EDUCATIONAL.

Mondamin was set off as an independent school district in March, 1883, by a vote of 27 to 3. A small frame building had been erected in 1873. This served until 1883, when a good one-story frame build- ing was erected, at a cost of $1,800, and later on a smaller room was built in the same yard. The school property is in the center of the town, and is indeed neat and

NEWSPAPER.

The only newspaper venture of any note at the village of Mondamin was the Mondamin Independent; it was established by William Wonder, the first number being issued August 13, 1881. The pro- prietor had been publishing a musical journal and had the mechanical part exe- cuted elsewhere, bnt finally put in a press and type for the purpose of doing his own work, after which he started a local news- paper devoted to the interests of Monda- min and vicinity. It soon began to out- strip the Banner, which was the name of his musical publication, as far as profit was concerned, hence he dropped the lat- ter and devoted his time and attention to the local sheet. It was at first a six-col- 'umn folio and later changed to a five-col- umn quarto. He continued to conduct it for eighteen months when he sold to D. W. Butts and went to Whiting, Monona County, Iowa, where he edited a local paper for a time but is now publishing the Monona County Democrat at Onawa, Iowa. Mr. Butts soon removed to Little Sioux.

CALHOUN TOWNSHIP.

CHAPTER XXII.

C ALHOUN Civil Township was or- ganized in 1856-57 and named from the first village platted in Harrison County, and that from old Ft. Calhoun which stood on the Nebraska bank of the Missouri River, at a point not far distant from where the village was platted. The name of John C. Calhoun doubtless was the origin of all the points thus named in Harrison County.

As now constituted, Calhoun Township is south of Magnolia and Taylor, west of Jefferson, north of St. John's and La Grange and east of Taylor Township. It is a part of Congressional Township, ranges 43 and 44, and contains nineteen sections or twelve thousand one hundred and sixty acres. The timber found here is chiefly extensions of Brown's Grove, and Spencer's Grove, the foriner in the northwestern portion and the latter along the south line of the township. There is also a good-sized grove in the eastern part of the township, in all amounting to three thousand acres.

Willow River, the chief stream, flows from the northeast to the southwest, with several lesser streams forming junc- tion with it from the north side. Hog Creek is a small stream in the southeastern

part of the township, having its source in Magnolia.

The Chicago & Northwestern railway tra verses one section in the extreme south- eastern corner, but the only hamlet within its borders is Calhoun, spoken of elsewhere.

In 1885 the State census gave the town- ship a population of four hundred and fifty-one, while the 1890 United States census places it at four hundred and sev- enty.

FIRST SETTLEMENT.

The first settlement in this township means the first in the entire county. Prior to 1847 it is not known or believed that a white man ever invaded this sec- tion of the great Missouri slope, for the purpose of becoming a settler, but during that year two came in for actual settle- ment. One was Daniel Brown, who had been a pioneer in Illinois and left at the time of the Mormon exodus, he being of that religious faith himself. He came from Florence, Neb., in the autumn of 1846; he came on a hunting expedition to the county and found land that suited him, where the village of Calhoun now stands. He came back in January, 1847,

209

HARRISON COUNTY.

built a cabin and split some rails, but ow- ing to sickness at his home in Nebraska he was called home-one William Litz coming over at the request of the family to notify him of the serious illness of his married daughter, Mrs. Polly Hammond, who died in the month of March, 1847. Early in April of that year he brought his family to his newly. chosen location in Cal- houn Township. He and his son William "claimed" the northwest of the southwest of section7 31, and also the northeast of section 31. He platted Calhoun village in 1853 and was a resident until his death, in 1875. His daughter, Mrs. B. H. Dennis, now lives at Missouri Valley. The aged mother died in Utah in 1890. The date of his actual settlement was April 7, 1847. Much concerning this departed pioneer well be found under the head of "First events of the county." He was a fit man to honor an undertaking calling forth the genius and noble traits of genuine char- acter found so frequently among those who pushed on as vangards to civilized life. In January, 1847, Mr. Brown con- structed a rude log hut, on the prairie where later stood the thriving village of Calhoun. In April, of that year, he, with his family, made a claim and became the first permanent settlers in Harrison County, Uriah Hawkins, of Cass Town- ship, coming in July of the same year, 1847.

What a striking contrast between the "log palace," with neither windows, doors, shutters or floor, and the improve- ments of a few decades! Who can remem- ber but with pride and esteem, those who contributed so much toward the advance- ment of civilization !

Closely following Brown's settlement came William Litz and the following May came four other families and settled in

the county-Messrs. J. Vincent, O. M. Allen, G. Cleveland and Eleazer Davis. These settlers at once began tilling the soil and were blessed the following autumn by a beautiful crop. Soon after har- vest they found ready sale for all they had to spare to the large number of Indian traders, passing north to hunt and trade. Mr. Brown used to relate how that he did not see a dollar for months at a time and had hard work to keep clothing for his family. The money put in circulation by these traders helped him over and the pio- neer and his household were the happiest of the happy !

A sufficient number of settlers had made claims in 1852 to justify the organization of a county. Committees were sent to the land office at Council Bluffs to bid . on claims and protect the working citizens from the lieartless speculator. These com- mittees were instructed to bid one dollar and a quarter per acre and to carry death into the ranks of those who should bid against them.

The first land bought in Harrison County was sold to Daniel Brown-all eighty-acre tract, where Calhoun was sub- sequently built.

Mr. Brown remained a resident of the county until his death in 1875.

The next family to locate in the county was Urialı Hawkins, who settled in Cass Township in July, 1847. In Calhoun Town- ship the next to effect settlement after pioneer Daniel Brown were the following : William Litz and father, Ezra Vincent, O. M. Allen, E. T. Hardin and Ira Per- jue. In 1849 came the Wills family- Jesse, Charles, Silas, William H., John, and Erastus, also George W. Bingham, an early teacher, perhaps. second in the county.

Peter R. Shupe, of section 17, came to

210

HARRISON COUNTY.

the county in January, 1851, and located on section 22, of Raglan Township, but soon sold and moved to the site of his present home, where he pre-empted a quarter section of land.

James Hardy (now deceased) came in from Mills County in 1853 and first settled at Magnolia, where heplatted an addition. He bought one hundred and sixty acres on section 15, of Calhoun. He built one of the first mills in the county. He was an early County Judge. He remained at Magnolia until 1864 and then moved to his place in Calhoun on the Willow, where he died. See personal sketch of "Judge Hardy."

William Kennedy came to Magnolia in 1854 and to section 20, of Calhoun, in 1863.

William McDonald (deceased) came in 1854 with his mother, who was a Mormon. She went on to Utah but he refused to go. He remained in Calhoun Township and lived a single life all his days. He grew to be a rich man worth over $50,- 000. He died in 1886 and his estate was auctioned off. See personal sketch.

Henry Hanneman, Jr., came with his parents in October, 1855; they settled in Magnolia Township, where the father still resides. See family sketch.

Harrison D. Meech came from Vermont with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Meech in 1855. They settled in Calhoun Town- ship and engaged in selling goods at the village. The father bought out I. G. Gates. Harrison D. is now one of Cal- houn Township's most prominent farmers living on section 17. See sketch.

Matilda P. Ratliff, of section 35, came in the spring of 1855 and took a claim. She has operated her farm ever since. Her husband died in Jefferson County, Iowa, prior to her moving here.

Nelson G. Boynton, of section 29, came to Harrison County in the autumn of 1856 and purchased eighty acres of his present farm. He and Isaac W. Day put in a gen- eral store at Calhoun village and operated until 1857, when he began improving his farm. He served during the Rebellion in the Fifteenth Iowa Infantry, being a member of Company H. See his personal · sketch.

George Niece came in September, 1857, and improved land on section 21. In 1870 he moved to another part of the same farm.

James Kennedy came to the county in 1857 and bought an "eighty" of his pres- ent farm on section 16.

William Wakefield, deceased, came to the county in 1859 and settled on a hundred acre tract of land in Raglan Township. He sold and moved to Clay Township and in company with Albert Wakefield built and operated a grist mill, which subse- quently he sold to Theodore Mahoney. Wakefield also built a mill at Calhoun and remained there until his death. See mill history.

Daniel Mickey, of section 29, came to the county in March, 1865, rented land, three years after which he bought land on sec- tion 16, of Taylor. He lived there until 1872, sold out and bought on section 29 of Calhoun.

Timothy C. Case of section 26, Calhoun, came to Harrison County in 1855, first lo- cating in St. John's Township. He was a poor man and rented land for about twelve years, when he bought the farm he now occupies on section 26.

A highly respected citizen who found his way to Harrison County in 1869 is Thomas Cody, who for some time was in the employ of the Northwestern railroad.

211

HARRISON COUNTY.

He has a good farm now in Calhoun Town- ship well improved.

S. L. Frazier, who resides on section 22, came to the county with his parents in 1855. His father, John Frazier, settled in St. John's Township, where he resided until his death, May 26, 1881. George N. Frazier, the oldest child of John Frazier, dates his settlement also from 1855; he is a well-to-do farmer of Calhoun Township.

Henry, Michael and Dennis Fitzgibbon, brothers, are prominent farmers of Cal- houn Township. Dennis became a resi- dent of Harrison County in 1882; Michael in 1887 and Henry in 1878; a personal sketch of each appears in this work, which is worthy of space in this volume.

J. M. Latta became a resident soon af- ter the close of the war, in which he took an active part.

Amasa L. Merchant, who came to the county with his parents in 1850, was but six years old at the date of their coming. The father settled in Magnolia Township where he still resides, an honored citizen. A. L. has a good farm in Calhoun.

Fritz Mandelko of section 33, Calhoun, located in the county in June, 1867, and for two years resided in Missouri Valley and was engaged on bridge work for the Chicago & Northwestern railway. He now owns a fine farm in St. Johns Town- ship besides the one on which he resides in Calhoun.

John Steen came to the county the lat- ter part of March, 1865, and settled near Mondamin. He has had quite an event- ful life, as can be seen by his personal his- tory. He moved to his present farm on section 18 in 1880.

Frederick Schwertley has been a resi- dent of Harrison County since June, 1857, when he located near Magnolia. He

now resides on section 24, Calhoun, where he has a well-improved farm.

FIRST EVENTS.

Daniel Brown was the first man to lo- cate, and also the first one to purchase land in this township, as well as the first in the county.

The first death in the township was that of William Brown, the son of Daniel Brown. He died in 1854.

The first school was taught in 1849-50, in a log house erected for such purpose at Calhoun, on the bluff. The teacher was Mrs. James Cummings, wife of a Mormon missionary.

The first saw and grist mills were erected in 1854.

The first goods were sold from a store at the village of Calhoun, in 1854.

The first birth was that of Jerome Brown, son of Daniel Brown, in October, 1848.

The first marriage was that of William Brown, in 1849 or 1850.

SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.

It appears that the first school in the county was taught at or near the village of Calhoun, in the winter of 1849-50, in a log building erected for the purpose, by Mrs. James Cummings, wife of a Mormon missionary, who was at that time in Eng- land. There were ten scholars, most of whom belonged in the Allen and Brown families. Of course this was a subscrip- tion school. In 1855 George W. Brigham taught a school within a frame school- house, in which Julia A. Boynton taught in the summer of. 1856.

It will be remembered that Calhoun is a small civil township. To-day it is pro- vided with four good public schools, and

212

HARRISON COUNTY.

has an enrollment of one hundred and fifty pupils.

About war times a Methodist class was formed in the township, which had a membership of seventy. It was on the Magnolia circuit. The following served as pastors: Revs. Coe, Adair, Blodget, Douglas, Smith, Deshler and Hestwood. The society has materially decreased and now only occasional services are held.

INDIAN TROUBLES.

Perhaps no township in Harrison county can equal Calhoun in legends of romance and feats of adventure. Indeed, here the Indians were troublesome from the begin- ning, not bloodthirsty savages, but mean and given to stealing and trying to frighten the whites. And who could blame then when we contemplate that this portion of Iowa was their home and earthly paradise. The Boyer Valley had its charms for the red men as well as for our own race.

In the summer of 1847, when pioneer Daniel Brown was away on a trip to Mis- souri, to procure some provisions, the In- dians came to his house and began plun- dering and destroying all that could be found. At last lifting away a quilt hung from the wall of the cabin (placed for con- cealment) Lo espied a half dozen guns, hanging one above another. One looked, and with the familiar "Ugh!" the' others in turn repeatedly raised the quilt and peeped behind, whereupon all supposed there was a man secreted for each gun, and hence they left the cabin. But enough had already been taken to place the family in a starving condition ere the return of Mr. Brown.

At another time a heavy skirmish en- sued on the banks of the Boyer, between twelve whites and thirty Indians. A dozen or more rounds were fired, pro and con,

when most of the red skins were captured and given a "French leave" to cross the Missouri River in a hurry.

Again six "dusky devils" stole two horses from William Litz; four of the In- dians being already mounted, they were all rightly rigged out for a lively march. The thieves were found out, however, im- mediately and six men (all at the time in this part of the county) started in pursuit. A few shots were exchanged at the outset, but no person on either side was injured. It was now getting dark, and Mr. Brown and his nephew mounted the only two horses remaining, and started in hasty pursuit. They followed closely on the rascals, around through where Magnolia now stands, and on crossing the Soldier River, while the water was yet muddy from tracks made by the horses for which they were in pursuit, they followed on to the Little Sioux River, and still the fresh horse tracks indicated the wily crew. had passed. It was useless for two men to search through an Indian country, so they started homeward, arriving at mid- night, having been absent thirty hours and not a little out of sorts !

This state of affairs continued until the county was subsequently settled for self protection. The principal trouble growing out of the pilfering of the Indians.

MILLS.

Mills and blacksmith shops of necessity, are the first branches of business enter- prise to go into a new country, for with- out bread man cannot live, and where the grist mill is heard there one usually hears the clanking of the blacksmith's anvil and hears his fire roar.

In 1854 E. T. Hardin and Jesse Wills built a sawmill, in Calhoun Township, which was located on section 19. They

213

HARRISON COUNTY.

operated it about four years, when Hardin sold to William Meech, and later on the property passed into the hands of John Mathews and Ezra Vincent, but proving anything but a profitable investment it was abandoned, and finally decayed and washed into the waters of the Willow, which stream had furnished its propelling force. At one time in its history a Mr. McFadden had an interest in this mill, but only for a short time; he sold to Mr. Vincent.
