CHAPTER VII.
LOGAN,
The county seat of Harrison county, Iowa, is located on the east one-half of the southwest one-fourth of the southwest one- fourth of section 18, and the northwest one-fourth of section 19, 79, 42, and northeast one-fourth of section 24, 79, 43.
This land was originally entered or purchased by Mr. Henry Reel, of the Government, in 1854 and 1858, the former at a time when there was not a bridge on the Boyer river from the place where the same empties into the Missouri river in Potta- wattamie county to the Boyer Lake, the source of the said river.
Mr. Reel settled on the site of this town in 1852, and held the land as a settler until the 20th of February, 1864, before entry, which would cause some at this day to wonder how this could be done; but to those who are familiar with the early settlement the matter is quite plain, for at this time the fact of settlement furnished as good a title for the time being as though the squat- ter had and held the fee of the land. If a real bona fide settler's claim was jumped, the "jumpist " had a free passport to that place " where the wicked cease from troubling and the jumpers are at rest." In 1852 when Mr. Reel first built his cabin on the banks of the Boyer at the present town site of Logan, there was not another settler between this place and Joe Hill's, which place is some two miles below the present station of Loveland in Pot- tawattamie county. This might in 1888 be considered an enlarged neighborhood, but the extent of a neighborhood depends on the condition of settlement. If there were no neighbors
(373)
374
HISTORY OF HARRISON COUNTY.
within fifty miles, then the length and breadth of such a neigh- borhood would necessarily extend to such settlement.
Here Mr. Reel lived and prospered, opening up a large farm' built a grist and saw mill, until the breaking out of the war, when his son John became the very first of those who enlisted in Company B of the old glorious Fourth Iowa Infantry, was captured and yielded his young life in Andersonville for the cause of the country and good government. Then in August of 1862 the second son Henry enlisted in Company Cof the Twen- ty-ninth Iowa, and was among the first to die of disease and exposure. Then again when the draft was had at Council Bluffs in November of 1864, the last and only son, O. P. Reel, was drafted and would not suffer the shame of purchasing a sub- stitute, and manfully entered the service as a private, at which time being nearly dead with that dread disease, consumption, soon fell a victim to exposure and died, so that this old patriarch and his good wife were left sonless. Passing from this to the time when the C. & N. W. railroad built their track down the Boyer valley, by some misunderstanding or quarrel between the said company and Reel, the cars for nearly one year passed the town of Logan without deigning to stop to take on or put off freight or passengers.
This status continued until in 1867, when Mr. Reel applied to the Interior Department and had a postoffice established at this place, which compelled the railroad company to stop here and change the mails.
Then followed the laying out of a town, which was done in July, 1867, and named by Mr. Reel " Logan," in remembrance of Gen. John A. Logan, of Illinois, for whom Mr. Reel had a respect and love bordering on adoration.
Many persons have come to the conclusion that the place was named Logan for Mr. Thomas MacDonald Logan, formerly of this place but now of River Sioux, but this is a mistake, for the
375
HISTORY OF HARRISON COUNTY.
further fact that the place was born into existence prior to the time of Mr. Thomas Mc Logan locating here.
The first house or place of business in the town was that of a drug store, by one Geo. F. Waterman, and was directly west of the present location of what is now known as the Logan House. Within a few weeks after this Messrs. Rudasill, Wood & Lowe, of Magnolia, put up the building now used as the Logan Hotel, and placed therein a large well selected stock of dry goods and groceries. Then came Messrs. Cole & Fish, who moved their building down from a place then known as Whitesboro, formerly Buena Vista, and located on the east side of the public square, on or adjacent to the place where the public hall is situated, and filled the same with dry goods and groceries. Soon after this came Broadwell & Cavin, removing their stock of goods from Reeder's Mills, having built what is now used by the Lusk Hotel as a sample room, and opened the third store in Logan. Mr. George W. White built a brick building, being part of the old Vore Logan house, and was the first man to keep hotel in the place. Mr. T. Mc Logan, in company with Judge Leach, of Cedar Rapids, started out in the business of grain merchants and vending agricultural implements, which was soon purchased by the former and by him sold, about 1873, to Messrs. Seekell, Luce & Co. The first hotel following the White House, was built by Mr. James A. Lusk the same as is now known far and near as the Lusk Hotel.
From 1870, men and business began to multiply in Logan, and so continued up to the fall election of 1875, at which time the seat of justice was brought to the place, which occasioned quite a stir in business, as well as a rise in the values of town property. Indeed, so elated were some of the property holders at this time, that their property would not bring more in the market now than was offered for it then, notwithstanding thirteen years have gone the way of all the earth.
From the time of the laying out of the town site by Mr. Reel
376
HISTORY OF HARRISON COUNTY.
up to and until the removal of the county seat to this place, there were two firms purchasing grain, viz .: Logan & Leach, and their successors G. B. Seekell & Co., and Vanderhoff & Co. This last was sold to P. J. Rudasill & Co .; one blacksmith shop, one drug store by Waterman, who sold to Kelly, one lumber yard by Seekell; three dry good stores and numerous places furnishing poor whisky; one livery barn, run by the world renowned Yankee Robinson, whose peculiarities are remembered by many of the persons who first located in this place. In 1874, the bank of Cadwell and Fiske began business, the same as now known as Cadwell's Bank. I had in a measure forgotten to mention the name of a firm in the dry goods and clothing business who were the successors of Broad well and Cavin, viz .: the firm of Cavin, Foreman & Beno, of Council Bluffs. This firm built a large, commodious building on the east side of the public square, and ran business at high pressure for a decade and then retired, sell- ing out to Messrs Hull & Parker Bros.
Mr. G. B. Cadwell, the old reliable hardware man of Logan, has been in business in this place longer than any man of the town. With the exception of one year's rest, he has been behind his counter and at his desk for the past twenty years.
In 1876 the town incorporated, and from that time to the present has maintained a city government, which, though lax at times, is perhaps better governed than many of the other towns of the county. The town is now well protected from fires by the water works which were built in the latter part of 1884, at a cost to the property owners of the town in the sum of $8,000, which upon each trial has proved all that was claimed for such undertaking at the time they were built. The reservoir is sit- uated on the hill west of the town, and having more than a hun- dred feet of fall, throws a stream of water 74 feet high, and with such power as to tear away the shingles on the roofs of houses when the stream is directed against the same.
377
HISTORY OF HARRISON COUNTY.
A Methodist Church was built in 1872 and dedicated in the month of January, 1873, costing $1,200.
A Baptist Church was built in 1870, costing $1,800. These were the only churches built prior to the time of the removal of the county seat to the place.
In 1877 the Presbyterians built a very commodious church building, and in 1879 Mr. Henry Reel, at his own expense, built the church building, known as the Regular Predestination Bap- tist Church. In the building of this many conjectures have been made, as to what caused Father Reel to build it at his own expense. By some 'tis said that some persons wishing the use of some of the church buildings in the town for the purpose of preaching, were denied the use of these pulpits, because their doc- trines were scarcely orthodox, and for this reason this building was built, so that no matter what ism was wanting an opportu- nity for hearing, this should be free to all, which has been bestowed free of charge to any and all persons who desired to be heard in Logan. Another reason has been assigned, and 'tis this: the thought had entered the mind of Mr. Reel that seats were furnished in accordance with the apparel, i. e., that those attend- ing church who were clad in silks and fine robes or a plug hat, were assigned the better seats, no respect being shown to age, bodily infirmities or morals. The true status of the case is, Mr. Reel took it into his head to build a church building, and when this opinion was once formed, the die was cast and of course the church was soon built. In this building this old patriarch wor- ships with a degree of satisfaction not excelled by any other per- son in all this broad land.
In 1879 the Adventists built a small brick church near the Logan school house, at a cost of some $500.
From this time until 1887 the church building rested, when the same was revived by the Latter Day Saints and Christians, each building neat comfortable churches, each costing, when seated, the sum of $1,500.
