A historic cross-countrytrip by a U.S Army convoy in1918 that stopped in Tamawould later pave the way forthe national interstate sys-tem.

And one of the officersincluded would go on tobecome a major figure inU.S. history, leading theAllies to victory in World WarII.

Later, he would be elect-ed president in 1952 and1956.

The man was the lateDwight D. Eisenhower, andone of his major accomplish-ments as president was thecreation of the interstate net-work.

Consequently, that is whydrivers see the white on bluesigns on I-80 and other inter-states that read: “TheDwight D. EisenhowerNational System of Inter-state and Defense High-ways.”

Evidently, the experienceof traveling over our nationʼs

weeks on the National Mall,near the Washington monu-ment. The ground was stillchewed up from the hugetent stakes, coupled with therepeated pounding fromhundreds of feet and vehi-cles.

Ten years later, this timeas a married man, I traveledto Washington again.

It was late September,and my wife Karen and Ijoined another couple anddrove to Washington to seea mutual college friend.Again, the excitement ofdriving faster than usual —especially late at night onthe interstates and tollways— added to the fun. Thefour of us enjoyed eachotherʼs company and wewere able to see many ofthe historic sites includingCarol Channing in “Hello,Dolly,”and the National Zoo,which had a pair of enter-taining pandas, courtesy ofthe Peopleʼs Republic ofChina.

Three years later, Karenand I took another trip, thistime, west. It was a two-week vacation plus, and itallowed us plenty of time tocamp and see the BadlandsNational Monument, MountRushmore, the ContinentalDivide, Yellowstone Nation-al Park, Mount St. Helenʼs(not long after its eruption)Oregon beaches, redwoodforests, San Francisco andmany friends and family, allin our modest, but comfort-able 1976 Ford Granada.

The pictures? There isone of Karen standing by anI-94 sign somewhere inSouth Dakota as the sunwas setting, and another ofher standing in a huge Cali-fornia redwood tree boredout at the bottom to allowvehicles to drive through.So, here is a belated thank-you to President Eisenhow-er, the federal and stateelected officials who votedto fund the interstate systemand the engineers, contrac-tors and laborers who madeit all possible.

gravel or dirt roads had animpact. And as a career mili-tary man, Eisenhowerunderstood the importanceof an effective transportationsystem to move troops andsupplies in peacetime and inwar.

And it was a war — theCold War — which has-tened interstate constructionfrom the 1950s and beyond.

The conventional wisdomwas that interstates wouldbe needed to help evacuatecitizens in the event of war.

I donʼt know if the thou-sands of truckers and otherdrivers that use I-80 or I-35on a regular basis know thedefense and evacuation fac-tors, but I do know that theroadways made possibleseveral memorable vaca-tions and two unforgettablephotos.

The first trip was inAugust, 1968, as my dadand I were preparing to drivefrom Clinton to Delaware tovisit family. I had recentlyearned my driverʼs license,and was looking forward tohelping him make the longdrive, approximately halfway across the UnitedStates.

Then, our one family car

was a giant Mercury four-door with a huge V-8 motorand enough room to seat sixcomfortably.

Somewhere on I-80 Eastdad let me drive. I can stillremember accelerating upto the posted speed limitand well beyond, as thepowerful Mercury let mepass some vehicles as ifthey were standing still. I feltlike a seasoned road warriorafter a few miles in the bigcar and safely moving in andout of traffic.

Making that trip especial-ly memorable was visitingWashington D.C. for the firsttime. The Poor PeopleʼsMarch on Washington hadtaken place earlier in theyear, and its thousands ofattendees had recentlydeparted. The march wasled by the late Rev. RalphAbernathy, who had takenthe leadership role in theCivil Rights campaign afterthe assassination of Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. inApril. Its purpose was tomake the country aware ofthe severe poverty in manyparts of the country. Manyof the marchers hadcamped in tents and make-shift shelters for several

What I wishto recount here was atrip with just the four ofus around some of theGreat Lakes. Dad lovedthe Great Lakes. Wewould go an unspecifiednumber of miles eachday until dad would say,“Time to stop and get amotel.” We didnʼt eat inrestaurants, so foodpreparation in the localparks was the standard.On this particular trip, thestopping time landed usin Milwaukee ... We start-ed looking for a vacancysign. Dad would pull in.Mom would go to theoffice and ask the cost.She came out very upsetthis time. “Florian! Theywant $14 for one night!”Obviously, that was morethan we were going topay. The “vacancy” signsbecame fewer. Theprices continued to rise.And nightfall was uponus. Ultimately, we pulledin to a little park alongLake Michigan. Some-time during the weehours, dad and Beverlysat on a park benchwatching the sun riseover Lake Michigan.Mother was curled up inthe front seat of the carand I was in the backseat. A tap came on ourwindow. We awoke tothe sight of a policemanwho informed us thatthere was “no sleeping”in the park. Motherinformed him that we had“no choice” as the motelswere all filled. “Oh yes,”he replied, “big baseballgame today. Well ... it isnearly daylight ... so youcan stay. Just donʼt let ithappen again.” In duetime, the sun came up.Dad drove to a gas sta-tion, and us women-folkgrabbed our overnightbags and changed in to

clothes suitable for amorning of shopping inMilwaukee.

“And what is so rare asa day in June?

Then, if ever, comeperfect days;

Then Heaven triesearth if it be in tune,

And over it softly herwarm ear lays;

Whether we look, orwhether we listen,

We hear life murmur,or see it glisten.”

June is ... Weddings ... Fatherʼs

Day ... Vacations ... FlagDay.

WEDDINGS IN JUNE Once upon a time, I

thought the only “proper”month to get married wasJune. That time of think-ing matched never havingroast turkey and dressingexcept for ThanksgivingThursday in November.Somewhere along theway, I had to accept thatfolks chose a month otherthan June in which to getmarried. It was still manyMANY years before Iactually roasted a turkeywith dressing in a monthother than November. Itwas August. And the skydid not fall, Chicken Little.Wedding gifts were oftenpurchased at AbbottHardware or The BookNook.

FATHERʼS DAY Fatherʼs Day was

every day when one hada dad like mine. I haveknown very few peoplewho would love uncondi-tionally. My father wasone such. He also healedwounds: both physicallyand emotionally. Iremember a wood splin-ter got lodged under myfingernail when I was dig-ging a hole in the mudwith my hand. I thought ifI dug deep enough Iwould find China. Thereis no one I would havetrusted to get that splinterout from under my nail ...except my dad. Using soft

words, a needle, andtweezers, he gentlyremoved it. It hurt SO bad... but he took care of it.The first “emotional” thingI remember happened ingrade school was when Ireceived an “F” on a test.I felt like my life was over.I had always received Asand Bs. Receiving an Fmeant (to me) that Iwould never amount toanything. My life wasover. Dad took me “hicko-ry nutting” in a neighborʼsgrove. I do not rememberwhat words he said tome, or what stories heshared ... but when wewere done, I was nolonger crying and knewthat I would return toschool the next day ...and life would go on.

Dad loved poetry. Hehad memorized poems inschool. His favorite wasEdgar Allan Poe. Or ... atleast, that is the one thatI most connect with him:“The Raven” When I wasin college and had tomemorize a poem, Ichose that one ... for dad.When I was in eighthgrade, I memorized “TheHighwayman” for him. (Itis a LONG poem). Dadhad also memorized Ten-nysonʼs “The VillageBlacksmith” and JohnGreenleaf Whittier:“Blessings on thee, littleman, barefoot boy, withcheek of tan” — and sev-eral Robert Louis Steven-son poems. Dad alsowrote poetry. There wasone he recited often that Ithought he wrote for meas it was SO me: “There

was a Little Girl, WhoHad a Little Curl, Right inthe Middle of Her Fore-head. When She WasGood, She was very, veryGood. And when she wasBad, She Was Horrid.” Ithas only been in recentyears that I learned thatthis particular poem was— in fact — written byHenry WadsworthLongfellow.

The labor of pullingweeds in the garden orpicking corn that the cornpicker missed was madenot as laborious as dadwould sing “the old songsof long ago” — which welearned and would singalong. Dad would say:“Many hands make lightwork.” My sister Beverlyinherited dadʼs basketballprowess as well as hisvocal talent. Dad wasactive in the FarmBureau, U.S. Soil Con-servation Department, amember of the La MoilleSchool Board, a deaconat La Moille Church, adegreed Masonic mem-ber, and a good friendand neighbor to many.He was my hero. He wasmy dad.

VACATIONS In the late 1940s and

in to the 1950s, my moth-er and father and sisterand I went “traveling.”Often my motherʼs moth-er was with us, as well. Anumber of trips were“fishing trips” — upthrough Albert Lea andthe Twin Cities and on tonearly the Canadian bor-der. We could only reach

TIMES-REPUBLICAN

Nearly 75 yearshave passedsince Matthew

Edel of Haverhill died. But if he were to rise

from the grave, he couldwalk into his old shop,pick up a hammer andget to work again as ablacksmith.

His anvil, horseshoesand a wide variety ofhand tools, would be intheir familiar places, aswould his stash of tobac-co — hidden in his workdeskʼs secret compart-

ment. His shop has changed

little, thanks to hisdescendants, the state ofIowa, and the MarshallCounty Historical Society.

After Edel died in1940, the shop was onlyused periodically.

In the 1980s, the Edelfamily undertook steps toprotect and preserve it.

In 1983 it was listed onthe National Register ofHistoric Places, and in1986 the family, led byEdelʼs granddaughterLaura Murphy, donated itto the state of Iowa.

The State HistoricalSociety of Iowa pre-serves it as one of thestateʼs historical treas-ures, with the historicalsociety helping managethe site.

In April 1883, at age27, Edel opened hisshop.

Joining him was hisbride, Maria (nee) Hoff-man of Iowa City.

From this union camenine children.

Edel, a hardworkingGerman immigrant, wasat home in Haverhill, asmall community south of

Marshalltown, which wasestablished in 1882 andsettled by many GermanCatholics.

And for many yearsthe shop was central tocommerce in the oncethriving village in thesouth central part of thecounty, a shipping pointon the Chicago, Milwau-kee and St. Paul railroad.

The businesses inHaverhill at its peakincluded the HaverhillElevator Co.; the Haver-hill Telephone Co.,Clementine Crier, generalstore; John F. Ryan, gro-

cery and Edward O.Whelp, lumber.

Edel was truly a Ren-aissance man.

He was a skilled arti-san and inventor — hold-ing several patents.

He created and mar-keted at least a half-dozen tools.

From working for localfarmers, he devised andpatented the PerfectionDe-Horning Clipper to cutthe horns of cattle; thefence stretcher, to repairwire farm fences, thePerfection Wedge Cutterwhich punched out wood-

en wedges needed torepair carriages and wag-ons.

Eventually, Edelʼs cre-ative side merged withhis practical nature andhe fashioned iron ceme-tery crosses to decorategrave sites. The designdemonstrated his love ofsmithing, a simple crossupon which a single vineof leaves ran its length.

Several can be foundin the Haverhill Cemeteryand on Mariaʼs grave in acemetery south of IowaCity.

Edel sharpened sick-

Village Blacksmith

les and shovels, mendedhinges and chains,repaired wagons andplowshares, shoed horsesand oxen.

He worked in wood andmetal, over hot forges andskittish horses.

In the beginning, theshop was mall, about 30feet wide and 20 feetdeep. Upstairs was a half-story, in actuality an attic,but large enough toaccommodate his family.

The birth of their thirdchild — and only daughter— motivated the couple tobuild a house.

It was built directlybehind the shop and theold living quarters becamea storage area. Theremainder of the landowed by Edel, which cov-ered the entire half of acity block, comprised thefamilyʼs garden.

“To walk through Edelʼsshop today is to enter the

atmosphere of a black-smith shop more than acentury ago — when thenation was largely pow-ered and transported byhorses, not automobiles;when everyday itemswere routinely repaired,not replaced; and whenblacksmithing was anessential community serv-ice, not a vanishing skill.In this space, our imagina-tions quickly conjure upthe clang of hammeragainst horseshoe, thezing of saw into oak, andthe smell of white-hotiron,” wrote Michael Vogt,in Iowa Heritage Illustrat-ed.

It was an era whenpeople were self-suffi-cient, and the blacksmithshop was necessary.

In Marshall County,there used to be a shopevery five miles. Therewas one in Albion and Lis-comb and one in between.

Edel was “M. Edel —General Blacksmithing —Maker of Specialties —Haverhill, Iowa” accordingto his many businessfliers.

Edel may have beendetermined never to expe-rience failure again.

He had failed at oneventure when in Effing-ham, Ill., where he livedwith his family from thelate 1860s until 1881.

The family had emigrat-ed from Germany and set-tled in that central Illinoiscommunity.

He had put his heartand soul into inventing andpatenting the wire-bindergrain harvester, a machineused to bundle stalks asthey were cut.

Unfortunately for Edel,Cyrus McCormick inventedthe reaper at the sametime. It was a similarmachine which used less-expensive twine to bundlecrops.

Afterwards, Edel movedto Iowa City, met Maria,and bought land, sightunseen, from a land agentwith the railroad.

After Edelʼs death, sonLouis kept the shop openfor another 12 years tosupport another businessventure — a garage. Hewas the only son who tookan interest in his fatherʼscraft. In 1952 both busi-nesses closed. Louis soldhis property from thegarage, but he left every-thing in the blacksmithshop the way it was.

Over the years the shophas taken on a new role —as educator.

It attracts visitors fromthroughout the UnitedStates and from interna-tional locales as well. OnCounty Road E-63, it fea-tures Edelʼs many toolsand inventions. Shop toolsand remnants are conve-niently displayed.

The museum is opennoon to 4 p.m. daily, fromMemorial Day throughLabor Day. Admission isfree of charge. Contact641-475-3299, 641-752-6664, marshallhistory.orgor iowahistory.org.

In the Marshall County HistoricalMuseumʼs files is a small pamphletannouncing the 40th anniversary of thefirst settlement of Norwegians in thecounty. The celebration was held Sept.9, 1898 near Le Grand. It has photosof the first Norwegian settlers‚ SorenOleson, born in 1827, on RenesoIsland, Norway, and Anna Oleson bornin 1832, in Strand Sogn. Norway. Thecabin shown in the pamphlet isdescribed as it appeared in 1859, on a19-acre tract of land about 100 rods

southwest of Quarry. It was made oflogs and afterwards weather boardedwith black walnut lumber. On the backof the pamphlet is a ship at full sailwith the words: “Vi foriodhjemog fode-land.”

Oleson is described as a manwhose grit was tested before he left hisnative country, having the courage ofhis hardy ancestors. The couple waspoor. In fact, Soren was worth severaldollars less than nothing when hecame to this country, having to borrow

money to pay his passage. In thosedays, instead of getting your pile andgetting married, the rule seemed to beto get married and then get your pile,but by all means get your pile. SoSoren Oleson was not dismayed at hisprospects. An article from the Mar-shalltown Herald Tribune of Feb. 14,1907, continually praised the courage,hard work, and steadiness of theNorsemen. But it does note thatalthough there had been no foreclo-sures in the community and no sui-

cides, there was one patient in thehospital for the insane, four in the poorhouse, and but one in the penitentiary,and he was convicted of larceny.

A friend of the museum translatedthe Norwegian statement above as:“We have left our homeland.” Readers— if you have a different translation, ormore information about the Olesonsand the first Norwegian settlers, con-tact us at 641-752-6664, or [email protected]. We would welcomethe information.

the trench; and as it wentforward, it would coverthem up. Then in the

summer, we went to thesame location, as well asMarietta, and hoed weeds.

The day started at 6 a.m.and ended at 6 p.m. withabout an hour off for lunch— all high school kids fromall walks of life. The salarywas 60 cents an hour. Thelast summer, I worked forthem in the plant. It wasvery difficult work ʻstrap-pingʼ cans. We had aleather strap with a wood-en handle on each endand as the cans werefilled, we would gatherabout 10 or 12, then turnaround and place them ina huge steel pot, whichwas then placed in a hugepressure cooker. Thesewere the good old daysthat everyone talks about. Iwas very thankful for thework as I was able to pur-chase all my schoolclothes, etc.”

VEISHEA For those of us who

attended Iowa State Uni-versity as well as forthose who didnʼt, but areproud of it, the disruptionof the festivities this year

enough emphasis placedon this particular day?Perhaps if the greetingcard industry designedsome special Flag Daysentiments, June 14would not get lost in theshuffle. For those of uswho grew up reciting thePledge of Allegianceevery morning ... it stillmatters!

WESTERN GROCER Last month, Past

Times writer Mike Dona-hey of the Times-Republi-can wrote an article onthe former Letts-Fletch-er/Western Grocer Co.This brought back memo-ries to a former Marshall-town resident, Jim Paglia(now of Atascadero,Calif.). Jim writes: “I readwith interest the articleabout Western Grocery(canning factory). Iworked all three stages oftheir operation when Iwas in school, starting

engendered strong feel-ings. Former MHSinstructor Jim Hungerfordexpressed it here: “Thelast I attended VEISHEAwas 1953. I graduatedfrom Iowa State Collegein 1959. A look at theʻ1959 Bombʼ depicts theactivities of the 1,500seniors and nearly10,000 students: The first54 pages are about aca-demics, which at thattime, was VEISHEA (Vet-erinary Medicine, Engi-neering, Industrial Sci-ence, Home Economics,Agriculture). We will startwith our 1958 queen onpage 36. That is our cen-tennial year and the StarsOver VEISHEA (SOV)presented the musical,“Stairways.” Dutch him-self is on the next twopages, having been afeatured guest speaker atVEISHEATHON. Thenwe see ʻvariedʼ eventsincluding canoe racesand the horse show aswell as open houses andfuture designs on page43. The next four pagesshow us the VEISHEAparade floats and all.Images of the weatherrecorded too much sunand snow turning into

Now to the point,if less than 10,000 stu-dents could do all this, itwould seem the 30,000plus ʻselfiesʼ could do bet-ter?
