notice OF the death Of Mrs. Ursula
Parker as one Of the old settlers OF
Hardin county. But your correspond

father, John Benson, having built the
first grist mill on the Iowa river. Be-
Ing an old settler myself, having come
to Hardin county in June. 1852 and
having lived here ever since, l think
I can speak from personal knowledge
concerning the mills in Hardin county
The first mill built on the Iowa river
was built in the fall Of 1858 or 1854 by
Louis Hadin and John Asher. 1t was
built up at the old town Of Hardin
City, north Of Steamboat: Rock. The
next mill built was one at Steamboat
Rock, built by a Mr.. Lathrop, and
about the same time there was one
tuilt BY G. NJ. Woodbury. at Zenia, now
Seecor- Subsequently John Benson
came here In the latter fitties and built
a saw mill at the present site OF the
Union mill, which after the death OF
the old gentleman and about the close
of the civil war his sons converted in
to grist mill Mr.. Asher Of the firm
Of Haden & Asher, while working out
in the timber, getting out mill tim
Der, froze one OF his feet and gangrene
set In. Hardin county at that time
had no doctors and the nearest doctor
was one Dr. Atwood Of Marietta, then
the county seat OF Marshall county.
He was called and amputated the foot
but by the time he had completed his
work Mr.. Asher died from the loss Of
blood--B. Fitzgerald. -

At the point Of his big gun he drove
Timothy and McQuaid to the rear OF
the store and locked them in the re-
frigerator, cursing all the while.
He walked quickly to the cash regis
ter behind the counter and took Sl06
from the drawer. Then, evidently up
on second thought he went back and
took S. and a bunch of keys from Tim
othy, after which he again locked
both men UP.
With the keys taken from Timothy.
the holdup man locked the back door
and went out the front one. locking
that behind him. Persons who saw
him leave the place sam him walk to
