SCHOOLS.
In the summer of 1857 Mrs. J. P. Pratt, then Miss Mary Gleason, taught a school in her father's house. A. T. Crane taught the first school in a regular public school building, which was built in the winter of 1857-58. In this log building there were forty pupils in attendance. The teacher's wages were fixed at $27 per month-ten dollars in cash from the county fund and the remainder in provisions from the pat- rons of the school. The teacher was ex- amined by D. M. Gamet (there being no such office as Superintendent of Schools at that time.) Mr. Gamet asked for a specimen of his writing and gave him an example in fractions-this secured him a school.
At the present writing the township has six frame schoolhouses and an enrollment of one hundred and eighty pupils. The total value of schoolhouse property is $4,000. This is aside from the village schools.
FOUNTAINBLEAU-(DEFUNCT).
In 1855, a Frenchman named Charles La Ponteur, platted a village on the north- east of section 18-81-44 called Fountain- bleau. It was on the banks of the Little Sioux River and also on the state road. He kept the stage station and had several wives, some of whom . were dusky Sioux wonen. The village never thrived and no trace of it can be found only in the memory of early pioneers who still tell of
the old founder and his high hopes and the soon abandoned place.
MILL HISTORY.
The first sawmill in Little Sioux Town- ship was erected by Schofield & Son, on the Little Sioux River, at the village of Little Sioux in 1857. A coarse grinding attachment was soon added by which meal and feed were ground. The original mill was propelled by steam, but a dam was thrown across the river and the waters of the Little Sioux then furnished the power. Finally the dam washed away and the mill site was abandoned.
During the days of the Civil War Con- dit & Chase put in operation a sawmill on section 26. It was subsequently removed to Morgan Township and sold to other parties.
Conyer & Sons built a sawmill on sec- tion 26 after the war closed ; it burned up finally.
In 1888 T. M. C. Logan built a one hundred-barrel capacity "roller process" mill at the village of River Sioux. It is a combined mill and grain elevator, operated by steam power and is a first-class modern mill.
FIRST THINGS.
The first settler in the township was Silas Condit.
The first religious services were held by the Methodist people in a log schoolhouse at the village of Little Sioux about 1856.
The first minister was Rev. Mr. Rand. It is said he asked a brother to give his ex- perience in "class," whereupon the good brother, in an humble manner remarked, "I am one day older and two days worse it seenis to me."
The first postoffice in the township was
190
HARRISON COUNTY.
established at the village of Little S:oux in 1857. Mail was sent via this point on the Council Bluffs & Sioux City route once each week.
A fatal accident occurred to James Phelps, a mill hand. It was in 1862 and it was occasioned by a splinter or small strip tripping him, while he was acting in the capacity of tailman in Condit & Chase's mill. His body, from the head down, was sawed in two by the rapid-running circular saw. He left a family and many pioneers to lament his terrible and sudden death.
VILLAGE OF LITTLE SIOUX.
This place is beautifully situated on the east bank of the Little Sioux River, on section 24-81-44 and was platted Octo- ber 1, 1855, by Silas W. Condit and T. B. Neeley.
The first to engage in business at this point was David M. Gamet, early in the summer of 1856, on the present site of the B. L. Jones hardware store. Here was a stage station, hotel and general store. He continued until some time dur- ing the war and then sold to Silas Ellis, who operated the hotel a short time and sold to Amos S. Chase, who ran it a year and sold to Joseph Fox. The building was finally removed to another lot and a part of it used for a dwelling. Later it was converted into a saloon and was burned in the spring of 1890.
After selling to Ellis, Mr. Gamet built a new store, into which he inoved his goods and continued to operate until 1885, when he died.
Benjamin Tabor was the third to en- gage in trade; this was in 1866. He oper- ated a general store where M. Murray's store now stands. Three years later he sold to J. J. Peck and he to "Mike" Mur- ray.
In 1870 B. F. Croasdale put in a general store. The firm is now Croasdale & Scott.
Hope Bros. engaged in the mercantile calling early in the '70s. George T. and W. H. Hope made up the firm. They op- erated in a frame building until it was de- stroyed by fire in 1890. William Hope then erected his present brick storeroom and engaged in the drug trade.
About 1875 T. J. Lanyon, a present dealer, engaged in trade.
Clark Ellis embarked in the drug busi- ness in 1875 and still continues.
Cobb & Ellis engaged in the hardware and agricultural implement business in 1875. They continued until 1885 when Mr. Cobb died and soon the store was sold to Jones Bros.
C. E. Cobb handled the first lumber sold.
The hotel business went from David M. Gamet to Benjamin Bonney & Sons (J. W. and H. H Bonney.) The last named son ran the business until the spring of 1891, when he sold to J. J. Rey- nolds.
The first blacksmith of the place was a Mormon preacher named George Mon- tague, who came in the '50s.
The first wagon shop was operated by G. W. Bays; the first livery barn by H. H. Bonney.
In 1878 W. L. Woodward established an exclusive agricultural implement business. He ran five years and sold to O. Walker and he in turn to A. M. Jones, who, in 1889 sold to A. M. Silsby.

OPERA HOUSE.
In 1884 a skating rink was built by Ev- eritt & Whiting .. As soon as the interest
had been lost for the roller skating fashion Whiting & Hope purchased the property and converted it into a fine public hall and opera house. It is supplied with a good stage and all the usual scenery.
POST-OFFICE.
A post-office was established here in 1857 with Silas Condit as postmaster. Following him came David M. Gamet, John A. Forgeus, T. J. Lanyon, who held it fourteen years; then came A. W. Min- tun, in Cleveland's administration. He was succeeded by R. C. West. It was made a money order office in July, 1875. The first money order was sold to Samuel Ellis, the amount was $5, payable to Charles L. Courier, of Chicago. The full number of orders issued to November 10, 1891, was eighteen thousand, one hundred and forty-seven ; number of postal notes, five thousand nine hundred and sixteen.
SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.
A log schoolhouse was built in 1857, which served as a general public building. In it the school was held and also the re- ligious services and old time dances. In 1860 a frame building was built, the same is now used by Hope Bros. for their furni- ture business. In 1875 the present fine two- story frame building was erected at a cost of $3,000. It is divided into four rooms, two below and two above.
NEWSPAPERS.
Back of the present Independent, pub- lished at this point, is much intricate his- tory, but suffice to say that Samuel Dewell of Magnolia, who operated a hotel there at one time, was the author of a primary geography, which he wished to put on the market. Consequently he bought a cyl- inder press and upon it got out a small
192

"first edition" and then started the Senti- nel at Little Sioux, some time in the '70s. It was a Republican paper and after some changes fell into the hands of William Wonder, who founded the Independent at Mondamin. In 1862 he was succeeded by W. D. Butts, the oldest typo in this part of Iowa, who conducted it a year or so there and moved the plant to Little Sioux where it is still issued. It is a very clean, creditable, local sheet. It is a five-column quarto in form and size.
In this connection will be given ex- tracts from the Magnolia Republican of 1859, and also a happy "come back" at the Logan Courier, showing the style of Mr. Butts, the editor of the Independent.
The Magnolia Republican of June 4, 1859, said :
"The Mink," a government boat, was at the Little Sioux Landing on yesterday, loading corn purchased of George S. Bacon of this place. This landing is at the city of Little Sioux, two miles up stream from where it empties into the Missouri. Two very large boats have vis- ited this point, which seems to be the best landing in this section of the country."
The editor, D. W. Butts, comes back at the Logan Courier as follows, in reply to a statement concerning a man named Hard being the oldest typo in the county : "Now friend Hard may be the oldest and slightly the homeliest man of early typos of this section, but the present typo of the Independent makes some pretensions all the same. We printed the first election ticket that hid itself in a Harrison County ballot-box and the first ball tickets that shook up the French and half-cast and the Mormon girls of this part of western Iowa. Stir the ancients easily like, Bro. George Musgrave!"
28, 1859, the following appeared : "Off for the Gold Mines." A party of gold hunters left this village for the gold mines a few days ago, "Brigadier-General" Wyatt in command. They take through a steam sawmill and other machinery. Another section of this same train will start' next week under "Lieut." John W. Cooper.
The local paper at the time (July 27, 1859) said : On Thursday, last week, O. V. Brainard prepared to descend into his well at Magnolia; he had one foot in the bucket and holding to the rope with his hands, swinging over the well, when the gudgeon in the windlass gave way, letting him fall to the bottom of a well fifty-five feet deep. He was bruised considerably and he was plunged into the water, but fortunately not deep enough to strangle him.
