REUNION OF THE 30TH IOWA
The First Regimental Meeting of the Boys of the 30th, Who Went Out in 1862.
Fairfield has been full of old soldiers for two days past, the occasion being the first reunion of the members of the 30th Iowa Infantry. Two companies of this regiment were recruited in this city, and it is a neat compliment to them that the first reunion is held here. The 30th started out in August, 1862, with 983 men. Afterwards 66 more were recruited, but on June 6th, 1865 when they were mustered out at Washington, D.C., there were just 341 of them. Over two-thirds of the brave boys died on southern battle-fields in defense of their country, or were the victims of disease, or had been discharged by reason of disabilities. Their first colonel was Col. Torrence, who was succeeded by Col. A. Roberts, now living at Rising, Neb., and who is with the boys here this week. The widow of Col. Torrence is here from Kansas City and has been met with a most cordial reception by the members of her much loved husband's regiment. The widow of Col. Abbott resided for years in Muscatine, and was afterwards married to Mr. Geo. Barnhart, who is a business man in Chicago. The regiment was engaged in many battles. It was in that at Arkansaw Post Jan. 11, 1863, at all the battles about Vicksburg, at Cherokee Station, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Ringgold, Resaca, Dallas, Big Shanty, Kenesaw Mountains, the battles about Atlantic in July, 1864, at Jonesboro, Lovejoy Station, with Sherman to the Sea, at Columbia, S.C., Cox's Bridge, Bentonville, and thence to Washington, where the boys were mustered out. The present colonel went out as a captain and R.D. Creamer, of Memphis, Mo. who went out as a captain, returned as a major.
At 1:30 Wednesday afternoon the old soldiers assembled in the park at the call of the fife and drum, when roll call took place and company reports were made. The regiment together with the ex-soldiers of other regiments then formed in batallion [sic] and exercised in the park, winding up with dress parade, after which several addresses were made by Lieut. Ed. Heaton, Major Creamer, Lieut. Chester, Capt. Geo Heaton, Col. Roberts, Capt. Burgess, and Capt. Watkins. Comrade Joke entertained the audience with some army songs. At 6 o'clock the regiment formed and marched to the Presbyterian church where an ample supper was spread and of which nearly one hundred and fifty partook.

No relationship was stated. [Muscatine County, Iowa is on the eastern border of Iowa on the river just across from Henderson County, Illinois. In the 1860 census, there was a D. W. Clover aged 55, born PA with a wife, Catherine, aged 49, born Ohio. It is possible that this is the same person.]

were Daniel R. Wheeler and his two grown daughters, all of whom took up
homesteads on section 32, in 1868. Mr. Wheeler's daughters' names were
Miranda and Mary. The father and two daughters took their clams and
built a dwelling (such as it was) which stood on the corners of the
several pieces.

Cyclone of 1860
Excerpt from Past and Present of Hardin County, Iowa ed. by William J. Noir. Indianapolis, Ind.: B. F. Bowen & Company, 1911. p. 360:
"In many ways the greatest tornado, or cyclone, that ever passed over Iowa soil, destroying life and property, was the one of June 3, 1860, which started in Cherokee county, in western Iowa, and sped eastward through Hamilton county, where it did some damage to farm property, and increased in its fury as it progressed eastward to the Mississippi river, taking in its track the little town of Camanche, Clinton county, crossing the river and on to the shores of Lake Michigan. In point of territory covered and damage done in its path, nothering has ever surpassed it in Iowa. In Hardin county it struck hardest in the vicinity of New Providence."

============
Hardin County, Iowa-- Town of Alden
The old town of Alden was laid out by Henry
Alden, in 1855. This was afterwards known as Upper Town.
N. A. McClure & Co., of Cubuque, and Lott
Clover,
of Alden, in 1856, laid out Clover’s Addition. This was known
as Lower
Town. The Central Addition was laid out by Raymond, Peabody and Hawes
in 1857, the land having been bought of Henry Alden for $100 an acre.
This addition was located between the other two, and was on neutral
ground. A great many who afterwards settled here located on this
addition, fearing that either Upper or Lower Town would eventually be
abandoned, which has since proved true. At the moving of Taylor
Bros.’
Mill al business was transferred to the upper town. During the year
1857 the town grew very rapidly, but owing to the financial crash of
that year, it received a back set. A great many of the town owners
abandoned their property.
The first house was erected by Lott
Clover in 1855, and is now owned by William Pagh, as
part of his residence.
