"George Slawson: An American Pioneer" by Harold D. Slosson - John, Jr., the optimist, was a successful realtor - a "land merchant", his advertisements read Aided by his wife, Sophie, he ehlped his hometown, Northwood, Iowa, conquering troubles during the Great Depressin. In public service he had been mayor, state assemblyman, and state senator.....
John was a cheerful person, seemingly the most lighthearted of the family. He was even something of a humorit, a number of his pleasantries being remembered to this day...
John was a popular young man in the town of Northwood. Thus, in the course of time he found favor with an attractive town girl, Sophie Savre, oldest daughter of Ed Savre, sherriff of the county....
John had a serious as well as a fun-loving side. On his father's passing he took over the farm management, doing most of the physical labor himself...working early and late, plowing, feeding stock, repairing buildings or doing whatever was required to keep things going.
The hard work showed on his person, making him a slender, muscular man at that thime, possibly a little above average in height...in later years John became rather heavy, a rounded endomorph in appearance....
"In the summer of 1904, John had concluded to make a canvass for the Republican nomination to the office of County Recorder. Though there was a large field of contestants, he was chosen by a safe margin, and duly elected. In 1906 he was re-elected without opposition having proven himself a capable and obliging official."....
He remained in this public office until 1911. During that time he had enlarged his acquaintance with people in the area.....He became a partner with a realtor by the name of Emory who had an office on Northwood's main street.
Emory and Slosson, "Earth Merchangs," became an active realty sales firm. Wirtten on their letterhead was "Our Motto is a Square Deal to both Buyer and Seller."...
Although Mr. Emory passed on after a time, John continued this interest in real estate through the rest of his life. At times, he took time off for public duties. In 1916 he was elecgted representative from that district to the Thirty-seventh General Assembly of the Iowa State Legislature. This was the same public service as given by his father some thirty years before. Furthermore, it resembled the public contribution made by the first family member, George Slawson, who for six years, starting in 1657, was the Stamford deputy to the General Court in New Haven, Connecticut....
While John disclaimed being a politician, he seemed to have been an effective one in that area. With a friendly nature, local business experience, farmer and townsmen alike. Thus, it is not surprising that John served two terms (1917-1921) as an assemblyman. Therefore, he served as a state senator (1921-1925). These legislatie sessions were held in the state capital, Des Moines, where for the interim he lived with his wife, Sophie....After the 1925 session, John never ran for state office again, taking on only local duties...
John's realty business, to which he returned after having been a state senator, was described in a Northwood "Anchor" news release for August 16, 1951 - "John Slosson, President of the Farmers' Loan and Investment Company, is the pioneer real estate and loan man in this section of the state." Further, that in the thirty-eight years of his business he had sold thousands of acres of farmlands in northern Iowa and southern Minnesota....While Farmers' Loan and Investment Company was the firm name then used, for a longer period it was called the J.M. Slosson Investment Company...
John served as president, 1939-1946 to the Worth county Co-op Oil Company....Was also president of the Worth county Agricultural Society..He also served as Mayor..
Sophie Slosson had been a good helpmate to John. She kept their home attractive, a comfortable place for John's return after his business and public affairs. Meanwhile, she helped her church and the good causes in the town. Gifted with artistic talent , she painted in oils, producing creditable landscapes, rural scenes about the town...She also was a good raconteur....
Sophie belonged to a large family of brothers and sisters, most of whom soon moved to larger cities elsewhere. but two sisters, Rose Hanson and Ella Johnson, remained in Northwood, being attentive to the Slossons in their senior years...
Unfortunately, Sophie and John were not blessed with children. But they did adopt a young girl, Norma, who brought great joy to thier life. With a pleasant disposition, she became a schoolteach, helping young children get started in life. But Norma was not strong passing away in her early thirties despite the best medical care obtainable at that time.
At the time of their sixtieth anniversary, John was nearly eighty-three years old, but fairly active. Finally, on March 9, 1963, at the age of eighty-six, he left his beloved wife, Sophie, his Northwood friends, and the Shell Rock River, passing on to the great beyond.
Sophie remained in their Northwood home until, with increasing infirmity, she moved to a nearby convalescent home. There she lived until april 21, 1969, when she passed away at the age of ninety-two. John, Sophie, and Norma, remaining with their hometown to the end, are buried in Sunset View Cemetery, Northwood, Iowa.

John married Sophie SAVRE on 01 Jun 1899 in Worth County, Iowa. Sophie was born in Mar 1878 in Iowa; died on 21 Apr 1969 in Northwood, Worth County, Iowa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"George Slawson - An American Pioneer": by Harold D. Slosson - Charley, the small-town entrepreneur, went to California during the land boom of the 1880s. There, aided by his wife Anna, he started a number of enterprises.
September 25, 1860 in Northwood, Iowa, Charles Eugene Slosson was born as the first child of John and Roxy Jane Slosson...
Charley, as he was commonly called, commenced live on the Slosson's first, small farm, close in to the small town of Northwood where he started school.....
In 1869, his parents took him as a nine-year-old boy to their new section-size farm southeast of the town....
Sorghum was one of the crops raised on the Slosson farm. It is a tall-growing plant resembling perhaps corn or sugar cane. Further, like sugar cane its stalks are sweet, being chewed on for their pleasant taste. Again, it may be fed to stock or pressed to obtain sorghum syrup, popular on the breakfast table. At that time, men in the field cut the stalks using large knives,probably like a machete.
When cutting the stalks in this way, Charley received a bad gash on his leg. The wound bled profusely, with Mary being greatly alarmed. The father, from a long frontier life, was evidently a good first aider; the flow of blood was staunched, and the cut healed without ill aftereffects. The point of this story (as told by Mary), ws that raming life could be rough, hazardous at times, as well.
Butter, another farm product, was early made by the housewife in a hand-operated churn. John Slosson, the father, saw the advantage of a central milk collecting place, or creamery, as the efficient was to make butter. So with the help of Charley he built the first creamery in Worth County, and one of the first in the state.
The creamery business did all right. Additionally, Charley had abstracted land titles, and had served as deputy county treasurer and auditor. But by the middle 1880s Charley found something else churning in his mind. A great land boom was starting in southern California; he wanted to go there and be a part of it.....
He arrived sometime before December 1887.
Not long after Charley's arrival he was serving as a deputy in the city clerk's office. In 1889 he was appointed city clerk, his promotion - according to Wiley's 'History of Monrovia' - being earned by "faiathful service and attention to business." In this capacity he remained until his resignation in 1897.
....Probably the resignation followed the press of personal business. Soon we fin there is the Slosson Livery Stable.
C.E. SLOSSON, Proprietor
Monrovia Livery, Feed and Sale Stables
Horses and Crriages Bought, Sold and
Exchanged
Open Day and Night
Contractors for Household Moving, All Kinds of Team Work

For a time Charley had a prominent local man by the name of Cornes as his partner.....
Meanwhile, Chrley had become the first notary public in the town, and had gone into the real estate business. His office was on Monrovia's main street, Myrtle Avenue, being on the east side between Olive and Orange. There Charley sold all classes of property, possibly his most import being the subdividing of the sizable Oak Park Tract on the east side of town. Two other subdivisions of Charley's were the Valle Vista and the Orange Avenue tracts......
In Iowa, Charley had helped free the farm wife from the churning detail; now in California he helped release the housewife from washboard drudgery. With others he started the Monrovia Steam Laundry, possibly a successor to Chinese hand laundry, or to another laundry which had been there before. A commercial laundry was then needed, too, since this was before the days of the automatic washer and dryer; nor was there then electric power to run such units...
Somewhat similar to this foregoing enterprise was the San Gabriel River Rock and Gravel Company, which Charley helped organize, serving as its president for some time....
The townsmen organized the "Monrovia Rifles," sometimes called the "Monrovia Guards." Charley is listed as a volunteer on their roster.....
Charley had helped organize Monrovia's first Board of Trade and had served as its secretary. But his greatest public service, perhaps, was in connection with water....
In 1899 a committee of city trustees and prominent men, including Charley Slosson, was formed to study the water problem. Their recommendation for the purchase of Chapman water-bearing land was favorably acted on, with the water line being laid into town along what is now Foodhill Boulevard. This saved the day, with other water sources being located later. In 1903 Charley again served on a later committee which recomended further improvements at the Chapman wells....
On October 2, 1889, Charley married Anna V. McCullough, who had been born July 3, 1860, in Kingston, Pennsylvania. Anna at that time was a popular young school-teacher.
Initially the young couple lived in a frame house on North Encinitas Avenue. Subsequently, for some years this property was in various family hands. At about the turn of the century, Charley and Anna moved to a larger house on East Lime Avenue, just a block from the main street. Many social events were held there, including the entertaining of important dignitaries, such as congressmen. For a time Chrley served as a menber of the Republican Central Committee of Los Angeles County, having been on the executive committee for two years.
Charley and Anna had one child, Arlne, born in Monrovia on Jul 16, 1895....
Anna Slosson was honored as being a charter menber of the First Presbyterian Church, and singing for many years in its choir. She was also a charter member of the Monrovia Women's Club, serving as its secretary. Another cause she aided was the starting of the Monrovia Public Library.
On Janue 12, 1916, Charley passed away in Monrovia, the town he had helped for so many years. There, also, Anne had passed away on November 3, 1937. they are buried in southwest Los Angeles where Anna's folks had a family plot, in an old, but beautiful cemetery called Rosedale.

Charles married Anna V. MCCULLOCH on 02 Oct 1889 in Monrovia, Los Angeles County, California. Anna was born on 03 Jul 1860 in Kingston, Pennsylvania; died on 03 Nov 1937 in Monrovia, Los Angeles County, California. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"George Slawson: An American Pioneer" by Harold D. Slosson - Roy, the student, had great promise as a leader in the intellectual field. Unfortunately, just before his school graduation, there came a tragedy....
A school record still remaining shows that Roy was in the academic department. But he had varied interests, being enrolled in a scientific course. Also, he served on the editorial staff of the school's paper, the "Nora Springs Seminarian". In a totally different area, he gave an impersonation in the annuel elocution contest.
Finally, in June 11, 1896, was to come the graduation exercises for the Class of 1896, Academic Department of the Nora Springs Seminary and Business College. It was to be Roy's big day, for although he was just seventeen, he was a senior in the class and was to give one of the orations. Just before those exercises, there is what happened, according to some news accounts still preserved.
The preceptor, as the elocution coach was called, together with five boys in the class, had gone to the banks of the Shell Rock River, not far away. there, as practice for the final night, each boy in turn recited his oration to the professor.
Their orations having been given, one of the boys proposed that they bathe in the stream, as was common custom of boys in rural areas at that thime. Two of the boys, who could not swim, went upstream, then aroung a bend where they believed the water was shallow for easy wading across. Perhaps as a gesture of friendship, Roy - believed to hae been only a fair swimmer - had accompanied them.
Soon, one of the boys who had initially remained behind went upstream, arriving around the bend only in time to see Roy apparently in a vain attempt to rescue his companions. What must have looked to them like a shallow place in the river had turned out to be a deep hole. All three boys were drowned.
"There is no doubt in the minds of the professor or Roy's classmates," states the previously mentioned news account, "that Roy in a brave and noble effort to rescue his friends and classmates, gave up his own life."
In a matter of minutes had ended the promising career of Roy C. Slosson. memorial services were held in Northwood, Iowa, on June 8, 1896....
Near a pine tree in the old Prairie cemetery north of town rest the mortal remains of Roy Clinton Slosson.

Notes:

"George Slawson : An American Pioneer" by Harold D. Slosson - Mary, the spiritual leader, was also for a time a freelance writer. In 1902, sometime after the passing of her husband, she moved with her daughter, Jean, from Iowa to California.
When middle-aged Mary studied Spanish, becoming conversational in that language......
In 1887 came Mary's turn to travel on that same train she had frequently seen. Accompanied by her older brother, Charley, she had gone for a visit to her Bigelow relatives in Duarte, California.
After that California trip, mary returned to her professional work in the Northwood area. She was helped by her varied talents, with a clipping in the family records saying in part, "She has proved herself adept with the pen and at raising pure-bred poultry. She is a prize contributor to the American Agriculturist, the Home, Practical housekeeper, Ladies' world and other home journals. Her articles are mostly children's stories, domestic talks, and poultry notes."
In 1890 a romantic event came into her life. It was described by one of her writer friends that "she was caught in Cupid's net." For in that year Mary was married to George W. Stelson, who had been born on September 6, 1858, in Fulton County, New York. This county, above the Mohawk River, is farther north than the Slossons' early family location in new York State. In Iowa, George Stelson lived in Kensett township, where he may have been associated with John Slosson in some project on the farm.
Mary was tall, erect woman with a good bearing. It was said that, tall though she was, George was even taller. The marriage of this couple - Mary and George - came on a special day, July 4, 1890.
On November 5, 1896, a daughter was born to this couple named Alma Jean, who was generally called Jean in later years. With her parents, she was living at that time on the Northwood farm....
On September 20, 1897, to this family came a sorrow. For then the father, George Stelson, passed away. He was praised highly in the Northweed newspapers, with the obituary column still being in the famiy records. The Burial was in the Slosson family plot at the State Line Cemetery, between Northwood and Albert Lea, Minnesota.
Through the years, Mary kept an active interest in her church. Even when moving from place to place, she immediately identified herself with some church....Willing to become involved, soon she was teaching a Sunday School class or doing some other worthwhile work. In Monrovia, Mary taught a boys' class for many years.....
After Jean had completed her freshman year at Pomona, mother and daughter moved to Berkeley. There Jean, always a good student, completed three more years of schooling, graduating from the University of California in 1918.
The next move was back to southern California, where in Los Angeles, mary first rented a house in te Exposition Park district. This was when Jean enrolled in the Los Angeles Public Library school. After completion of the course, she became a member of the library staff. mary next purchased a place in the West Adams district, where the family lived for many years...
Throughout her later years, mary had been troubled with some form of digetive disturbance. Because of it, at least twice she had been critically ill, only to survive, semingly, because of Divine intervention. But she lived prudently, being temperate in her eating, which to some extent was largely a natural food diet....It had paid off, since she lived past the biblical "three score and ten years,". She was still in fair health when she passed away at the age of seventy-two.
When small, Mary saw the circuit preacher riding across the prairie to his flock in Northwood. Now elderly, strong in the Gospel faith, on May 23, 1934, Mary went home to be with the Lord. Mourned by her many friends and relatives, she was buried in the family plot in Live Oak Cemetery, Monrovia.

Mary married George W. STELSON on 04 Jul 1890 in Worth County, Iowa. George was born on 06 Sep 1858 in Fulton County, New York; died on 20 Sep 1897 in Northwood, Worth County, Iowa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"George Slawson: An American Pioneer" - by Harold D. Slosson
Frank was the adventurer, who, with his wife Nellie Dye, raised a family of six children. In spite of doing this, in his lifetime he was able to take part in many exciting things. Examples are holding down a Dakota timber claim, joining in the Oklahoma land rush, staking mining claims in Colorado's Cripple Creek gold camp, and developing sagebrush land near the Mojave Desert.....
After completion of elementary school, for a time Frank went to Osage Academy, located in Iowa's Mitchell County. Finally he attended Iowa State University at Ames, which had courses in agriculture, engineering, mechanical arts, etc. While there, he was a membe of the National Guard. Still preserved is a badge he received reading "Best Drilled Company, College Battalion, I.A.C., 1885".
Frank attended Iowa State University one year, it is known, and he may have gone there longer. Next, for three terms he taught school, with possibly a part of the time being in the Slosson country school....
Frank teamed up with another young Northwood man, an old family friend believed to be named Atwood. These two ytoung men took adjacent timber claims, located somewhere in the Dakotas, not then divided into North and South Dakota. It was rugged country, too, with some Sioux Indians, it is believed, still in the area.
Frank Slossn and young Atwood, living in cabins at adjacent corners of their respective "160s," did their cooking ("batching") together. It was an enjoyable period, but perhaps without the challenge of social contacts. After the prescribed year of work, Frank relinquished his claim and went back to Northwood.....
Frank accepted a position in the Railway Mail Service tht had benn offered to him. He would travel on the train and see that the mail went through. Earlier, all mail had been sorted at the respective post offices along the railroad line. Time-consuming for the postmasters, that method had slowed down mail collection and delivery as well. Then came the concept of having trained men traveling on a special mail car. They would continuously sort mail picked up in bags stationed by the tracks. The sorted mail would next go into other bags which were tossed off at new stations in succession. This railway mail service, it is recorded, worked well from the start.
Frank became a guardian and classifer of the U.S. Mail, with a chance to see that part of the country....
Frank was granted a leave of absence from the railway mail service to go to Oklahoma. To enter the land race..... Troops stood guard on the borders of this land to hold back the horde of prospective settlers. Then, on April 22, 1889, at the prescribed hour, bugles blew, and the big Oklahoma land rush was one.....According to the plan of this land opening, the entrant had the option of lots or of land. Frank chose lots, going right where the train took him - to what turned out to be the center of Oklahoma City....
Frank staked lots, camped on them, and held off all usurpers. He lived there for a while, probably "batching" in a tent. Around him in that immediate area almost instantaneously 15,000 people had come.....
It was probably a month or two before Frank had sold out and returned to Northwood. Frank's position was still open, and he continued with the railway mail service for some years thereafter.
Before going back to work for the railway mail service, he did have a moment of glory in this hometown of Northwood. After purchasing a new suit, it is recorded, he went around visiting old friends who immediately, in a grand welcome, dubbed him "Oklahoma." Frank was someone; he had participated in perhaps the greatest land rush of all time......
He had a romance with a pleasant young Northwood woman by the name of Nellie Dye. A popular member of Northwood's first high school graduating class. Nellie was also an artist, using crayons and oils for painting portraits and landscapes.....Interested in poetry, too, Hamlet had been her junior class essay assignment. Additionally she played the organ, having, one of the old pump types with tremolo and other stops for various effects....
Frank had an adventurour spirit and so, in 1894, after the depression of that year, he decided to leave the railway mail service... He decided to go to Colorado Springs, close to Cripple Creek.... Their new home, Colorado Springs, was over a mile high, the elevation being 5,980 feet....At first, according to Nellie in later years, they lived in La Verne, a place not now existent, on the Cripple Creek side of Colorado Springs. Here was born Harold Dye Slosson.... Eventually the family moved to their permanent home in Colorado Springs at 828 Spruce Street, near Mesa.
Frank, having friends in Colorado Springs, and some savings, went into the business of selling real estate and mining stocks. This latter helped the prospector to commercialize his mineral discovery. One of his business cards shows "McGill & Slosson, Real Estate, Mining Stocks, Loans & Insurance," with its location at 107 South Tejon Street. For a time, also, he was associated with C.S. Wilson, with the Colorado Springs Board of Trade & Mining Exchange, listing these partners in their directory as members in good standing.....
Partnership was common in those mining days.... He had a couple of mining claims with his father-in-law, Nelson T. Dye, in te rugged Tarrall area of Park County....In partnership with tow other Colorado Springs businessmen, mark L. Dorr and Alexander Merideth, Frank purchased some 160 acres just north of town....The partners soon surmised that down below the land surface was a layer of coal.....A Mr. Corley, who had come into the area with considerable means, leased the property from Frank and his associates on a royalty basis. A two-carpartment shaft was sunk some 477 feet deep, where they found the coal layers, as predicted...
In 1903, for the best interests of their family, Frank and Nellie decided to leave Colorado to make a new start in California.... It was just in tiem, too, for here is a quote about what happened in Cripple Creek: "In 1903 and 1904, one of the bloodiest strikes in the annals of labor started the decline of the (Cripple Creek) Gold Camp. Miners moved their families over night from the terror, and fear turned lose in the district"...
Finally the Slosson family came to the end of their travel at monrovia, California......On his arrival in Monrovia and for a while thereafter, Frank was associated with his brother, Charley, in the latter's real estate office on the main street in the center ot town..... Frank, however, had left the railway mail service in order to have his own independent business. Thus, after a time, he opened his own real estate office in Pasadena, nine miles west of Monrovia.....His first office was just north of the main street, close to a public park. Later he moved into a large, newly constructed office building on the main street, Colorado Avenue.
Frank soon became associated with business groups. He was a member of the Pasadena Board of Trade, which played an important part in the growth and development of the city. He was also a member, taking an active interest in the pasadena Realty Board. Meanwhile, in his residence town, always loyal to his political part, for a time he was president of the Monrovia-Duarte Democratic Club......
In 1918 came the great flu epidemic, one of the most disastrous of all time. And so it came about that on january 30, 1919, Frank Slosson - adventurer, developer, and father of six children - passed one, being laid to reast in Live Oak Cemetery in Monrovia.....
Nellie was a member of the WCTU, having seen woe and sorrow caused by liquor in the Colorado miners. Additionally, always of first interest was her church, which fortunately was within easy walking distance. For many years she had been a regular member, serving on various commitees as well. Now, on the east wall of that church she had fathfully served for a half century, is located a beautiful stained glass window, the "Moses" window, which was dedicated to the memory of Nellie Dye Slosson in a special ceremony.
Although Nellie, with her small frame, had appeared frail, nevertheless, she had a surprising amount of quick energy, with much endurance as well. She was also blessed with longevity, remaining active and mentally alert until just past her eighty-eighth birthday. Then she had a hip fracture, with complications from which she never recovered. And so, on August 20, 1953, she was called Home, with her buiral place being beside Frank in the Family plot in Live Oak Cemetery, Monrovia.

Frank married Nellie Miranda DYE on 10 Oct 1889 in Northwood, Worth County, Iowa. Nellie (daughter of Nelson Timberlake DYE and Martha Jane STONE) was born on 16 Aug 1865 in Wisconsin; died on 20 Aug 1953 in Monrovia, Los Angeles County, California; was buried in Live Oak Cemetery, Monrovia, Los Angeles Co., California.
