Eleven patrons of the Gowrie Public Library
took a step back in time, as they enjoyed a presentation on the gangsters, Bonnie and Clyde. Rod Stanley, a
retired history teacher of thirty five years, delighted his
audience with a thrilling narrative style and numerous details of the infamous duo.

Stanley focused his talk on the crimes that took
place in Iowa although Bonnie and Clyde and their accomplices pursued a life of crime in other states as well.
Over the years, Stanley has granted 150 presentations
throughout Iowa, and its clear he has a genuine love of
the story. He explained that all the information he shares
was gained from eye-witness accounts.
Stanley admits he has faced criticism from some
who feel he is building them up, in other words, glorifying the lives of people who committed ghastly crimes,
including murder. However, Stanley assured his listeners
that Bonnie and Clyde truly were outlaws, and were responsible for the deaths of 13 people. However, he notes
that Dexter, Iowa, his city of birth, was the site of an historic shootout involving the pair, and this has remained a
staple of Dexter folklore to this day.
He explained there are several reasons why
Bonnie and Clyde have become such legendary figures
in history. First of all, they were quite young. Bonnie
was married at the tender age of 16, and even had a tattoo
on her upper leg which read, Ray and Bonnie Forever,
though Bonnie only lived with her first husband for three
months.

Ray was jailed, and Bonnie found her way into
Clydes arms even while still technically married to Ray.
Secondly, there may be a fascination with Bonnie, in particular, as she was an honor roll student and known for
writing beautiful poetry. Perhaps there is a desire to understand the downfall of such a promising student. Also,
their life of crime was intense, but fleeting. Bonnie and
Clyde were together from 1932 to 1934, and at their passing, reports of between 30,000 and 50,000 persons paying
respects to their caskets, was reported.
Throughout their pillaging in Iowa, Bonnie and
Clyde were part of the infamous Old Barrow Gang, and
they ran with two other young men and a young woman.
At age 23, Bonnie Parker stood just 4 8 and weighed
a mere 90 pounds. Her romantic interest, Clyde Barrell

was 57 an weighed 135 pounds. They were joined in

crime with Buck Barrell, a brother of Clydes and Bucks
wife, Blanche, a preachers daughter. Rounding out the
gang was W.D. Jones, a young man of only 17 years.
Jones hadnt initially wanted to join the gang, but felt
obliged as he was present when Clyde shot an officer
because he was advised by Clyde he was an accessory
to murder. Rod Stanley explained that there have been
different members of the Barrow Gang over the years,
but for this presentation, he wanted to focus on their life
of crime in Iowa.

Stanley is particularly intrigued by their exploits
both in Dexter, and an abandoned amusement park area
just north of Dexter. He says people still find artifacts of
one of their infamous shootouts including live ammunition and trinkets such as buttons from the era. Stanley
explained that in the 30s this was a thriving place of entertainment . It cost just 10 cents for admission9 cents
to get in, and 1 cent tax for a World War I re-payment
fund.

It was rumored that the swimming pool, which
was part of the amusement park and filled by a natural
spring, had medicinal powers. However, an interview
with a former patron of the pool revealed that swimmers
had to be careful when they got in, as the bottom of the
pool was perpetually covered with a layer of slime due
to the fact the pool never received proper maintenance
and cleaning. To add to the woes, the outhouses for the
pool were positioned upstream of the pool on a steep hill.
Despite this, those with arthritic knees and other maladies
swore by the healing powers of the pool.

The gangs entry into Iowa was precipitated by a
shooting in Platte City, Missouri at the Red Crown Motel.
The motel manager became suspicious when he observed
the gang had covered their rooms windows with newspapers. He called the police, and they arrived on the scene
accompanied by an armored car. Regardless, Clyde shot
out the window and hit the armored car driver in each
leg. The driver, desiring to escape gunfire drove away
from the motel door, and this gave the gang the chance to
get away, though not without serious injury. Also, their
getaway car was riddled with bullets, but Clyde camouflaged the damage by filling the bullet holes with mud.

Pauline Johnson and Paulette Carlson presented
an interesting program about stained glass during the September 6 Kensington club meeting.

Kensington Club Met

Tuesday, Sept 6
Stained Glass Topic ...

The ladies of Kensington club met on Tuesday,
September 6 at Mulligans for lunch and a meeting.

Pauline Johnson and Paulette Carlson presented
an interesting program about stained glass.

Paulette talked about classes she had taken to
learn the art of creating stain glass. She showed us several
types of glass and how the glass pieces are cut.
She brought a beautiful lamp she had made and shared a
scrapbook of many of the projects she has completed.

She created this lily window and gave it to Zion
Lutheran Church in memory of her father. They then
viewed the beautiful stained glass windows of the sanctuary at Zion church.

The church was built in 1931 and the windows
were believed to have come from either Germany or Austria.

Paulette then explained the story that each window portrays all around the sanctuary.

The windows are an exceptional example of the
stain glass colors and craftmanship, and so meaningful
because of the beautiful story that they tell.

They ended our afternoon with dessert and coffee at Zion.

Bonnie and Clyde...

continued from page 2...

One phone call prompts me

to attend 50th class reunion. . .

In May or early June I received a letter from my
high school graduating class inviting me to our 50th High
School class reunion in Ladysmith, Wisconsin.

Yes, it had indeed been 50 years and in some
ways it seems like yesterday. I put the return card on my
refrigerator, filed the paperwork to fill out in file folder X,
and just put it out of my mind.

And then a few weeks ago Terry Wedwick from
my class of 1966 called me. He wanted to know about my
intentions. Would I be coming?

It was nice to know that someone actually cared.
It was good to hear his voice. I started asking questions
and I soon discovered that Terry knew everything about
everyone in our class. Wow, he was an encyclopedia (remember that word?) of information.

I listened and talked with Terry for about 90 minutes. It was incredibly good to hear about so many of my
former classmates. And yes, I will definitely be coming to
the reunion I told Terry. He e-mailed me the forms again
(I couldnt find folder X), I completed the information the
next day, made out the check for two, and had Mary Ann
mail it for me.

Terry had some heartwarming stories about so
many people. I vowed that night that I would want to sit
next to him at the reunion and e-mailed him a letter of
thanks for updating me on so many people.

Terry had been a teacher in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and slightly more than 10 years ago he retired a little
early to return to the family farm in Ladysmith and be a
caregiver/helper for his mother.

His mother was 95 and each day Terry and his
mom walked together for two miles. They had a special
bond and in June of this year his mom passed away. She
was still living at home and she was 105 years old and
seven months. She lived at home until the day she died.

There were an even 100 students in my graduation class. Terry stated that 21 had already died and he
recited their names to me.

Judy (Messerschmidt) Roegge was a very softspoken member of our class. The daughter of a Lutheran
minister, Judy was sweet, kind, and very pleasant to everyone. In life she was married, had a family, volunteered
to help people, was an organist at church. She became
very ill. Her son was getting married in late June of this
year. He canceled the date and was married in his mothers bedroom in early June. Two weeks later Judy died.
As Terry related the story to me I could sense him wince
towards the end of that story.

Two other class members died this past year and
several other class members are seriously ill. Shortly after
graduation I purchased a 1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible from classmate Dan Turner who is now deceased.

I did ask Terry about Randy Reid. He isnt
coming, said Terry. I wasnt close to any person in my
high school class through school but I did have good
memories about Randy.

In grade school I did some fishing with Randy on
the Flambeau River. In Little League baseball we were
on the same team. I batted number three and he was the
cleanup hitter. His family moved to a home across the
highway from our home in Ladysmith. We both had horses (in late elementary and through junior high years) and
we would ride our horses together in fields in back of his
home. I didnt think about it then but Randy was really a
special friend.

And then in high school everything changed.
Randy started going steady with classmate Shirley Dietrich and he was in a different world. In a subtle way I
was excluded from his life.

After graduation there were eight of us (including Randy) attending River Falls State University (now
UW-River Falls). Randy had been an honor student in
high school and he was at River Falls for less than an year,
leaving early to reunite with Shirley. They got married
and several years after that they divorced. Randy remarried and he has nine children and nine grandchildren. I
hope I see Randy at some point, maybe at the next reunion.

I liked everyone in my class but I didnt have
close bonds with any one person. But having that one
phone call from Terry Wedwick induced me to attend
my class reunion and I will always remember Terry for
making that phone call. And Terry was calling everyone,
some four or five times. Our class is indeed fortunate to
have Terry who lived his life on the telephone for several
weeks calling his classmates.

Next week: Driving back to Ladysmith Wisconsin.

Buck Barrow suffered a massive head wound,
and Stanley explained even his brain was visible through
his skull fracture. Blanche was injured in a hail of breaking glass, and a large piece of glass could not be extracted
from her eye. From this point, she required an eye patch.
The gang traveled up highway 169, eventually passing
through Mount Ayr.

The gang is credited for making successful getaways for several reasons. Most importantly, Clyde was
a good driver who could spot great cars to steal. He particularly loved Fords, as the models were quite fast due
to V8 engines. He could reach speeds up to 85 mph, as
compared to patrol cars that could only reach speeds of
60 mph or so. Additionally, the gang was known to break
into National Guard armories and steel weapons. They
were described as being armed to the teeth, and this
was another reason the gang was so successful at eluding
capture.

Stanley focused much of his presentation on
the exploits of the gang as they hid out in the abandoned
amusement park north of Dexter. He said it was rumored
that Clyde must have been to the camping area previously
as it is set back in timber about a half a mile off the highway. The gang settled here on July 19th or 20th of 1933,
and remained for the next four days.

They loved coming to Iowa, explained Stanley. Iowa was like a second home, except that people
didnt know who they were, and they could come and go
as they pleased. Clyde frequented a restaurant in town,
taking out exquisite meals on real plates with real silverware. It was rumored he must have been a wealthy man
as he always pulled out a big wad of bills. He was also
known to purchase 50 pound blocks of ice in town. He
brought the ice back to the campground hideout so Buck
could use ice to reduce the swelling of his head wound.
It was said they also attempted to purchase morphine,
but the local pharmacist became suspicious when Clyde
couldnt produce his veterinary license, so Buck made do
with the aspirin and bandages Clyde was able to secure.
Additionally, the gang would pour hydrogen peroxide on
the open wound. Doctors who were interviewed after the
gangs capture reported the wound was pretty clean as
wounds go.

Clyde did have a brush with the law during his
time in Dexter. In a mens clothing store, he was waited
on by a man named John Love who was actually the town
constable. Clyde insisted on Arrow shirts, the most expensive in the store at a cost of $1.25 per shirt. He also
purchased pants, belt, and shoes, but when Love turned to
wrap up his purchase, he caught sight of Loves gun and
badge. Clyde made an impromptu excuse and left, with
haste, from the store.

So, if they were so great at eluding capture,
how did they get caught? Stanley asked his intrigued
audience.

He explained it was the litter of bloodied gauze
bandages as reported by Henry Nye, who stumbled onto
the campsite while picking blackberries. He called John
Love, though Love reported this infamous campsite was
outside of his jurisdiction which was only 1 mile from
the town limits of Dexter. Additionally a girl scout troop
encountered the band of criminals while taking a morning
hike. Maxine Hadley, the last surviving person to have
spoken to the infamous gang when she was 14 years of
age, is now 97 years old.

Gmorning, folks. How ya doing? is what
she recalled the startled gang saying.

Hadley says she didnt think anything of it until
she saw the young pair enjoying refreshments in town.
She cant recall whether it was popcorn or ice cream, but
she does remember the young man leaning against the
car bumper enjoying a treat while the girl waited emptyhanded in the passenger seat.

I remember thinking how rude that was that he
didnt share with the girl, recalled Hadley.

As suspicions about the campers grew, Sherriff Knee formed a group of men from as far away as
Oskaloosa to confront the Barrow Gang. They made
plans at Webbs Lunch Stand in Dexter, and eventually,
as word spread, the impromptu militia grew to 75-100

men. However, their stand against the gang was to be

short lived as they were confronted by a spray of bullets as they went to investigate. In the melee, entire tree
branches were knocked to the ground, and one of these is
on display at the museum in Dexter. The Barrow Gang
escaped capture, but not without serious injuryboth
Bonnie and Clyde were each shot three times, and Buck
and W.D. Jones were each shot once. Blanche was the
only one not injured.

Though Buck and Blanche were eventually captured, the rest of the Barrow Gang kept running. Eventually they came up a family farm. They encountered a
teenager by the name of Marvell Feller the next morning around 6:15. Marvell, accompanied by his father
and uncle, was heading toward pasture to summon cows
for milking. To their surprise, they encountered Clyde,
whom they describe as a short man, all bloodied and
muddied. He held a gun to Marvells forehead and said,
The law are shooting our heads off. Do you have a car?
To which Marvell responded, Well, we have three, but
only one runs. Clyde took humor at this response, but his
temper quickened as Marvells dad nearly dropped Bonnie as he was attempting to lift her over a fence. Adding
to his impatience was the sight of Marvells mother and
young sister arriving on the scene as well.

Marvell recalls Clyde profusely apologizing as
he, and W.D. and Bonnie piled into Marvells newly purchased 1929 Plymouth. Marvell recalls seeing a gun lying beside the gang on the car seat, and wonders to this
day, what wouldve happened if hed attempted to attack
the gang. However, he notes that most likely his family
would have been killed. Clyde promised to return to favor to the Marvell family someday, saying perhaps hed
mail something to the family, but to this day, Marvell reports hes never received anything by mail.

In closing, Stanley explained the story of Bonnie and Clyde is a fascinating story, not just due to the
gangs notoriety, but also because a gun fight took place
in his own home town. Although they were hardened
criminals, the wave of crime is an important part of the
history of northwest Iowa. He thanked those in attendance and welcomed questions from those who flocked
around his table to examine photographs.

Library.

Where has the summer gone? And Autumn

is even worse half of September is already gone. We
seem to get busier every week, almost every day. One
thing that can get us through this busy time is prayer. For
a minute lets look at the letters of the word prayer and
see if we can find some answers there. The letter P
Plan plan your schedule carefully and dont be afraid to
say no when someone asks you to do something. You
dont have to do everything! The letter R Rest get
plenty of rest. It keeps our bodies healthy Even God set
aside one day for rest. The letter A Affirm if you see
someone doing something good, tell them about it and affirm that they are doing a good job. The letter Y Youth
spend time with your children and grandchildren. Their
exuberance is contagious. The letter E Expect look
for gifts from God. The gifts may not wrapped in fancy
paper, but they will be here for our God is a generous
God. Dont forget to thank Him for your gifts. Finally
the letter the letter R Rejoice In Philippians 4:4 Paul
tells us always be full of joy in the Lord. Compare
your ?

Prayer: Lord, help us to enjoy this time in
which we plan our daily chores. Help us to put aside the
worldly things and concentrate instead on You. In Jesus
Holy Name, Amen.

I'll eat your spinach for a nickle ....

School is in full swing now and students, teachers
and employees should be well oriented into schedules and
activities. I say should be. For first timers at their particular building it may take a bit longer but they seem to learn
fast.

Times and opportunities within schools have really changed since my day but yet some remain the same.
One thing that the schools and parents have to plan for in
addition to clothing, supplies, getting them there, etc. is
lunches. Do they take them or do they partake of the school
prepared ones? My many years ago I had little choice but
to take a lunch that Mom had prepared for me. There were
no hot lunch programs and I lived on a farm or at the edge
of town so home lunch was not an option. Now that I think
of it, moms had to be pretty clever to come up with nutritious, satisfying, interesting offerings five days a week for
around nine months.

Since there was no refrigeration those meals had
to be ones that didnt invite the wrong things to grow in
them. What did we have in our sandwiches or other offerings? Of course there was always peanut butter but that got
boring. I wasnt much of a jam/jelly person and never cared
for it combined with my peanut butter but some veggies
okay, like ground carrots. Cheese was another alternative
and sometimes instead of a sandwich a stack of crackers
appeared with it in the wax paper wrappers. I remember
tasting dried beef for the first time in a mom prepared lunch.
It didnt spoil and Big Jack Condon always had it in bulk
in his butcher shop. Apples and bananas did well in those
lunches and if you wanted to bother with a small jar with
a tight lid, other fruit wasnt so bad either. Our preference
was always the homemade baked items. Moms big sugar
cookie folded in half with a special raisin sauce filling was
great.

It was around my last year of high school that the
lunch program came into being. If I recall correctly they
cost about fifteen cents a day and yes, apparently had a lot
of government commodities. The one thing I remember
having was something I really didnt like and pawned off
on someone who did. That was carrot salad. It consisted
of ground or shredded carrots, some kind of mayo or other dressing and the salad spoiler raisins! Who came up
with that one? I like carrots and I like raisins but raisins
dont belong in my veggie salads with the exception of that
good broccoli salad which I am no longer allowed in any
quantity. But we survived and life went on and continues
through over the years reports from children, grandchildren
and great grandchildren about their non-appetite appeal and
hearing how much lunchroom garbage is collected here in
our Des Moines Schools.

But, I have to give the government and school
people kudos for efforts to battle the widespread hunger
that is in urban areas especially. We have sixty one schools
in Des Moines. In thirty five of them the total student body
qualifies for school lunches. Yes, every student gets free
lunch and many offer a light breakfast program. During summer there is even a lunch program at some of the
schools if they can get to them. In those thirty five schools
there are no tickets, no questions, all get to go to lunch. In
the other schools there are quite a few who qualify and get
their tickets free. At least one of my great granddaughters,
even if she would qualify, would still opt for lunch from
home. She says the snack packs with crackers, cheese,
etc. and goodies and fruit are much better. I remember get-

ting reports those grade school years ago that my son number two offered to eat spinach and broccoli and things like
that for other kids so they could leave the table but only
if they gave him a nickel. He learned to eat such things at
home.

A few times I have seen on the internet a report
of a cook, knowing food was being wasted anyway, trying to sneak at least some sort of morsel to a child who
had no ticket, at least for that day or for many days. The
employee and child both were disciplined. These reports
have not been from Iowa and Id hope not. My church has
for several years adopted one of the schools and before
school starts we have a special drive for various supplies
or money with which to buy them so that all children will
have the proper tools needed for their studies. All year
long we provide peanut butter and jelly to be put in Friday back packs for some families to assure some sustenance over the weekend. We also may get a request from
a teacher or an administrator for some funds to help get a
child some shoes or a coat or other items.

Looking back on those years at Boxholm Consolidated I think most of us had it pretty good. We had good
times with those brown bags and gathering in the music
room for lunch, trading goodies. Things always looked
better in someone elses bag or it was just nice to have a
different pastry from someone elses mother. My Moms
big dill pickles werent bad for trading either. Do you
remember your good old school lunch days?

Southeast Valley prevails over Red Oak;

Jags come from behind to win big game

Coach Swieter had good reason for gamble. . .

By Glenn Schreiber

The Southeast Valley Jaguars escaped with a
34-31 victory over Red Oak at Homecoming in Gowrie.

The Jaguars led 14-10 at the half and then increased their lead to 20-10 at the end of three. But Red
Oak kept coming back and took a few leads . But the Jags
came back to finally win at the end.

They say a win is a win and we will take it but
the coaches and players were not happy how we all performed, said coach Mike Swieter. This was a very ugly
game for the Jags who feel behind in the final minutes but
came back for the win.
Balanced offense
for SV Jaguars

The Jags did have a balanced offense for the
game, which has been lacking a bit this year.

Fullback Aaron Swieter rushed 14 times for 67
for two touchdowns yards and Kaleb Jondle ran 15 times
for 128 yards and one touchdown.

The passing was about equally as productive as
Dakota Jaeschke had four catches for 120 yards and Kaleb Jondle caught two passes for 39 yards. Nolan Johnson also had two receptions for 23 yards.
Jags rebound, but
Red Oak doesnt quit

After SV had 14-10 halftime lead, the Jags
stopped Red Oak cold twice. Then SV got its running
game going.

Swieter ran five times for 15 yards and then Dakota Jaeschke caught a 37 yard catch. Swieter concluded
the drive with a 10 yard run.

Things were looking good, said coach Swieter
as the Jags took a 20-10 lead at the end of three.

Red Oak then mounted an eight play drive concluded by a 24 yard TD run. The extra point was good.
Then Red Oak has a 14 play drive for another touchdown
and takes the lead 23-20.
Jags fight back

Kaleb Jondle had runs of 3, 4, nine and 13 followed by a 27 yard touchdown run. The Jags missed the
two point conversion but led 26-23.

The Jags scored another touchdown on a Swieter touchdown run. Jaeschke caught the two point conversion and SV had 34-23 lead. At that point the game
was over and the Jags had fought back well, said coach

Coach Swieter isnt

happy about turnovers,
mistakes by Jaguars
Major improvements
needed says Coach. . .

Coach Mike Swieter thanked everyone who
came back for the SV Homecoming game. This is not
the performance we wanted to put on but we will take the
win any day, said Swieter.

We will take this win but we have major things
to improve. Our coaches are not happy with kids making
simple mistakes after mistakes. The boys need to carry
things over from practices to the games, affirmed Swieter.

We are hurting ourselves with the little things
we can fix. We also cant have four turnovers, drop passes, bad tackling and expect to win any more games. We
need to rebound fast and play like we did the week before.

Swieter.

Red Oak then fumbled the ball back with less
than 1:30 on the clock.
Coach Swieter regrets decision,
but he did have a good reason

This is the 1:30 Coach Swieter wishes he had
back. I know everyone is wandering what the heck I was
thinking by coming out and throwing the ball instead of
running out the clock, said Swieter.

The reason behind this is the state of Iowa has
a 17 point rule. If you win by 17 or more points it helps
you down the road for the playoffs.

Coach Swieter missed the playoffs by points
when he was at Lakeland and said he never wanted that
to happen again so I got aggressive and gambled.

Swieter said he 100% admits wrong in his
choice and I wish we could have that play over. Sometimes it is just better to take the win and not gamble like
we did.

Red Oak intercepted the ball and brought it back
to the 20 yard line. Coach Swieter said the next minute
was the longest of his life. All I could think was how
could I take the chance of them losing this game?

Of course Red Oak scored and makes the two
point conversion to make it a three point game (34-31)
and to make matters worse the Jags picked up a personal
foul and Red Oak get to kick the onside on our 45 yard
line.

They kicked it to the one guy they should not
have. Dakota Jaeschke picked it up and we won the
game. I made sure to thank Dakota for saving me from
having regret for the rest of his life.

Coach Swieter says everyone makes mistakes
and yep I admit this was one of mine and I am just glad
to still get the win.
Defensive stats

Kyler Jondle led in defensive stats with 14 solo
tackles and eight assisted tackles from his linebacker position. Alex Pliner had eight assisted tackles and three
solo tackles to rank second in that category. And Aaron
Swieter had seven assisted tackles and three solo tackles.
Jags start slow
but start scoring

The Jags scored in the first quarter with Kaleb
Jondle running for 39 which set up a 17 yard touchdown
pass from Nolan Brand to Dakota Jaeschke.

Red Oak bounced back to score a touchdown
and then a field goal to take a 10-6 lead.

After the Jaguars fumbled for a second time and
then Red Oak converting on field goal coach Swieter
wasnt happy. Things were falling apart and we did not
know what to do, he said.

With about one minute before half Nolan Brand
hit Dakota Jaeschke for a 63 yard touchdown pass.. Nolan Johnson ran in the 2 point conversion.

Iowa Farm Bureau

offers to defend farmers
in Water works lawsuit

The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation (IFBF) and
the Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA) have offered
to underwrite the legal costs for the defense of the drainage districts targeted in the Des Moines Water Works
(DMWW) lawsuit so the northwest Iowa drainage districts, farmers and rural citizens can focus on defending
the lawsuit without the impossible task of covering the
cost of a multi-million-dollar lawsuit.

The offer was extended to the supervisors in
Buena Vista, Calhoun and Sac counties last week, since
the supervisors act as trustees for the 10 drainage districts
being targeted by DMWWs lawsuit.

Protecting farmers is really core to our mission
at Farm Bureau, IFBF President Craig Hill says. With
one in five jobs directly tied to agriculture, rural Iowa
has much at stake. If DMWW prevails in its lawsuit, it
has the potential to adversely impact every Iowa farmer
and farmers throughout the United States. We believe its
essential for the future of Iowa agriculture and our rural
communities for us to do what it takes to ensure the lawsuit is appropriately defended with adequate resources.

A few months ago supervisors in the targeted
counties ended their relationship with the Agricultural
Legal Defense fund, which left drainage districts without
sufficient resources to defend against the urban lawsuit.
Drainage districts do not have ratepayers or general taxing authority with which to raise funds for these types of
expenses. To date, litigation costs for both sides combined have exceeded $2 million in the lawsuit.

The DMWWs suit has garnered national attention, since it seeks to effectively change the Clean Water
Act, forcing regulations and potential penalties on farmers; such action would put roadblocks on farmers efforts
to continue trying new, innovative conservation practices
to improve water quality.

Iowa farmers are taking on the challenge of improving water quality. But, they also know this challenge
is bigger than just farmers, Hill says. Its why we support the collaborative, research-based Iowa Water Quality Initiative so that farmers can adopt proven methods
that work best for their farms. The lawsuit only serves to
delay that progress.

The trial for the lawsuit is currently scheduled to
be held in June of 2017.

Webster Township, close to Dayton

Old Indian burying ground...

In Webster Township, close to Dayton is an old Indian burying ground, which was taken over by the earliest
pioneers and it is now known as Vegors Cemetery.

Benjamin Bell (1751-1853) is buried here. He
was a Revolutionary War soldier who served under General
George Washington.

Also nearby is a Memorial shaft to the first pioneer
woman to die in what is now the county of Webster. The
name inscribed on the tombstone is Lott and the date is 1849.
The shaft was dedicated in September 1911.

Mrs. Huntington Lott died of exposure following
the Indian raid by Chief, Two-Fingers Sidominadota, a Siseton Sioux. The date of this raid has been a point of contention
among historians for over a century. It is believed Mrs. Lott
moved out of the house to escape the Indian raid that winter.

This is the Grave of Benjamin Bell who fought
with George Washington in the Revolutionary War.

In retreat from the raiders a Lott son, 12 year old
Milton died trying to reach the settlement in Boone County.
The date on his grave N. W. of Boone being December of
1846.

His burial was described by an able local historian,
C. L. Lucas, who was present when the grave was marked
along with some of the old pioneers who had assisted in the
burial.

Lott was the first settler in Webster County, across
the county line in Hamilton County, a stones throw away,
according to the account by Sarah Brewer Bonebright who
with her daughter, recorded the story of the raid as told by the
Lott neighbor, Minister Brassfield.

According to the census taken in the fall of 1850
in longhand by a federal Marshall shows Francis McQuire,
50, and his son-in-law Henry Lott, 42. Also recorded are the
children of Mary and Jemina Lott; Henrietta, one year, and
Lauretta, five months. Their son, John (John Lott White) had
not yet been born.

Henry Lott and Jemina McQuire were married in
Des Moines probably in late 1847 or 1848. Tax records in
Dallas County in 1848 show Henry Lott as the largest owner
of livestock in that area.

In 1847 a landlord of Lotts in Dallas County purchased a side of beef which the purchaser said contained an
arrowhead which Lott said was from the Indian Raid.

Following the Indian raid in rural Dayton in Lotts
absence, Brassfield with the desperately ill Mrs. Lott started
for Ridgeport. (Mineral Ridge) to the doctor (probably Dr.
Lewis or Dr. Lucius Fitch). However, the unfortunate woman died and was buried along the trail.

Returning later with the bereaved widower, Henry
Lott, who swore eternal vengeance against the perpetrators
of the raid. Mrs. Bonebright in her version of the Brassfield
story insists that if Mrs. Huntington Lott is buried in the Vegors Cemetery it has to be a re-burial.

The earliest member of the Vegors family to come
to the area was Henry Vegors. He came on the return from
his trip to the gold fields as a 49er. The earliest date was
1850. Members of that family insist that the first burial after
a current death was Benjamin Bell in 1853.

Consensus to approve agenda.

Total revenues for August $160,711.82. Total expenses for August
$119,688.41.

In old business the bill for the new fire station was discussed. The
City has agreed to pay the bill in the Charter Agreement between the Fire
Board and City. Carpenter moved to continue to reimburse the City for the
fire station bill, second Rittgers. Carried-all ayes.

Chuck has contacted two engineers about the electrical system but
so far neither has been here to look things over and give a bid.

Still no bids for the water plant sidingtabled.

Still no bids for the well house rooftabled.

The water department has been checking sump pumps as they put in
new water meters. A list of homes that have the sump pumps connected
to the sanitary sewer is being kept. The Ordinance does not address a
monetary value to charge violators with. The Board would like to have
the ordinance updated giving a resident 60 days to fix the problem, then
penalized $100 per day for every day after 60 days until it has been
re-inspected by the Public Works Director or someone from the water
department. It is the hope of the board that homeowners will comply.
This changing of the Ordinance itself will have to be addressed by the city
council.

Rittgers moved to approve a wage adjustment for Chuck in the
amount of $2611.54, second Carpenter. Carried-all ayes.

Motion by Rittgers to adjourn, second Carpenter. Meeting adjourned
8:20 PM.

Next regular meeting to be held October 10, 2016, 7 PM at the utilities
building.
