Remarkable life of Bridget Nolan who shunned steam
Bridget Nolan, aunt of James McLaughlin, aged 78, emigrated from Ireland as a child. Born in Cavan, she traveled by sailing vessel to Canada and the Great Lakes, then by covered wagon to Winneshiek County Iowa. She never rode in a steam or electric vehicle in 65 years on the family farm near Decorah, educating herself at a rural school and preferring home. The Nolan family settled in Winneshiek County and kept a log house. The Waterloo Bank & Trust Co notes assets of 869,995.25 and deposits of 550,192.90.
