Elgin origins and early frontier notes from Postville Herald
Mrs. John Lyford of Elma visits with her mother Mrs. Lula Schmid from Tuesday afternoon to Thursday. Elgin was named by surveyor M. W. Burdick in 1851 to honor his home city of Elgin HL. Before that the town was Shin Bone Valley due to bones from Indian raids. White settlement was restricted for years as it was Indian territory. Pow wow gatherings occurred annually after settlers arrived.
