Felix G. Roden
Pioneer

NEW orleans was 1OughC Dy
General Andrew jackson and
his valorous troops, and his
own father being one of the
American soldiers engaged in
that memorable conflict, Felix
G. Roden of Missouri Valley
has seen a longer and more
varied experience than probab-
ly any other man in Iowa. He
is now 81 years old, and has
twenty living great grand
children. Twice in pioneer
days he walked the, long trail
from Arkansas to California.
He has made his home at diff
ferent times in six widely sep
arated states. During part of
the four years he spent in
western mines he sometimes
made as high as $500 in a
single day. In spite of his
years he is still possessed of
physical and mental vigor, and
his eye has lost little of its
keenness. He bids fair to live
out his years we'll past the
century mark. His age and
his remarkable history make
him one Of the distinguished
characters of Harrison county
and western Iowa. At the old
soldiers reunion held at Mag
nolia this summer, Mr.. Roden
took the prize offered for the
Oldest man on the grounds.
Felix Grundy Roden was
born in Jackson county, Tenn,
January 8, 1916, and resided
here until he was 8 years old,
when his family removed to
Hardlman county, western
Tennessee, where he lived UNI
til he was 20 years of age.
From Tennessee he removed to
Jacinto, Tishomingo county,
Miss, where he was married at
the age of %. He left Mississ-
ippi in 1841, and located with
his family in Missouri, where
he lived seven years, removing
from there to Van Buren, coun-
ty, Arkansas, and in 1859 went
to Sacramento, Cal, walking
all the way, and hiring a man
to haul his provisions.
In 1854 Mr.. Roden returned
to Arkansas where he bought
|several hundred head of cattle.
/ He again undertook the trip to
California, walking across the
plains as on his first trip. The
journey occupied about six
months. On the Humboldt river
a portion of the party with
which Roden was travelling
anxious to make better head
way, fastened ahead. A few
days later Roden and his party
came upon the dead bodies of
their companions, who had all
been massacred by Indians.
The remainder of the trip was,
however, made in safety.
After living in California
ten years, Roden went to Neva-
do, two years later, to Montana,
where he resided four years,
and then went back to Califor-
MIA, and remained there until
1891, when his son, w. T. Rod
en-, went there and broug hit
the aged father back to Iowa.
He has since made his HON e
with his son, moving with him
to Missouri in 1908, and return
ing to Iowa with him during
the present year.
Mr.. Roden has twenty living
great grand children. His
father was a participant in the
battle of New Ocleans, which
was fought on the day of Felix
Roden's birth.

able to gain. Mo. V. was kept
from scoring bp penalties after
having negotiated several for

patronage and we hope more

aroused.
