Description
An account of the resource
A formal portrait of Edward and Elizabeth (Lucas) Demory. The photograph is matted, presented in an oval shape with a design around the edge. Edward is dressed a suit with a tie pin and what could be a medal pinned to his vest. Elizabeth wears a dress with a brooch decorated with a woman's face pinned to her high collar. A watch brooch is attached lower down. Taken in 1881, it is likely this photograph was taken on their wedding day.
Edward Demory was born about 1852 near Morse, Iowa. Sarah Elizabeth Lucas was born about 1862. They married in 1881 and had four daughters: Cora (b. 1881), Edna, Lillian, and Geneva (Lovetinsky et al., pg. 89; Ancestry Library).
When Cora was young, she developed bronchial asthma. Heeding the doctor's advise to move to warmer weather, Edward built a covered wagon and took the family south. After some time, they moved back to Iowa, first to Bell Plaine, and then to Coralville in the late 1890s. There, Edward worked as a house painter and for the Jacob Hotz Ice Company.
Edward died in 1937; Elizabeth followed him in death ten years later in 1947 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 98).

Alvin and Leona (Conklin) Prizler pause for a picture on their way down the church aisle during their wedding. Alvin wears a dark suit. Leona has her arm in his, and wears a white wedding gown, veil, and pearls. A bouquet of flowers is held in her other hand. Their wedding, which took place on October 2, 1951, was the last to be performed in the old church building, used for Evangelical Free Church services.

Description
An account of the resource
A young Raymond Cole sits in a open four-wheeled carriage while holding the reins of two horses. A thin carriage whip can be seen standing up at his feet. The carriage sits in a open field with a line of trees in the back.
Raymond Roy Cole was born on August 11, 1897 to Joseph and Anna (Novak) Cole and was the youngest of four sons. He married Harriet Huffman, born on October 14, 1906 to Manson and Maguerite (Smith) Huffman of Iowa City, on November 22, 1921. Together they had three children: Raymond, Jr., Dean, and Harriet (Ancestry Library; Iowa City Press-Citizen, 1979; Lovetinsky et al., p. 96).
When Raymond's parents retired from the farm in the mid-1920s, he took over the operation. Much of the farm land now was used for housing developments and the construction of Interstate 80 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 96).
Raymond died on April 16, 1976. Harriet died three years later in July of 1979 (Iowa City Press-Citizen, 1976; Iowa City Press-Citizen, 1979).

Description
An account of the resource
Donald J. Anciaux was elected Mayor of Coralville in the first November election for the 1954-1955 term. He continued to serve through 1957, when Rodney Bidlack was elected for the 1958-1959 term. Mayor Anciaux was reappointed after Mayor Bidlack resigned in August of 1958 and continued to serve until 1961. He was employed by the Economy Advertising Company in Iowa City as a Pressroom Foreman.
During Anciaux's time in office, many advances in community recreation took place. The first recreation commission was appointed, baseball teams such as Little League was formed, a Recreation Center was founded in an old school building, Central Park and a summer playground were established, and the first recreation director, Earl Dennler, was hired. Also significant was the establishment of the first full time police force.
Anciaux was born on March 3, 1918 to James and Marie (Meyers) Anciaux in Iowa City, Iowa. He married Rufine Berning (b. February 21, 1922) on September 30, 1946. They moved to Coralville that same year and had four children. Donald died in August of 1992; Rufine passed on in September of 2007 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 79; Ancestry Library).

Description
An account of the resource
Merritt A. Ewalt served on the Town Council for three years, starting in 1942. In November of 1944, Ewalt was appointed Mayor of Coralville after Mayor Harold Breece resigned. Ewalt served for nine years, ending in 1953. He was employed by the University of Iowa as a carpenter.
During Ewalt's time as Mayor, Coralville experienced many changes. A modern sewage system was built, as well as a modern maintenance building. The Fire Station was enlarged and the Town Hall was remodeled. The Coralville streets were renumbered, a building ordinance and zoning plan was created, and a twice weekly garbage collection was established.
Ewalt was born in Marshalltown, Iowa to parents Myron and Lula (Hilsebeck) Ewalt on March 14, 1907. He married Mae Kelley of Greenville, Tennessee (b. July 24, 1907) on August 3, 1939 in Cedar Falls, Iowa. A year later, they moved to Coralville. Together, they had five children. Merritt died in July of 1980; Mae passed away in May of 2005 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 79, 86; Ancestry Library).
