Death of William Rost recalls pioneer days in Jackson County
A reminiscence narrates the Rost family voyage from Wisconsin to what became Rost township in 1870s Jackson County. It describes dugouts, sod houses, and early hardships, including grasshopper plagues in 1873, as the Rosts established homesteads near Heron Lake and along the Little Sioux trail. William Rost, eldest son, returns from Wisconsin in 1871 to help build a new frontier home.
