Notes about Edward M Thornburg


The following is from the Mitchell County, Iowa History, 1883, Page 350:

"Aaron S. Thornburg came from Allamakee Co., Iowa, in 1856 to aid David E. Cutler build a mill, after which he was engaged in logging and lime burning until 1868, when he purchased land on section 17, and at once engaged in farming, at the same time doing some mason work. He is the son of Absalom Thornburg, and was born in Virginia, December 16, 1836. His mother died when he was but eleven years old. Four years after the death of his mother, his father removed to Iowa. Aaron was married to Miss M. A. Gould, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Gould, who were among the first to settle in Mitchell County. They have nine children: Benjamin, Lula, Cora, Dennis, Guy, Blanche, Jessie, Pearl, and Roy."

Partial quote from a newspaper clipping, no date, no headline, no name of the paper: "Another old settler is Aaron Thornburg, 91 years, living with his daughter, Mrs. Carl Larson (1927)."

From the same source as above, page 354: "Edward M. Thornburg purchased his farm on section 17 in 1866. He was born in Wayne County, Indiana, January 27, 1831. His parents moved to LaPorte, Indiana when he was four years old, and there Edward grew to manhood. In 1851, his parents removed to Winneshiek County, Iowa. In 1853, he came to Mitchell county and assisted in building the dam at Cutler's Mill across Rock Creek. He was married in Winnesheik in 1855 to Jennie Brown of Richland, Ohio. In 1861, he came to Mitchell county and in 1866 bought and located on the farm where he now lives. They are parents of three children--William, Lettie, and Shirley."

Also from the same source, no page quoted: "The Cutlers also came from LaPorte, Indiana, and the mill was built in 1856 and used in 1857. . . . Among the settlers of 1856 were. . . . and Aaron S. Thornburg who was constable in 1882. . . . Among the settlers of a latter date were. . . Edward M. Thornburg."

Same source, no page or other reference: "John B. Lewis, son of John and Mary Lewis, born Lincoln township, Mitchell County, Iowa on December 31, 1858--married in Floyd County, Iowa March 3, 1880, Lettie, daughter of Edward and Lucinda Thornburg. Mrs Lewis was born in Franklin County, Iowa. They have one son--Charles Mont."
