Heroes of Iowa's Worst Blizzard
The death of Joseph T. Mulroney marks the passing of a Prairie era hero. In January 1864 he and Henry Archer, both youths, hauled corn to Iowa troops amid a deadly blizzard on the Des Moines river frontier. They endured twenty four hours of frost, built snow barricades, and saved a fellow rescuer Kiren Mulroney from near amputation. Archer later prospered in Nebraska. Mulroney died recently, his life hailed as a testament to duty and neighborly sacrifice.
