INDIANOLA.
It has already been noted that the county seat was located in 1849 and named Indianola. The improvement of the town began early in 1850, and was steady and permanent, there being no boom and never has been. The first house built on the present site of Indianola was before the town was laid out. It was erected by Jesse Liston, who took a claim on the land, but soon found that the land was entered, and moved his building farther west. After the location of the county seat, the first frame house built on the site was in the spring of 1850. It was a store building erected by Zachariah Nicholson for Z. H. Hockett who kept a general stock in this building and was the first merchant in the place. M. R. Barker erected the second store building in the winter of 1850 in which the first school was taught by Dr. Hezekiah Fisk. Afterward, Mr. Barker occupied the building and continued in business for more than fifty years. A. II. Barker erected the first frame dwelling house in Indianola, southwest of the public square, and it was used for a hotel. The first hotel, however, was a log house owned by Dr. I. Windle of Des Moines. It was called the Iowa House and was first occupied by JJ. F. Woodside. John Embree taught the second school in Indianola. The first settlers of Indianola were noted for good citizenship and morality and the town has retained that reputation to the present time. Such was the growth of the town that the following advertisements are found in the Republican for December 9, 1855. Printing Office, John W. Murphy, pro- prietor of the Republican. Dry Goods, A. R. & J. W. Haynes, George W. Jones, Seachrest & Meek, M. R. Barker & Co., William Barnwell, I. & C. Posegate.

Physicians, Windle & Noble, H. Fisk. Attorneys, Bryan & Williamson, Todhunter & Millard, and W. W. Nevison. Meat Market, E. Hunt. There were doubtless other classes of business repre- sented, not found in the advertisements of that date. In the midst of the Civil war in the year 1863, a movement was made to incorporate the town of Indianola under the general law of the state.
The following petition was filed with the county court :
To the Honorable County Court of Warren County, Iowa :
Your petitioners, citizens of the town of Indianola, county of Warren, and State of Iowa, would respectfully pray your honor that the following described territory be incorporated under the name and style of the City of Indianola, which said territory embraces the aforesaid town of Indianola, together with all its additions, to-wit : Commencing at the half mile stake on the north side of section twenty-five, township seventy-six, north of range twenty-four west, thence running due east two hundred and thirty-six rods, thence due south sixty- eight rods, thence due east eighty-four rods, to the half mile line. in section thirty, township seventy-six, north of range twenty-three west, thence south to the center of said section thirty, thence due west to the north end of Walnut street, in Haworth's addition to said town of Indianola, thence due south one hundred and sixty rods, thence due west to the southwest corner of said section thirty, thence still due west fifty-five rods and twenty-one links, thence north eighty rods, thence west sixty-five rods and twenty-nine links, thence north eighty rods, thence west to the center of section twenty-five, town- ship seventy-six, range twenty-four, which will more fully appear from an accurate plat of said described territory herewith attached and made part of this petition. Your petitioners further represent that they have selected and duly empowered Maxwell & McNeil to act as attorneys in behalf of petitioners in proseenting the passage of this petition to a final termination. This is signed by ninety tax-payers.
A remonstrance was presented, but seems to have been a joke rather than an earnest effort to defeat the proposition. The town was incorporated and its financial affairs have been as well conducted as any county seat in the state. A good class of men have been in control from 1864 to the present time. Below is given a list of the town officers :
