HISTORY OF TAMA COUNTY.

His father, James Maiden, was a soldier of the war of 1812. His mother was Elizabeth Julian. In an early day they emigrated to Lawrence county, Indiana, and settled in the wilderness. Here George grew to manhood, receiving his education in the primitive log cabins. Mr. Maiden says the first school he attended had a dirt floor, a log cut out of the wall and greased paper pasted over it for light, logs split open and pegs put in for seats. The fire-place reached clear across the end of the building, with a mud and stick chimney. It was customary in those days for the larger boys and teacher to furnish the wood. It was also customary to make the teacher stand treats on Christ- mas, and if he would not furnish the "budge," he found himself fastened out of the school house by the larger boys. On the 14th day of February, 1836, he was married to Jaley Chitty, by whom he had four children: Andrew, James, Joseph and Emily. The latter died December 22, 1873.

CITY OF TOLEDO.
Toledo, the capital of Tama county is beautifully situated upon rolling prairie, high and dry, near the largest body of timber in the county It is surrounded by an excellent farming country, and the wealthiest portion of the county. It is about six miles south of the center of the county, and three miles north of the Iowa river. Toledo was platted and the county seat located here in the fall of 1853. The first sale of lots took place the same fall
and was quite an event to the then small population. The county was permanently organized in August, 1853, and all has im- proved together surely and steadily. The organization of the county and location of the county seat is treated in the general chapters.
The first dwelling house on the town plat was erected by T. J. Staley. A store room was put up previous to this, however, by John Zehrung. But very few build- ings were erected in 1853, on account of the difficulty in obtaining materials. Sev- eral good buildings were put up, however, among which were a court house, and a steam saw mill by Myers & Blodgett, which soon after burned down and caused great delay in building. The mill was re- builtin the summer of 1855, and a new one erected by Zehrung & Brother, the sameyear. This gave new impetus to the town and a rapid growth set in. During the summer a large number of dwellings were erected, and Toledo assumed the proportions of a town as well as county seat.
In the spring of 1856, the Toledo Tribune was established by M. V. B. Ken- ton. During the summer of 1857, Staley & Zehrung constructed, what in those days, was called a splendid steam flouring mill. About the same time James Burge put up a shingle machine. In the fall of the same year George M. Taylor & Broth- er erected a patent lath establishment ca- pable of making 40,000 per day. A fine church was crected the same summer, be- sides several business houses. During all this time mercantile interests were keep- ing pace with other things. In 1857, To- ledo had seven dry goods and general

merchandise store :; one clothing, hat, cap, boot and shoe store; one drug store; one hardware store; one furniture store; a warehouse, a bakery and a dne representation of mechanics, preachers, lawyers and doctors.
The original town plat is treated at length in the chapter upon Organization. The county purchased a tract of land for an addition to that donated for county seat purposes. This was soon followed by the additions of Zehrung, Harrison, Me- Roberts, first and second, Stone's and Ed- munds and Jerome.
In 1857 there were four church organi- zations: The Methodists, under charge of Rev. Pettefish; the Baptists, under Elder G. G. Edwards; the Congregationalists, under Rev. G. W. Woodward; and the Presbyterians under Rev. L. Dodd.
