The father of MarshalltoWn is dead,
and all Marshalltown mourns. Hon.
Henry Arson, founder of the town and
resident of the city since he built the
first log cabin here in 1851, passed
away Thanksgiving afternoon at 4:3O
o'clock at his home, SO2 South Third
avenue. He was taken i'll just week
ago today, and since his illness began
1t has been feared he could not sur
vive, altho possessed OF most rugged
constitution. The end came peacefully,
with the members of the family about
his bedside
Mr.. Anson's illness was brought
about a week ago by contracting a
severe cold a few days before. Thurs
day afternoon. while at his desk, he
was stricken with a congestive chill.
A carriage was summoned and he was
taken to his home. The next day
symptoms of pneumonia appeared,
and the following day were fully de-
veloped. Altho it was thought that
possibly his good constitution might
overcome the ravages of the disease,
his years told, on him, and Death con-
quered.
Career Was Most Interesting.
Mr. Arson had most interesting
and remarkable career, and in his
younger days was one of the foremost
citizens of Marshalltown. Attic he

did not seek public honors he was hon.
ored by the city that he founded by be-
ing elected to the highest office In the
gift Of the people. He was public spir-
tied to a marked degree, and there are
living monuments to Henry Anson's
memory that will stand with time. One
OF them is the school that bears his
name. The land for this building was
gift to the district by Mr.. Anson
about six years ago, who, in the gener-
osity of his heart. refused to accept the
land that had been useA Tor many
years on South Center street, which was
offered him by the board. The gift
was outright, and the district was al
lowed to realize on the sale Of the flrst
property known as the Arson school.
Another gift to the public was the
ground on which the fire station NO.
now stands Mr.. Arson gave this
to the city and the Arson hose COM
nany's house was built and named In
the donors honor.
Gives Entire Court House Square.
Mr.. Anson's largest gift, however.
and one that will result in perpetua-
ting his memory above all others, was
the solid block in the center OF the
CITY known as the court house square
where stands one of the most beautl-
full and imposing county buildings IN
the state. Mr.. Arson gave this land
to the county with the specific under
standing that it was to be used for
court house purposes Only. 1t will be
remembered that in recent years II
was suggested that other public build>
ines would show off to good advan-
tage on the same square, and that MI
Arson objected because he had made
the donation with the understanding
that only a court house was to be
erected On 1t.

founder of the town exercised
fathers care and interest in it's well
fare. In the early days, and for many
years. until his age became such that
he was replaced by younger and more
active men, he was one of the city S
leading and most influential citizens.
Mr.. Arson was born of sturdy York
State stock, and first saw the light OF
day April 10, 1926. He was born at
Canandaigua, Ontario county. New
York, April 10, 1926. In 1885 his par
ents emigrated to Erie county, Ohio,
and in that state, in 1S46, he was mar
ried to Miss Jannet Rice, daughter of
Sylvanus Rice, and sister OF Wells
Rice, both pioneer settlers and active
participants in the early struggles OF
MarshalltoWn.
In the spring of 1851 Mr.. Arson left
Trumbull county, Ohio with team of
horses for the then far-distant Iowa,
of which he had already heard most
favorable reports. In May he reach :
ed Bureau county. Illinois. where he
met his brothers n-law. Wells Rice,
and John A. Kelly, who had preced-
ed him the previous fall From this
point he started westward on horse
back The oldest settlers will remem-
Der the rainy season Of 1851 as having
been one of the worst springs in the
history of the new country. The
streams were all swollen and out of
their banks, and the only way of
crossing the Mississippi was BY rerry
at Davenport
Had His Eye on Marshall County.
Mr.. Arson had his eye on Marshall
county from the time he started on his
long journey westward. He figured
that the county, being central In the
state, that possibly some point that he
might select would, after becoming a
city, be selected as the capital of the
state. 1t was we'll understood at that
time that Iowa City, then the capital,
was only a temporary seat of justice.
In writing of his thoughts in a later
day, Mr. Arson said: "If the same eff
fort in time and money had been spent
during the period of the seven years
war over the county seat, MARSHALL
town would today be the capital of
Iowa"
Mr.. Arson finally touched the boun-
Diary line Of the county, via Latimer's
| Grove, near GrinneQ, and followed the

eminence near the creek he came
across historical fort, where settlers.
who had been before him, had taken
refuge from the Indians, who, were ev-
en- then living in Tama county. These
Indians, however. did not prove as
savage as they looked to the timid
white men, and when told that the
whites were preparing for threaten
ed attack by the Sioux, turned in and
helped them strengthen their fortified
lions.
Remaining a short time at the fort,
Mr. Arson continued on the trail west
to Campbell's Grove, where William
Asher had cracked the first corn rails
ed in central Iowa. Here he crossed
Linn creek and continued on the trail
down the stream to the Iowa river,
to point where the city of MARSHALL
town now stands.
He was impressed with the remark

and men of electrical knowledge were
telephoned, but none could suggest a
quick way around the difficulty until
by accident Mr.. w. G. Bowe was found
in the workshop of the Marshall Tele-
phone Company. Now Bowe is the
manager of Il telephone company be-
cause he knows the electrical business,
and he promptly said: Il can start your
motor" But "When?" was the anx-
ious query. In ten minutes" he said,
and he did.
With two pieces of wire four feet
long, he fastened chunks of lead to one
end of each, connecting the other ends
to the power wires. Then he set pail

best rheostat in the country were con-
trolling it.
The thing was all so simple and yet
so wonderful that 1t looked like magic,
but all there was to it was the "know
how" and after all that is what
makes laborers managers in the world
of business anyway.

for Main street, he found that William
Rails, who lived in the timber a half

for more than the law provided. Rather

Mr.. Arson went back to Illinois in mid
winter and there prevailed upon his
brother-in-la John A. Kelly, to ad-
vance him sufficient sum to pur-
chase the Rails land, also to join with
him in completing the town site sur

Superior, Wis, Aug. ls.-Work on
the Wisconsin Central line into Super
Tor is expected to start within ninety
days. While the road is building here
from L%adysmith, 1875 miles south, as the
Lake Superior & Southeastern, and
for ffty-two miles from Ladysmith to
Owen as the Owen & Northern, it is
known that the Wisconsin Central is
back of the proposition and that the
line is to give the Central a head-of-the-
lakes-Chicago route. It has been prac-
tically admitted by officials that it is
the Central that is coming to Superior.
Owen, to which point the line from
Ladysmith south is being built, is on
the Central main line.
Contractors are here today looking
over the proposed line with a view to
putting in bids on the work from Super
ior to Ladysmith.
It is expected the contract will be
awarded within a few days. Contractors
have been at work all season on the
ffty-two miles from Owen north and
they will have to get the work as far
along by spring las possible.
Practically the greater part Of the
land here for terminals, shons and
other purposes has been picked up. One
l60-acre track south Of Twenty-eighth
street is for the yards, shops, etc., and
it is expected that a large amount of
water front will be picked up. Super
ior people are watching the coming Of
tho road with great interest.
The new road is the first to come in
to the city in many years. Sixteen
years ago 5000, 900 tons of merchandise
passed thru the 500 canal each year,
Now generally over 5000, 900 tons of
merchandise pass thru the canal, each
month. Nothing is ever thought OF
this enormous traffic thru the 500, althc
the bulk Of 1t is handled here. With
this remarkable growth in the com
merce there has been no new railroa5
and it is considered somewhat remarka

It is expected that next year will see

the 500 will build up from Minneapoli!
