Book Title: HISTORY OF BOONE COUNTY IOWA

CHAPTER XV 
YELL TOWNSHIP

   When Boone County was organized August 6, 1849, the north one-third of the
present Township of Yell was contained in Boone River Township, and the south
two-thirds were contained in Boone Township. This division continued until March
8, 1852, at which date Boone River Township passed from the map of Boone County
and Dodge and Yell Townships were organized in its stead. This division was made
by S. B. McCall, who had full legal authority to do so.

   The boundaries of Yell Township as laid out in 1852 show that it contained
all of the territory in its present boundaries except the south tier of
sections, all of the present Township of Pilot Mound, all of the present
Township of Grant and all of the present Township of Amaqua, except the south
tier of sections. This division continued until September, 1858, at which date
Pilot Mound Township was organized. This act cut off from Yell the territory now
contained in the Townships of Pilot Mound and Grant. This division of September,
1858, continued until 1871, at which date the township was reduced to its
present boundaries.

   The first election was held at Badger Point. The township was named in honor
of Archibald Yell, of Arkansas. He was the colonel of a regiment of Arkansas
cavalry, and was killed at the battle of Buena Vista, February 23, 1847, in a
charge of the Mexican lancers. He was buried on the battlefield, but his body
was later disinterred and buried at Fayettcville, the place of his residence. He
was the second governor of Arkansas, having been inaugurated November 5, 1840.

   Yell Township is bounded on the east by the Des Moines River, on the north by
Pilot Mound Township, on the west by Amaqua Township, and on the south by Marcy
Township.

   Among the names of the first settlers may be mentioned Solomon Smith, Lewis
Kinney, P. A. Dutell, Rollen Spurrier, David Hamilton, John Buffington, a Mr.
Crawford, Elisha Spickelmier, Esau Daily, A. M. Cline, William Cline, Jehu
Johnson, James Corbin, Henry Fisher, George Colwell, William Crooks, William
Hall and Andrew Johnson. These pioneers were the first settlers of the township.
Their names all appear on the assessor's book of 1853. William Hall was the
township assessor for the year 1853, which was the first assessment in the
township. He was five days assessing the township and two days attending the
County Court, for which he received $1.50 per day, being a total of $10.50.

   The pioneers of Yell Township endured the same hardships in common with the
other early settlers, and this they did with courage and heroism. They came to
secure and build up homes in a new country and they had figured upon the
difficulties to be encountered while doing so.

   Yell Township consists of all that part of township 84, range 27, situated
west of the Des Moines River. The eastern boundary is very irregular, being
governed by the windings of the river. The township is therefore a little less
than a full congressional township. That part of the township which is composed
of prairie land is very fertile and well adapted to farming. But that part of it
bordering on the river is very broken. In the early settlement this land was
covered with a heavy growth of timber. This has been nearly all cut off and
disposed of and many acres of this land is in a high state of cultivation. The
greater part of it, however, is now used for pasture, for which it is well
adapted. Generally speaking, the township is in a high state of cultivation. The
farmers are industrious and energetic, which is well attested to by the splendid
farms and beautiful homes they have built up. There is no home so substantial
and so inviting as a beautiful farm home.

   In 1867 steps were taken to organize an agricultural society for Boone
County. In October of that year a meeting was held in the courthouse at
Boonesboro, at which a committee of five persons in each of the townships of the
county were appointed, and to them was assigned the duty of organizing the
society. The members of the committee appointed for Veil Township were as
follows: James Spickelmier, G. W. Berry, Jacob Myers, Lewis Kinney and G. W. Cline.

   The first birth in Yell Township was that of Theodore Crawford. The first
death was that of a man named King. He was buried in what was afterward known as
the Spickelmier Cemetery. This was the death of an actual settler, but the first
death which occurred in Yell Township, and also in Boone County, was that of
Milton Lott, which was on December 18, 1846. He froze to death in an effort to
escape the Sioux Indians, who had raided his father's house at the mouth of
Boone River. His body was found near the center of section 13, township 84,
range 27, a few days later by his father, Henry Lott, and John Pea. A little
monument has been placed near where his body was found, by the Madrid Historical
Society. This was done December 18, 1905.

   There is no date at hand as to when the first schoolhouse in the township was
built, nor the date at which the first school was taught. But it will be safe to
conclude that these essentials were looked after and attended to by the pioneers
of Yell Township as soon as they were needed. The township now has six school
districts and six schoolhouses, outside of the district of Ogden. These
schoolhouses are all kept in good repair and each of them has eight months of
school every year. Competent teachers are employed and the schools are in a
prosperous condition. Among the early teachers in the township were Reuben
Parcell, V. B. Crooks, Joshua Corbin, M. T. Harlan, William Hall and Miss Mary
Williams.

   The first religious services in the township were held at Badger Point, in
the house of Solomon Smith, by Rev. William Sparks, of Marcy Township.

   The people of Yell Township have been quiet and law-abiding, but on two
occasions they took the law into their own hands and undertook to enforce it to
suit themselves. One of these occasions was in April, 1858. During the winter
and spring of that year many articles, such as corn, meat, chickens, log chains
and other things were missed and after looking the matter up for a while the
blame was centered on the Pardee family, consisting of John Pardee and his three
sons, Nat, Ben and Bart. The Pardees were notified to leave the country, but
they did not go, and whether by accident or purpose, all the Pardees occupied
the senior Pardee's house, which was a large, hewed log building that stood in
the east part of section 33, township 84, range 27. One morning the Pardees
found themselves besieged in their own house. If one of them exposed his person
he was fired upon. The siege lasted a day or so. There were four of the besieged
and twenty of the besiegers. Finding it impossible to dislodge the Pardees,
without using more drastic measures, and fearing they had means to continue
their resistance to the besiegers, they resolved to use a different method. They
loaded a wagon with hay and Joseph Masters, provided a firebrand, hid himself in
the hay, while two others, Washington Phipps and Peter Harshman, pushed the
wagon down the descent to the house. Just as Masters raised to throw the
firebrand on the house, a bullet from one of the guns within pierced his brain
and he fell dead. At the same time the men in the house shot under the wagon,
wounding Washington Phipps in the leg and lodging a bullet in Peter Harshman's
foot. This spread dismay among the besiegers. They had not intended to kill any
one nor intended that any of them should be killed. Their intention was to
intimidate the Pardees and drive them out of the country; and had the house
taken fire and the Pardees run out, they would not have been shot. But the
Pardees were in earnest and shot to kill. It was said the boy Bart shot Masters,
contrary to the wishes and orders of his father and older brothers. Under a flag
of truce the besiegers carried off the body of Masters, took care of the wounded
and withdrew from the field, leaving the Pardees masters of the situation. The
matter soon found its way into court. Warrants were issued and thirty residents
of Yell Township, at least half of whom were innocent, were arrested and brought
before County Judge McCall, acting as magistrate. The times grew so hot that the
judge dismissed the proceedings and advised all of the parties to go and sin no
more. But the grand jury indicted a good number of them and all were ultimately
fined. One of the men who took part in the siege said that it cost every one of
those indicted and tried seventy-five dollars.

   The night after the shooting of Masters, the Pardees abandoned the house they
were besieged in and the next morning it was burned. Some time alter this a man
named Miles Randall, a friend of the Pardees, was caught and unmercifully
whipped, but the parties who did the whipping were never found. Randall left the
country in a short time after the whipping and the Pardees sold out and did
likewise.

   During the notorious river land troubles, a man employed by the River Land
Company as log brander for the west side of the river, whose name was Farr, was
caught in the timber of Yell Township and terribly whipped. The men were all
masked, so that Farr could not identify any of them. After whipping Farr, the
masked men told him to leave the country and never return. He obeyed.

   Yell Township has two railroads. The Chicago ec Northwestern runs across the
south part of the township from east to west. The Minneapolis & St. Louis runs
through the west tier of sections of the township from north to south, the roads
forming a junction at Ogden, which is the only railroad station in the township.
Bluff Creek is the only stream in Yell Township of any importance and the only
one named on the map of the county.

   The coal shaft which was doing a good business in 1880, at Incline, in Yell
Township, has long since been abandoned. The vein has been worked out, the
machinery moved to other parts and nothing is left to mark the place but a large
mound of cinders and the brick and stone contained in the foundations of the
buildings which composed the Village of Incline.

   Incline was situated on section 23, township 84, range 27. Another shaft has
been sunk on the lands of the Boone Valley Coal & Railway Company, in section 3,
township 84, range 27, which is a new venture. The Town of Fraser is looking
anxiously toward the success of this venture.

   As near as can be ascertained, the following list is the number of men who
went from Yell Township as soldiers in the Civil war: J. W. Kurkendall, Bartley
N. Pardee, A. C. Ross, W. A. Spurrier, J. J. Spurrier, W. P. Berry, Reuben
Parcell, Barclay Benbow, W. C. Crooks, F. M. Spurrier, W. S. Berry, J. W. Cline,
B. N. Hickman, L. S. Hickman, W. C. Hickman, T. H. Spickelmier, R. S. Williams,
J. J. Moriarty, Jesse Fisher and John Buchanan. Considering the sparsely settled
condition of the township from 1861 to 1865, the above is a good showing.

   There is but one postoffice in Yell Township at the present time and this is
at Ogden. A country postoffice is no longer a necessity. Rural delivery and the
telephone have come in as a substitute. Rural delivery has given the country
people a daily mail, while the telephone has placed them in communication with
all the other parts of the county in which they live. This is a wonderful
contrast to the time when there was no telephone and mail was received but once
a week.

CENTERVILLE

   There have been three towns laid out in Yell Township. In 1855 James Corbin
and Henry Fisher laid out a town which they named Centerville. It is situated on
the west bank of the Des Moines River, in section 12, township 84, range 26. Mr.
Corbin and Mr. Fisher expected to see Centerville grow into a town of some
importance. A mill was in operation on the river when the town was laid out and
it was supposed this would help the town to put on a healthy growth. The after
the of years grew large enough to have two stores and a blacksmith shop. This
was during the time that the heavy body of timber near the village was being cut
off. The town only lasted about three years and then the break commenced. About
the same time the mill was washed away by a freshet of the river, which sealed
the doom of Centerville. A village of a half dozen houses is all there is left.

   In 1852 Lewis Kinney, who owned the mill at the site of Centerville, was
elected prosecuting attorney. In 1854 James Corbin, one of the proprietors of
Centerville, was elected to the same office to succeed Mr. Kinney. This was very
complimentary to Centerville and a very interesting item in its history.

DAILY CITY

   The town of Daily City was laid out July 26, 1855, by Jacob Daily. It was
situated on section 4, township 84, range 27, in Yell Township. Its proprietor
fondly hoped to see it prosper and thrive, but in this he was doomed to
disappointment. Daily City never materialized. It was never even a hamlet, nor
did it have a place upon any of the county maps.

    In the sketch of Dodge Township, mention is made that three companies of the
First Regiment of United States Dragoons on the march from Old Fort Des Monies
to Wabasha's Village camped within the present bounds of that township on the
night of June 21, 1835. According to the trail of the march and the dots of the
encampments as they appear on the map of Lt. Albert M. Lea, another encampment
was made on the return march upon the soil of Boone County. This encampment was
on Bluff Creek, in the present limits of Yell Township. On the return march the
Dragoons crossed the west fork of the Des Moines near the northwest corner of
Humboldt County and marched south on the west side of the river. The note in the
journal on the date of this encampment is as follows:

   "Thursday, August 6, 1835. Marched 25 miles. Encampment good; much game
killed by our men and  Indians."

   The map above referred to locates this encampment to be on Bluff Creek in
Yell Township. The Indians mentioned in the note of the journal were six Sac and
Fox Indians who belonged to Keokuk's Village, near the present Town of Agency,
in Wapello County. Among these was Frank Labasher, the half-breed interpreter
and guide. These Dragoons were the first white people to set foot upon the soil
of Yell township.

   Yell Township has been well remembered in the way of county offices which
have been bestowed upon her citizens. The record shows that the first county
office accorded to Yell Township was that of prosecuting attorney, held by Lewis
Kinney from 1852 to 1854; James Corbin, same office, from 1854 to 1856; Wesley
Williams, township supervisor, from 1861 to 1864; M. E. Cline, same office, from
1864 to 1866; T. P. Coin, same office, from 1866 to 1868; member of the Board of
Supervisors, Peter V. Farley, from 1876 to 1878; county auditor, L. L. Sawyer,
from 1874 to 1876. J. H. Eads held the office of clerk of the District Court two
terms; J. J. Snell also filled the same office two terms. Mr. Lorenzen was
elected treasurer of Boone County. He qualified and entered upon the discharge
of his duties but resigned at the end of six months. Mr. Clark and Mr. Howell
have each served as members of the Board of Supervisors.

   According to the census of 1910 the population of Yell Township, including
Ogden and a small part of Fraser, was 2,322. Deducting the population of Ogden,
which was 1,298, and of West Fraser, which was fifty, the population of the
township proper was 974.

   The present township officers are: Trustees, H. C. Heldt, Clinton McCaskey
and O. J. Wilcox; assessor, Lincoln McCaskey; clerk, D. Jones, Jr.; justice of
the peace, E. L. Merriam; constable, J. C. Piper.

OGDEN

   Ogden is the metropolis not only of Yell Township, but of the west half of
Boone County. It is the largest town and the most active commercial center
between Boone and Jefferson. In fact, there are few towns in Central Iowa better
equipped with territorial surroundings than Ogden. Its chances for putting on a
future growth are encouraging. The Town of Ogden is a product of the Chicago &
Northwestern Railroad. It was laid out by John I. Blair and the plat was
recorded June 6, 1866. About this time a dispute arose as to the title of a part
of the land on which Ogden was laid out, between the railroad company and E. C.
Litchfield, one of the beneficiaries of the old Des Moines Navigation and
Railroad Company. Mr. Litchfield came out victorious in the legal contest as to
the title of the land, and his agent, a Mr. Brown, resurveyed the town, together
with Brown Addition. This plat was dated May 6, 1870. The town is located on
sections 31 and 32, township 84, range 27. It was named in honor of W. B. Ogden,
a distinguished railroad man and capitalist. During the time of the litigation
the town did not make much progress, but since then its growth has been steady.

   The first residents of the town were William Patterson, John Regan and George
Stanley, who were railroad laborers. About this time Patterson and Stanley had a
quarrel and Patterson went to Ames; Stanley followed, the quarrel was renewed
and Stanley killed Patterson. Stanley was sentenced to a life term in the state
penitentiary, but has since died.

   In 1867 Dr. J. H. Noyes located in Ogden and commenced the practice of his
profession. With the exception of Dr. Grimmel, of Quincy, in Marcy Township, and
Dr. Mower, of Buffalo Grove, in Union Township, he was the first of his
profession to practice in the west half of Boone County. Dr. Noyes was the first
to engage in the drug business in Ogden. He sold his drug business in 1875 that
he might devote his entire time to his professional duties.

   A. W. Blumberg was among the first merchants of Ogden, but he failed in 1872
and moved to California. J. C. Soward was also among the early merchants of
Ogden. He and a partner opened a general store, but they soon failed and went to
Nebraska, seeking a new location. A firm by the name of Heath & Shaw succeeded
Soward & Company, and this in a short time also failed. This succession of
failures had rather a gloomy effect upon the progress of the town. So many
failures in so short a time made it appear that a business venture at that place
would be an unsafe thing.

   But the country around Ogden was settling up with industrious and energetic
farmers, which gave assurance of good business in the years to come, and it did
come. About the time of the failures above mentioned, Peter Rattray opened a
general store and by economical management and the increase of business he
became a prosperous merchant.

   The Town of Ogden was incorporated in May, 1878. The names of the town
officers were as follows: Mayor, Oscar Whitehead, who, after serving three
months, resigned and Dr. Noyes was elected as his successor; recorder, J.
Eversoll; treasurer, J. J. Snell; marshal, Charles Jewell; attorney, Earl
Billings; councilmen, N. Eads, T. H. Webster, Dr. Orson Clark and A. H. Mertz.

   The following year the officers elected were: Mayor, Dr. J. H. Noyes;
recorder, E. Evans; treasurer H. B. Wagers; assessor, James Sickler; marshal, L.
Jones; attorney, Earl Billings; councilmen, Benjamin Blanford, A. Green, Dr.
Orson Clark, J. J. Snell, J. H. Powers and Edward Amey.

   The following is a list of the business houses of Ogden in 1879 as given by
the Union Historical Society, which is of sufficient interest to include in this
sketch. Although the list may not be complete, it is believed it embraces the
more important places of business and that the list is accurate so far as it
extends. The list is as follows:

   The first hotel was called the Ogden House and was presided over by G. A.
Tobey; general merchants, Peter Rattray, H. Shryver & Atwood, Brice & Wagers,
Brammer & Lorenzen; drugs and medicines, J. S. Pitman, T. J. Goodykoontz;
millinery and dressmaking. Mrs. E. M. Jones, Miss E. A. Ratkie; hardware, Nelson
& Farley, O. L. Sturtevant; grain dealers, Sylvester Huntley and Osborne;
bankers, Sylvester Huntley and J. D. Gillett; blacksmiths, F. Emerson, T. J.
Finch, John Botdorf; photographer, C. Rhodes; wagon-makers, John Johnson, Olif
Oberg, James McElroy; shoemakers, A. Youngberg, C. J. Alum; hotels, L. A.
Caswell, Mrs. C. B. Stiles, James Lamb; physicians, Dr. J. H. Noyes, Dr. E. H.
Melott, Dr. D. Sickler, Dr. Orson Clark; newspaper and lawyer. Earl Billings;
flouring mill, John S. Lord; bakery and restaurant, C. L. Zollinger; jeweler, A.
C. Roberts; carpenters, W. C. Wells, F. Wilkins, G. C. Miller, J. S. Sperry, J.
Eversoll, I. Blake; livery stable, Allen & Nelson and C. W. Clark.

   There is no postoffice in Yell Township outside of Ogden. Prior to the time
Ogden was laid out there was a postoffice at the house of Wesley Williams, near
the central part of the township. It was later moved to Ogden. The first
postmaster at Ogden was William Lee.

   The first birth in Ogden was a child born to Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Bathrick.

   The first marriage was that of Charles Soward and Jennie Vancuren.

   The Ogden Reporter was the first newspaper issued in the Town of Ogden or in
the west half of Boone County. It was established June 4, 1874. The founder and
first editor of the Reporter was Edward Adams, a young man who was in the lumber
business at that place. He was a printer of some experience and becoming
convinced that Ogden needed a newspaper even in that early stage of its career,
sent for a press and commenced the publication of the Ogden Reporter. Mr. Adams
was not an experienced newspaper man, but he continued to edit the Reporter
until October of the same year, when he sold the press and paper to Earl
Billings and retired from the newspaper business. Mr. Billings was a bold,
defiant newspaper man, very complimentary at times and at other times very
abusive. But he had a long career as editor of the Reporter and made fast
friends and bitter enemies during the time. On October 4, 1904, Billings sold
the Reporter to Williams & Lund, who continued to give the people of Ogden a
good, live paper until February 1, 1914, when they sold the Reporter to W. D.
Miller, its present editor and proprietor. It will thus be seen that the
Reporter is now in its forty-first year.

   The Ogden Messenger was the second newspaper venture in Ogden. Its
publication commenced in 1890, its proprietors and editors being Thompson &
Weaver. They believed that the west side of the river needed another newspaper.
The Reporter had been in good, healthy condition for sixteen years, and as it
was republican in politics, the second newspaper should be democratic. At the
end of two years Mr. Weaver sold his interest in the Messenger to his partner,
Mr. Thompson, and became the foreman printer of the Boone Democrat. Mr. Thompson
continued to publish the Messenger until some time in the year 1908, when its
publication was discontinued and Mr. Thompson, its editor, retired from the
newspaper business.

   About the year 1909, Marshall Cooper started a paper called the Ogden
Democrat. Its career was short and in about six months its publication was
suspended.

   W. D. Miller, the present editor of the Reporter, is a gentleman of dignity
and ability and he will, without doubt, give the people of Ogden a good local
paper. He has been a citizen of Ogden twelve years. He came to Ogden as station
agent of the Milwaukee & St. Louis Railroad and continued in this place four
years. He then assisted in organizing the Farmers State Bank of Ogden, remaining
with it one year. He then acted as assistant postmaster one term and was acting
postmaster about six months during the year 1913.

   At the present time Ogden has five general stores, two grocery stores, two
drug stores, one milliner store, two clothing stores, one harness shop, two
lumberyards, two hardware stores, four grain dealers, two stock buyers and four
banks—the Farmers State Bank, the City State Bank, the Ogden State Bank and the
Farmers Security Bank. There are also four practicing physicians, as follows:
Drs. Mellotte, Noland, Ganoe and Clark. There is one flouring mill, three
bakeries and restaurants, two dentists, one jewelry store, two garages, one
livery barn, one hotel and one lawyer, in the person of B. F. Porter.

   Ogden has two school buildings, one being the high school building, the other
the graded school building. Both these are good structures and speak well for
the educational enterprise of the people of Ogden. The enrollment in the schools
exceeds four hundred. The school board employs thirteen teachers. There were ten
graduates at the close of the last term. J. R. Nevelen is the present
superintendent of the Ogden schools, and Miss Geneva Way is the principal. The
other teachers for the fall term of 1914 have not been elected. The schools are
in a prosperous condition.

   Ogden has seven church organizations and seven church buildings. There is a
Catholic, a Methodist Episcopal, a Free Methodist, Swedish Lutheran, Swedish
Mission, Congregational and German Lutheran. These all are said to have fair
sized congregations, and each has a Sunday school.

   Ogden Lodge No. 281, I. O. O. F., was organized May 2, 1874. The following
are the names of the charter members: R. U. Wheetock, Amos DeHaven, George G.
Miller, John M. Bellon, Ephraim Sayres. The order now has one hundred members.
The present officers are: John Christianson, N. G.; Arthur Stanburg, V. G.; C.
E. Beck, secretary; J. W. McCollum, treasurer.

   On the 3d of April, 1871, there was granted a dispensation to organize an
order of Free and Accepted Masons in Ogden by John Scott, then grand master of
the State of Iowa. This was granted upon the petition of James Sickler, Orson
Clark, Richard Temby, Cyrus K. Babb, David H. Randall, Fairfield Sylvester, Dr.
James H. Noyes, O. L. Sturtevant, A. W. Blumberg and C. B. Sylvester, who were
the charter members. The first regular communication was held April 21, 1871,
when the following officers were elected: James Sickler, W. M.; Orson Clark, S.
W.; Richard Temby, J. W.; O. L. Sturtevant, treasurer; D. H. Randall, secretary;
F. Sylvester, S. D.; Dr. James Noyes, J. D. The lodge under dispensation was
very prosperous and it continued to work until July 1, 1872, when it held its
first meeting under a charter from the grand lodge of Iowa, at which time they
read the name and number of Rhodes Lodge, No. 303. The lodge now has ninety
members. The present officers are: W. D. Miller, W. M.; Orson Clark, S. W.;
Charles Morgan, J. W.; S. P. Clark, treasurer; James H. Noyes, secretary.

   The names of the present officers of the Town of Ogden are as follows: Mayor,
D. Sickler; treasurer, W. D. Kruse; assessor, D. O. Clark; marshal, Fred Taylor;
attorney, B. F. Porter; councilmen, Henry Klepple, Henry Ehler, Charles Morgan,
William Bakley and Charles Erickson.

   There are several coal shafts near Ogden—three north of town and three south
of town. These mines employ 300 men. Some of them are not running now but they
expect to be in a short time. The coal is said to be of good quality and the
vein four feet thick.

   The Town of Ogden is putting on a healthy growth. The beautiful country that
surrounds it, with the aid of the coal mines near it, give assurance that Ogden
will grow into a city of considerable importance. Its outlook is good. According
to the census of 1910 the population of Ogden was 1,298. The census to be taken
next year will give it a much greater population than this, as the most of its
mining population has been added since the last census was taken.

   There is a Grand Army Post in Ogden, consisting of forty members. They have
regularly elected officers and hold regular meetings. The people of Ogden most
certainly have a high appreciation of this membership of the veterans of the
Civil war. There is no association of men more deserving of respect and honor
than they are.

[Transcriber's note: The first 5 chapters have to do with a brief and very
general history of Iowa, geology, and Native American sociology. These chapters
will not be transcribed.]
