Recollections Of q Pioneer.

Editor Times Republican: 1t may
be interesting to some people now~in
Marshalltown to hear Of the earlier
days In your city. My mother. broth
ers, and sister were pioneers of Mar
shall county, coming to your town
from Iowa City, then the capital Of
Iowa, and crossing the Iowa river on
the only bridge from it's Source TO its
mouth.
1--WE landed in Marshall, as the town
was then called, Oct. %, 1855, and took
dinner with George Hilty, just east o.
the Marshall House, which was then
standing on the corner Of Main and
Center streets. D
"My brother and ! looked around
the town some and the first man of
any particular note we met, was one
old Johnny Green. who was dressed
in buckskin and had a red shawl
around his head and clay pipe stuck
in his mouth. The boys of this day
carry their pipes and tobacco IN their
hip pockets, but he did not, He lived
up the river between Marshall and
what is now called Albion, and think
some of his neighbors and friends
came to town with him on that day.
He was chief Of the Meskwaki Indiana.
He is dead now and Hes buried on
a high promontoryi on the banks Of
the Iowa river. not far from the pres-
ent soldiers lone. He can look, II

There were no houses to rent in
the town, and what houses We're there
We're fun even before they were fin
ished. The only sawmill in the town
then ran night and day to supply lum-
Der to finish the houses then occupied.
We found a cabin down in the woods,
north of the town, where my brother
and his wife lived in one room and the
rest Of the family lived in the other.
The rooms had no floor and 1t was
then late in the winter so that We
could NOT secure enough lumber to
make us a floor
North of Main and west Of Center

near the old Webster house to the
