Crystal township, Tama county, Iowa, where he purchased a large tract of land. In 1872 he purchased land in Toledo township, and remained until the fall of 1881, then moved to Toledo where he is living a retired life. In early life Mr. Burright was a Whig, but since the organi- zation of the Republican party he has voted that ticket. Mr. and Mrs. Burright had three sons who served in the Union army during the rebellion. Mr. and Mrs. Burright are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Toledo. At the time of settling in Crystal township, there were but four houses between their place and Toledo, and for his groceries he went to Cedar Rapids with an ox team. The fol- lowing winter after his coming was very severe and is remembered by him as one of the hardest he ever experienced.
E. R. Bowe was born in Seneca county, Ohio, August 24, 1825. He is a son of Erastus Bowe, who was the first man to break ground for Fort Ball, and made the first improvement where Tiffin, the county seat of Seneca county, now stands. He was a soldier in the War of 1812, and was under Hull at the time of the surrender of Detroit. Ilis mother was Eleanor (Swinerton) Bowe. Mr. and Mrs. Bowe were the parents of four sons and three daughters, all but one of whom lived to be adults. Mrs. Bowe died in 1838. Mr. Bowe subsequently married Margaret Alger, by whom he has had one son and three daughters. The subject of this sketch, when two years of age, left home and was reared and educated in Marion county, Ohio, until he was fifteen years of age. July 3, 1851, he was married to Miss A. J. Wells, a daughter of Luke Wells, of
Wayne county, New York, where she was born October 6, 1832. Two children blessed this union: Hortense R., wife of Henry Reynolds, of DesMoines and Eleanor S., wife of W. S. Porter, of IJardin county, Iowa. In the fall of 1855, Mr. Bowe left his native State and emi- grated to Tama county, coming through with teams and locating on section 21, Toledo township, where he has spent more than a quarter of a century. Mr. and Mrs. Bowe came to the county poor, but by judicious management have accumulated a confortable property. They own 200 acres of land valued at $40 per acre. Mr. Bowe was at first an old line Whig, then at the organization of the Republican party joined its ranks. He is now a supporter of the National party.
J. W. Youngman was born in Alsace, France, April 25, 1812, his parents being George W. and Elizabeth (Mecka) Young- man; the former was born in Lorraine, France, in 1735, the latter in Bavaria, in 1794. His father was a military man of distinction, being a General under Napo- leon Bonapart, Emperor of France, and also under Louis Phillipe. He drew his pension from the government until his death, which occurred in 1862, he be- ing 127 years old. Mrs. Young-
man died in 1842. General Youngman was a giant in stature, being six feet eleven inches tall and powerfully built. J. W. Youngman was reared near Metz, receiving his early education in the common schools. He attended the cadet and military schools, and in 1882, entered the active service, remaining till 1846. During this time he was promoted by degrees until he became First Lieutenant,

in March, 1846. Ile enlisted under La- fayette, came to America and was sworn into the United States service at New York city; then served in the Mexican War until its close. After the war he visited twenty-two States, all that were then in the Union. He was taken sick in Greenville, Ohio, and on his recovery was married to Elizabeth Schunberger, a native of Ohio, and daughter of George S. and Eva (Hop) Schunberger, natives of Bavaria. The first four years after his marriage he lived in Greenville engaged in teaching a German school, and then moved to Pittsburg, where he followed the same profession for three years. He then started for the west, coming to Iowa in 1852 and entering land in Otter Creek township, Tama county, on section 3. Ile did not remain, however, but in a short time went to Rock Island, Illinois, where he lived for two years engaged as clerk in a jewelry store. In 1854, he returned to Tama county with his family and settled on his farm where he remained engaged in farming and stock-raising for twenty- two years. In 1875, he removed to Toledo and erected the third brick building in the city, and engaged in the mercantile busi- ness until 1882, when he closed out his stock and is now living a retired life. He is one of the principal stockholders of the Toledo Savings Bank, and was one of the first Directors. In 1882, he built a large dwelling house in the northeast part of the city, and is just about completing another residence in the same part of town. Mr. Youngman is now quite largely inter- ested, financially, in the development of Toledo. He owns several residences and the brick store building now occupied by
Ingham & Williamson, grocers. Mr. and Mrs. Youngman have had nine children, seven of whom are living: James L., Mary E., George W., Maggie M., Willie M., Reama L. and Leo M. Jonn E. died at thirteen years of age, and another son also named Leo M., died at the age of one year and two months.

E. J. Cannon, City Marshal of Toledo, in 1883, and one of the early settlers of the county, was born in Belmont, county, Ohio, on the 30th of November, 1829. IIere he grew to manhood, receiving his education in the subscription schools of that State. He was married November 2, 1852, to Miss Harriet Collins, of Ohio. By this union there are seven children liv- ing : Allie, born July 30, 1853 ; Adda, born August 24, 1857 ; Laura, born June 28, 1859; James T., born January 17, 1863; Jessie M., born December 9, 1870 ; Ralph L. D., born February 17, 1877 and Florence W., born March 26, 1880. In the fall of 1856, Mr. Cannon emigrated with his family to Tama county, coming by way of Iowa City, where he and his brother- in-law hired a man to bring them to To- ledo, paying him $60 in gold before start- ing. The team was poor and it took three days to make the trip. They spent their first winter in company with Mr. Chin's family, in a house 14x20 feet. Their goods not arriving, they were left desti- tnte of beds and bedding, so they pur- chased muslin and the women made ticks
and the men filled them with straw, on which they slept. Their table consisted of a dry goods box and their other furniture corresponded. The winter was cold, and occasionally they would wake up in the morning to find their bed clothes frozen to the walls of the house. The following year Mr. Cannon and Mr. Chin engaged in the furniture business, which they fol- lowed for five years, their's being the first establishment of the kind in Toledo. Mr. and Mrs. Cannon have been identified with the village of Toledo for more than a quarter of a century, and have seen many changes since they firstlocated. Mr. Cannon is a member of the I. O. O. F., the A. O. U. W. and the Iowa Legion of Honor.
POST OFFICE.
The first postmaster at Toledo was John L. Zehrung, a native of Ohio, who came to the county in 1854, engaging in the mercantile business, with the post office in his store. The office was first es- tablished with J. II. Ilollen as postinas- ter, outside the present city limits. In those early days, when the mail came, which was received once a week, a crowd would gather about the office, to wait its distribution. When a letter was picked up and the name called out, if the person was present he would yell, "here !" at the same instant pressing his way through the crowd with eagerness to receive it. As a rule the mail looked as though it had been handled with tongs.
In the winter of 1855-6, H. C. Foster was appointed postmaster. IIe resigned his office in about six months, when Thomas Murray was appointed. Ile was

HISTORY OF TAMA COUNTY.
afterward postmaster at Tama City. . Ile was succeeded by Wm. Ilarkins, who was followed by E. B. Bolens. The next was Mrs. Dillman, who held the office in 1883. Mrs. Dillman's husband, Sylvester S. Dill- man, deceased, was born in Summit coun- ty, Ohio, December 31, 1827. Ilis family removed while he was yet young, to Wil- liams county, Ohio. Mr. Dillman prepared for college and took that course in Ober- lin, completing his studies with the class of 1854. From that time until 1856, he occupied the position of professor of mathematies in the U. B. College, at Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania. August 20, 1856, he was married to Miss Emily Loughridge, at Mansfield, Ohio. After their marriage, they came to Iowa, and were the first teachers at Western College, Linn county, the school opening January 1, 1857. In November, 1860, they removed to Toledo, Tama county, where Mr. Dillman was Principal of the public schools until the summer of 1862, then enlisted as private in Company E, 24th Iowa Volunteer Infantry. September 19, 1864, he was wounded by a shell at the battle of Winchester, Virginia, and died from the effects of the wound, September 23, four days after the battle. His body lies in the city cemetery at Winchester, Virginia, in a private lot be- longing to the Wrenn family, at whose house he died. During his service he was 2d and 1st Lieutenant, and arting Captain. Mr. and Mrs. Dillman were the parents of two sons: James W. L. and George L.
EDUCATIONAL.
The greater part of the following article on the educational history of Toledo, is from the pen of Mrs. S. S. Dillman, and
was first published in the Toledo papers. The building now known as the old school house was erected in 1861, under the supervision of W. F. Johnston, who was then Treasurer of the School Board, and S. S. Dillman, who was Principal, and drew the plans. They were instructed to provide the most room possible for the sum of $2,800.
They requested and urged the School Board to allow them enough more to car- ry up the second story to a full height and put on a plain and neat though inexpen- sive cornice. But this was of no avail, and the consequence was that the building was of necessity very plain. It was worth all it cost, however. It wasn't long, how- ever, until the building proved to be too small and arrangements were commenced to provide more room.
The district voted several times on the subject of issuing bonds, but every time it was defeated, until finally a square struc- ture was erected and planned so as to be- come a wing of another and larger build- ing. At last, however, in the winter of 1877-8, the people came to the conclusion that the schools were suffering for the want of room, and accordingly an election was held to again get the decision of the people as to whether or not the necessary bonds should be voted to erect the new building. Plans were prepared, estimates made and the election held. At this time the people decided by a vote of nearly six for to one against the issuing of the bonds. The building was to cost $13,000 and bonds were accordingly issued for the amount, but as is usual in all such cases, some changes and additions of the origi-
90
1036
HISTORY OF TAMA COUNTY.
nal plans were made which made the cost somewhat in excess of the amount.
Mr. Billings, of Chicago, took the con- tract for furnishing every thing and put- ting up the building for $11,000, and work was commenced on Monday morning, April 8, 1878. A large number of men were employed and the work pushed un- der the management of Mr. T. T. Moore, the foreman. But the Bankrupt Law was repealed by Congress and a date set for the expiration. There was a rush of people who were heavily loaded with debt to take advantage of it before it was too late. Among these was the contractor, Mr. Bil- lings. After some trouble, the Board took the matter into their own hands and appointed Mr. Foster, of DesMoines, architect, retaining Mr. Moore as foreman. The Board did the best that was possible under the circumstances. Every thing was done in the most thorough and work- man-like manner, and the building will doubtless stand the storm for centuries to come. It is 71x72 feet on the ground ex- chisive of the old part or wing. It is three stories high besides the basement, and is built of brick with a solid stone foundation. On the first floor are three school rooms 25×30 feet, respectively; on second floor are three rooms, high school room, 30 feet 4 inches by 41 feet 11 inches a recitation room 18 feet 8 inches by 30 feet 4 inches and a school room 26 feet 11 inches by 30 feet 8 inches. There is also a room in the tower for the Principal in which is kept the apparatus. The third floor contains a large hall with a good stage and seated with chairs. There are also on the first and second floors good roomy closets or wardrobes provided with
hooks for hanging clothes and packages. The basement is fitted up for a play room with the exception of a room large enough for the fuel. Entrance is made at the tower which is provided with two large double doors, one on the north and one on the west side, hung on first-class reversa- ble hinges. There is also a large door at the end of the hall extending through the building from north to south, at the south side of the building. The stairs leading to the second story are double, one flight being on the north and one on the south side of the hall. The doors are all hung so that they open into the hall to give bet- ter egress in case of fire or other accidents. The walls are heavy with cut stone trim- mings about the doors and windows. A mas- sive, substantial look is given to the whole. The roof is covered with slate and tin, and the cresting which is at once neat and tasty was put up by Messrs. Spayth & Fisher, the casting being done by the Union Plow Company, of Tama City. In the interior finish the same desire to have something which would be lasting as well as attractive has been made apparent. The rooms and halls are well wainscotted with Georgia pine, a species of pine which is almost as hard as oak. The floors are also made of the same wood, and both floor and wainscotting are finished in oil. The ceilings are high and neatly tinted and the whole job of finish in the interior is in oil tinting, the walls, etc., were done by P. G. Smith, of Fairfield. The exterior of the building is handsomely painted and tuck pointed, and in fact, the entire structure is built and finished in a thorough and work- man-like manner. Due eredit should be given to the School Board, composed of
1037

Messrs. L. Clark, J. S. Moore, H. Galley, E. C. Eborsole, A. II. Sterritt and A. J. Wheaton.
Though the town was laid out early in 1853, the first school house was not built until 1855. It was a small frame structure and stood where the old school house now stands. It appears from the books of the first Treasurer, Franklin Davis, that order No. 1 on school house fund was drawn in favor of C. D. Fanton, who plastered the house, and No. 2 was paid to T. N. Skin- ner, who did the carpenter work. The house was used for a long time for Church services as there was no church building in the place. Ilere the first sabbath school was organized-a union Sabbath school. The first school, numbering about thirty- five or forty pupils, was taught in the sum- mer of 1855 by John E. Walker, assisted by Alza Wood, afterward Mrs. J. L. Graham. The next term, winter of 1855-6, was taught by Jeremialı Hardin, assisted by Margaret MeLaury.
In those days there were no County Superintendents. Each Board of Directors satisfied themselves either personally or by proxy of the competence of the teacher. In this case, the Directors, T. A. Graham, Peter McRoberts and Franklin Davis, ap- pointed Lewis Merchant and C. D. Fan- ton examining committee. Miss MeLaury tanght alone in the spring of 1856, and then resigned for the sake of the first County Clerk, D. D. Appelgate, whom she married the same year.
The summer terms of 1856-7-8, were presided over by John Shanklin ; the last term assisted by Mrs. M. Shanklin, his wife. By this time the school had out
grown the house, which was afterward the residence of G. R. Struble. It is thought that the summer term of 1858 was taught by Miss Sarah Bunce, as it is known that she was a teacher abont that time.
Mrs. E. N. Barker and her daughter, Miss Maria, now Mrs. L. Clark, had been teaching a select school, but in Septem- ber, 1858, they went into the public school. At the same time John McClain had charge of part of the school in the buikl- ing, now ocenpied by C. W. Coneint as a store room. Mrs. Barker and daughter taught for some time, using a small frame house that stood west of the school house for one department.
In the fall of 1860, S. S. Dillman was appointed Principal of the school, the former teachers continuing to use the basement of the Congregational church. The school was now graded. Mr. Dill- man teaching the more advanced pupils in the school house.
In the spring of 1861, Mrs. Dillman taught in the basement of the church, as preparations were in progress for building a new school house. The old house was moved a little to the south and a new brick house erected on the old site. The old frame house was used for some time for a wood-house, but was burned down several years ago.
The new house was arranged for three departments, and the school was more thoroughly graded than was possible before, crowded as it was. Work com- menced in the fall of 1861, with Mr. Dill- man as Principal, Miss Jennie Logan teacher in the Intermediate and Mrs. Dillman in the Primary.
1038
IIISTORY OF TAMA COUNTY.
In the summer of 1862, Mr. Dillman went into the army and now fills a soldiers grave in Virginia. Mr. C. W. Burton was then employed as Principal.
In September, 1864, the term com- menced with a Mr. Shumaker as Principal. Ile became discouraged and left after teaching three days and the school was left without a Principal, Mrs. Dillman teaching in the High School. In 1865 M. T. Bales was elected to superintend the schools. In 1866 J. R. Stewart became Principal and remained in that position two years, when he stepped into the County Superintendency and was suc- ceeded in 1868 by A. H. Sterrett. After five years service he followed in the foot- steps of Mr. Stewart and became County Superintendent. About that time a plan was adopted for a larger school house, and a building put up to accommodate two departments which was intended for a wing to a large house at some future time. This now is the east wing of our present fine building. In 1877 the school again outgrew its bonds and an overflow de- partment was housed in what is known as the Bradbrook building.
The schools are made up of six depart- ments. First, second and third Primary, Intermediate, Grammar and High School, with an assistant in the latter.
Below is given what is intended to be a complete list of names of teachers en- gaged in the school from the beginning to the present time. If any names are omit- ted, it is not intentional.
