CHAPTER XXIX SCHOOLS AND RATTLESNAKES The schools of this county were at first conducted on the old subscription plan, says W. S. Wilkinson, in a paper on the pioneer schools, read before the Historical Society, in 1905. Some one would go around the district with a subscription paper and the head of each family would subscribe so many scholars for the term at the price stated in the paper. If they secured a sufficient number of pupils the teacher was hired and the school went on. If not, the effort was a failure. Many a subscription paper has gone by default by not securing the required number. The wages paid were about ten dollars a month and the teacher boarded 'round among the scholars, boarding a week at one home, and the next week at another. Girls frequently taught for as low as eight dollars a month. Money was scarce then and the teacher sometimes had to take part of his wages in trade. The schools of the early days were of two kinds. There was the "loud school," and the "silent school." The silent school was where the pupils prepared their lessons silently, as at the present time, and the loud school was where they prepared their lessons in a loud voice all at the same time in school. Both the loud and silent plan had their advocates. In the loud school one scholar would be preparing his spelling lesson: B-a-k-e-r--baker; s-h-a-d-y-- shady; 1-a-d-y--lady; t-i-d-y--tidy; another his reading lesson: "The boy stood on the burning deck, whence all but him had fled," and another: "Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as cotton and everywhere that Mary went, the lamb would go a trottin'." I think those were not the words in the book, but something like. They would all be reading their lessons over in a loud voice at the same...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Madison County, Iowa, and Its People, Vol. 2: Illustrated On the 24th of July, 1872, 'mr. Danforth was united in marriage to Miss Lida Sturman, who was born in Clay county, Missouri, March 19, 1845, a daughter of John B. And Margaret (wamsley) Sturman, both of whom were natives of Ohio, where they were reared and married. They went to Missouri about 1843 or 1844 and the father there followed the occupation of farming. In 1848 he brought his family to this county, settling on North river among the pioneer residents of this part of the state. He assisted in laying out the town of Winter set and was otherwise connected with the important events which have left their impress upon the history of the city and county. About 1863 he left the farm and removed to Winterset, where he engaged in the drug business for two or three years. He then embarked in the hardware trade, in which he continued for several years, after which he retired, having won a substantial measure of success that enabled him to enjoy throughout his remaining days not only the comforts but also many of the luxuries of life. He was born November 17, 1813, and passed away on the 24th of December, 1890. He held membership in the Methodist Episcopal church and guided his life according to its teachings. His wife, who was born March 18, 1825, passed away in the faith of the Methodist church, of which she also had been a most loyal member. In their family were eight children: Lida; Mrs. Cecilia Osborn, of Kansas; James V., living in Cameron, Missouri; Sabina, whose home is in Seattle, Washington; Benjamin N., a resident of Arkansas; Marion, living in Perry, Iowa; Thomas, a resident of Grove City, Kansas; and Lester, deceased. Mrs. Danforth was but three years of age when the family made the journey to Madison county with ox teams and here she was reared and educated. To Mr. And Mrs. Danforth were born seven children. Beulah is the widow of Dr. E. W. Foster and now lives in Wyoming. She first married Robert Vance, who died, leaving a son, George C. Harry, the second of the family, died Sep tember 15, i8sz. Fay, born October 30, 1880, passed away September 21, 1882. Fred Eugene is a cattle dealer of Winterset. Alfred D. Is engaged in the real estate business in Winterset. Lucile is the wife of Ray Hake, of Worland, Wyoming. Jay B. Is engaged in the grocery business in Winterset.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Madison County, Iowa, and Its People, Vol. 1 For several years it has been my ambition to prepare and compile a History of Madison County. That time has been delayed until in the fall of 1914 when arrangements were made with The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company of Chicago to act as Supervising Editor of the first volume. Mr. W. L. Kershaw was employed to do the writing and compiling from the large source of material at hand. The manuscripts of the late Andrew J. Hoisington, of Great Bend, Kansas, who in the year 1905 gathered much valuable material for the purpose of publishing a History of Madison County, were secured through the kindness of his sister, Mrs. Samuel Johnson, of Union Township. (Read the Life of Andrew J. Hoisington in Volume Two.) Much of the material from this manuscript was incorporated in this History. Another source was from the material collected by the Madison County Historical Society since its organization in 1904. All papers presented before the Historical Society are preserved as well as other matter of historical value. Much of this material was drawn upon for this History. Also the two histories, viz: Davies' History and Directory of Madison County, published in 1869, and The History of Madison County, published in 1879, were used. These two books were written at a time when many of the early pioneers were still living who knew much of the beginning of things in Madison County. Nearly all those persons have passed away, which makes the collecting of early history more difficult. The newspaper files of the Winterset papers, especially the special historical numbers published at various times by The Madisonian, The Reporter, The News, and The Winterset Review, were freely used. To all the above sources we make due acknowledgment for the data which was drawn upon for the present History. We wish to express our sincere thanks to the Advisory Board for their advice and assistance rendered; also to the many members of the Madison County Historical Society who have at different times presented papers before the society. These papers have been used quite extensively in this volume. We especially express our appreciation to the persons named below and make due acknowledgment of the same at this time. Two of them have passed away but their many kind and noble deeds live in the hearts of those who were privileged to know them, viz: W. S. Wilkinson and Mrs. Jennie Lothrop Whedon. The names of the authors and the subjects written by them which appear in this History are as follows: W. S. Wilkinson: "The Big Snake Hunt," "As a Boy Saw It," "Early Schools, Religion, and Politics," and "The Buffalo Mills." E. R. Zeller: Biographies of Andrew J. Hoisington and Judge J. A. Pitzer, and "History of the Kentucky Settlement." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
