COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS.
Perry Nowlen, of Des Moines town- ship, was the first one elected to the office of Superintendent of Schools in Pocahontas county. It was at the second election of county officers, held Oct. 11, 1859, that he was elected but he did not qualify. On March 20, 1860, the County Judge, John A. James, appointed Oscar F. Avery to fill the vacancy, and as its first incum- bent, he held this office from the date

Fred C. Gilchrist held the office during the next two years, 1890 and 1891; and Clel Gilchrist, his elder of his appointment until May 6, 1861, brother, during the next three terms, when he resigned.

COUNTY SURVEYORS.
At the first election held March 15, 1859, Guernsey Smith was elected as the first County Surveyor for the re- maining months of that year. The records do not show that. he qualified for this office, but only that, in part- nership with Geo. S. Ringland, he as- sisted in making the second special survey of the swamp lands of the county during that summer, under a special contract with Oscar Slosson, the County Judge.
At the general election held in the fall of 1859, Robert Struthers was elected County Surveyor and seems to have been the first to qualify for that office. He was re-elected in 1863 and resigned Nov. 11, 1864. No one was appointed to fill the vacancy, and in the fall of 1865 he was again re-elected, and qualified. He was the only in- cumbent of the office during the ten years from Jan. 1, 1860, to Jan. 1, 1870.
Geo. W. Strong was elected as his successor and held the office from Jan. 1, 1870, to April 3, 1871, when he re- signed and Oscar I. Strong, his cousin, was appointed to fill the vacancy during the remaining months of that
Lute C. Thornton served the next term during the years 1884 and 1885, and after the lapse of two years, served another term during 1888 and 1889. John J. Cullen served the in- tervening term, during 1886 and 1887. H. W. Bissell became the next County Surveyor and being re-elected, served four years, 1890 to 1893, when Fred A. Malcolm served two terms, 1894 to 1897, and H. W. Bissell, on Jan. 3, 1898, became his successor and is now serving his third term.
It is the duty of the County Survey- or to make all surveys of land within the county that he may be called up- on to make, and his surveys are pre- sumed to be correct. He is required to establish corners and mark them by stones firmly placed in the ground, or by mounds. All plats and records made by him must show at whose per- sonal request they were made, the names of the chainmen and that they were approved and sworn by the sur- veyor, the date of the new survey and the variation of the magnetic from the true meridian stated.

After the adoption of the state con- stitution of 1857, the judicial districts in Iowa were re-arranged by an act of the General Assembly of Iowa, ap- proved March 20, 1858, the change taking effect Jan. 1, 1859. At this date Pocahontas and twenty-one other counties in Northwest Iowa were in- cluded in the Fourth Judicial district and so remained until July 4, 1876, when by an act approved March 8th previous, the counties of Kossuth, Humboldt, Emmet, Palo Alto, Poca- hontas, Calhoun, Dickinson, Clay, Buena Vista, Sac and Ida were de- tached to form the new Fourteenth district, but for the purpose of hold- ing court remained connected with the former district until Jan. 1, 1877.
