• Notes

  Muscatine Biography, c. 1889 The present bar of Muscatine Co.,. will not suffer by comparison with that of any period in the past. The following named comprise the resident attorneys of the Co.,. in the spring of 1889 : Broomhall & Kemble, Brown & Hanley, J. Carskaddan, Cloud and Doran, E. U. Cook, L. C. Crossman, T. T. Doyle, P. M. Detwiler, T. R. Fitzgerald, C. F. Garlock, Dan Harker, Jayne & Hoffman, C. A. W. Kent, H. J. Lauder, D. M. Lambert, H. C. Madden, J. H.Munroe, J. R. Nisley, Penzer Bros., E. F. Richman, Richman & Burk, Richman & Son, N. Rosenberger, J. J. Russell, L. W. Swem, Titus & Jackson, J. D. Walker, and E. M. Warner. From "A Record of the Descendants of James Henry Rosenberger" compiled by William B. Lindley: "My understanding is that my father and Uncle Abbie (Absalom) attended Spiceland Academy in Indiana and that both of themcame to Iowa at, or near, the same time. Nathan attended Penn College at Oskaloosa and sometime after leaving Penn he was principal of the Academy at Pleasant Plain, Iowa, I think from about 1880-1883. He was elected County Superintendent of public instruction for one term in Jefferson County, Iowa, of which Fairfield is the county seat. He then studied law in the office of Hinkle and Wilsonof Fairfield for about one year, and was admitted to the bar of the State of Iowa in 1886. Nathan and Ellen Prizer were married September 6, 1886 and moved to Muscatine, Iowa, on September 8, 1886. Nathan commenced the practice of law which he continued until his death, with a six months interlude from December1906, to June 1907, when the family lived in Louisiana. He was a staunch prohibitionist and when prosecuting the saloon interests, he, together with the editor of the Muscatine Journal, and two businessmen had their four homes dynamited(May 1893), Nathan's home being completely destroyed. No one was injured but himself. He was standing directly over the charge and his ankle was sprained. He died in 1933 at Oskaloosa, Iowa, at Emma's home, and was buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Muscatine." - Charles J. Rosenberger, Muscatine, Iowa. The family names and dates are as accurate as I can possibly make them. Whereverpossible I looked for confirmation from two or more sources. When relying on other family Gedcoms and research I invariably triple-checked the sources againstrelated Gedcoms
