Notes
a. Note:   Bio for Angeline's husband - History of Iowa County C. W. Statler was for many years actively engaged in farming and borehis part in the work of development in his locality. He was born in1834, in Ohio, and received an excellent education in his nativestate. When this county was still a pioneer region he located upon afarm and continued to operate it until his demise. He was energeticand diligent and as his methods were practical his labors yielded hima good return year by year. In 1873 Mr. Statler married Miss Angeline Blair, a native of Tennesseeand a daughter of Montgomery and Mary (Carson) Blair, both likewiseborn in that state. The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Blair was solemnizedin Tennessee but in 1852 they came to Iowa county, Iowa, making thejourney with covered wagons. It took six weeks to make the trip andupon arriving here they found a district the improvement of whichseemed scarcely begun. The father entered land and built a log cabinwhich served as a residence for a considerable time. Both he and hiswife passed away in this county. They were the parents of eightchildren, seven of whom are still living. To Mr. and Mrs. Statler wereborn three daughters and a son: Mary M.. now Mrs. Ira Hudson;Elizabeth. who married A. Lavell; Maud, deceased; and Harry, of thiscounty. Mr. Statler was justly proud of his record as a soldier, as he servedfor three years in Company I, Twenty-eighth Regiment of Iowa VolunteerInfantry, and participated in many important engagements. At thebattle of Champion's Hill he was wounded in the left shoulder and heendured many hardships and discomforts. He was mustered out atDavenport, Iowa, and then returned to the pursuits of civil life. Hispolitical belief was that of the democratic party and for many yearshe was justice of the peace. He also served on the school board andheld a number of township offices, proving capable and conscientiousas an official. The Christian church found in him a consistent memberand he took an active part in its work. His widow also holdsmembership in that organization and is much interested in theextension of its influence. She owns a fine resi-dence in NorthEnglish and is well and favorably known there. The demise of Mr.Statler occurred in December, 1904 and interment was made in theClothier cemetery. He was a true pioneer and disregarded privation andhard work, believing that he was more than compensated for all of theunpleasantness of frontier life by the consciousness that he wasgaining for himself material prosperity and that he was also layingthe foundation for a prosperous and progressive community in thefuture. It was a great gratification to him that he lived to have apart in the life of his locality when the conditions of pioneer dayswere but a memory and when Iowa county compared favorably in all thatgoes to make up civilization with the counties of the older easternstates.
