Early Iowa County Surveyors and Prosecution Lineage
In the county's early settlement, survey duties were sporadic and by 1840 there had been one county surveyor. Ebenorar Pippy of West Union is named as the first, followed by M. W. Burdick and several others, with many later dying or moving away. The piece recounts biographical sketches of Burdick, Stearns, Blaisdel, Camp, Hoyt, Little, Neff, and others, noting their reputations, roles, and later fates. It also covers the succession of prosecuting attorneys from Wm. McGhatock to Milo McGlathery and mentions J. E. Gook and G. A. Newcomb, highlighting their careers and contributions to local law.
