2. [IaAudubon] World War I military abbreviations [1]
My father's older brother died of influenza while in the army at Camp Dodge in October, 1918. His grave marker at Oak Hill cemetery west of Brayton shows that he was a member of company 55 of the U.S.N.A. Can anyone tell me what those initials stood for? I suspect it was something like the United States National Army, as a way to identify drafted soldiers and regular (or career) soldiers, the latter of whom probably were referred to with initials similar to USA for United State Army. Fritz

7. [IaAudubon] Early History of Audubon County [1]
I recently completed some newspaper research in the Audubon County Journal of 1909, looking for family history information. This weekly newspaper was printed in the town of Exira, Audubon County, Iowa and had a focus on the southern half of the county, leaving the northern half to the paper in the town of Audubon. I used microfilm copies of the Journal on inter-library loan from the Iowa State Historical Library in Des Moines. In doing my personal research, I also noted the following information about

A movement in now on foot to have Congress impose a tax of ten cents instead of two cents. The total amount collected fro

17. [IaAudubon] Audubon Co. Iowa Journals [1]
Fritz and Larry, I to have enjoyed reading about the early history of Audubon Co. and Brayton area there. It certainly gives us an idea of how our ancestors lived, and what was going on there in that time span. The H. F. Andrews that you mentioned was Henry Franklin Andrews, an avid researcher of the Hamlin family, and so many of the families that lived in the county during the late mid to late 1800's. Mr. Andrews was also a lawyer, and ex soldier, having quite a lot of honors given him during his
18. [IaAudubon] Oliver Smith [1]
Hi Fritz, Again, I laughed a lot at the antics and social information that you are putting on this list from the Brayton area! What a great thing to hear about life during this early part of the that century. One thing did catch my attention on this last entry you made. I have copied it into this message for you. I would be interested in this biography on O. F. Ide.and his living with the Oliver Smith family. I have reason to believe these Smiths may be a part of one of my early families there in

Fritz: I greatly appreciate your contributions from local newspapers of 100 yrs. ago. I was born 4-5 miles SE of Brayton, just over the line in Cass Co., but not quite 100 yrs. ago. I've been in Brayton many times in my life and knew of Tony & Ralph Juhl + Guy Miller, the barber. My Grandpa Walter Nelson played checkers with Ralph Juhl for hours at a time. Hans Nymand is connected to my Nielsen/Nelson family. My grandfather's 1st wife was Katherine 'Trina' Nymand, dau. of Jesse, who was a brother of Hans
