The first annual meeting of the association was held on the 1st 2nd and 3rd days of Octoba, 1873. The officers were as fol- lows: President, A. J. Wheaton; Vice-President, West Wilson; Secretary, W. H. Stivers; Treasurer, L. B. Nelson. The fair proved a success in every respect as every one will testify who visited it. Yearly exhibitions were held upon the grounds from the time of organization of the society until 1878 when by some cause the society failed.


TAMA COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.


The people of Tama County interested in agriculture and the improvement of the same, met in Union Hall, Iuka, now Tama City, on August 4th, 1866, for the purpose of discussing the question of organizing a County fair. The meeting was called to order. A large number of delegates from different parts of the County were present and the issues discussed with consider-

able interest and length. Nothing definite was determined upon until the next meeting, held on the 18th of the same month, when the organization was made complete with Judge Sals- bury of Indiantown, President; West Wilson, of Crystal, Vice- President; John Ramsdell, of Richland, Treasurer; and A. M. Batchelder, of Inka, Secretary. Articles of incorporation were drawn up and adopted. The first fair was held on the 10th and 11th days of the following October, and proved a success. Since that time fairs have been held each year on the grounds, with increased success. The grounds are well adapted for the pur- pose and are situated within the limits of Tama City, at the time of the organization of the society known as Inka, and are the finest and most convenient in the County. The officers and Board of Directors for the present year, 1879, are as follows:


President, L. Carmichael; Vice-President, W. G. Malin; Secre- tary, C. IJ. Kentner; Treasurer, B. A. HIall; Trustees, B. F. Swanton, A. B. Taplin, J. Il. Hollen, Wm. Earnest and Win. Cory. These men are all tried and true, and will work with a will to make the Society a credit to the County.


TRAER DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.


This society was organized at Traer, February 28th, 1874, and given the above name. At a meeting of the society, March 14th, 1874, the following officers were elected for that year: Presi- dent, West Wilson; VicePresident, J. R. Steer; Secretary. G. Johnston; Treasurer, J. T. Wild. The first fair was held Sep- tember 10th and 11th of the same year. The operations were a grand success, both in attendance and financially. From year to year the society has given a good exhibition at their grounds.


The ensuing officers were men of energy and have done all in their power to make the fair a successful and beneficial exhibi- tion to every farmer in the County.


Every citizen of the County should take an interest in the exhibitions of the different societies in the County and use his utmost endeavors to make the annual meetings successful. Nothing tends more toincite farmers to action than the comparison of their stock or the products of their labor. We attribute in a

great measure the advanced steps taken by our people in the improvement of fine stock and the growth of the various pro- duets to these exhibitions.


CHAPTER XV.


WAR HISTORY OF TAMA COUNTY.


We now take up the interesting history of Tama County dur- ing the late war and note with pride the active part she took for the right during the stirring events of the four long years when the dark clouds threatening the destruction of our Union hovered over her, each and every one hoped, even against hope, that they would pass away and that peace and prosperity would continue to reign, but such was not the case.


On the twelfth day of April, 1861, the enemy, who for weeks had been erecting their batteries upon the shore, after demanding of Major Anderson a surrender, opened fire upon Fort Sumpter. For hours an incessant eannonading was continued; the fort was weakened, provisions were almost gone, and Major Anderson was compelled to haul down the old flag, that flag which had seldom been lowered by a foreign foe, was trailed in the dust by the hands of a local enemy. Oh! how the blood of patriots boiled when they learned of the outrage. No where was greater indignation manifested than in Tama County. Partisan feelings, which before had existed were swept away, and the language of the immortal Douglass, verified, in which he said "but two parties can exist, patriots and traitors."


When the President issued the call for 300,000 men, Tama County responded without delay; seemingly all were ready to go


121


HISTORY OF TAMA COUNTY.


forth in defence of their country. Meetings were held in vari- ous parts of the County; participated in by all parties, then known as patriots, and resolutions were adopted setting forth in the strongest terms undying devotion to the Union. About the 12th of August, 1861, a company numbering one-hundred men was organized at Toledo, and the following officers elected: A. Stoddard, Captain; T. B. Martin, First Lieutenant; T. W. Jackson, Second Lieutenant. The names of the company are given elsewhere.


As the company left Toledo, for the place of rendezvous, hun- dreds of people were present and many were the tears shed and the hearty "God bless you," given over the departure of loved ones. But there was not one of that whole number who would have had any one of the departing boys turn back. Shortly after this company had left W. H. Stivers and L. Clark organized companies and were off to the seat of war. Another company was also organized and sent out under the command of John A. Staly as Captain. A number of Tama County young men also joined a cavalry company raised by Tama, Marshall and Story Counties. W. P. Hepburn, of Marshall County, Captain, Paul A. Queal of Story County, 1st Lieutenant, Win. II. Stoddard of Tama County, 2nd Lieutenant.


In addition to these there were a large number of enlistments of men for old companies whose ranks had been decimated by disease and bullets during the war. Grey headed men, who had almost reached their three-score years and ten, and boys not yet out of their teens went to the camp and through the most urgent solicitation were accepted. Neither old age nor youth kept them back, and when rejected from either canse or from physical inability, would insist on being received, believing themselves as capable of doing a soldier's duty as many who had already gone. Hundreds of as brave men as ever handled a musket or drew a sword went out from this County, some never to re- turn. In many homes throughout the County we find the vacant chair, and witness the mournful look of those ever watch- ing for one that cometh not. Upon the streets day by day we

meet those wearing armless sleeves or walking in a way that tells plainly that the sound of the foot-step is not made by flesh and bone. Inquire the cause and we shall probably learn that while charging the enemy at Vicksburg, Shiloh or elsewhere, a cannon ball deprived them of a limb or arm. But no word of com- plaint do we hear; the only regret expressed being that it was not possible to do more for their country.


While they were away upon the tented field, the patriotic men and women at home were not idle. The County officials at a meeting called August 5th, 1861, passed a resolution allow- ing the sum of five dollars per month for the relief of soldiers' families, and an additional sum of two dollars per month for each child under twelve years of age. During the entire four years of war, we think but little actual suffering was experienced by any at home on account of the absence of their providers who were away serving their country.


Occasionally word would be received of the gallant conduct upon the battle field of some company from this County, and although hearts were made sore by the fact that the blood of many had been shed. yet all rejoiced that none failed to preform their duty.


Time passed, and the rebellion was brought to an end, and peace was proclaimed throughout the land. All over the country the shouts went up from loyal hearts, and as our "brave boys in blue" returned the joy increased. The long struggle was over, the sacrifice made, the Union saved and Tama County did her part. Now those that are left are gathered at home and occasionally relate to us the scenes of those terri- ble times, and our hearts ahnost cease to beat as they describe the battles in which they were engaged, and tell us how the strife raged the fiercest, where so many of their brave com- rades fell or how one by one, in the dreary prisons, or in the hos- pitals passed away from earth those who but a short time previ- ous were full of health and hope. But amid all this we have a saved country, and should we not be thankful to the One Ruler of All that it was in the power of man to make the sacrifice by which all this was accomplished.

OUR BOYS IN THE FIELD.


If time and space allowed. gladly would we follow our boys to the tented field and recount the individual acts of bravery of each, but this we cannot do and can only speak in general, giv- ing a short description of such regiments as were composed part- ly of men from this County.


Our soldiers, we find are as modest as brave, and not disposed to volunteer information for publication, so what we do give is gathered from the records. The first in order will be


COMPANY C .- TENTH IOWA.


Company C. was organized at Toledo and assigned to the 10th Iowa Infantry, with Colonel N. Perczel, commanding, and was mustered into the service of the United States on the 6th day of September, 1861, under proclamation of the President, bearing date July 23rd, 1861, at Camp Fremont, Iowa City, with Albert Stoddard, Captain.
