"Edmund Douglass Mendon Twp.
Edmund Douglass was born in Chautauqua County, N. Y., July 9, 1820, son of Gilbert and Elizabeth (Hamilton) Douglass, who were married about 1810, in Rutland, Vt., and soon afterward removed to Chautauqua County, N. Y., where he engaged in farming, and was elected Sheriff of that county a number of years. In 1831 he removed to Jersey County, Ill., where he remained until his death, which occurred in 1837. In 1844 the family removed to Clayton County, Iowa, and settled in Garnavillo Township. The mother died in 1865, in McGregor. Edmund learned the trade of a tanner and currier. He was married to Harriett Curtis, who was born in Washington County, Ohio, Sept. 30, 1820. Eight children blessed this union, seven of whom are living-- George, Ellen, Ann, Edward, Reuben N., Cora and Leverett S. Mr. Douglass was engaged in the lead mines at Galena in 1845, and the following year came to Garnavillo, where he was employed as clerk. He afterward purchased a portable saw-mill in company with his brother. They purchased the first steam engine that was ever used in Clayton County. In 1853 he went to California, where he worked in the mines three years, then returned to Iowwa where he has resided since. In 1859 he came to McGregor, and engaged in the sash and blind business. In 1870 he was appointed Deputy Sheriff, which office he held in connection with Deputy U. S. Marshalship until 1880, and has held various offices since."3The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1880 United States Census, Copyright (c) 2000, 2002 FamilySearch (TM) Internet Genealogy Service, September 11, 2006, FHL Film 1254333; National Archives Film T9-0333; Page 493C, Family History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah.

"RReuben Noble was born on the 14th of April, 1821, in Adams County, Mississippi, where his father was a planter. The father was opposed to human slavery and in 1833 removed to Illinois to rear his family in a free State. When the son was eighteen years of age he began to study law and was admitted to the bar at twenty-one. In 1843 he came to Iowa, making his home in Garnavillo, in Clayton County. In 1854 he was elected as a free soil Whig to the Legislature and upon the organization of the House was chosen Speaker, serving in the regular and extra sessions of 1854-5-6. At the first Republican State Convention of 1856 Reuben Noble was placed at the hear of the ticket for presidential elector. Four year later he was a delegate to the National Convention which nominated Abraham Lincoln for President. Up to the time of the attempt of the Republicans to remove President Johnson by impeachment, Mr. Nobel had been a prominent leader of that party. But approving of the policy of the President he left the Republicans and from that time became a Democrat. In 1866 he was nominated by the Democrates for Representative in Congress, but was defeated by William B. Allison. In 1870 he was the Democratic candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court by was defeated by Judge Day. In 1874 he was elected judge of the District Court and in 1878 was reelected. In 1879 he was again the Democrateic candidate for Supreme Judge, but was again defeted. In 1886 he was one of the organizers of the Pioneer Lawmakers' Association and was its first president, never missing a session during the remainder of his life. Judge Noble was the leader of the bar of northeastern Iowa from 1850 to the time of his death which occurred August 8, 1896."2B. F.
