The Gladdenite tale of Springville in Platte County
A Platte County board record hints at Springville near Monroe Precinct with a remonstrance about a road opening. The narrative traces Francis Gladden Bishop and the Gladdenites, their move from Illinois to western Iowa, then Platte County about 1860, their mission to Pawnee Lamanites, and eventual departure after three years. The Gladdenite settlement lay three to four miles west of Oconee on Looking Glass Creek, near Monroe, which appears to be Springville.

Ford expected to veto housing bill
President Ford indicated he will veto the 1.35 billion housing bill. House GOP leaders said the veto stems from the bill's inadequate focus on the housing problem and its limited impact on starts. The bill would subsidize mortgage interest, aid unemployed homeowners, and offer cash and tax credits, but Ford prefers stronger consumer protections and a beefed up consumer division.
