MOUNT IDA.
Up to 1877 the history of the town is included in that of Fenni- more, of which it formed a part. In that year the town was organ- ized, and the first town election was held at the Gap School-house in April, 1878. It is Town 6, Range 3, and contains thirty-six square miles, mostly good farming land on the Military Ridge. Its popula- lation has been : in 1880, 877; in 1885, 869; in 1890, 779; in 1865, 825.
A post-office called Mount Ida, with a store (both kept by Richard Buggins) and a blacksmith shop, has been located on the Military Road in Section 29 since early in the fifties, but the place has hardly risen to the dignity of a village. There is a Baptist church on Section 19 near the post-office.
The town has ever been a quiet farming community with few ex- citing events. In April, 1866, Mrs. Lucille Rogers, wife of Leander C. Rogers, living on the eastern edge of the present town, near Fenni- more village, killed her two children and herself by poisoning with strychnine. Domestic trouble was the motive. Arthur Richardson committed suicice September 23, 1891, by stabbing himself in the breast with a knife The cause was family trouble. On the 7th of Oc- tober, 1882, Joseph Ivey, living near Werley, shot and killed his son- in-law, Orlando Bacon, in a family quarrel. He was sentenced to two years' imprisonment.

WERLEY.
This village sprang up on the building of the railroad from Wood- man in 1878. It is situated on Sections 5 and 6, Mount Ida. It was named from a prominent citizen, Hon. Gottlieb Wehrle, with an angli- cised spelling. The place has a post-office, George Pearson postmaster, three or four stores, and two churches: Free Methodist and Christian, but no resident minister.

GLEN HAVEN AND WATERLOO.
Settlement and Growth of Glen Haven-The Young Tragedy-The Jordan Murder-Town Organization and Officers of Glen Haven-North Andover-Waterloo-Burton.
SETTLEMENT AND GROWTH OF GLEN HAVEN.
In 1840 Newton and Richard Ray entered land on Section 12, Town 4, Range 6. The steamboat landing was for many years called Ray's Landing. There was some effort about 1844 to start a town called Mendota on land owned by Washington and Reason Scott in Section 13, but nothing came of it. Louis Reynolds settled in the lim- its of the present town in 1840 and Isaac C. Lander in 1844. In 1842 William Jordan settled on his farm on the prairie, and in 1843 James Kilbourn opened his farm. James L. Taylor settled on his farm near Oliver's Mill in 1845.
The land on which the village is situated was bought in 1836 by A. D. Ramsey, of whom it was bought in 1852 by William Pollock, who sold it to D. P. Grinter & Co. in 1855. A log warehouse was built at the landing in 1850. Jesse Brooks, now living in Bloomington, then teaching at Ray's School-house, Section 12, helped to raise it.
In 1850 Marcus H. Hayes established a horse ferry between Ray's Landing and Guttenberg, Iowa. In 1856 a steam ferry was estab- lished. The boiler of the boat exploded that year, but a new boat was soon put on. In 1856 the place was first called Glen Haven.
The village was laid out in 1857 by C. P. Goodrich, D. P. Grinter, Marcus H. Hayes, J. B. Sargent, R. Noble, and George Burroughs. A steam saw-mill and a few dwellings were built in the place this year. In 1858 more buildings were put up. Mr. McIntosh came in and by his energy the town was greatly improved, thirty dwellings being built. McIntosh's means failed and the town declined, many build- ings being vacant in 1859.
The first store was kept by Ed Palmer. Some years later James M. Scott and Luther Basford put in an extensive stock of general mer-

chandise. David Stewart moved from Beetown and erected a spacious stone warehouse at the landing. The saw-mill, which was built by J. B. Sargent, was bought by McIntosh, who in time removed the ma- chinery. After the war a second saw-mill was built, but after a few years' trial it was found not to pay, and the machinery was removed, the building being used by Scott & Basford as a warehouse.
The village suffered from an extensive fire July 3, 1874. It origin- ated in the stone warehouse, then owned by Dr. Grinter, and a strong wind carried the flames across the street to the grocery store of John M. Kill, sweeping from there up Front and Main Streets. The losses were: Dr. Grinter, warehouse and contents, $10,000; John M. Kill, building and goods, $3,000; Joseph Werry and Clement Schwaller, building and goods, $8,000; estate of David Stewart, building occu- pied for various purposes; Mrs. David Stewart, residence, $4,000 ; C. Chandler, wagon-shop; Joseph Arendes, wagon-shop; Isaac Wil- son, residence. The citizens energetically set about rebuilding the burned business houses and it was not long until only a few traces of the destruction remained.
The first school taught was in what is known as the Ray School- house on Section 12, east of the village. Jesse Brooks was the peda- gogue. The first school taught in the village was in an old frame building belonging to Dr. Grinter. In 1868 a commodious stone school-house was built.
The only church in the place is the
Church of Holy Mary Help .- This mission was established by Bishop Henni in 1864, and is composed almost entirely of German families. It is a mission of the Cassville parish. The church, a sub- stantial stone building, was erected in 1864. Connected with the society is the Altar Society for Married Ladies.
THE YOUNG TRAGEDY.
On the 14th of May, 1875, one of the most shocking tragedies ever enacted in Grant County took place. Hon. Milas K. Young was deliberately murdered by his son, Albert D. Young, who then killed himself. The murder and suicide was the culmination of a long series of troubles in Mr. Young's family in regard to family property. Sev- eral weeks before the tragedy, Mr. Young and his son came to blows, and Albert struck his father in the face with an ax, inflicting a serious, and for a time, dangerous wound.
On the day of the murder Albert left his store in Glen Haven and

came to his father's house about half-past eleven. He inquired for his father and mother and was informed that they were in their respective rooms. He attempted to enter his father's room, but could not. He came down stairs, found his revolver, loaded it, and went out and sat down before the house about an hour, apparently waiting for his father to come out. Then he went again to the door of his father's room, and in his efforts to enter kicked loose the casing to which was attached the keeper of the lock. His father attempted to escape from the room by another door, but before he could do so he encountered Albert. Both drew their revolvers and began shooting. Several shots were exchanged, when Albert seized a hatchet and struck his father upon the head until the latter was apparently dead. Albert, who had been wounded by one of his father's shots, then left the house and ran as if attempting to escape. But he soon stopped, reloaded his revol- ver, and shot himself through the head, and died instantly.
Dr. Grinter was called to attend Mr. Young, but it was evident from the first that his wounds were mortal, and he died on the after- noon of the second day.
Captain Henry F. Young, County Coroner, summoned a jury, who, upon the inquest, found that Albert Young came to his death by means of a pistol shot from his own hands. The body was buried un- ceremoniously on the Young farm, being denied admission to the cemetery.
The funeral of M. K. Young took place at the Ray Cemetery under the auspices of the Patrons of Husbandry, of which he was a prom- nent member.
Albert D. Young worked for some time on the Grant County Herald, and afterward practiced law at Louisville, Kentucky. He was afterward in trade in company with his brothers. For some bus- iness frauds he was about to be prosecuted, either by his father, or with his father's refusal to do anything to avert the prosecution; but this was only one of a long series of family troubles.
Many years later there was a sad sequel to this tragedy. Of the farm of three hundred acres owned by M. K. Young, two hundred had been taken to pay debts mostly contracted by the sons. But with this remaining hundred acres the widow was unable to make a living, and applied to the town for aid. The chairman, John Ryan, acted as her agent, and made the farm yield a living for her and pay some dekt. But the widow still appeared to lead a tormented life, which finally

became unendurable, and on Monday, May 13, 1889, she put an end to her life by hanging herself.
THE JORDAN MURDER.
On the 15th of June, 1868, William Kidd murdered Catherine Jordan in the town of Glen Haven. They had been brought up on neighboring farms, and Kidd was apparently in love with Miss Jor- dan, and as she failed to reciprocate, he threatened to kill her unless she married him. On the afternoon of the murder he induced her to ride out with him. Nothing more was seen of her until her body was found near Mark Scott's farm, with her throat cut and bruises on her hands and arms, showing that she had struggled stoutly against her murderer. After the murder, Kidd drove the team to his father's stable, saddled a horse of his own, and rode to Boscobel, where he left the horse and disappeared.
The citizens of Glen Haven and Bloomington offered a reward of $550 for the capture of the murderer ; the county and state each added $500, and the citizens of Fennimore $250-$1,800 in all. Kidd was captured in Noble County, Minnesota, in October of the year of the murder, by James T. Delaware and Frank Winship. Delaware had formerly lived in Glen Haven and was an old acquaintance of Kidd's. While being brought back to the county Kidd killed himself by taking a dose of strychinne which he had concealed about him. He gave Del- aware a full account of his crime and alleged intolerable jealousy as the motive.
