HISTORY OF DALLAS COUNTY.
LIST OF COUNTY OFFICERS.
The aim in the following is to give as complete a list as possible of the various county officers and representatives, with their respective dates of election, as taken from the records of elections. Some of the abstracts of the earlier elections are missing, so that it has been a difficult task to trace out this list of names, and impossible to find some that should appear here. But with the exception of the few missing links, the list will serve to give a condensed and classified view of all the important officers chosen at the regular annual elections, in their order of succession, under their respective headings, together with the length of time that each one served, following the dates of election and not of inauguration.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
The financial affairs of the county were first managed by a board of county commissioners, consisting of three in number, which, except the first board elected, were chosen for terms of one, two and three years respec- tively, thus adding one new commissioner each year, and retaining two of experience on the board all the time.
These successive boards were as follows:
April to August, 1847-William W. Miller, Tristram Davis, Greenbury Coffin.
August, 1847, to August, 1848-Noah Staggs, Wm. W. Miller, O. D. Smalley.
August, 1848, to Angust, 1849-William P. McCubbin, Wm. W. Miller, Tristram Davis (the last mentioned was elected also the April previous, to fill vacancy caused by the resignation of Noah Staggs).
August, 1849, to August, 1850-Wm. W. Miller, Wm. P. McCubbin, Tristram Davis.
August, 1850, to August, 1851-J. C. Corbell, Wm. P. McCubbin, Tris- tram Davis.
This was the last board of county commissioners elected. By an act of the legislature the county affairs were then managed by a county judge.
COUNTY JUDGES.
L. D. Burns, August, 1851, to Oct., 1859. Henry Thornburgh, Oct. 1859; resigned January, 1861. Jeremiah Perkins, appointed to fill va- cancy, January, 1861. He was elected October, 1861, and served in that capacity until the office was abolished.
The management of county affairs, however, was virtually taken out of the hands of the county judge in 1861, being given into the hands of a board of supervisors, which should consist of one supervisor elected from each civil township in the county, according to sections 3 and 4, Article 11, Chapter 22, of the Revised Code of Iowa, and the judge's office was con- fined to probate business.
SUPERVISORS.
Dallas county, at that time, only having ten organized civil townships, was therefore entitled to but ten supervisors to constitute their board, of

whom one-half were elected for two years, and the remainder for one year, divided by lot before the proper authorities.
The following table shows the names of the first board, and the last board of 16 county supervisors. Their first meeting was held January 7, 1861:
1861-1862.

The last board of sixteen (16) supervisors, under the old system, con- sisted of the following named persons:
1869-1870.
Benjamin Greene, Chairman.
S. H. Vestal, L. D. Bullis, Chas. B. Snow, B. W. Thomas, L. S. Wells, B. F. Sincoak, David J. Pattee, G. S. Mitchell, J. W. Redfield, Wm. Davidson, G. W. Hermon, W. E. Tolle, O. D. Smalley, Jacob Stump, Wm. Jenkins.
In 1870 the supervisor system was changed and the number reduced to three, who should be elected by the county at the general election. The law provided that the first board of three supervisors should be elected to serve one, two and three years respectively, their several positions to be de- termined by lot, before the proper authorities. Afterward one new super- visor was to be elected each year for the term of three years, leaving two old members on the board constantly, except in cases of resignation, when others must be elected, or appointed, to fill vacancies.
October 11, 1870, the first board of three supervisors was elected by the county, which consisted of the following named persons: David Smart, three years term. William Ellis, two years term. J. W. Redfield, one year term. J. R. Van Meter, March 23, 1871, by appointment; vice, Ellis, resigned.
AFTERWARD ELECTED.
O. D. Smalley, Oct., 1871, to fill vacancy. Abe. Smith, Oct., 1871, full term. S. W. Gilliland, November, 1872. J. C. Goodson, October, 1873. Benjamin Greene, October, 1873, to fill vacancy. L. Warford, October, 1874. L. D. Burns, October, 1875. Jacob Stump, November, 1876. Wm. B. Ellis, October, 1877. L. D. Burns, October, 1878.
Others may have been appointed to fill vacancies whose names we have not been able to learn.

HISTORY OF DALLAS COUNTY.
SENATORS.
James Redfield, 1862-66. Only served during one session, when he was appointed lieutenant-colonel of 39th Iowa Infantry, and was killed at the battle of Allatoona, Ga., October 5, 1864. His term in the Senate was served out by some one from another county.
The remaining senators elected from this county were: Joseph R. Reed, 1866-70. Henry Thornburgh, 1870-74.
CIRCUIT JUDGES.
John Mitchell, 1868-78. S. A. Callvert, the present incumbent, was appointed by the Governor, June 1st, 1878, and elected October, 1878. He is the first and only one elected to that position from this county.
DISTRICT JUDGES AND JUDICIAL DISTRICTS.
Dallas county has not yet furnished a district judge from the ranks of her citizens; but we give the names of the different judges presiding over the District Court in the county, and the judicial districts to which they be- longed, together with the various changes in those districts until they were settled in the present form.
Hon. James P. Charlton, the first district judge who presided in Dallas county, belonged to the Fourth Judicial District, and was the only judge from that district who presided over a term of court in this county until after the change. Originally, the fourth district was composed of the counties of Benton, Boone, Dallas, Iowa, Jasper, Johnson, Linn, Marshall, Polk, Poweshiek, Story and Tama. But, in 1849, Washington county was annexed to it, from the first district, and Dallas, Boone, Jasper, Marshall, Polk and Story counties were detached, to form the new Fifth Judicial District, consequently, Charlton was no longer the presiding judge here.
Dallas county remained in the fifth district about seven years, and during that time the following district judges presided over court, in Adel:
Hon. William McKay, of Polk county, presided over the second term of District Court held in the county, June 4, 1849, as shown by the records. He was elected to that office April 2, 1849, and commissioned April 27, just two years after the date of Hon Charlton's commission.
Hon. Mckay continued as the presiding judge here until after the May term of court, 1854.
Hon. Phineas M. Casady, of Polk county, was elected as his successor, April 3, 1854; qualified June 1st, and then resigned without serving even one term.
Hon. Charles J. McFarland, of Boone county, was appointed in his place by Governor Hempstead, in May, 1854; qualified in July, and presided over the October term of the district court in Dallas county the same year.
Hon. Wmn. W. Williamson, of Polk county, was declared elected as his successor on April 2, 1855, and qualified the 11th; but this election was contested, and the contest was decided January 10, 1856, in favor of Hon. Charles J. McFarland, who qualified the same day, and resumed the duties of his office, continuing to preside over the district court in Dallas county until December, 1856, when a change in judicial districts was again made, and Dallas, Jasper, Marion and Polk counties were detached from the Fifth to aid in forming the new Eleventh Judicial District, and McFarland was no longer the presiding judge in Dallas.
374
HISTORY OF DALLAS COUNTY.
Hon. Wm. M. Stone, of Marion county, was elected the first judge of this new Eleventh District, April 6, 1857; was commissioned April 23, and served in that capacity until January 1, 1859.
In accordance with Article V of the Constitution of 1857 the fourteen old judicial districts, formed under the constitution of 1846, were superseded by eleven new districts, the judges and district attorneys of which entered severally upon their duties January 1, 1859.
Under the last change Dallas county again became part of the Fifth Ju- dicial District in connection with Adair, Guthrie, Madison Polk and War- ren counties, which position it still retains.
Hon. John H. Gray was the first judge of this new district, after the change under the constitution of 1857.
He was first elected October 12, 1858; was re-elected October 14, 1862, and served in that capacity with great acceptance for more than seven years, until October 14, 1865, when he died, highly esteemed and sadly lamented by all who knew him.
Hon. Charles C. Nourse was duly appointed his successor by Governor Wm. M. Stone, October 16, 1865; qualified October 20, and in less than a year resigned; this resignation to take effect August 1, 1866.
Hon. Hugh Maxwell was appointed to fill the vacancy until October 9, 1866, when he was elected by the people, and was re-elected October 11, 1870, serving out his second full term of office, and occupying the position more than eight years.
Hon. John Leonard was elected as his successor October 13, 1874, enter- ing upon the duties of his office the first of January following, and faith- fully served his four years' term in an acceptable manner.
Hon. W. H. McHenry was elected as his successor October 8, 1878, and is therefore the present incumbent.
COUNTY FINANCES.
The financial management of Dallas county has always been an economi- cal one.
Opposed to running the county in debt, its financiers have never permit- ted useless extravagance or rash expenditure, and in the opinion of some have at times ignored the best interests of the county by a too conservative management.
The county taxes have been comparatively light, and generally judiciously expended.
In the early days county orders were sometimes considerably below par, selling at from sixty to seventy cents on the dollar; but this was years ago, and the present high standard of county warrants brings contract bids down to a cash basis, securing for the county full work for the orders drawn.
No money has ever been paid out of the county treasury for any railroads through its territory, nor has any very great amount ever been spent for the erection of public buildings.
At the April election. 1857, a vote was carried ordering that a new court- house be built, and paid for out of the treasury fund to the amount of about $10,000; a poor farm was purchased and fitted up by the county; a good brick jail was built about six years ago at a cost of about $5,000; and a few years ago a brick building was erected in the court yard for the offices of treasurer, clerk and recorder, which cost also about $5,000. The above
375
HISTORY OF DALLAS COUNTY.
items constitute about the bulk of the expenditure from the county treasury for public buildings for county use, aside from that drawn from the school fund for the erection of school-houses, which latter fund has been quite lib- erally drawn upon and judiciously expended to the credit of the county.
The outstanding county warrants only amount to about $5,000, the greater per cent of which is not due yet, and the bond indebtedness is little over $4,000, making the entire indebtedness of the county at present a little less than $10,000, which this year's levy will entirely cancel, leaving the county on a square footing, and making a most creditable showing for the financial management of the county.
The long concealed wealth of the county now begins to become available, so that it would be a very easy matter to borrow a few hundred, or even many thousands of dollars on the public credit, in comparison with what it was nearly thirty-two years ago, when the credit of the county could not se- cure for it the meager sum of $200 with which to enter the "town quarter" selected as the seat of justice.
The wealth and value were here at that time, as well as now, hid deep down in the earth and mixed in the fertile soil; but these were not then available, and the mere prospect of them was not sufficient security for ob- taining the ready cash in any considerable amount, since that most impor- tant article was even much more scarce then than now in these much criti- cised and sadly abused days of "specie resumption."
As people, in those early days, did not dream that the county would attain the present stage of development in thirty years, so now no one can estimate the advancement it will make in thirty years to come.
