The Story of Iowa, Vols. III & IV (Abstracts)

Some of the bios in this book are quite long. Many are accompanied by large photos. Each biography discusses the person's occupation and civic interests and usually lists the groups the person is affiliated with; the person's parentage, sometimes in great detail; and the person's educational background. Then it presents the spouse's information, sometimes in as much detail as the subject of the biography. The children, if there are any, are presented last with details on their education, spouse, etc.

This book may be available for interlibrary loan, should you wish to read the entire biography on any of your ancestors.

LILLIAN RUSSELL, (p 61) along with other info on the paper is this interesting paragraph: "Charles E. Leonard was the first publisher and editor of the "Herald" with his offices in the Masonic Hall on First Street. He later found himself something of a celebrity, although not directly through his publishing work. His wife, Cythia Van Names Leonard, who was well known in club circles and who helped to open the first Soldiers' Home in Iowa, took her daughter, Nellie, to New York after the family moved to Chicago. It was this daughter who was destined to become the famous Lillian Russell."
