Family's westward trek from Glasgow to Iowa in 1852
Sixty four years earlier on October 14 1852 a family from Glasgow Kentucky left for Iowa with two yoke of oxen and two riding horses. On December 12 1862 H B Buckman drove the ox team across the present court house site on the way to Landon Burch's. They soon settled in Union township two and a half miles north and west of the Burch mill, which became the family home.
