BUSINESS INTERESTS.
The stores of Louden correspond well with the general improvement of the village. On December 8, 1869, a disastrous conflagration destroyed nine busi- ness and dwelling houses, and a great amount of other valuable property. The block on which Petersen Brothers' store was situated was completely burned. In 1870, this firm built a fine large brick block of two stories, 58x80 feet in size, at a cost of $15,000. This firm, consisting of Julius, Emil and Herman Petersen, has been in business since 1862, and has done much to increase the growth of Louden. They have an elevator and warehouse, 150 feet long, built in 1876, and carry a large, general stock of goods (including agricultural implements, furniture, hardware, tin shop, banking business, insurance agency, American express agency and grain dealing. They have also a similar estab- lishment at Wheatland, five miles east.
In 1872, Wm. F. Hahn, druggist, built a substantial brick building of two stories, on the opposite corner from Petersen Bros., at a cost of $6,000. There are many other good frame business buildings.
The present business interests are represented by the following firms : Petersen Bros., general merchandise, banking and grain; Banks & Bennett, dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes and grain ; William Kohler, general mer- chandise and grain; W. F. Hahn, druggist and apothecary ; August Petersen, lumber, coal, lime, cement and grain ; N. D. Henry, lumber, coal, lime and cement ; Win. F. Rice, saddles and harness; D. Foche, John Stocker, L.

HISTORY OF CEDAR COUNTY.
The population of Louden is principally German. At the census taken in 1875, there was 439 inhabitants, representing 101 families, and having an equal number of residences. There were 149 persons between 5 and 21 years and seventy-eight voters.
Land in this vicinity is unsurpassed for farming purposes, and two large stone quarries furnish an abundance of building material.
Sunday, June 23 (1878), after the above historical sketch was written and in the hands of the printer, a fire occurred, destroying nearly two blocks in the business part of Louden, including the large establishment of Petersen Brothers. The principal sufferers were Petersen Bros., $40,000; Aug. Petersen, N. Whit- ney, Gerchen, Flinn, Mrs. Curry and Mrs. Dugan. The total loss was about fifty thousand dollars, on which the Petersens held some eighteen thousand dol- lars insurance, and other parties $4,000. Nineteen buildings, in all, were burned.
STANWOOD.
The original owners of the village plat of Stanwood were William C. and Samuel H. Maley and William Preston, who obtained a tract of 880 acres of farming lands adjoining the village plat by purchase from Mr. Flournoy in April, 1868. Messrs. Maley and Preston proposed to the C. & N. W. Ry. Co. to buy a village of forty acres, giving an undivided one-half interest to that corporation, on condition of its locating a depot here. In 1868, the offer was accepted, and in December of that year the first side track was laid, and the survey of the village completed in the Spring of 1869.
William Allen was the first man to build a house in the newly created plat. He erected a small frame structure, in the Spring of 1869, a short distance south- west of the depot building. Mr. Allen opened the first tavern in his house as soon as it was finished. The second house was occupied by S. R. Houghton, pending the erection of his own public house, during the Summer of 1869. It was in the former building that the first religious service was held within the limits of the village, in the Spring of 1869, by a traveling clergyinan of the Methodist Episcopal denomination, whose name, unfortunately, is now unknown.
Religious services were held by the Reformed Presbyterians earlier than the above date in the vicinity of what became the village; but that society had no regular organization or place of stated worship. The United Presbyterian Church, with which the Reformed Presbyterians above referred to united, was organized January 25, 1868, by Rev. J. S. Buchanan, of Clarence, in a school house one and a half miles south of the village site, and was transferred to Stan- wood shortly after the survey was made. Rev. W. Larrimer was installed the first Pastor November 8, 1870. Rev. D. Forsyth took charge March 1, 1874. Present membership, 50. A church edifice is now owned by the society, but no Pastor is located here. Regular services are held by Rev. J. B. Galloway, of Clarence. The Methodist Episcopal society has a house of worship, Rev. Mr. Rankin, Pastor. The organization of the society dates back to 1869.
The first school was opened in the Winter of 1869-70, with John B. Inger- soll as teacher. The first school house was built in 1872, when the village was organized as an independent district. In 1876, the existing school building was erected. Misses Little and Shattuck, present teachers.
The first Postmaster was William Allen, appointed in 1869.
The first store was opened by John Bell, in April, 1869. The second store was owned and managed by Maley Bros. & McCoy, in May, 1869.
508
HISTORY OF CEDAR COUNTY.
There are two elevators located here; one owned by L. & S. C. Wilkins, and the other by Mr. Pickering, the latter of Chicago.
The depot building was completed in June, 1869. Prior to that date, the place was merely a " flag" station. Population, 350.
WEST BRANCH.
This village is one of recent growth, but it is rapidly becoming one of the best towns in the county. For many years after Rochester had become a vil- lage, the site of West Branch was yet a wild prairie. Its first settlement was not made until 1850-51, when several families entered that portion of the town- ship ; among them were Joseph K. Quaintance, Isaiah Morris and David Tatum.
In October, 1852, William Townsend came with his family from Knox County, Ohio, having purchased his land the year before. At that time, says Mr. Townsend, the only settlers between Hickory Grove and the Iowa timber were those above named. Samuel Abbott came from Indiana, in the same Fall, and settled on the William Oliphant farm. About the same time, also, Samuel King settled within the village site, and Phineas Cowgill, since deceased, moved to the farm, two miles west, now occupied by Henry Cowgill.
Soon after, came Eli Hoover, James Townsend (1853), Thomas Barrington, Joseph Steer and Michael King.
The first post office and grocery were kept by Samuel King, in his house, which was locate:l on the south side of Main street, in the west part of the town, and is now occupied by George Bean.
The land on which William Townsend built his house, in 1852, was after- ward included in the town plat. That house has been replaced by the one in which his son, Charles Townsend, now resides.
Mr. Abbott's house was built on Oliphant street, near Main, and is now owned by William Oliphant. The next one was built by Joseph Steer, in 1853, on Main street, nearly opposite Oliphant street, now the residence of Thomas Penrose.
Mr. King moved away, after several years, and no other store was opened until 1860, when Mr. Steer started a general store, in his house, just west o the town corporation, on the north side of Main street, now occupied by Charles Grewell.
Timothy Kirk took the post office after Mr. King. Then it was removed to the house of James Townsend, who kept the " Traveler's Rest," where many a weary traveler found repose and refreshment. After Mr. Steer's store was opened, the post office was removed to that place.
After one and a half years, Mr. Steer built the first storehouse in town, on Main street, near Poplar street, on the site of the present warehouse of Benjamin Miles. The building was removed to the southeast corner of Downey and Main streets and is occupied by Miles & Townsend and Edmundson & Yetter. Mr. Steer sold to Townsend & Gill, and removed to Kansas. The firm afterward became Gill & Bingham, and is now continued by Miles & Townsend.
Mr. Henry A. Jepson has been in general business and Postinaster for many y ears.
In 1867, the only general stores in the village were those of Gill & Town- send and Henry A. Jepson.
In 1869, there was but a small settlement at West Branch. There were two houses, one store, one shop and a school house.

HISTORY OF CEDAR COUNTY.
May 29, 1869, the village was laid out by Joseph Steer, attorney, for John M. Wetherel. Mr. Steer made an addition on the west side March 1, 1872, and J. W. Witler afterward made another addition ; but the great growth oc- curred after the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern Railroad was built through it.
CAMERON.
A separate village was laid off on the east of West Branch, on the land of William Wright, William H. Oliphant, Benjamin Miles, William Boggie. Joseph Broadhead, John Y. Hoover, Thomas Townsend, John Deane, P. W. Hollings- worth, William Townsend and James Cook. It was surveyed several times by William W. Lamborn, and the plat was concluded Nov. 26, 1869. This village was named Cameron, in honor of John S. Cameron, Chief Engineer of the rail- road, now a member of the Railroad Commission of Iowa. The entire village has, however, reverted to the old name, West Branch.
William H. Oliphant made an addition to the west side of the town plat, January 7, 1870.
The building of the railroad will be noticed in another chapter, as will also be the newspaper history.
In 1873, the West Branch Mills, on the west side of the railroad and north side of Main street, were built, by Heacock & Burden, at a cost of about $7,000. It is a two-story frame steam grist-mill, 24x54 feet in size, with a shed, 16x40 feet, having two runs of stone, of fifty to 100 bushels per day capacity. The mills were afterward operated by Burden, Reeves & Son, then by Burden, Brown & Hawley, and are now continued by Burden, Hawley & Pennock.

HISTORY OF CEDAR COUNTY.
January 15, 1875, the West Branch Bank was established, by a stock com- pany, with a cash capital of $50,000, under the management of Joseph Steer, President; A. H. Graham, Vice President; and J. C. Chambers, Cashier. In September, 1877, the company built the fine two-story brick building on the corner of Downey and Main streets. Of this, the basement is occupied by the office of the Times, the first floor by the bank, and the second story as the hall of the Good Templars. The present bank officers are: A. H. Graham, Presi- dent ; Abram Cowgill, Vice President ; J. C. Chambers, Cashier.
February 5, 1875, a petition was signed by thirty-two legal voters within the limits of West Branch, stating that it contained 353 inhabitants and pray- ing that an election be held to vote upon the propriety of incorporating the village. Accordingly, J. Stecr, E. Grinnell, L. J. Miles, James Townsend and Wm. D. Hammell were appointed Commissioners of Election March 4, 1875. At an election held in the school house Monday, March 29, 1875, at 2 o'clock P. M., 41 votes for and 34 against the action were pollcd, and West Branch was accordingly incorporated.
SCHOOLS.
A school lot of one acre, occupying the land at the southwest corner of Main and Downey streets, was purchased by the School Board, of whichi Wm. Townsend was then President, from Joseph Steer, for $10.00, June 3, 1853. The same Summer, a school house, then considered commodious, was built, at a cost of $800.
In 1869, the main part of the new school house on the hill was built, and operated by the Society of Friends for a short time, with Jocl and Hannah Bean as instructors. It was then purchased by the Independent School District and the old building moved near to and north of it and used as a primary school room. At that time, May 4, 1870, the school acre was divided into lots, as an addition to Cameron, and sold, realizing about $800. Recently, an addition, as large as the original building, was made to the school house, making it one of the best and largest graded schools on the west side of the river. They are now taught by N. W. Macy, Principal, whose energy and work have greatly improved the schools. His assistants are Misses Elma E. Bray, Lottie Kalb There are three rooms, two recitation rooms, and, at. and Jessie Courtland. present, 150 pupils.
RELIGIOUS.
The settlement of Springdale Township is principally of the Society of Friends. In 1846-7, several familics of this denomination settled near Spring- dale, and a preparative meeting was established there, and another at West Branch. A monthly meeting was established in 1853. Meetings were first. held at the residence of William Townsend, and then in a little shop of Samuel King, until the school house was built, where they were continued until the erection of their churchi.
The Methodist Church was built on Downey, between Penn and Wetherel streets, in 1870, at a cost of $2,300. The socicty was organized a year before, and preaching was held irregularly in the school house by Rev. William Lee, of Tipton, and others. Rev. A. B. Smith was the first regular Pastor, followed, in 1870, by Rev. D. C. Worts for two years; then Rev. W. C. McCormic, three years ; Rev. S. C. Freer, two years. followed by Rev. S. B. Maltbie, the present Pastor. The society was organized with sixteen members, and has now sixty-five. Clark Bean is Class Leader. Sabbath school has been in organiza- tion from the beginning of the society, with E. Haines as first Superintendent. J. C. Pickering, present officer in charge.

HISTORY OF CEDAR COUNTY.
Presbyterian Church .- Rev. Charles P. Spinning, of this denomination then residing a mile north of town, preached occasionally in the school house during 1869-70-71, after which there was no preaching until 1875, since when Rev. J. P. Schell has officiated. The Church was organized in 1877, and the building erected in the Fall of that year. It is located on the northwest corner of Main and Second streets.
The Baptist Church had their first regular services during the Summer of 1877. A church building, six miles north, was purchased, moved to the south side of Main, between Second and Third streets, and refitted for church purposes.
The Church of Wilber Friends has been an active organization for some time. They have a neat church on Green street, near Fourth.
SOCIETIES.
Crystal Lodge, No. 49, I. O. G. T., was organized in November, 1875, withi thirty charter members, among whom H. A. Jepson, James P. Pinkham and L. J. Miles are yet members. Of the first officers, L. J. Miles was Worthy Chief ; Dr. J. I. Bailey, Lodge Deputy, and J. C. Johnson, Secretary. Meet- ings were held in Collins' Hall. The present officers are Henry Sleeper, W. C .; Edward Edmundson, Financial Secretary ; H. L. Cook, Treasurer; Mrs. A. Jepson, W. V .; Miss Maggie Campbell, Chaplain ; H. A. Jepson, P. W. C. The Lodge has an excellent hall over the bank, and, in conjunction with the W. C. T. U. and Lecture Association, has recently established, in the same room, a Temperance Reading Room, where any who choose may pass their evenings with interesting books, papers and magazines.
The Band of Hope was organized two years ago by Rev. J. V. Hoover, who still manages it. Meetings are held on every alternate Sabbath afternoon. It has a membership of about one hundred young people.
The Blue Ribbon Club was organized immediately after a temperance lecture delivered recently by Joseph Parliam, of Muscatine. The society meets in Bean's Hall, and has as officers D. E. Mackey, President ; Edward Edmundson, Secretary, and H. A. Jepson, Treasurer.
From the societies enumerated, it will be seen that, for a village of its size, West Branch has taken a greater action against intemperance than most villages in the State.
DOWNEY.
The vicinity of Downey was the first place in Springdale Township to be settled. The settlers were principally from Ohio, being a branch of the settle- ment which had been made in the northwestern part of Muscatine County.
Enos Nyce, a native of Ross Co., Ohio, and family, consisting of wife and two children, settled in the county, on the southeast corner of Rochester Town- ship, May 20, 1836, where he built and occupied the first cabin in Cedar County. This he sold to Luke Billups, in the Fall of 1836, and moved to the southwest quarter of Section 34, Township 79, Range 4 west, where he lived until his death in 1839. Mrs. Nyce now lives in West Liberty, Muscatine County.
William Sutton settled near Mr. Nyce, in October, 1836.
E. K. Morse, then a young and single man, in 1838, entered a tract of land on the Muscatine County line, one. and one-half miles east of Johnson County line, where he built a cabin, one-half of which was covered with clapboards, and the other half with prairie grass. In 1840, he sold this claim to Andrew and Wm. Brisbine-two brothers who still own and live upon the land.
512
HISTORY OF CEDAR COUNTY.
Mr. Morse went northwest and settled on a piece of land in Johnson County, which has since become the site of Morseville.
These,, with A. G. Smith, George Barnes and Chester Coleman, formed the first settlement in this township. Mr. Smith came in 1841, and died in 1854. His wife, Mrs. Anna Smith, still resides on the farm. Mr. Barnes died in 1842, on his farm. Mr. Coleman returned to Ohio, in 1844, where he died, and the farm belonging to the two latter was purchased by. its present owner, Simeon Barnes, in 1847.
In that year, also, came John Larue, who is still a resident there. He settled on the farm owned in succession by Sutton, Seevers and Proctor.
In 1849, came A. B. Cornwall, Reuben Elliott, Hanson Gregg and John Wright. Some of these had been in Iowa, one and two years previous to this time, but not in Cedar County, except Mr. Cornwall, who had settled on the "Bond" farm in 1847, afterward moved to Muscatine County, then to his pres- ent location.
The Indians were very numerous until 1840, and presumed to own this country as their hunting ground and did not regard the encroachments of the pale-face with favor ; they would tear down the fences of the settlers whenever they crossed a trail, and drive their herds of ponies through the growing crops.
The murder of Atwood will be referred to more specifically in another chap- ter of this work.
In 1850, when the history of the settling of Springdale Township began in earnest, an exciting incident occurred in this settlement. A small child of Wm. Henderson, 2 years old, its inother having gone to one of the neighbors some distance north, was left at home with an older sister. The little girl-Lizzie- slipped off and attempted to follow her mother. The older daughter thinking her mother, had little Lizzie with her, did not look for her, and when the mother came home they neither of them knew where she was. The alarm was given, and search began; this was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, in September. The tracks could be found for some distance in the direction which her mother had gone, but all traces were lost and by dark, about thirty men from far and near, with women and children were out searching in every direction ; the night was cold, so cold that those on horseback suffered, while the howls of fierce wolves brought terror to every heart. The search was continued all through the weary night, when just as the sun was rising in the east, the little Lizzie was found in a patch of weeds about one and a quarter miles from the house, where she was fast asleep ; and when the first nian found the child and gave the news to his companions, there was one grand re-echo along the line: "Liz- zie is found, alive and well."
Among the early settlers who still reside near Downey, are Jonathan and Thomas Crozier, who came in 1852; Henry Waters, in 1853; Hanson Gregg, in 1850 ; E. T. S. Schenck, in Muscatine County, in 1839, and Cedar County in 1832; Alvin, son of John Larue, in 1847, and John Nyce, son of Enos Nyce, in 1836.
September, 27, 1852, James B. Berryhill entered the southeast quarter of Section 30. This was sold to Hngh D. Downey, one-half, January 18, and the remainder, September 21, 1853. The Spring after the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, or Mississippi & Missouri Railroad, as it was then called, was com- pleted, Mr. Downey laid out the village which received his name. June 29, 1869, the eighty acres on which the village was laid off was purchased by A. B. Cornwall, who had it re-surveyed by Martin G. Miller September 10, 1869. At that time, the following persons owned lots there : A. B. Cornwall, James
