Board of 1873: William McLean, J. W. Turner and John Griffith.
Nothing of great importance came up before the board during the early part of the year. In June they advertised for bids for rooms to hold court in, the court house question again coming up for consideration. The board finally submitted the matter to a vote of the people at the general election of 1873. The proposition was for the erection of a court house to cost not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars. The vote stood five hundred and eighty-three for, one thousand. one hundred and fifty-eight against the measure. After three or four times submitting the question to the people . and each time being defeated, the county "Dads" got tired and took the mat- ter into their own hands, doing about all they could and keep within the law controlling them.
At their October meeting in 1873, Mr. Griffith offered the following res- olution, which was passed.
Resolved, That a county building be ordered erected on the public square in the town of Clarinda, forty-four by sixty feet, with six offices be- low and a court room above, with vaults for the county records, according to plans and specifications on file in the auditor's office ; and that J. W. Tur- ner be appointed a special commissioner to superintend the same. The audi- tor is hereby authorized to issue warrants for labor and material to complete the structure.
The entire cost of this court house was seven thousand, four hundred and fifty-six dollars.
At the above session bids were received for a room in which to hold court, as follows: The Universalist church, three hundred dollars : the Loy & Van

At the June session the board had the poor farin matter under advise- ment and concluded to submit the same to the people. The proposition was to levy a two mill tax, by which to raise ten thousand dollars and with it to purchase and improve a farm upon which to provide for the county's un- fortunate poor. At the election determining the matter the vote stood five hundred and seventy-eight to nine hundred and forty-seven, in favor of the measure.

The records show that at their September session, the board was pre- sented with a petition presented and signed by over four hundred persons, praying that the people have an opportunity to vote again on the long and oft repeated court house question. This time the proposition called for a goodly sum, one sufficient to erect a befitting temple of justice for Page county, the proposition to vote a two mill tax, each year for five years, to build a court house not to exceed in cost seventy-five thousand dollars. The board heard the prayer and the people voted on the measure at the general election that fall.
Board of 1883: P. Swisher (chairman), C. A. Johnson, W. M. Alexander.
The only matter worthy of record in this connection for that year is the report made by P. B. Cain, steward for the poor farm, which gives the num- ber of paupers received each month and number in the house:

COURT HOUSE HISTORY.
The first county business of Page county was transacted two miles south- east of where Clarinda now stands, at the house of Philip Boulware, or at what is now known as Shambaugh's Mills. The first term of court was held there September 22, 1851, Judge Sloan presiding. Clarinda being selected as the seat of justice early in 1853, Judge S. F. Snider, county judge, moved to the new county seat and soon erected a building on the north side of the public square, in which he had his office and from which he sold goods. This

was destroyed by fire, together with its contents, including his county court records, on the night of January 12, 1858.
The first term of district court held at Clarinda was in a small board shanty which stood on the west side of the public square. It had been built to the southwest of the town for school purposes and in it Mrs Samuel Farlow taught the first school in the vicinity of Clarinda. A log school house was soon built on the square, now used by the south public school building. Here a few terms of district court were held. It is said that whiskey used to be kept near the log court room in cask and that "all hands and everybody" used to help themselves, notwithstanding the first case tried here was for a violation of the Iowa liquor law.
In 1856 the county erected a frame court house, which stood on the southeast corner of the public square. It still stands and is used as a paint shop. It was moved just to the north of the square and across the street. It was about thirty by forty feet, two stories high, with court room on the second floor and county offices beneath. For years it was the bee hive of Clarinda. In it the postoffice was located for years. The court room got too small and churches and schoolhouses had to be used for holding court in. In 1867 a proposition was left to the people as to whether the county should build a court house. The measure was defeated by a vote of one hundred and twenty-eight to eight hundred and fifteen. In June, 1870, the question again came up before the board, who submitted a proposition for the voters at the fall election as to whether a fifty thousand dollar court house should he erected by issuing bonds. That measure was defeated by a vote of four hundred and twenty-five to seven hundred and ninety-five. By the year 1873 it became apparent to the supervisors that a more suitable building in which to keep the public records was imperatively demanded, and again a proposi- tion went before the people asking for funds to build a twenty-five thousand dollar court house. The vote stood four hundred and eighty-three to one thousand, one hundred and fifty-eight against the measure. This was more than the supervisors could stand and they took the matter into their own hands and at their October meeting, 1873, Supervisor Griffith offered the following resolution, which was passed :
Resolved, that a county building be ordered on the public square in the town of Clarinda, forty-four by sixty feet, with six offices below and a court room above, with vaults for county records, according to plans now on file with the auditor, and that J. W. Turner be appointed a special commis- sioner to superintend the same.
Thus, after a long and protracted effort, Page county succeeded in se- curing a court house, partly worthy the name. It was not a palatial affair and not such as the wealth of the county should have erected but it was the best the board had power to build. Its cost was seven thousand, four hundred and fifty-six dollars.
The matter was allowed to rest for about ten years but in the summer of 1882 the subject was again revived, for the time had come when more vault room was badly needed for the safe keeping of records. Petitions were cir- culated and signed by over four hundred voters, asking the board to submit

HISTORY OF PAGE COUNTY
the question of building to the people. The board then consisted of J. W. Turner (chairman), P. Swisher, C. A. Johnson. They were all farmers and only sought to serve the county's best interest. At the September meet- ing they decided to submit it to a vote. The proposition called for a court house, the cost of which should not exceed the sum of seventy-five thou- sand dollars, to be paid by an annual tax of two mills per dollar until paid for. After the vote had been cast and counted it was found that one thousand, nine hundred and seventy-two favored, while one thousand, two hundred and eighty-six were opposed to it.
In the fall of 1882 Mr. Turner declined to be renominated and he was succeeded by W. M. Alexander. In the fall of 1884 C. A. Johnson was suc- ceeded by J. D. Laughlin.
William Foster, of Foster & Libbie, was chosen the architect, and he presented plans to the board at their January (1885) meeting. The board accepted the plans and at once called for bids, to be opened February 18, 1885. There were thirty bids in. After a careful examination the board awarded the contract to one of Clarinda's old pioneers, William Butler, whose bid was seventy-one thousand dollars. His bond was fixed at one hundred thousand dollars, and at once signed by some of Page county's best mnen. The contract called for the completion of the job by January 1, 1888. During 1885 the foundation was laid and during 1887 the walls and roof were com- pleted, and December 19, 1887, the complete structure was accepted by the board.
It is proper to state that during the whole time while the building was in progress, contractor Hon. William Butler was in hearty accord with the board and he spared neither pains nor expense to fully carry out his part of the contract. The cost of the structure and furnishing the same, including steam heat, was as follows:
Contract price of building, seventy-one thousand dollars; steam heat, three thousand, eight hundred and forty-five dollars; fresco painting, two thousand, five hundred dollars ; gas machine and fixtures, one thousand, two hundred and twenty dollars; furniture and vaults, seven thousand and nineteen dollars; safe in the treasurer's office, seven hundred dollars ; sun- dries, two hundred and sixteen dollars; total, eighty-six thousand, five hun- dred dollars.
THE COUNTY INFIRMARY.
The thing of all others that distinguishes Christian from pagan lands is their charitable and humane institutions. In the old ancient kingdoms the poor as well as those unfortunate creatures who were born blind or dumb, or in any way maimed or impaired in a physical sense, were cast out from so- ciety, or in some ages of the world put to death soon after birth. But today Christian civilization has builded homes and hospitals for unfortunates of all classes and the same are kept at public expense. We have our deaf and dumb institutes ; our colleges for the blind ; our reform schools ; our orphans' homes ; our asylums for the feeble minded; our soldiers' homes ; our insane

hospitals ; and our homes for the erring and friendless, and last, though not least, we have established in Iowa a system for caring for our unfortunate poor. They are not even like the almshouses of the east but homes indeed for those on whom financial prosperity has not seemed to smile. We term them poor farms, usually situated near the county seats. Prior to the inaugu- ration of this system the county provided as best they could for their poor people by hiring some one to board them but finding this too complicated and expensive, they petitioned for the present poor farm system.
It was in 1878 that Page county deemed it prudent to purchase land for such a home for her poor people. By an act of the board of supervisors (after first lawfully submitting the question to the voters) one hundred and seventy acres of land was purchased on section-, township 69, range 37, in the civil township of Nodaway, and is only a mile and a half west of Clar- inda, the county seat. The county has erected suitable buildings, made proper improvements and managed to make the place self sustaining.
OFFICIALS OF PAGE COUNTY.
In this chapter is given as complete and authentic a list of those who have been honored by the people of Page county by their votes, and those who have held office by reason thereof, as the records will permit. The spell- ing of names may not be correct in some instances. Errors of this kind are to be ascribed to the records, it being impossible to verify details of this de- scription. From 1851 to 1908 a complete list is herein given of the county officials, the judges of the district to which Page county has been assigned and those who have represented the county in both houses of the General Assembly of the state.
It will be noticed that no one is mentioned as county judge after the year 1868. This is owing to the fact that the office was abolished in 1868 and the duties thereof were transferred to the district court. The office of drainage commissioner was also discontinued and in 1886 the district at- torney ceased to exist and in his stead there came the county attorney.
CLERK OF THE COURTS.
In 1851 Dr. A. H. Farrens was elected the first clerk of the courts of Page county and held the office until 1853, when he was succeeded by Job Loy. His successor, Young Farris, was elected in 1855 and held the office until 1857, when L. H. Wilder was elected. Since 1858 the vote of the county for the various years has been as follows:
