, which probably contain rich deposits of coal, that will ere long be developed. The land is elevated and rolling, which lends a charm to the scenery and affords choice building sites, and protects the place from much of the mud and filth found in many Western towns. Half a mile to the east is the stone quarry belonging

HISTORY.
to Julius Vanmeter, which yields an excellent variety and almost inexhaustible supply of sandstone, durable and easily dressed.
Another advantage, which has been considerably improved, is the clay deposit near the place, which makes excellent brick.
There is no timber immediately adjoining the town, but it is but a short distance to the river on the north where there is an abundance. Bulger is also lined with excellent timber near by.
An important advantage in De Soto's favor is the railroad interest centered there. Several officers of the road hold town property, and it is natural to suppose that they will use their influence to pro- mote the growth of the place. The company have already built a fine depot, commodious enough for a city of 10,000 people-a large water tank, that is supplied from a spring sixty rods distant, the water being conducted through cast-iron pipes. There is also a turn-table here, the only one between Des Moines and Casey, in Adair county. It is expected that during the year the Company will build a round-house with a capacity for several engines, at this place. If this is done, De Soto will be a division station for freight. The division next east is at Brooklyn, ninety-two miles distant, and the one to be next west, will be at Atlantic, in Cass County, sixty miles distant. It may be noticed that De Soto is not the central point between the two stations, but as the Company is interested in the town and not interested to a great extent in the other stations toward Des Moines, the expectations of the De Soto people may be realized.
The farming country around De Soto is good. It is considerably settled up, but there is still large room for more good farmers.
The first house, or shanty, was built by Wash Smith, who, by the way, was one of the early settlers of Madison county. About the next house finished was by Henry Merryman. Lyon & Hemphill next put up a real estate office.
The business firms of De Soto, at the time of the writing of this book, April 1869, was about as follows :
Real Estate .- Lyon & Hemphill were the first to open a real estate office. It may be said of them that "they have sold De Soto." Until recently they were the only real estate agents in the place. They have a large interest in De Soto. Several buildings have been built by them -the most noticeable one is the two-story brick not yet completed, which measures 44 x 65 feet, with stone basement. It will be finished off in the most approved style. Lyon & Hemphill have their hands full of business and are likely to have for a long time.
Hall & Wyman have recently gone into the real estate business. Mr. Wyman came to De Soto in October and engaged in the hardware

HISTORY.
business. About the first of December, 1868, he sold his stock to Hards & Smith. Mr. Wyman then took in Mr. Hall as a partner, and engaged in the land business. They bought forty acres adjoining the town plat north on the Adel road. They have also bought twenty- eight town lots. They have lately built a handsome new office. There is no doubt about their success. They are business men and gentlemen to deal with.
Dry Goods .- A. Collins was the second who offered dry goods and groceries for sale in the town. He built a fine two-story frame build- ing, using the lower story as a store-room. He has a large stock of dry goods, groceries, &c., and an extensive trade. He is permanently located, and believes in De Soto. He is also Postmaster, and, being a Radical, will probably enjoy the office the next four years.
J. B. O'Neal & Co., are enterprising young merchants. The "Co." are brothers. They also have a store at Newton. Their store always looks attractive, and they sell a large quantity of goods. They tell us that most of their trade comes from Madison county. They commenced business in August. Having a good deal of the fight-it-out-on-that- line spirit, they will succeed.
E. D. Smith & Co., keep a general assortment of dry goods and groceries. They commenced business in August in the building now occupied by R. Hellyer. Having sold that they built another where they are having a satisfactory trade.
Hardware-W. E. Parmelee was the first man who brought on a stock of hardware. He sold out his stock to W. C. Newman. He will continue in the store as an agent for Mr. Newman.
Hard & Smith, manufacturers and dealers in hardware, stoves and tin ware, bought out Mr. Wyman in November. They design keeping a general assortment of agricultural implements. They are young men, also, and are bound to succeed.
Furniture .- Robert Hellyer was among the very first to commence business in De Soto. He first engaged in the grocery trade. He and Mr. Owen built the fine two-story brick store, which they sold to J. D. Cavenor. Mr. Hellyer then bought Smith's building and commenced to sell and manufacture furniture. He employs two hands. His stock is large and so are his sales.
Bakers-W. H. Brown & Bro., first engaged in the grocery business, but soon sold out their stock to J. D. Cavenor. They are nearly ready to start a bakery. They are in the fine two-story building built by J. W.Eldridge. They propose to run a cart to Adel and Winterset.
Drugs .- Dr. S. B. Campbell & Co., opened a fine drug store. Dr. Campbell, besides having had a large experience as a practical

The Doctor is a graduate of Rush Medical College of Chicago; is a gentle- man of culture and is meeting with the success that he deserves. Dr. F. C. Stewart is another highly educated and successful physician. Dr. Thos. M. Cummock, a popular physician, is also a resident of De Soto.
Groceries.
The merchants all keep groceries, but N. Murray is the only one who keeps groceries and nothing else. He bought the fine brick store for- merly owned by J. D. Cavenor, and has it well stocked with all kinds of groceries.
Restaurants.
D. M. Farrar keeps a restaurant and oyster saloon. He has $900 in store building and residence.
A. M. Kibby keeps an oyster saloon and restaurant. He keeps a good house. He will build a new residence in the spring.
M. M. Harrah, restaurant keeper, opened the last of May, was the first man who brought any goods to the place. C. & M. M. Harrah keep a livery stable. They also own the stage line running to Adel.
The Revere House, a large three-story frame, was built by the Rail- road Company. It is now owned by Capt. A. J. Lyon, and its present popular lessee and landlord is L. H. Doty, a man of small stature but big heart.
Miscellaneous.
The Depot is kept by A. Smart, a publie spirited citizen never behind in any good enterprise. Mr. Lewis is the telegraph operator, a good looking unmarried young gentleman.

HISTORY.
There are two blacksmith shops in De Soto. They are kept by B. F. Way, Wm. Cole & Son, and Frank Gilman.
H. G. Van Meter's Flouring Mill is but a mile and a half distant. An addition was built to this mill last summer at a cost of $5,500. This is one of the best mills in the county.
Julius Van Meter sold his interest in the mill last year. His farm of 1080 acres joins De Soto on the north.
The citizens of De Soto have shown their liberality by building a school-house and church by stock subscription. The building is 21x48 feet, and cost $900. It is occupied alternate Sundays by the Presbyte- rian and Methodists. Rev. John E. Darby, formerly an old resident of Madison county, is the Methodist pastor ; and Rev. E. Bayles is the Presbyterian minister.
Messrs. Wm. Kerrick & Co., carpenters and joiners, and A. Kerrick, sign and house painter, who were old settlers in Madison county, are also residents of De Soto, and are doing a thriving business.
Looking back to this time last year when there was not a solitary house where there is now a thriving town of 500 inhabitants, we are reminded of the age of progress we live in, and what railroads will do. We cannot have too many.
DEXTER.
Dexter is a new town on the C., R. I. &. P. R. R., thirty-five miles west of Des Moines, and twenty miles north-west of Winterset. It was laid out about June 30th, 1868.

It is located on the north half of the north-east quarter of section 31, township 78, range 29 west, lying just one half mile east, and three-fourths of a mile north of the south-west corner of Dallas county.
